    Does not match the AMD Hype

    Not the value CPU I was expecting. All the YouTube reviewers rave over this CPU like it's the second coming of Christ or something but I didn't get that feeling. My CPU could have been defective because it just seemed to be sluggish at best. I have not experienced lag after clicking an icon in decades yet this CPU just seemed to lag every icon I clicked. Maybe it was because I did not do a fresh install but even after reinstalling windows the sluggishness did not go away. This CPU was suppose to rival the Intel i5 9600K but nothing I saw gave me the impression that it was even close; so I went back to the Intel i5 9600K. Since this return I did invest in the AMD 5600X and I am here to say it's a considerable improvement over this 3600.

    This is a great value CPU. I have used it quite a bit under heavy loads, and the only issue I ever had was that the CPU cooler screws were a little bit janky to screw into the mobo. I definitely suggest this to someone trying to build a quality PC with a mid-to-low budget.

    The ryzen 5 3600 is an amazing processor , matching the proformance of lest get flagship CPUs at half the price. That being said I perchased it at full price and about 12 hours after they dropped the price significantly and they wouldn't let me return it and get it rebuy it at the lower price

    This is my first build, it was easy to install. Just had trouble installing the fan at first but that was my fault. Haven't been able to turn computer on yet, I'm still waiting for my graphics card to be delivered so I haven't been able to see how everything's running yet.

    So far so good. Part of update/pandemic build. Have not really stress tested it yet. As of now the CPU is causing no issues and playing nicely with the rest of the components. Looking forward to optimizing the new PC and this Ryzen 5 3600 should be more than adequate.
