This is a powerful CPU for the price. It works great with my RTX 2080 Super with no bottlenecks at all. Temperatures are good and it doesn’t get too hot under load. My last processor was an Intel Core i7 6700 and at the time was $289. I snagged this Ryzen processor for $169 and it is about 40% faster than my old Intel while consuming the same energy. Very good value and performance. Only con is the socket does not hold the CPU very well. The first time i took this CPU out of my motherboard, the thermal paste had adhered it to the cooler. This cause the CPU to rip right out of the socket as I was attempting to take off the cooler and 3-4 of the pins bent and it would not go back in the socket. Luckily, I was able to bend the pins back with a small screwdriver and very gentle force. Just beware of switching motherboards or CPU coolers. I would stay away from any pre-applied thermal pastes.

I bought this CPU wondering if it was going to be an upgrade over my Intel I5 6600K. I can honestly say it is. In a number of newer game titles my old processor was running at 100% cpu usage and causing stuttering in those games. Overclocking the processor did help in those titles however it was still not enough. After I upgraded to this processor the performance in those games increased substantially. My cPU usage went from 100% down to around 50% to 60%. Even in regular desktop usage things are a lot snappier. If you are on the fence about getting this processor to replace an older Intel I5 processor I would highly recommend you do so if you have the funds.

It is hard to beat this processor for the cost. I have two machines with the R5-3600 (B450 and B550) and they do not disappoint. Both do well, one in a reclaimed SFF case and the other in a tower rig. Both run cool, within a couple degrees of each other. Both benchmark very high, top 10% of machines regardless of processor/board combo. On day to day tasks they keep up with my R5-5600X B550 machine. My 5600X spends most of the time switched off in favor of the SFF 3600, even though the graphics are vastly different (but 80fps at ultra is still good for my gaming!).

Great upgrade from a Ryzen 5 1400. With that chip i was getting severe audio cut-out issues while playing games. With this new chip those are gone, and there also appears to be a overall speed-up in system performance. Highly recommend for roughly $130 on the second hand market if you are still running 1st Gen Ryzen.

I am glad to see that AMD updated the 3600 and included a larger fan. This SKU comes with the Wraith Spire cooler instead of the Stealth. Kudos to AMD! My processor is now very quick and very cool!!!
