AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Desktop Processor 6 Cores up to 4.2 GHz 35MB Cache AM4 Socket (100-000000031)

It's been more than 5 years. Still no issues. Definitely worth.

I purchased Asus Laptop 2012. No problem came for 5 years. Than I purchased Dell Laptop it worked for 5 years. No problem. After that in 2022 I switched to 11th gen i3 Laptop. Lenovo ideapad slim3 which broke in just 1 year. previously I had a workstation 2nd Gen CI7 2600K with P8H67 I deluxe from Asus. And it went well for 10 years. So finally I decided to build a pc which is solid build. And after a complete market research I came up with following specs. I needed basic graphics so I chose Nvidia 710 ddr5 rather than ddr3. Asus B520 M K motherboard. AMD Ryzen 5 3600 8 x 2 = 16 gb of corsair vengeance 3200 MHz Ant Esports Si11 Cabinet Ant Esports VS400L psu View Sonic 2209 Monitor Logitech M90 Mouse Logitech K120 Keyboard Gigabyte NVIDIA 710 2gb ddr5 graphics card TP link TP600 wireless card This complete built cost me around 31125 rs. I have not added Hard Disk because I already reached my limit of 30000. So I used my laptop M.2 NVME. 1TB. This PC is superfast. Within 2 mins I installed windows 11. From that u can imagine it's speed. Pros: Speed is good Cons: I made 2 mistakes in building my pc. First I should have waited and made my budget 40k. So I could have purchased 1030 gpu which cost 7000. It gives 1080 p output in games. I don't play games but I won't it for video editing. 2nd motherboard should B450. Actually this motherboard I didn't know existed till I purchased B520. B450 Has support for Higher Frequency Ram. B520 only has support upto 2666MHz. Though documents show that B520 support 4600 Mhz Ram. But when I saw performance it shows 2133 MHz. So little bottleneck you will see in performance. Otherwise only 1 min to install windows 11. Don't Purchase Ant esports cabinets because it has less space compared to other brands like Frontech - IBall - Zabronics - Enter - krystaa. Krystaa is totally a local brand but it defeats Ant Esports in terms of space and build quality. If u want gaming Cabinet go with zebronics. It will be very very helpful for long run. I hope everything is clear. Thanks to Amazon for timely delivery of the products and good packaging and intimation through emails.

3600 has the best to performance ratio than all the other cpus at this price. This CPU can handle most triple A games and the best part is you can pair it with a budget gpu like 1660 or even a high end gpu like 3070, yes it will bottleneck at 1080p with a 3070, but wont be a problem for 1440p, I get above 80 fps at least in every game I have played except cyberpunk. 3600 is also good for multi-threading tasks like programming, CAD , 3d mark , and general productivity My cpu boosts at 4.2 ghz with ease. Bear in mind tht If u pair it with the rtx 3000 series gpu u will get high temps because of the gpu exhuast if you are using the stock cooler, at load temp rises upto 80c

It's a great budget cpu now. I was using it until a year ago because the cpu couldn't handle The Finals game because of UE5.

Really amazing cpu, almost after 5 years working same as new

Title: Ryzen 5 3600 Delivers Exceptional Performance on a Budget The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 is a powerful and affordable processor that punches well above its weight class. I paired it with an A320 motherboard (after updating the BIOS), GTX 1660 graphics card, and 16GB of 3200MHz RAM. This combo easily handles the latest games at max settings in 1080p resolution. The 3600's performance is impressive for CPU-intensive tasks like video editing and 3D rendering too. It provides great value, especially when you consider the savings on compatible motherboards and RAM versus Intel alternatives.

Runs hot, 65c, had to turn off core performance boost and temps went down to 50. Unless you need the full power of processor have core performance boost stuff turned off, a lot of ryzen 5 3600's are failing because of temperature issues nowadays. 1. Thermal throttle this cpu at 70-75 from ur bios settings. 2. Undervolt it. It will affect performance by maybe 10%, but its worth it in long run.

This Processor is lightening fast. Absolutely one of the best in the market and faster than most any other processor. Totally brilliant and one of the best in the market for high end gaming. This is for a gaming rig I hooked up for my kids. It was long overdue. I am using a Asus TUF Gaming X570-PLUS motherboard with this AMD Ryzen-5 3600 MHz 6-Core processor with a Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM. My graphics card is ASUS Radeon RX 580 8GB Dual-Fan OC Edition GDDR5. The PSU is Corsair RM650. I'm using two hard disks in this. The booting is Western Digital WD Blue SSD 250 GB SATA III and the bulk storage is a standard 1 TB Seagate Baracuda as the secondary. All this is housed in a Corsair Carbide Series CC-9011050-WW cabinet. I'm using Samsung 27 inch Curved LED Backlit Computer Monitor and Redgear Pro Series Wired Gamepad. The keyboard mouse combo is Redgear Manta MT21 Gaming Keyboard. The sound is from F&D F-203G 2.1 Channel Multimedia Speakers System. Everything is bought here on Amazon within days of each other and it is perfectly matched. I recommend this processor and whole setup to anyone interested in building a top-of-the-line gaming computer that will not be outdated anytime soon. Highly recommended.

Perfect for my daughter to play Fortnite with. Runs smooth and cool.

Great CPU. It has definitely been an upgrade over what was is in my system before (Intel i7 860). Plus, the packaging was not only clean and without breaks. But (and I didn't know this), a layer of thermal paste was already on the CPU coolers bottom, which helped because I had forgotten to order some. Would recommend this CPU for someone wanting to build a medium-budget computer as not only does the CPU perform well but is still cheap for the performance you get.

