## Description

AMD Ryzen™ 5 5500 6-Core, 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler.

Review: Solid performance and great value for money - The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 was an excellent choice for my PC. Installation was straightforward, and the included Wraith Stealth cooler maintains good temperatures without needing to invest in another one. With its 6 cores and 12 threads, the performance is more than enough for multitasking, gaming, and demanding programs. It feels fast, stable, and reliable, and offers great value for money. Without a doubt, a processor that meets and exceeds expectations.
Review: Solid Budget CPU For Under $100 - This CPU's performance for the money is remarkable, It's able to be overclocked and undervolted with decent performance gains for doing so. Some important things to know before buying it is that it lacks integrated graphics (requires a VGA video adapter AKA graphics card for display out) and it only supports up to PCIe 3.0, which does reduce your GPU performance a tad. (although its not really noticeable under most circumstances) The cooling requirements are pretty minimal given the CPU's low 65W TDP (Thermal Design Power) rating. The included cooler will keep it within safe operating temperatures unless under extreme load and overclocked in any way. I do however always recommend a decent aftermarket budget cooler. As with any AM4 CPU the pins are rather easy to bend by accident, be careful during installation. Overall a very good entry level AMD CPU for gaming and light professional work. 10/10

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great cpu
*by E***O on November 23, 2025*

This is a great budget part for a gaming PC. I use it for 4k gaming and it works well with most games that are not CPU dependant. It has 6 cores which is a sweet spot for gaming. The CPU stays nice and cool with the stock cooler under load. This is a good processor for a 4k rig. Pcie 3.0 makes very little difference in game play.
