A Detailed Look at the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and Its Performance with Various Games

To test the performance of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G, I decided to drop it down to low-medium settings and see how well it runs on the system. This was a great way to understand the capabilities of this APUs, which are designed for integrated graphics. The first game I tested was Fortnite at low settings, where I got an average of 73 FPS out of this. This is impressive considering that this APU is designed to run games smoothly.

Next up was GTA V at 1080p normal settings, and the system managed to deliver an average of 79 FPS out of this game. I had been waiting a long time for these integrated graphics to run a popular game like GTA V at 1080p over 60 FPS, and it's great to see that this APU can handle it with ease.

Moving on, I tested CS:GO at 1080p high settings, where the system delivered an average of 131 FPS out of this. While this is not the highest performance, it's still impressive for a low-end gaming PC.

The next game was Street Fighter V at 1080p medium-low settings, and the system managed to deliver a constant 60 FPS out of this. I had previously struggled with getting this game to run smoothly on other APUs, but this one is handling it with ease.

Next up was Warframe at 1080p medium settings, where the system delivered an average of 69 FPS out of this. This was actually impressive, as I didn't expect Warframe to run smoothly on a low-end PC like this.

I then moved on to Warzone, which is notoriously difficult for APUs to handle due to its high system requirements. However, with some tweaks and adjustments, the system managed to deliver an average of 60 FPS out of this game at low settings. While it may not be the smoothest performance, it's still playable.

The final two games were Doom Eternal and Cyberpunk 2077, which are both known for their demanding system requirements. However, even with these tests, the system was able to deliver respectable performances. In the case of Doom Eternal, I had to drop the resolution down to 720p low to get a constant 60 FPS out of this game. While this is not ideal, it's still impressive considering the demands of this game.

In the final test, I ran Cyberpunk 2077 at 720p low with dynamic resolution scale enabled, and the system delivered an average of 52 FPS out of this. This was a good indication that this APU can handle demanding games smoothly.

One thing to note is that the total system power consumption from the wall was higher than expected, coming in at 21 watts at idle. However, when gaming, the system averaged around 88 watts, which is still respectable for an integrated graphics solution. The maximum power draw during extreme testing was 137 watts, but this can be mitigated with proper cooling and management.

In terms of CPU temperatures, the thermal right cooler was doing a great job at keeping temperatures in check. At idle, the system averaged around 38 degrees Celsius, while gaming, the average temperature was 67 degrees Celsius. During an extreme test that maxed out all eight cores and 16 threads, the system managed to reach 93 degrees Celsius.

In conclusion, these results are impressive for a low-end gaming PC using integrated graphics. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is a great option for those looking for a compact and powerful build without breaking the bank. While it may not be the fastest performance, it's still capable of delivering smooth gameplay at lower settings.

Unfortunately, the 5700G APUs are only available through OEM or eBay, which may be out of reach for some buyers. However, AMD has announced that they will be releasing new APUs with the Vega DNA 2 graphics, which promises to deliver even better performance.

