    Very reliable and a lot of power for a low price. It stays pretty cool even with the stock cooler. 10/10 recommend

    Upgraded from a FX 8350. Massive upgrade and really brings out the best in my old GPU the RX 480 8gb. I play mostly FPS games with the graphics settings on high. CSGO 200+ FPS, COD Warzone 80+FPS.

    This unit is an amazing option to pair with other components for 1080 up to 4k gaming. Multitasking is a good reality based upon the applications. As always i recommend YouTube videos with this processor in action. New elephant in the room that 3000 series AMD processors are also Windows 11 compatible in running the operating system in BETA with inevitable launch.

    It comes with a cooler, which is adequate, but I switched to an AIO water cooling setup to make the system a bit quieter. No problems out of the processor so far. This is a great starter processor for getting into PC builds for gaming.

    Came from a ryzen 2600 to the 3600 being that I was building a extra pc. It is a difference as far as power usage and definitely does what we need as far as gaming and streaming at 1080p 60fps. Also to be noted its paired with a evga xc ultra gaming 2070.
