    this CPU is great. the only thing I have an issue with (not really with the CPU itself) is that the CPU coolers rgb is semi controllable. you can change the fan color and effect but you cant change the rainbow ring surrounding it. its the smallest detail but it still bothered me a little.

    great little processor. too bad support from best buy and amd are non existent, so buy from here at your own risk, IF you can get your hands on one. nothing i do can max the processor out, pishing recording sessions and havent reached a track limit yet. with games, doesn't max out on max settings, just the 5500xt does(only available card for hundreds of miles) i would buy this from anyone else with better support. best buy doesnt care about its customers or their purchases

    Good CPU, funky colors of the cooler coming out of the box. I can't say much about performance - worked well as a temporary substitute while waiting for 5600x.

    I went from a i5-9300H in a ASUS gaming laptop to this... i'm running 5 accounts of Eve Echos using the virtualization software and a 3d printing slicer in the background it's laughing at me at 41% usage. I don't own enough software to make this thing break a swear.

    This CPU has treated me extremely well (through all the growing pains associated with newbie PC building). Never had an issue, and the cooler it comes with is nice to the eye and keeps the cpu at reasonable temperatures for the gaming load I've put on it.

    the 3600 or 3600x are better values for the money when it comes to just gaming. the 3700x offers more cores/threads which translates to better multitasking performance. If you intend to stream then this one is the best deal overall.

    Bought it on a sale I wasn't expecting. But a worthwhile upgrade from my old one. Nice and fast and my PC never slows noticably with a Hyper 212 Evo black rgb cooler. I can game with my ac off in my room all night and do it with ease.

    Bought this to hold me through several years into AM5 which shouldn't be a problem in the slightest bit. Installed seamlessly in my old B350M board too just by simply flashing the bios, love how compatible Ryzen boards are so much.
