Features onboard TPM so will work with windows 11, turbo's up to 4.2 Ghz without changing any settings, but consumes just 140w at full load - perfect for keeping electric bills down. Doesn't overheat easily, even with an incorrect cooler fitted and manages it's own clocks and temperatures rather efficiently without causing any instability. Great chip for those wanting a windows 11 compatible system or for those starting out with Ryzen.

This CPU is faster than expected, i had a 2200g before (few years old i5 performance+an integrateg basic gamer vga). That was crazy faster than my intel i3 laptop. But this cpu now makes a big difference again, it should be 33% faster on single core and way more than double on all core, (64 cores vs. cores 12 threads). It just feels more than 33% faster, i was not sure i will feel the difference, but this thing is powerful. Do you need 6 core or 12 threads? 6 cores are great, the extra 6 threads is like two efficient additional core, it just makes the product feels premium. And that is the pont you get premium product, premium single and multicore performance for 200 bucks, basically like a i7 8700k, which is perform similar than the i7-9700k, i forget about the integrated pci-e 4.0 and the new 7 nm process these all things makes it premium. I really should have consider the r5 2600(x), but that is not a premium product, single core performance is limited, memory controller also limited, but it is not a big deal, old technology, that is fast, just not a premium product, if somebody expect a decent manual overclock, will be dissaponted, most chip will not hit the 4300MHz on all core, prime95 stable, can be game stable, but not fully stable. Even decent cooling will not help a lot. It can be as fast as an intel on 4700MHz, but cannot hit a professionally cooled and/or delided, overclocked 8700k. another pont, you will need a ryzen 3000 ready BIOS, older boards still can/will have a not compatible BIOS, so they need to be refresh by a not 3000 series CPU first, wich is not a big deal, but a hassle.Read full review

Bang for the bucks plus a sweet Spot for a cpu, easy over clocks to 3600x. Did not use the AMD stock cooler( good though), I used the AMD Prism cooler, which kept it even cooler and has RGB goodness.

Amazing CPU for the price but it does run hot so you need the best air cooler you can get, Noctua a good starting point. Tip: under volt the CPU to 1.2v to reduce temperatures as it likes to shoot upto 1.4v. I have it overclocked to 4.1 Ghz and it idles at 40 degrees c.

I have always built my own PC as and when I needed. This is my first foray in AMD. Without a doubt the Ryzen 5 3600 is quick and vastly better price performance than Intel. Its powerful, quick and the thermals are great with the stock cooler. However, I made a fatal error - I bought a new mother board Gigabyte B450 I Auros Pro Wifi with a bios that was older than the release of the Ryzen third generation required. (Bios F30 shipped, needed F40 or better to recognise the cpu) . The motherboard failed to post but the fans turned on!! no noises no LEDs. Gigabyte were good they offered a UK address to have the latest BIOS installed. It is without doubt a blindingly quick system no matter how much bloat from Windows 10 I throw at it.
