I wish they had ATX board and not Micro-ATX and I could have returned my B550 UD AC I just got delivered from Amazon for $90.

The 5600X I bought is part of a PC build meant to be an Xmas gift for my nephews that I wanted to put together ahead of time while it was still in stock at a decent price. Don't feel bad a/b pay $100 more for your 5600X. Imagine buying a 5800X for $325 in 2021 on discount from a promotion only for it to sell today in 2023 at $180-$190 while on sale: welcome to my life, lol. I don't lose sleep over it; as technology gets older, it eventually gets replaced by something newer and better and the point of diminishing returns occurs, forcing it to be sold at a "bargain" which sucks for early adopters, but is a boon for "slickdealers". It's the nature of the beast which I've learned to accept.
ยท
This is actually a pretty good deal. I recently bought a 5600X for $130 during Prime Day and an AsRock mini-ITX motherboard for around $90 if that means anything, and you shouldn't have any issues w/ the quality of Asus AM4 motherboards.
ยท
The flashback BIOS feature allows you to update/flash the BIOS w/o accessing the BIOS or OS. You simply copy the BIOS file to the root of a USB flash drive and connect it to the designated flashback port on the motherboard and press the flashback button and you're off to the races.

I agree. I bought this chip for a $100 more almost 3 years ago and it's a solid performer. I upgraded to a 5800X later and tried the Wraith Prism cooler from the 5600X. It was usable. Got 50c idle and 70c under moderate load.

#Facts, and it's loud as f*ck too. This one I bought is pretty good for my use case: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B6FD2V1B
It brought my temps down by 10 degrees on average compared to the stock cooler.

Good stuff I bought the same one, idle's in the low 40's now and may hit 80 if I push it(5600x likes to run hot, I was hitting mid 90's with stock cooler). Only thing people need to be aware of is the coolers size, it may be too large for some cases. Works amazing though.

It's worse for people like me that spent $850 on a RTX 3070 FTW ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Yes, I was able to get mine to hit 38 degrees on the low end and you are correct in your assertion that this chip does run hot. Even though the cooler's size should be a concern, it was able to fit w/o issue in the Cooler Master NR200 SFF mini-ITX case if that means anything.

Bless your heart ๐Ÿฅฒ... Luckily, I bought myself a 1080Ti during BF for around $550 in 2018 which held me over while last gen GPUs were being scalped to kingdom come. Once prices stabilized to its original MSRP, I decided against buying NVIDIA and sided w/ AMD's offerings, and I bought some of their high-end GPUs at a "bargain": a new Asus Tuff 6800 XT at $612 in July 2022; a new XFX MERC 6950 XT at $567 in June 2023; an open box 6700 XT for $245 in Aug 2023.

This is a great deal to build a decent pc around. And still plenty of upgrade options on the processor down the track.
