AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Review

Temperatures and Power Draw

Whereas the huge core count of the Ryzen 9 5900X and 5950X CPUs ran into thermal limits if we tried to overclock all their cores at once, the Ryzen 5 5600X has no such problems and is exceptionally cool at stock and not that warm when overclocked. It’s overall efficiency is excellent too, with a nice frugal power draw.
