Ryzen 5 4500 6-Core AM4 Processor
The AMD Ryzen 5 4500 is a 6-core, 12-thread desktop processor built on the 7nm Renoir (Zen 2) architecture. It operates at a 3.6 GHz base frequency with a 4.1 GHz max turbo and fits the Socket AM4 platform. The 65W TDP makes it suitable for compact or energy-conscious builds. A Wraith Stealth cooler is included in the box.
Upgrade From 4-Core Or Older AM4 CPUs
Moving from a 4-core AM4 chip adds two more cores and four threads, raising multi-thread throughput for encoding, compilation and background tasks. The 8MB L3 cache and DDR4 3200 support reduce latency compared with earlier Zen-based parts. The jump is worth it when your workload regularly saturates four threads or when a discrete GPU is already present.
Budget Gaming And Productivity Builds
This processor suits builders pairing a mid-range graphics card with a low-cost motherboard and fast DDR4 memory. It also fits home-office systems that need responsive multi-tasking without integrated graphics overhead. Buyers needing Quick Sync, display outputs or higher single-thread clocks should evaluate alternatives with integrated graphics or newer architectures.

Questions about this item
Does the AM4 socket require a specific motherboard bracket for the included Wraith Stealth cooler?
The Wraith Stealth cooler mounts using the standard AM4 retention bracket already installed on compatible motherboards; no extra bracket is needed.
What is the correct order to secure the four spring screws on the Wraith Stealth so pressure stays even?
Tighten the spring screws in a diagonal cross pattern, turning each a few rotations at a time until all are snug, to keep pressure even across the 65W CPU.
When should the pre-applied thermal paste on the Wraith Stealth be replaced?
Replace the paste if the cooler is removed for cleaning or upgrade, or after several years when temperatures under load rise noticeably above idle.
