AMD 5600X Overview
Precision Boost 2
AMD Ryzen processors monitor the system's energy consumption, temperatures, and other factors to automatically raise clock speeds, allowing applications to perform faster.
Precision Boost Overdrive
Precision Boost Overdrive technology takes advantage of your compatible motherboard's design to boost clock speeds higher and for longer periods of time. It also allows you overclock the processor at the touch of a button.
AMD StoreMI Technology
AMD StoreMI technology helps to improve load times and overall system performance by combining solid-state drives and mechanical hard drives into a single hybrid storage drive. Frequently used files and programs are cached onto the fast SSD while other files are stored on the high-capacity HDD.
AMD Ryzen VR Ready Premium
Ryzen VR Ready Premium processors are designed to meet or exceed the recommended specifications from the top HMD manufacturers, including Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and Windows Mixed Reality for smooth performance.
AMD Ryzen Master Utility
Personalized Performance
The AMD Ryzen Master Utility provides you with multiple custom profiles to store CPU, GPU, and DDR4 memory configurations. Use it to configure performance parameters for the active cores and adjust memory times. You can also optimize general performance or fine tune your favorite applications.
System Monitoring
Monitor your system in real-time using the AMD Ryzen Master Utility, which features a histogram of per-core clock rates and temperature, including average and peak readings.

AMD 5600X Reviews
Runs hot but fast
By James
Rated 4 out of 5

This thing is sweet, but I was touching 94.5C every time I ran games for more than 30 mins or so with the stock AMD CPU cooler. Noctua NH-U12S seems to be making a big (20C) difference so far. For the price it's rad, and AMD engineers have confirmed that these things are designed to run hot, so it's probably not a huge deal either way- but definitely consider a better than stock cooler for this bad boy.

So after rocking the 3300X for a while, decided to upgrade to this widely loved CPU whilst I wait for AM5 prices to go down a bit. Absolutely great in every way for a budget build.
Perfect!
