Runs fast and smooth on my build! Cheaper than an intel processor and runs almost as good if not better

This thing is a really great value CPU. Went this route versus Intel. No regrets. Works amazing for gaming.

Was finally able to pick one of these up late 2020. This isn't top of the line for the times but it is the best bang for the buck under$200. This cpu comes with the smallest cooler of the Ryzen chips the Wraith STEALTH. Granted if you don't plan to OC this won't be a problem. However for an extra $30 a better cooler can be found. I haven't OC this yet but I did install a better cooler just so I wouldn't need to take the motherboard out in a couple months when graphic cards come back in stock (hopefully). Overall I don't have any complaints with this CPU and the Wraith Prism I paired it with. Fingers crossed for a minor OC in the future.

Just works great. Good price for a CPU that does everything well. 3rd one in the house in 3 different Motherboards and all work flawlessly with 3 different Ram kits at 3200

Perfect CPU for any of your gaming needs, without breaking the bank. Match it with a B450 or B550 motherboard, and you'll be set for Ryzen 5000 CPUs when availability clears up.

It's fast, supports pci-e 4.0, and the main reason I bought it was because my b550 board wouldn't play nice with a 2600. Runs a little warm, but amd says that's normal.

This is the best cpu i ever buy the price is cheqp anthe performance afe pretty good compare with the i5 of the intel

Upgraded from a ryzen 5 1600 and this is about 35-40 percent faster. Amazing deal for the computing power it delivers.

Wow. What a great CPU. I've been doing custom builds since about 1997. This thing is the right balance of price, performance and not going crazy on the wattage/thermals.

I have absolutely love my Ryzen 3600 build it works really good matched with the Hyper 212 cooler once you get your overclocking properly set this thing rocks......

it offers nearly the same performance as its more expensive counterpart, but at a $50 discount. That makes the Ryzen 5 3600 the uncontested value champ in its price range.

One of the newer generation cpu's. Great so far, in my every day functionality, as well as running Autocad. The price is unbeatable

A great processor! I run games w/ a 2060 super graphics card and can easily run war zone w/ over 100+ FPS with great graphics, but my frame do drop at the highest point but that’s fine, since my monitor only does FHD or 1920 x 1080. Temps are good for the most part going between 70 - 85°C and sometimes spiking to 95° C with the stock cooler. If you plan to overclock, I’d suggest getting a better cpu cooler than the stock cooler. My temps above are temps that are with an un-overclocked settings for the processor.

Fantastic performance for a great price. It easily handles productivity and gaming tasks with ease. For gaming it effortlessly pairs with the likely mid-tier graphics cards gamers in this price point would consider. Depending on your demands, you may want to consider a higher quality heat sink than what comes with the CPU. But for the average user, the supplied heat sink and fan adequately the job.

This thing is a nice little power house. Price to performance it's hard to beat. It installed easy and stays cool even with the stock cooler.

This is cheaper than an Intel and just as good or better than the Intel i5 CPU. You do need a separate Graphics card with this processor!!

Easy to install and smooth performance. I bought this to build a PC for relatives. They use email and youtube mainly (non-gamers). But, no issues at all.

This is one of the best CPUs for budget gaming and editing. With its 6 cores and 12 threads clocked at 3.6ghz with a single core boost to 4.2. This CPU is very good for high refresh rate gaming.

Like many reviews it’s greate for the money better than what intel offers at this price love that I can game and do home work all with this processor powering my rig up

Used this processor for my budget build and it has been so great to me, highly recommend this CPU for budget builds because it's a very adequate processor.
