Description

Pros

Includes wraith spiral cooler

Great productivity and performance

Reasonably priced

Cons

Significant power consumption, gets overheated

Overclocked and generational gains are limited for gamers

Ryzen 5 2600X belongs to 2nd generation of AMD Pinnacle Ridge processors which are built on its new Zen+ architecture i.e. the new 12nm process to improve clock-speeds and performance.  Ryzen 5 2600X which is a sequel to Ryzen 1600X comes with 6 cores and 12 threads and an unlocked multiplier. The base speed is 3.6 GHz which can turbo to 4.2 GHz Precision Boost 2 frequency which is 200 MHz more than its sequel Ryzen 1600X. It features L3 cache of 16 MB and TDP of 95W which is same as its predecessor.

Ryzen 5 2600X - Zen+ Architecture

Ryzen 5 2600X comes with Wraith Spire cooler which matches its TDP of 95W. In addition, it supports memory type of DDR4 with maximum memory speed of 2933 MHz.
Like other AMD’s 2nd generation processors, Ryzen 5 2600X also makes use of Precision Boost 2, XFR2 and StoreMI technology which helps in utilizing the full potential of the processor.
Precision Boost 2 and XFR2 have already been explained in review of Ryzen 7 2700X. Here we will cover the concept of StoreMI technology.

StoreMI Technology

The main principle of StoreMI technology is , if the user has a mid-range system with a slow drive and he adds a small fast drive to access the frequently accessed files in a speedy manner than StoreMI creates a storage tier between fast and slow drive giving the user a single drive which has capacity of both the drives.
So the user can take any  PCIe SSD or HDD and combine them into one single drive having a capacity of all drives in the tier, the StoreMI will manage which data to move around into fast storage drive.

New X470 Motherboard Chipset

For all its 2nd generation processors, AMD has released new X470 chipset motherboard which have an improved memory layout, better overclocking support, reduced latency and lower power consumption.

However, all 2nd generation processors are still compatible with older generation X370 AM4 motherboards, only a firmware upgrade is required to make the new processors work .

The major difference between X370 and X470 motherboard is: Precison Boost 2 and XFR2 will not work in X370 motherboards.

We recommend following X470 motherboards for Ryzen 5 2600X  based on their compatibility, features and price:

Best for gaming Gigabyte AB350-Gaming 3 $84.99
Cheapest motherboard MSI B350M Mortar $74.69
