    It really does. Got a little nervous during the start, middle, and finish. But my MSI B450 Tomahawk Max had no complaints. Great deal for $200

    I was surprised by the performance of this processor, no need to overclock as long as you have a good memory

    Great processor for gaming builds! If you have one already, it will last for a long time. As of Dec 2020 though, you'll probably just be picking this up because it is the only thing you can get, if that. Paying MSRP for a r5 3600 isn't really a great value, esp since zen 3 came out last month, but it is a tough time to make a new build.

    Really reliable cpu for the price. I’m pretty sure you can’t get better for this price point. Especially since it’s 6 cores and 12 threads.

    I had the 5700xt 3600 pair and my machine definitely ran hot!! I thought that the problems I was having were due to the graphics card. But it was actually the the untamed heat that was bsod’ing my system. I didn’t have a sufficient cpu cooler or enough case fans. Once I got a sufficient cooler hyper 212 (better than the stock cooler) and a couple more case fans; everything works swimmingly stable!

    There is nothing to say much about the processor simply it's great and works fine for almost anything you can through at it. However, the fan cooler seems to work less effective and the the heat is high as well. The fan seems to spin pretty loud so I had to replace with the wraith cooler from Ryzen 7. overall is great and affordable component to have

    Great performance for $200, definitely one of the best value cpus on the market. Stock cooler was bad though. I would idle at 80°-90° c.
