  • 6 cores 12 threads super fast!
This CPU is amazing. It is great at everything. It can game, multitask, stream, productivity, and more. It’s priced good enough that even if you just want it for general computing it’s still great. This thing comes pushed to the limit straight out of the box pretty much. Traditionally I overclock every CPU I buy but with this one AMD have pretty much pushed them to the max for us. Which is great because it’s plug n play! Mine with PBO and Thermal Limits set to max stays around 4.250ghz on all cores gaming under full load with 1 of the 6 cores boosting to 4.35-4.15ghz. So in a game 5 cores will be at 4.250 ghz and one core will always be around 4.35-4.15ghz with that 1 core alternating so they take turns. This gives great ipc and single threaded performance as well as multithreaded. This gives high FPS in games due to the strong single core performance than a 4.3ghz all core overclock gets. You can basically set PBO to max and TBU to max and your motherboard and system will boost it as high as it can. It’s amazing it’s literally drop it in and your good to go this time around. No overclocking needed. I have this CPU in the Asus Prime X570-Pro motherboard if anyone was curious. It was 260 dollar board so it’s pretty nice imo. So your numbers may be different than mine. For cooling I’m using a simple Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo in Push/Pull with twin fans. Keeps my CPU in the mid 30sC idle, in the 50sC in gaming rather it’s an hour or all day long. Under Prime 95 stress test it topped out at 76C then dropped back to 74C and stayed there. For a 35 dollar cooler pretty insane. I have great case air flow so if you do not do not expect these results. The best way to get more performance from your Ryzen CPU since it’s basically pushed to the max out of the box is via memory. You can look it up if you wish. Memory speed significantly effects your cpus performance at least in gaming. It was shown going from 2666mhz to 3600mhz memory speed in games was giving huge FPS increases. In almost all games 10-20 FPS increase with some games increasing as much as 30-40fps. So if you buy a Ryzen CPU for the love of god buy 3600mhz memory with it. I have 32GB of G.Skill Ripjaws in mine all running at 3600mhz and that’s using all 4 dimm slots 4x8GB sticks in duel channel mode. Fast memory paired with this CPU in a good motherboard means you don’t have to overclock or touch anything this time around and you get amazing performance in all regards. I have my 3600x and 3600mhz memory paired with a RTX 2070 Super that is overclocked really well and I am playing any games I want at 1440P maxed out getting 100+ FPS in pretty much everything. If you want a nice CPU for gaming, streaming, content creation, or anything else well you’re looking at one. At this point in time the Ryzen 3600XT is out now which is basically this exact CPU except it runs around 4.6ghz in the boosting alternative core and probably around 4.4 on the other 5 core. So you gain roughly about 200mhz over this 3600x by going with the XT. Rather that’s worth it well that’s up to you. At most the difference in FPS between the two might be 5 FPS at max. So just get whichever is the best deal. Even the Ryzen 3600 non X or non XT does very very similar in performance to the X and XT and is 150 dollars right now. Everything I said pretty much applies to all 3 CPUs they are just an amazing gaming chip. ... show more

  • Great CPU Purchase
I ordered a Ryzen 5 3600X for a budget build I made with spare parts. The CPU was paired with a GTX 1660 Super. Great combo for budget builds. It has performed very well and temp has been very reasonable while under load. Don't regret my purchase.

  • I Bought the Ryzen 5 3600X, For the Wrong Reasons. I has really worked out well.
I recently became bond to my chair, and was looking to replace an old Intel processor to occupy my days. About the same time I started looking for computer equipment, AMD announced their new lineup of CPU's. I admit, I was pretty excited, and made almost every mistake the YouTubers warned us to avoid. Let's just say that I was ready to build a new PC way before AMD was ready for me to build what I wanted. I generally build a new machine every 5 years, and that was my plan this year. But, to get to 5 years, I felt I needed an X570 mobo, a Ryzen 9 3900X, 16 gigs of fast Ram, three M.2 drives, and an RTX 2080TI. Reality set in when I could not find a Ryzen 9 3900X, and the price of an RTX 2080TI, damnnnnnn. So, I changed my direction, and went with a Ryzen 5 3600X and a Vega 56 (which I found new for $270 - PowerColor Red Dragon). My thought was I could start with the 3600X, and resell it when the 3900X's were readily available. I had heard a lot about the Vega 56 (most of the information was to stay away for the card), but I decided it would be as much fun to play around with the Vega 56 as it would be to game with it. I think I made a good decision. My 3600X clock speed is always over 4300+MHz, and usually bounces between 4366MHz and 4399MHz. I am using an AIO and run the pump at full speed most of the time. The Vega 56 has been a wonderful GPU. Ok, no ray tracing, but I personally find Global WattMan incredibly easy to use, and I have no problem keeping the clock speed at 1643MHz. I have not put the Vega 64 bios on my Vega 56 yet, but I plan to soon. I did save some money with my current build. But, I still hope my wife will get me a Ryzen 9 3900X (I have no interest in the 3950X) for Christmas. If that does not happen, I will stick with my current CPU, and wait for a RX 5800 XT or RX 5900 XT if they ever come out; otherwise, will wait for the next AM5/6 CPU's when they come out. I really like my rig (highly Frankenstein'd case, with a Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro Wifi - you can read my mobo review - I like the card very much). The PC will certainly last for 5 years, but not with me. I expect that once an AMD GPU with ray tracing becomes available, I will pick one up and sell the Vega 56. I will also sell my 3600X in a couple of years. The 3600X will hold its value I expect. It is hard to go wrong with whatever you decide to buy. Dont over spend and have fun is my only advice. I may have over spent, but I had a heck of a lot of fun. ... show more