If you're looking to build a small form factor PC using an APU, the Ryzen 5 5600G is definitely worth considering. While it may not be the most powerful option, it's still capable of delivering smooth gameplay and respectable performance in various games.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey what's going on guys cta prime back here again today we're going to be putting together a super small form factor ryzen apu powered gaming pc now i've done a lot of these in the past from the 2000 series apus up to the 3000 series apus with the 3200 and the 3400 and recently we've put together some 4000 series apu builds but with this one here it's going to be a bit different because we're using the all new ryzen 7 5700 g recently i got my hands on an hp desktop powered by the same apu i did a video on it if you're interested in checking that out i will leave a link in the description but for this video we're going to go small form factor with the 5700g and we're also going to do a little bit of gpu overclocking now if you're interested in picking one of these up like i mentioned as i'm making this video they're only available through oems but you can get them gray market on ebay we'll leave a few links in the description but basically what we have here is the most powerful apu that amd has released today this is the ryzen 7 5700g eight core 16 threads base clock 3.8 gigahertz with a boost up to 4.6 we also have built-in radeon 8 graphics at 2 000 megahertz out of the box but keep in mind we will be doing some overclocking here so when it comes to the case i wanted to keep this small form factor so i went with the in-wind chopping this is actually a great case and you can find these on sale sometimes for around eighty dollars it's been on the market for a while but it's a great little apu case and it does come with some accents that we can put on here to change the color if you want to it's just going to be this little front strip here but as you can see this is a super small form factor mini itx case and it does come pre-installed with a 150 watt 80 plus gold power supply now this case is very limited on the cooler you can use we have to have a clearance of 47 millimeters and usually when i do a build like this i'll go with the noctua nhl but i found another cooler on amazon that looked really tempting so i went ahead and picked it up this is the thermal right am4 low profile it's 47 millimeters tall comes with a fan it's got a copper base four copper heat pipes but the fins themselves are actually made out of nickel this does have a lot more mass to it than the nhl so hopefully it does work out on this 8 core 16 thread cpu all right so let's go ahead and get right into the build for the motherboard i'm using the rog strix b550 gaming eye this is a mini itx board it is a bit more expensive but i picked this one up refurbished i recently did a build in a cooler master nr200 using the same board for storage i went with a one terabyte inland nvme ssd it's gonna go right on the front but you could place it on the back if you want to this does have two m.2 slots when it comes to ram for these apus you definitely want to get as fast as you can get but if you're looking at the 4 400 megahertz ram right now it's a bit expensive so i actually opted for 16 gigabytes of vengeance running at 3 600 megahertz but we will be overclocking this inside of the bios to 4 000 megahertz just to get a little extra out of it if you can afford that 4 400 megahertz ram i would definitely opt to do it it will make a difference with these apus so first things first i'm going to go ahead and install this one terabyte nvme ssd so now that we have our storage taken care of it's time to install the cpu to make sure it locks down nice and neat and now it's time for the ram i went with this rgb vengeance running at 3 600 megahertz 16 gigabytes running in dual channel dual channel is very important for these apus and once i have all of this taken care of i'm going to go ahead and install the heatsink we're using that copper thermal right and yeah for only being 47 millimeters tall this thing definitely has some heft to it it comes with all the hardware you need for am4 or intel but i opted not to use the included thermal paste i went with some of this master gel pro v2 i didn't have any noctua laying around so now that i have the motherboard assembled it's time to place this inside of the case and yeah this heatsink fit in here nice and neat it actually looks pretty good with that orange fan also it is a bit of a tight squeeze inside of this case i mean it's one of the smaller ones on the market right now with an included power supply and one thing i like to do with these in-wind chop ins is tuck all the cables over here right in front of this power supply there's a little notch that way everything's out of the way when i'm trying to slide this motherboard in here i've put my io shield in the back and uh let's see if we can make this fit so going in from the back to the front you don't want to put any pressure on your ram so i just usually use the heatsink itself kind of fell right in there now we can pull these cables out and as you can see it's a tight fit but we still have a lot of cable management to do hopefully i can get this thing looking pretty nice and after a few minutes and a couple zip ties it came out looking pretty decent i have everything plugged in and all the cables out of the way of the fans uh this is basically as cleaned up as i can get it given that we have such a small form factor but i do think it came out pretty nicely now if you do want to add some ssds the in-wind chopin does support two 2.5 inch drives in the rear but for this here i'm just using that one terabyte nvme drive and let's see if we can boot this thing up for the first time getting power to everything i may need to go in and reset this bios since it was refurbished um you really never know if the bios was reset or if it was just kind of placed back in the box and just to show you with that heat sink and ram the cover of the chopping does fit and this is one of the main issues when using this case here finding a cooler that fits and can cool your configuration so with the build completed it's time to see how this thing performs alright so here we are everything's been going really great with this little build and i'm really impressed with the temperatures using this cpu cooler here i've installed windows 10 pro and a bunch of stuff to test here we're going to go through about 10 different games and some benchmarks as you can see we have that ryzen 7 5700g and when it comes to the built-in radeon