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.

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.

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.

Apparently this has updated BIOS for 5000 series according to reviews and there's a BIOS Flash Back button, not sure what that means. Interested…still have an old i5-6600k that I can upgrade 🤣

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 😭
