Unboxing and Photography

The Ryzen 5 5600 comes in a compact paperboard box featuring the same brushed metal look we saw on other Ryzen 5000 processors. A small cutout on the side shows the actual processor inside the package.


Unlike many other Zen 3 processors, the Ryzen 5 5600 includes a heatsink in the box. The Wraith Stealth cooling solution is suitable for the 65 W TDP of the Ryzen 5 5600.


The processor looks like any conventional AMD CPU with a large IHS dominating the top and a 1,331-pin micro-PGA as the bottom. The whole processor die is made in Taiwan at TSMC.


The Ryzen 5 5600 uses the same Socket AM4 as other Ryzens, so there's a huge selection of compatible coolers.