graphics the cpu is already more than enough 16 gigabytes of ddr4 and i have overclocked it to 4000 megahertz and the built-in radeon a graphics when it comes to these graphics here i've taken them up to 2300 megahertz from 2000 megahertz right out of the box so we have an overclock on the ram and the gpu now first thing i wanted to test here was those cpu temps and like i mentioned they're looking pretty good and just to give you an idea of how well this cooler is handling the 5700g i'm running cinebench here we're about eight minutes into the test this is a 10 minute test dressing out that cpu all eight cores all 16 threads we're hitting around 90 watts while running this and we've only hit a maximum of 79 degrees celsius and keep in mind the thermal limit on this is set at 95 degrees celsius that's when it's going to start the thermal throttle itself this is actually looking really good for a small form factor build with eight cores and 16 threads so just skipping a bit ahead here it didn't hit 80 degrees celsius while running this test and we got a total multi-core score of 13 667 which is absolutely phenomenal for an apu and i mean just forget about this being an apu itself for any cpu this is a really great score which leads me over to some more benchmarks first up we have geekbench 5 coming in with a single core score of 1556 and a multi-core score of 8889 really close to that 9000 mark and with a little bit of overclocking this could definitely hit it i also ran pc mark 10 and we came in with a 6821 now there's no doubt that the cpu side of this thing is pretty powerful for a small form factor build but what about that built-in radeon 8 overclocked to 2300 megahertz for this i ran through some 3d mark tests first up we have night raid with a total score of 19246 next up we have fire strike with a 4409 and finally time spy with a 1820 now if you're a regular viewer of the channel you know i do a lot of builds with these apus and integrated graphics these are the best scores that i've seen at a 3d mark out of any kind of integrated graphics that i've ever tested on my channel so far but those are benchmarks and to really see how this thing performs we need to get into some real world gaming i got 10 games to test here and first up we have overwatch so with this one here we're at 1080p medium settings with 100 resolution scale i got an average of 89 fps this is actually really awesome on a lot of these apus i do have to drop this down to low medium settings and to see it running this well on the 5700g is just pretty awesome next on the list we have gta 5 1080p normal settings we got an average of 79 fps out of this and i've been waiting a long time for these integrated graphics to run this at 1080p over 60 and i think we have it with the 5700 next up csgo 1080p high settings we got an average of 131 fps out of this i was really hoping we could hit that 144 mark but it's just not going to stick there street fighter 5 1080p medium-low settings we're getting a constant 60 here and in the past on other apus i did have to drop this down anywhere from 720p to 900p but it's looking pretty good at 1080. here's warframe at 1080p medium settings we got an average of 69 fps i was actually pretty impressed that this was able to run it at 1080p medium settings it looks pretty good and it's fully playable like this so going into warzone i didn't think we would have good luck with it now there were a few tweaks that i had to do to get this to run over 60 we're at low settings i do have the resolution set at 1080p but we have dynamic resolution scale on and with dynamic resolution scale in warzone i set it to kind of keep at 64 fps so i'm not exactly sure how low this is scaling down but it is keeping over 60. only 10. just gentian impact actually runs really well at medium settings 1080p we can hit that 60 mark there and you could either turn this to 30 and high or keep it at medium and go to 60. but yeah it is playable on this machine now moving over to a couple games that give these integrated graphics a run for its money first up doom eternal and as you can see i did have to take this down to 720p low and we still can't get a constant 60 out of it with this test rendering resolution is set at 100 so there is a chance you could get 60 if you drop that down to 75 percent but going into this test i just wanted to see what it would do like this and we got an average of 49 fps and the final game i wanted to test here for this video was cyberpunk 2077 720p low 80 resolution scale we got an average of 52 fps when building these mini pcs i also like to test total system power consumption from the wall at idle it's a bit higher than i thought it would be coming in at 21 watts while gaming we averaged 88 watts and the maximum that i could get this to pull from the wall in my extreme test was 137 when it comes to cpu temps this thermal right cooler is actually doing a great job at idle we average 38 degrees celsius while gaming through all the 10 games that i tested in this video the average came out to be 67 degrees celsius and with a 10 minute extreme test maxing out all eight cores 16 threads and the radeon 8 gpu i was able to get this to hit 93 degrees celsius but as long as you're not maxing out everything on the system your temps are going to be perfectly fine so in the end we're actually getting some really great performance when it comes to these apus or integrated graphics in general we got a super small form factor sleek little case here and overall if i do say so myself i think this build came out really really nicely now unfortunately these 5700 g's are only available through oem or you have to spend a little more on ebay for them but when amd first announced these 5000 series apus they did say that they will be coming to the public so it's just a matter of time but if you really want to wait on it there is rumor that the 6000 series apus from amd will feature our dna 2 instead of vega graphics and we're going to get a big performance boost when it comes to those but if you want to build something now and you're looking for a super small form factor apu build you really can't get much better than the 5700g right now so that's going to wrap it up for this video really appreciate you watching if you're interested in checking out some emulation on this machine definitely stay tuned to the channel because i will have that video coming up soon and if you're interested in putting a pc like this together i will leave my parts list in the description but that's it for this one and like always thanks for watchinghey what's going on guys cta prime back here again today
