Model overview based on user reviews  
The AMD Ryzen 5 Pinnacle Ridge is highly praised for its excellent price-to-performance ratio, making it a top choice for budget builds. Users appreciate its 6 cores and 12 threads, which provide high performance even without overclocking. The processor is noted for its low temperatures and efficient heat dissipation, especially when paired with a suitable cooler. Many reviews highlight its capability to handle gaming and multitasking efficiently, with some users successfully overclocking it for enhanced performance. While the boxed cooler is adequate for non-overclocked use, an upgraded cooler is recommended for those looking to push the processor further. Overall, the Ryzen 5 Pinnacle Ridge is considered a reliable and powerful option for both gaming and general use, with the added benefit of being future-proof due to its compatibility with the AM4 platform.

An excellent popular processor for your money, I advise you to take it.
18 November 2020 
I've been using the processor for about 20 days, and everything is satisfactory. I was considering getting the Intel Core i5 9400F instead of the AMD R5 2600, but I haven't regretted choosing the R5 2600. It's a pretty good chip for the money. It's suitable for streaming, gaming, and even rendering.
- Low temperature (Yes, yes, 66 degrees at peak with BOX cooler.)
- Ability to overclock to 3.9 GHz.
- Presence of SMT.
The only thing that spoils the impression a little is the requirement for RAM, namely its frequencies, but in principle overclocking the memory to at least 3200 is not a problem. And the lower frequencies for this fermented baked milk are simply not the frequency, the only negative that I found.

A decent processor for its price

An excellent CPU for its price. Easily boosted to 3.8 GHz, but during a stress test in Aida 64 with a stock cooler, it heated up to 105 degrees.
All
It requires a bit of fiddling with the voltage at a frequency of 3.8.

Excellent percent. I recommend to buy
20 February 2020 
Excellent processor. The best in its price segment. The boxed cooler does a pretty good job even with turbo boost, but if you want to overclock harder, it’s better to buy a better cooler. I took it in combination with HyperX fury and B450 aorus elite memory. Everything works perfectly. Clearly better than the 3600, because given its price, the performance of the 2600 is not much lower.
Good price/performance ratio. Performance. If not overclocked, even the boxed cooler will suffice.
If overclocking it is better to take another cooler.

Still the king

The old Ryzen 5 2600 turned out to be so successful that even after almost 3 years from the moment it was released, it is still a fairly powerful and inexpensive processor that provides optimal performance for most users without breaking the pocket. And, of course, in the future it will be relatively painless to replace it with a more recent Ryzen, since, unlike Intel, AMD uses the same AM4 socket for all Ryzen chips. That is, in most cases, the upgrade issue rests on updating the firmware for the motherboard. But, again, perspectives are only half the fun.

Optimal price and performance

With a price tag of $ 135, the Ryzen 5 2600 offers the user something that its competitor is still not mature enough to. And these are 6 physical + 6 virtual cores that operate at a nominal frequency of 3.4 GHz and boost up to 3.9 GHz if necessary. Add to this relatively low power consumption, 16 MB of L3 cache and an unlocked multiplier with excellent prospects for manual overclocking and you will get a real king of the low-cost segment. If 10 years ago, low-cost PCs were shoved with Athlone-type plugs that hung when opening a dozen tabs, then the Ryzen 2600 demonstrates how far progress has come. On a low-cost PC for a nominal $500 with this chip, you can comfortably work in Photoshop, Ableton or DaVinci Resolve, even with fairly heavy projects. In games, it also shows itself perfectly, so the final FPS result will depend primarily on the graphics card. In general, there is a margin of safety for another 4-5 years for sure.

stock cooler

For a build with a limited low-cost, this option is also good because you don’t need to buy an additional cooler for it. Now both the boxed version with a cooler and the OEM version of the processor cost approximately the same in retail, so you can save a little. Especially since the existing Wraith Stealth cooler, although lacking stars from the sky, does a good job of cooling the Ryzen 5 2600 both in stock mode and with turbo boost, while remaining relatively quiet.

But if you plan to squeeze all the juice out of the processor by overclocking it to the Ryzen 2600X frequencies, then it would be more expedient to look for a favorable price for the OEM version of the Ryzen 2600 and buy a conditional Deepcool GAMMAXX 400 for it.
