Computer Upgrade King CUK AMD Ryzen 3 5300G CPU 4.2GHz 4-Core 8-Thread AM4 Processor with Integrated 6-Core 1700MHz Radeon Graphics (for Light Gaming) w/ 95W CPU Air Cooler

It exceed my expectations in performance and mine is set to 45w with igpu oc to 1850 from stock 1700 and running rock solidAlso the wrath cooler is the one we're fan doesn't have the little risers at each screw on fan so cooler is a bit shorter than some making it fit with ease I'm my ASRock x300 mini PC and it works great for great price compared to other sellers...and much cheaper than even a 5600g but performance is almost as good.....it is the best bang for the $ for AM4 mini PC setup...

This CPU is surprisingly power efficient for its era, and comes at a very good price right now. Be aware, it was an OEM only item originally, and my Asrock MoBo did not list it as compatible, but ASUS and MSI did, and it worked for me in my Asrock B450 mother board. You get 4 cores and 8 threads (as compared to 8/16 for the 5700, but it can be less than 1/2 the price, so you can get into this CPU for about $80 right now. a 4/8 core/thread 4100 without the graphics is only $10 cheaper. The video output did not work with the motherboard I was using, but I have not updated the drivers yet, and everything else is working and I am using a GPU anyways.

CPU was clearly used and had thermal paste squished in a bunch of the pins on the underside of the CPU. Didn't come in original packaging. Just came in a cardboard box. No idea what kind of warranty is left on it, but clearly these are used and should not be sold as new.

I've had many amd processors over the years. These 4-core 8-thread ryzens are great for general purpose computers just aiming to do office work, web browsing, YouTube, or even budget gaming with a dedicated gpu. They are relatively low power, easy to keep cool, and plenty fast for light workloads. I built an office pc using this chip and am quite happy; it performs as expected. At only $59, the value can't be beat.It isn't a huge jump up compared to an amd r3 3300x but does score a couple hundred points higher in cinebench r23 (~6900) and includes integrated graphics.definitely recommend this cpu for a comp builds up to ~$500

The processor was definitely not 'New,' but, it works, and came with the original accessories. I suspect that Computer Upgrade King (the seller) pulls these from systems they upgrade before reselling them, so, the processor was potentially unused, but, I do wish this was more clear in the listing - the price is good, the product is genuine, there isn't really a good reason not to disclose that this is (most likely) a reclaimed OEM part, especially if it's unused.
