AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core, 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Wraith Spire Cooler

Incredible for the price, watch the thermals
I will admit, I was hesitant to buy an AMD CPU. The benchmarks put it competing with Intel CPUs that cost nearly twice as much, so even though I’ve used Intel since my very first build I decided to try it out. And this CPU cannot be beat for the price. If you are planning on buying a CPU for a gaming rig, BUY THIS CPU. It blows the tits clean off any other Intel core at this price point, and every game I have thrown at it hits the 144 FPS mark. Before I upgraded (admittedly I was due for an upgrade, I’d been abusing the crap out of my i5 4690k with ridiculous overclocks) I had trouble reaching that 144fps on a couple games, namely warframe, GTA5, and Monster Hunter World. After this CPU, they all hit that cap across the board.Power consumption is relatively low for how much work it does, and the boost clock has run for about 2 weeks now without any instability or crashing.The only thing you should look at is buying a better heat sink. While the one they include is certainly better than any stock heat sink I’ve ever used, testing Monster Hunter World for an hour got the temps up to 78° at max with it installed, usually hovering around the high 60s. While that’s still technically a safe temperature… it’s still a bit high for my tastes, especially since I’m tired of constantly keeping an eye on coretemp. Plus, the fan isn’t the quietest thing in the world, and the settings I used had the fan hit full power at 67° which meant it was almost always running at full whack. So I threw an old coolermaster on and the same tests maxed out at 69° averaging about 60°, which is much better.My mantra used to be Intel for CPUs and AMD for GPUs, but I’m an AMD man across the board now. I planned on buying the i9 9900k, but a friend told me to look into this CPU instead. I think I owe my friend a drink or two now since he saved me $200+!Bear in mind, the computer I use this on is used almost exclusively for gaming. The fact that this CPU is only 6 cores for a newer model makes me think it was specifically designed with gaming in mind. I cannot speak for other applications that are CPU intensive, especially those that benefit greatly from multiple cores. But for every current gen game, even crappy ports like Monster Hunter, this CPU is top-notch quality for a mainstream price.

Esta é a primeira vez que uso um processador da AMD nos meus PCs. Depois de ler muitos reviews e comparativos decidi fazer a experiência e até o momento tudo está 100%. O principal fator que me fez optar pelo AMD Ryzen 5 3600X foi não só a sua performance, superior ao Intel Core i5-9600K, mas também a compatibilidade com as novas arquiteturas recém lançadas pela AMD. No caso da Intel, houve mudanças de socket depois da nona geração o que me colocaria sem possibilidade de upgrade sem a troca também da motherboard.Fazer upgrade de CPU e Motherboard em um computador com o Windows instalado já foi uma enorme dor de cabeça, mas o processo com o Windows 10 foi extremamente tranquilo. Foi só trocar, ligar e o Windows fez (quase) tudo. Depois uma atualização de drivers e tudo certo.Para quem quer performance, escalabilidade e economia recomendo!

Hardware (soweit relevant):- Prozessor: Ryzen 5 3600X ohne Overclocking (zuvor Ryzen 5 1600X)- Board: MSI X370 SLI PLUS- Prozessorlüfter: Arctic Freezer 13 Tower Kühler (gefiel mir von der Geräuschentwicklung schon auf dem 1600X, daher habe ich nicht den AMD Lüfter verwendet/ ASIN B0048F64DU)- RAM: 32GB Crucial Ballistix Sport LT BLS2K16G4D32AESC 3200 MHz mit Overclocking auf 3333Mhz (ASIN: B07M5RKH5Z)- Grafik: MSI Geforce GTX1060 6GB- Gehäuse: Be Quiet Silent Base 800Also, erstmal das neueste BIOS auf’s Board gezogen, den 3600X mit dem Artic Freezer 13 eingebaut, den Rest des Rechners wieder montiert/angeschlossen und los ging’s.Das Plus an Performance war deutlich spürbar (z.B. beim Boot und beim Start von Anwendungen, aber auch bei Nutzung des Web) und auch messbar (z.B. Cinebench R20 Multicore +1013 Punkte/ Cinebench R15 Multicore +427).Zu Beginn hatte ich auch das Problem, dass der Rechner im Leerlauf kaum unter 50 Grad (Celsius) zu bekommen war. Dann habe ich die aktuellen Chipsatz-Treiber installiert und siehe da, im Leerlauf nur noch 33-40 Grad und beim Stresstest kaum über 70 Grad (lässt sich auch auf “ComputerBase” im Forum nachlesen Post “Ryzen 5 3600X zu hohe Temp” Beitrag #20). Auch der Boost auf 4400 Mhz (angezeigt werden 4398 Mhz) funktioniert wie erwartet.Wer dann noch wegen der Lüftergeräusche Probleme hat, kann die Lüfterkrurve anpassen.Der Ryzen 5 3600X kostet derzeit ca. 200 € und bietet damit eine sehr gute Upgrade Möglichkeit, gerade auch für ältere Boards. Den Ryzen 7 3700X bekommt man aber auch schon für ca. 90 € mehr (muss jeder für sich entscheiden). Das Plus an Leistung beim Wechsel vom 1600X auf den 3600X macht sich deutlich bemerkbar, nicht nur bei Benchmarks, sondern auch im täglichen Betrieb. Zu hohe Hitze lässt sich mit den aktuellen Chipsatz-Treibern beheben. Wem der AMD-Lüfter zu laut ist, sollte noch ein paar Euro in einen Alternativlüfter investieren.Ich bin sehr zufrieden und die dritte Ryzen-Genaration dürfte auch die Letzte sein, die auf meinem Board noch läuft.
