About this item
Upgrading an older AM4 system on a budget? The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 is a 6-core, 12-thread desktop processor rated at 4.2GHz for Socket AM4 motherboards. This open-box chip is listed at $75. It's a practical CPU for budget gaming builds, home office PCs and refreshes of aging AM4 rigs.
Will the Ryzen 5 5500 work in my AM4 motherboard?
It uses the AM4 socket, but support depends on your board's BIOS. Check your motherboard maker's CPU support list, and update the BIOS before swapping chips if needed.
- Graphics: confirm whether you'll need a separate graphics card.
- Cooler: ask whether a cooler is included with the open-box chip.
- Pins: request close-up photos of the underside to check for bent pins.
- Box contents: check whether the original packaging is included.
