Un processeur qui tient ses promesses ! Performances excellentes en multitâche et en gaming. La fréquence boost est idéale pour les tâches exigeantes. Le ventilateur Wraith Stealth est efficace et relativement silencieux. Très bon rapport performance/prix.

J'ai acheté ce processeur juin 2020, je l'utilise encore aujourd'hui, je suis très satisfait.Je reprendrai un AMD le jour où je change.

Great processor for the price. Performance is strong and it keeps up with modern games, temperatures are never an issue either.

先日このCPUからRyzen9 5900XTに乗り換えたんですが、コア単体の性能差は数百メガヘルツしかなくて動画見たりする程度の使い方では3600で十分です。ゲームするにしてもゲームでCPUで並列処理をするようなゲームなんてそうそうないし、これと安めのミドルクラスのグラボを買えば十分です。今なら5500が同じ値段だからそっち買った方が良さそうですね。正直5900XTは宝の持ち腐れですねw

Used in a system for gaming and Photoshop work for over 3 years now, currently paired with a RX 6600. More than capable of 1080p gaming and seems to handle moderate production work in Photoshop and such with no issues.I've built a system with a R3 3100 in the past, and I have to say that the R5 3600 is much better value for a lower-end system if it's in your budget. I hope that this processor will still be available in the future.

I play Skyrim, Rise of the Tomb Raider and Grand Theft Auto V. All maxed out with a Zotac GTX 980 Ti Amp! Extreme 6Gb. The differences between the 3600X and 3600XT are not worth the huge extra money to buy so better stick with this plain 3600. I paired this with a Gigabyte x570 Aorus Elite Wifi motherboard and Crucial Balistix 3600 16-18-18-38 Memory 16 Gb. I have absolutely nothing to complain about. Installed Windows 10 on Samsung 980 Pro 1Tb NVMe hard drive and my system boots within 10 seconds. For the value, if you are not the gamer wanting the top technologies, this is a very good CPU that also comes with it's heatsink. I was a bit surprised about the SIZE of the heatsink, it's pretty flat, but hey, it works and I have no extreme heat peeks when playing my games and doing some basic video editing in Cyberlink Power Director!

May want to get an 8 core for streaming games but perfect for the average gamer. Bought it for 375 CAD but saw it on sale later for 320 CAD. Oh well, live and learn. A high tier gamer might want to consider the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X version with the more powerful fan and higher overclock (or if the games you play are more CPU heavy than GPU like Anno). For my mid-tier gaming purposes, this CPU was perfect and will work well with most GPU's without bottle-necking them. Comes with thermal paste already applied. YAY!!

Consider me an AMD convert.Not going to get into the Intel vs AMD debate at all here. I had an old intel processor (i5-2500k) for a long, long time now, obviously that is now a very dated CPU. Jumping directly into this generation's processors is a night and day difference. I've tried some older games where my old CPU would struggle with (e.g. Starcraft 2) and the R5 3600 passed with flying colours with regards to large army engagements, which would usually cripple my 2500k to I don't know about the stability/DOA issues people had, maybe it was just the growing pains that came with the initial launch of the Ryzen 3000 line. But personally, my chip worked right out of the box. Remember that some of the older B450 motherboards may not support Ryzen 3000's out of the box - if it says "MAX", however, or specifically says on the box that it supports Ryzen 3000, then of course it'll work fine. Otherwise, you'd need to go through a bit of a runaround of using an old AMD processor (which you can request AMD to mail a loaner to you) that's backwards compatible with your motherboard, go to BIOS and flash an update or buy a board that has "flashback" capabilities which not all boards have - in terms of B450 boards, I believe only MSI sells versions with BIOS flashback; ASRock and Gigabyte doesn't at all, Asus has one option, so do consider that when you're component shopping.Anyways, I have a MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max and it works beautifully with the 3600. Paired it also with the beast that is the Noctua NH-D15 cooler and my CPU stays well within tolerated temperature limits. Idles at 35c, tops out at 71-72c when all cores are at full load. I'm impressed. AMD has managed to climb out of the hole it was once in when Intel was king and now firmly planted itself in the conversation for an argument for a better value CPU for gaming PCs. Bravo AMD for finally injecting some competition into the marketplace, that will only be better for all consumers to drive down prices and increase innovation/performance.

