Description
The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X 3.7 GHz Six-Core AM4 Processor, which has six cores and 12 threads to help quickly load and multitask demanding apps, will boost your computing experience. The 7nm 5th generation Ryzen CPU, which uses the potent Zen 3 architecture and is designed for socket AM4 motherboards, offers much better performance than its forerunner. The Ryzen 5 5500X is designed to provide the performance required to easily manage jobs ranging from content production to immersive gaming experiences.
6-Core, 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor for AMD Ryzen 5 5500 with a Wraith Stealth Cooler. It has a base clock speed of 3.7 GHz, a maximum boost clock speed of 4.6 GHz, and 32MB of L3 Cache. Support for PCIe Gen 4 technology and 3200 MHz DDR4 Memory with compatible motherboards are additional features. This processor has a Wraith Stealth cooling system and a 65W TDP (Thermal Design Power). Please be aware that as it lacks an integrated GPU, a separate graphics card is necessary.
Features
AMD Ryzen” 5 5500 Gaming Performance
Quality Boost 2
AMD Ryzen CPUs automatically increase clock rates so that applications run more quickly by monitoring the system’s energy usage, temperatures, and other conditions.
Overdrive Precision Boost
The design of your compatible motherboard is leveraged by Precision Boost Overdrive technology to raise clock speeds higher and for longer periods of time. Also, it enables you to instantly overclock the processor.
StoreMI Technology from AMD
By fusing mechanical hard drives and solid state drives into a single hybrid storage drive, AMD StoreMI technology aids in enhancing system speed and load times. While other items are kept on the high-capacity HDD, frequently used programs and files are cached on the quick SSD.
Ryzen VR Ready Premium from AMD
The main HMD producers, such as Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and Windows Mixed Reality, have suggested criteria for the best performance, and Ryzen VR Ready Premium processors are made to match or surpass these requirements.
Ryzen Master Utility by AMD
Personalized Results
You may keep different custom profiles for your CPU, GPU, and DDR4 memory combinations using the AMD Ryzen Master Tool. Use it to modify memory times and set performance parameters for the active cores. Also, you can improve overall performance or tweak your preferred programs.
System Watching
The AMD Ryzen Master Tool, which includes a histogram of per-core clock rates and temperature, including average and peak measurements, allows you to keep an eye on your system in real time.
FAQ’s
Does Amazon have any anti-bot implementations?
No longer will Amazon even respond to questions about their predilection for scalpers. I believe scalpers can make more money if you pay them more. I will buy from B&H once they have the Ryzen 5000s available.
Is it compatible with the Asrock b360m ib-r1?
Currently, a few Asrock B450 motherboards support it. Not from me using one, but rather from a few overclocking communities in which I participate, where users of the board have supported my assertion with evidence. But unless a special bio is made or the board manufacturers are really generous, I doubt it will ever work on the B360.
Does this ship with Far Cry 6 then?
It is absent from Far Cry 6. There are only the 5700, 5900, and 5950.
Is the TB350-BTC (AM4) supported by this processor?
You can try it by coloring the 350’s bios onto the 450 version. There might be a risk-free way to try it out. 350 boards or so underwent this work. If you brick your board, don’t hold it against me.
Would a Dell Optiplex 7010 be compatible with this?
Not a, but an AMD processor.
Fits the NZXT H510 Elite mid-tower case this CPU is in?
A CPU can fit in any casing, to put it simply. They are small. Verify whether motherboards and components like graphics cards are compatible with the cases.
Are the ASUS Prime B550 Plus and the 5600x compatible right out of the box?
The pre-installed bios will determine this. If the motherboard came with a section that said “AMD Ryzen 5000 Ready,” that would be helpful.
Does this work with a motherboard model b450m DS3H?
You will, however, need to update your BIOS.
Is this capable of supporting two monitors?
Sure, however, that depends on your GPU.
Can I use this CPU with what kind of motherboard and card?
Most b450 motherboards will support this processor if the bios are updated. If you’re referring to GPUs, any graphics card will work as long as the required drivers are installed.
Does this support ASUS Tough Gaming B550M-plus Wi-Fi?
Indeed, you should frequently check for BIOS updates on the MB website. This board is currently supported by BIOS/UEFI 1004. You might need to check the board after installation and make any necessary updates.
Is it better than the Intel Core i7-8700k desktop processor despite having 6 cores that can reach 4.7 GHz?
Yes. Check at online benchmarks, however, this ought to run better than an 8700k under almost all workloads.
Which advertisement caused you to decide against buying the offered product?
My last three custom-built computers have all used AMD, and I enjoy AMD.
Is this compatible with the ASUS B450 m-A/csm motherboard?
Any motherboard for the B450 series will function provided the bios is up to date.
