    This processor is great for gaming and other tasks. Workstations should go for the 5800 or 5900 for the additional cores.

    CPU is working great. I might be unlucky as I cannot seem to get an all core overlock to break 4.75 Ghz, but overclocking was never my primary goal with this Ryzen 5 chip.

    Love it. A 25% increase in performance from a 3600. Do use a AIO and get idle temps of 32-35 and load when gaming 55-60. Worth the upgrade. Would recommend.
