  • Amazing CPU for my build. Lower cost! Best bang and performance
Style: Wraith Stealth Cooler
This was a great decision to buy! It super fast and plays the newest games very well! I can run Games and keep up with Slack communities and discord. Nothing phases this thing!

  • Great CPU for $200!
Style: Wraith Stealth Cooler
AMD has really done a great job in catching up and overtaking Intel. The Ryzen 5 3600 was, hands-down, the best budget CPU when I purchased it in 2020. For $200, this thing is an absolute powerhouse. This CPU will easily handle ANY games you throw at it, and can even stream at the same time without maxing out (at least from my experience). It ranks VERY well against its contemporaries (as long as you don't use UserBenchmark). It does run a bit hot, but the Wraith cooler that comes with it is enough to keep thermals within comfortable ranges. I use a 120mm AIO (which isn't the best CPU cooling method) and I rarely hit temperatures that exceed 75 while gaming. One thing I should definitely say now, in the era of Intel 11th-gen and AMD Ryzen 5000, this CPU is not worth it at prices above $200. The i5-10400 is running at $150-175. It may not be as good as the 3600, but it still is a good CPU and is much more affordable. Seeing this listing here that has the CPU at $240 is not good considering that we are in the era of Ryzen 5000 and Intel-11, AND Intel is tanking the prices of its 10th-generation processors. I am AMD all the way, but if AMD still wants to out-compete Intel in previous-generation sales, they will have to get competitive in the price area. If they do, then this CPU will definitely be a no-brainer buy for a budget builder since this CPU is still more than viable now. TL;DR - Worth it for $200 in 2020, not worth $240 in 2021 with the existence of Ryzen 5000 and Intel 11th-Gen. Still a very capable GPU for gamers. Would be more than worth it if price dropped to around $175. ... show more

  • Works as expected
Style: Wraith Spire Cooler
Came in perfectly fine, didn't have a single issue with it besides the fact that the thermal paste wasn't pre applied so make sure you have some just in case. The graphics are very good, it's smooth in games, boots up like it should. This is definitely worth it's price. The spire cooler is bigger than the stealth so be sure to do some research on which would fit in your PC or perform better. ... show more

  • Budget-friendly powerhouse!
Style: Wraith Spire Cooler
Installed on a fresh build 4/16/24. This processor is great for an entry-level or budget build. It’s a great value that really puts in a lot of work on only 6 cores. Install was easy, and it booted up no problem. I have not tracked specific temperatures, but this build doesn’t really require anything too strenuous. Two demerits contributed to the missing star. 1: The packaging was a bit weak. Plastic molds meant to hold the fan and cpu were broken and gave me cause for concern. (After inspection, I found all was well, but it’s never fun to hear a computer part rattle in the box.) 2: The fan comes with past already applied. I like that this inclusion makes the cpu immediately install-ready; however, the paste looks a bit dried out. I would prefer the paste to be included in tube form in the box. Putting on fresh paste makes me feel a whole lot better. ... show more

  • Arrived quick and works great!
Style: Wraith Spire Cooler
I paired a 2060 with a Ryzen 5 1500 knowing i’d have to replace it in the future, now that i finally have and was recommended a 3500; it works perfectly! it’s so smooth and my computer is running very nicely 🪱 (not to mention i bought a used one and it was practically perfect condition)
