    This is a great product and I love it. I bought it for my gaming pc and have had zero complaints. It has worked great and will probably stick with AMD.

    Great processor. If you can get it at it's $170-$190 MSRP in this market - it's one of the best processors out currently with respect to it's price to performance ratio.

    For gaming this is THE sweet spot CPU for 2020. Not the fastest, that's still Intel, but for the money it's the way to go right now.

    Amazing CPU. The wraith cooling fan that comes with it is also a very good fan. Also having thermal paste pre applied helped out a lot. Have not had any problems with it so far.

    Good budget CPU. Unfortunately, B350 bios would not flash up to Ryzen 3000 series, so I had to return it, but I'd recommend it to anyone with a small CPU budget.

    Upgraded from a Ryzen 5 1600, and it was absolutely worth it. My PC is only used for gaming, and my gains were substantial, even at 4K with a 1080ti.

    The 3600 is a great, budget cpu for the price. A quality product that can still do the job and work great in your system for $200. Especially if you can't grab a 5600x

    Still a rockin CPU, when paired with a solid GPU, crushes games. I play mostly VR games and with my 3070,there is no bottleneck. Plays everything with frames to spare.

    It’s a really good processor for gaming and great for Sony Vegas and photoshop. The stock cooler is great and it stays around 50°-60°c in a $28 dollar case with two or three fans.

    Fantastic CPU that runs the latest games well. No need for more than 6 cores/12 threads for every game I have thrown at it (except Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020).

    Being using AMD for years and the Ryzen chipsets have always been a work horse with great power for the price. I don't think I will ever go back to buying an Intel.
