Installed easily and improved an old computer's performance with gaming, streaming, and essentially all programs. Did not require any complex tweaking of bios or other settings. The fan almost didn't fit due to the adjacent stick of RAM, but fortunately there was just barely enough clearance to make it work. Got this one because it was the best we could install without having to go bonkers and start a domino effect of then needing to upgrade a motherboard or power supply or any other number of components. Worthwhile upgrade for an outdated rig.

An amazing budget CPU, arrived somewhat fast. Once I got to connect it to the PC, it shows it's the correct CPU and the performance for it is great for how much you would pay. Its able to do everything i need it to do and the included cooler is nice to have on a budget.

This is basically the 97 Corolla of CPUs. It's older technology but really cheap, well supported, and good for most mid-range and under scenarios. You won't find better value for consumer grade hardware outside of the used market. This typically beats the 5500 in real-world scenarios thanks to having double the chache and better connectivity support.

This Ryzen 5 3600 was a great upgrade to a $70 eBay auction HP computer that had a Ryzen 3 3200g. I gained almost 3x more power on the benchmarks . I had no motherboard issues switching processors . With a replacement HP, 350 watt power supply and a $200 used eBay auction RTX 3060 12gb gpu. Using 7b/8b models , Llama/mistral, I was getting over 40 tokens/sec speed. I even tried an RTX 2060 on the 3b models and the speed useable on that gpu.

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 is hands down one of the best processors for its price range. With 6 cores and 12 threads, it handles everything I throw at it with ease, from gaming to productivity tasks like video editing and 3D rendering. The Zen 2 architecture provides excellent performance per watt, and I’ve noticed significant improvements in both speed and efficiency compared to my older CPU. Even under load, the included Wraith Stealth cooler does a good job of keeping temperatures in check, and it runs relatively quietly, though you could always upgrade to a more robust cooler if you're planning to overclock. Speaking of overclocking, the unlocked multiplier makes it easy to squeeze out extra performance if needed, though it performs impressively well at stock speeds. The Ryzen 5 3600 also shines in gaming, with excellent single-core performance, ensuring smooth frame rates even in demanding titles. It’s also future-proofed with AM4 socket compatibility, so you can pair it with a wide range of motherboards. Overall, this processor is a fantastic value for both gaming and multitasking, making it a go-to choice for anyone building a mid-range PC. Highly recommended.

I update my computer builds about every 3-5 years depending on tech cycles. My last processor was an intel i5-7600K and it worked fine for my needs, until programs got progressively more crazy and I found myself as a professional graphic designer trying to work with Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop/After effects all at the same time. After 5 or so crashes and hangups, I decided it was that time to upgrade. I've never used an AMD processor before but I know enough that it doesn't make any difference for installation. But wow, has technology advanced in 3 years! I purchased this with a MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX (One of the few boards which come with the 3600 Ryzen bios update preinstalled.) Installation was as simple as dropping it into the slot in the correct orientation. Unfortunately neither of my CPU coolers had an AM4 mounting bracket, so I was forced to use the included Wraith cooler. While definitely beefier than intel heatsinks, it's woefully under-prepared for how much heat the 3600 can produce. With the included wraith cooler I can work, I can play light games, but anything that requires more power like Overwatch or whatnot will (during summer) overheat this chip in no time at all, causing a shutdown. But! I can now easily run all my design programs with each other with barely any lag, hangups, and they haven't crashed yet. I kept my GTX1080 graphics card, and Overwatch ran at a consistent 120 FPS during hectic fights at mostly epic graphics settings. Whereas with my older processor it would drop to 70FPS or thereabouts. Point is, the processor can make a huge difference with all the programs like Discord and various launchers and chat programs which are always running at the same time as a game. TLDR. Very good processor for the money. Way more than enough for most peoples needs, and plenty good enough for the budget power user. The only downside is the included wraith cooler, while the Ryzen 3600X comes with the better-reviewed Spire cooler for a little more money. Well, I have great coolers - just need to update the brackets for the current generation of sockets.
