AMD Ryzen 5 3500 3rd Generation Desktop Processor upto 4.1 GHz 19MB cache AM4 Socket

Best processor for budget gamers Its soo good for the price u get it And if you are confused between this processor and 3600 the let me tell you there is not much difference in gaming performance both perform good u won't notice any difference it all comes down to price and what your needs are if ur a gamer and want to make a budget pc for gaming @1080p just go for this and if ur a streamer and gamer and also u do some editing work n all then go for 3600 coz it costs more 6k.

This is very good CPU for its price. I upgraded my R3 1300x to R5 3500 and the performance difference is very noticeable. Currently I am using it on my MSI B450M PRO VDH (BIOS update required). Cinebench R20 Single Core : 466 Cinebench R20 Multi Core : 2544 I have paired it with my AMD RX 570 4GB and I would like to tell you about some games in which I have got Massive FPS boost after upgrading my Ryzen 3 1300X to Ryzen 5 3500 Gears 5 1080p Ultra settings From Avg. 37 to Avg. 56 Metro Exodus High Settings 1080p DX12 From avg. 36 to avg. 54 on every other game I play i got FPS boost of Avg. 10 FPS on every game. Temperatures on stock cooler is near 77 to 80 degree while gaming or rendering. So I recommend to buy any good cooler to keep your temperatures low.

With some fan curve tweaks Temps also don't go above 75 Degree even under full load (Sometimes fan gets Loud). Its almost 15 days since I am using my Ryzen 5 3500 at 4.2 Ghz Update 5 CineBench R20 Scores @4.2 GHz Single Core : 484 Multi Core : 2778 Update 6 Tried Tencent Emulator to Play PUBG Mobile See Screenshots for details Update 7 I Overclocked my Ryzen 5 3500 to 4.3 GHz All Cores (Voltage set to Auto) without any problem Cinebench R20 @4.3 GHz Single Core : 493 Multi Core : 2806 At 4.4 GHz Cinebench R20 was crashing Again and Again but System was Stable I will try to Benchmark at 4.4 GHz and update here Update 8 Paired It with my New GTX 1650 Super Please CHeck the Screenshots for FPS Details of games I tested these games at 1080p resolution 1. The outer worlds ( Very High Settings) 2. Rage 2 (Ultra Settings) 3. World War Z (Ultra Settings) 4. Greedfall (High Settings) 5. Gears of War 5 (High Settings) 6. GTA V (Very High Settings) 7.

Don't buy it if you're upgrading from a 4 core thinking it will solve your high usage problem and if you want to play cpu intensive games like assassin's creed then better go with 6 core 12 threads or even 8 cores but this processor is not enough for those otherwise processor is great and you will get high fps if paired with a good graphics card I was unable to enjoy kingdom come deliverance so upgraded to 3500 from 1300x and now I'm enjoying it Below are the fps I get with ryzen 3500+rx580oced (approx fps) 1. Gears 5 ultra settings - around 80 avg 2. A C origins low medium - 60+ but in cities around 45 3. Mafia 3 medium low - 60+ 4. Gta v very high everything - 78 avg 5. Kingdom come high+hd textures - 77 Will update more games Temperatures are fine in gaming but went upto 80° while stress test even using aftermarket air cooler It is using my graphics card to it's full potential but when more cpu power is required then less fps is delivered by it Upgrading from a 4 core ryzen my pc got faster in multitasking and no lag whatsoever It goes upto 4.1 ghz as described but not all cores Mine crashed after 3850mhz all cores by automatically overclocking easy tune app If you're considering it then buy it you won't regret even i don't regret but yes if there were more threads then I could play cpu hungry games easily My sole purpose of buying this processor was to play games like assassin's creed without compromising in performance or visuals but I'm compromising it and still not getting 60 fps constant My 4 core ryzen did the same thing so I upgraded but it is also same in this regard. Still a good processor and best in budget Definitely there's no other option other than this don't buy 1600 or 2600 if you have money buy 3600 or go with 3500 I recommend this cpu and it can be paired with good graphics to give you very good fps and only one or two unoptimized games will be difficult otherwise this cpu is very good and best in class.

Really good for entry level builds. I combined it with zotac 1660 super works like a charm and it is super budget friendly got it for rupees 10000 during grand gaming days

I brought this processor in March 2020 and I am writing this review on 29 June 2020. So I have used this processor for almost 3 months now. I paired it with RX560 4 GB GPU and 16 GB Ram. I can run all modern AAA games @50 fps and 1080p resolution easily. It can handle photoshop and premier pro easily. Rendering will take some time. But you will need a proper CPU case to keep the processor cool or you will need to buy aftermarket CPU cooler. My CPU case is not very good so I have to always keep the side panel open while gaming so CPU stays below 70° C . I am going to buy a cooler master cooler now and you should too to ensure long life of CPU.

Its not best right now. But you budget is low then go for it

I purchased it in the mid of January 2021 and paired it with Asrock B450m Steel Legend motherboard, A-DATA XPG Gammix D10 3200 MHz RAM, Ant Esports ICE-300TG cabinet, Ant Esports VS500L PSU, Sapphire Rx 570 4GB graphics card, and Verbatim Vi3000 NVME M.2 ssd. System booted well and installed Win10 within few minutes. But after installing all other applications, while running GTA-V, the system shut it down itself without any warning. After few minutes, I started the system again and installed MSI Afterburner and again started playing GTA-V. I observed that the temperature was hitting over 80 degree C just after few seconds starting the game. As I am using Ant Esports ICE-300TG cabinet with 3 intake fans and 1 exhaust fan, I couldn't believe that the processor was hitting such a high temperature. Then I stopped the game and installed Cinebench R23 and got a multi processor score of 6725 with a temperature of 93 degree C max. Then I opened one side of the case and temperature went down to 83 degree C with multi processor score of 6792. After some research I found that the culprit is its Wraith Stealth stock fan. Then, I ordered Deep Cool Gammaxx V2 fan and after installing it, I got a Cinebench R23 score of 6913 with max temperature hovering around 62 degree C with case closed. The gaming performance of the processor is excellent. I haven't overclocked anything but have enabled XMP profile to run my RAM at 3200 MHz. The GPU is also working excellent and none of them are bottlenecking each other.

Ryzen 3500 is a good offering from AMD. It performs well in gaming. However, AMD must improve the design of the socket and cooling solution. Stock cooler that comes with it is difficult to mount and install. It was my first time building a PC though. Need to be careful with this.