Price was super inflated over black friday weekend! I had to constantly check throughout the weekend and snagged one for only 260! Coming from a 10 year old Windows XP computer this chip really is blowing me away with its incredible value with the amount of todays AAA games it can run flawlessly! Using a mini itx board and case...Its normal for thermals to get a bit high however using the ryzen master I undervolted and its no longer that big of an issue. Keep in mind I did not use the stock cooler provided and bought a wraith spire second hand which I think is helping it keep cool as well.

Empezemos por el precio, yo compre esta CPU cuando estaba a 175€ por ahi en Junio/Julio. Por aquel entonces, para conseguir 6 nucleos y 12 hilos pagabas aproximadamente 100€ para comprar Intel. Es decir, con lo que pagas por una i5/i7 equivalente con eset pack acabas comprando la CPU, la Placa Base y encima todavia te queda dinero para la RAM. No solo eso, encima te viene con un ventilador/cooler que para lo que es, te saca de apuros. Yo lo utilice los primeros 3 meses y nada mal, eso si, si va a ha hacer overclocking(OC) o a hacer tareas mas intensivas para la CPU, pues considera comprar un cooler extra por 20-40€, y ahi ya tira lo que quieras.Y esa es otra de las ventajas, que te venga un cooler incluido, y que la CPU este desbloqueada para hacer overclocking. Una maravilla. Ademas, si a esto le pones la RTX 3080, apenas veras diferencia entre esto y CPUs que cuestan el doble o triple (que si, que hay un 10% mas de fps con esas cpus, pero cuando has de pagar 100-200% mas por solo 10% mas de fps... mal negocio) ni le haras bottleneck. Otra cosa es que recomiende poner una GPU de 700€ o mas con una CPU de 200€.Ultima ventaja, si os pillais una B550 o X570 teneis la upgrade asegurada a las Ryzen 5000. Con la B450 y las X470 todavia queda por ver cuales si y cuales no. Eso si, al parecer no deberia haber problema y a partir de Enero de 2021 ya podremos hacer la actualizacion a las nuevas R 5000.Eso si, quedais avisados, la nueva generacion esta al caer (las Ryzen 5000), y va a ser una mejora considerable. Pero si no sois capaces de encontrar la nueva generacion, y esta está por 180€ o menos, vaya regalo! Y otra cosa tambien, Cyber Monday y Black Friday, a ver hasta donde bajan los precios.En conclusion:- Si encontrais esta CPU por menos de 180€, no encontrareis nada mejor en el mercado (en los proximos meses, claro)- Te viene con un Cooler bastante decente, que te saca de apuros y te ahorra gastar 30€ extra en un cooler.- Si te pillas una B550/X570, en un futuro tendras el upgrade path asegurado, y promete bastante.- Le pones cualquier GPU y apenas te hara bottleneck.

The 3600 is by far one of the most next gen and competitive AMD CPUs out there to date. Coming from the i7 6700k then to the r7 2700x and now the r5 3600 (wanted better gaming performance) . This cpu is basically a 8700k in terms of raw power and gaming for a really good price while including a cooler and thermal paste its really hard to beat. Almost same performance in work loads as the 2700x of course doesn't have 8 cores but wayyy better gaming performance in certain titles (r6 was around 50 - 70 fps better and csgo was over 150+ difference ) paired with my 2070 this thing is lighting fast. If you are doing heavy workloads with gaming on the side? 2700x or 3700x cause 8 cores is perfect, but for pure gaming the 3600 is impeccable especially at the price. Better than my 6700k at 4.5GHZ, major recommendation