Di parole e benchmark se ne sono sprecati tantissimi in giro per la rete, parlando dell'architettura AMD Ryzen. Inutile quindi ripetere in una semplice recensione quello che si è già detto, ma occorre comunque ribadire che finalmente AMD ha un'architettura ottima e con la sua terza incarnazione, i processori Ryzen 3XXX offrono delle prestazioni multi core sicuramente più elevate dei concorrenti intel, mantengono un TDP basso grazie alla litografia mista a 7 e 12 nm e sono comunque potentissimi anche nelle operazioni single core. Quindi costruire un PC basato su architettura Ryzen 2 oggi ha più senso che mai, anche e soprattutto se siete dei gamer. Ma quale Ryzen scegliere? 3, 5, 7 o 9? Ovviamente chi non ha limiti nel proprio budget sceglierà il massimo, ma per chi invece vuole fare una scelta sensata e oculata, il Ryzen 5 3600 è di sicuro un best buy, specie al prezzo inferiore ai 200€ nel momento in cui scrivo. Infatti offre prestazioni di tutto rispetto grazie ai suo 6 core fisici che gestiscono due thread ciascuno, quindi in totale offre un parallelismo di ben 12 thread; la frequenza base di 3600 Mhz che viene in automatico incrementata a 4200 Mhz nei carichi più pesanti e l'abbondante quantità di cache, oltre ai già citati processo produttivo a 7 nm e l'architettura Ryzen 2, lo rendono davvero secondo me una CPU molto appetibile per il prezzo a cui è proposto. Inoltre AMD vende queste CPU con tanto di dissipatore e ventola, davvero ottimo se non volete dilettarvi con l'overclock; overclock che è sempre possibile, in quanto tutte le CPU Ryzen sono sbloccate e il Ryzen 5 3600 in particolare offre un discreto margine, a differenza del più costoso e già pompato "gemellone" 3600X. Pensate sempre almeno di cambiare la pasta termica con una più prestante come la Artic 5 e di mettere un dissipatore migliore, nel caso in cui vogliate spingere le frequenze. A proposito, AMD ha appunto a listino il 3600X, che non è altro che un 3600 già spinto al limite ma più costoso e con pochissimo margine di overclock. Personalmente ho preferito quindi risparmiare, avere un consumo minore (il TDP del 3600 è di 65W contro i 95 del 3600X) e pensare all'overclock successivamente. Quindi, non ho dubbi: il Ryzen 5 3600 è il miglior processore AMD attuale quanto a prezzo, prestazioni, dotazione e margine di overclock. Ma cosa abbinare a questa bella e prestante CPU? Personalmente mi sono concesso un PC nuovo dopo ben 10 anni e ne ho approfittato per rinnovare un pò tutto: Ho abbinato al 3600 una MB AsRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4, in modo da avere una scheda madre future proof che supporti anche il PCI express 4.0, ovviamente gestito dalla nuova architettura Ryzen; Poi ho abbinato un kit di memoria Ballistic da 16 GB in dual channel a 3600 Mhz, un buon SSD M.2 e una scheda video AMD RX590 (non sono un gamer accanito); Case, alimentatore e accessori, essendo ancora attuali, li ho riciclati dal vecchio PC. Inutile dire che non ho speso poco, ma con 750€ circa è venuta fuori una configurazione di tutto rispetto, veloce e prestante. Ultime note: abbinate sempre a queste CPU una buona RAM ad almeno 3200 Mhz; non dovete per forza usare una scheda madre recente e costosa, potete montare questa CPU anche su una economica basata su chipset B450 e l'unica cosa di cui non godrete sarà il PCIe 4.0. Quindi se avete una CPU ryzen 5 1XXX, potete concedervi di passare a questa e avere dei buoni miglioramenti prestazionali, cosa che non consiglio di fare se siete già possessori di un Ryzen 5 2XXX o superiore: probabilmente i miglioramenti non giustificherebbero la spesa. La cosa che adoro di AMD in assoluto è la retro compatibilità: vi basti pensare che ho riutilizzato sul Ryzen 5 3600 il mio vecchio dissipatore a ARCTIC Freezer 7 Pro che usavo sul mio precedente processore su socket AM2, socket che ha ben più di 10 anni! Davvero fantastico. Concludendo, mi pare di non aver altro da aggiungere. Numeri e grafici li lasciamo ai siti specializzati, noi invece ci teniamo i nostri eccezionali Ryzen 5 3600!

I play Skyrim, Rise of the Tomb Raider and Grand Theft Auto V. All maxed out with a Zotac GTX 980 Ti Amp! Extreme 6Gb. The differences between the 3600X and 3600XT are not worth the huge extra money to buy so better stick with this plain 3600. I paired this with a Gigabyte x570 Aorus Elite Wifi motherboard and Crucial Balistix 3600 16-18-18-38 Memory 16 Gb. I have absolutely nothing to complain about. Installed Windows 10 on Samsung 980 Pro 1Tb NVMe hard drive and my system boots within 10 seconds. For the value, if you are not the gamer wanting the top technologies, this is a very good CPU that also comes with it's heatsink. I was a bit surprised about the SIZE of the heatsink, it's pretty flat, but hey, it works and I have no extreme heat peeks when playing my games and doing some basic video editing in Cyberlink Power Director!
