    Very solid cpu, provided extremely good frames in my main game (counter strike) and never overheated with the stock cooler. Very reliable and I’m still using it two years later!

    I built my first pc for 1k on this, and it proves to be really fast and efficient for what I want. I am running very good frames, and it almost never lags, great bang for your buck!

    I first put it in my computer it ran at okay speeds, but when I overclocked it I was amazed on how fast it ran. It comes ready to install cooling fans with the thermal past already on it and cpu ready to plop it into the slot.

    This processor is a beast when combined with the 1660 Super 6GB card. Running most games 300-500 FPS. I did however get a different CPU cooler than the one included as I have heard it isn’t great and can leave the CPU running hot.

    Best bang-for-the-buck AMD processor you can get at this time. As long as you're not paying over $200 for it you're doing good especially if you are upgrading from a 2000 series AMD chip and have a 400 series motherboard.

    No need to spend hundreds on dollars on the top tier CPU’s when this one will play most games at great FPS and handle most workload you throw at it. After doing my research for best bang for buck CPU this one was it.

    Amazing processor, my CPU heavy games are running fantastic. The fan could be better, since the cpu still gets hot from time to time. Other then that, this a is great product!

    Solid CPU for light work load or multitasking, older model but it is cheaper and almost the same FPS as newer one just less GHz. But I got it for my streaming PC which is more GPU intensive then CPU intensive.

    Although I did end up swapping this chip out for a 3700X, I would highly recommend the 3600 to anyone looking to put together a machine capable of crushing at gaming and everyday tasks.

    Works great with stock cooler, if you decide to OC use an after market cooler. Don't upgrade to the 3600x as it only gives you about 10 more FPS.

    Probably could have went with Ryzen 7 but for the money this CPU is more than enough. I'm not a "hard core" gamer, normally just play sports games none of the other games. Love the 6-Core 12_Thread and AM5 Socket.
