AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU Review & Benchmarks: Strong Recommendation

After four years, i finally upgraded to this CPU.

is this a cheapest CPU i can play at 4k? I'll never know because there are no 4k benches

want is the best AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core vs 220 amd ryzen

get to the point

Your videos used to have more cats in them. Please, more cats.

I just bought my first gaming PC for $550 off Facebook marketplace. I had no clue what to buy but what I read off the internet, I ended up buying from this guy upgrading to a new one. It has an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and a RX 570 with 32 gb of ram. is it decent? I have no problem playin on medium settings but I want to know if I can play games on high

So, the i5 9600k does better in gaming - especially when overclocked, and smashes the 3600 in every game, especially when OC'd. Yet the 3600 can be recommended for gaming but the 9600k can't?
Can you understand why some people may have questions about your fairness when it comes to the 3600 vs the 9600k in GAMING? Even in your OWN gaming benchmarks in this review there isn't ONE game where the 9600k has worse 1% and 0.1% lows than the 3600 (maybe by 1FPS or so in one of the games, in the rest of them it smashes the 1% and 0.1% lows of the 3600 in the lows as well as average framerate).
Can we at least get some fair reviewing going on here for gaming. I don't care about Blender, Cinebench and all the other crap, but it seems to me you are simply lying over the 3600 being a better buy for gaming than the 9600k!

Just snagged a week old 3600 with retail packaging/unused cooler for $120. Swapped out my 2700x for it in the x570 Media PC and 2700x will go to my kids B450 PC.

the stock cooler is absolute dog shit, my cpu overheated to a max of 104° while gaming a couple days ago. ordered a new cooler

Just bought it in 2021 for 200$👍

Man i wished i had bought this CPU a long time ago, it's so good for the money even so now in 2021!

Bought this in 2021! If your with me.

Even now (1 year later)... it's still a very good cpu for the price!

Well, nearly 2 years later I can add that MY 3600 never had any significant overclocking potential. Bought the... 200$ CPU for 240€, used an aftermarket cooler from the start to avoid the trash stock one. CTR said I had a bronze sample and PBO failed to impress.
"So, yeah..." (as Buildzoid likes to say)

1.4v is so high tho! wasn't the max recommended voltage 1.3v? and wasn't that even prooven to be too high in some motherboard cases since they report wrong?
I wanna increase my IPC so bad with the 2700 but at the same time I don't wanna kill it in a few months

I bought this thing for 179.99 at Q1 of 2020; it now retails for 249 on Amazon lol

is this the same thing as the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor? yes i did copy/paste

will it go well with an RTX 2070 super

I autoclocked my R5 3600 to 4,475Ghz with ASUS software, is that an nice OC for a 3600?

I not think Ryzeno 5 3600 boost all core to 4.2Ghz

Good review, very useful thanks

Rocking this exact CPU OC'd @4.4 all cores is a little beast :D

the pins on the amd chip would make a handy flea comb...

I LOVE MY RYZEN 5 3600XT
ASUS TUFF
2 x M.2 EVO SSD in RAID -0 On the Motherboard directly..
Just Insane speeds.
I want to pair it all with RTX 3060 Ti 12G SC Version.

Great information, but my god does your voice give me a headache.

I got this for 200... cause a 70 dollar good I think motherboard.. userbenchmark says 9600k is better but this has 12 threads at roughly same clock.. guess we’ll see

Edit: turns out comes with a wraith cooler. Never heard of it but since I thought I’d be buying one this is the better buy.

Pop open Ryzen master and toggle SMT on and off at will, easy peasy. If the game you're into performs at least moderately better I would. It seems like a no-brainer honestly. Am I missing something?

Wow. My 3600 holds 4.3 at 1.25V..did I win the silicon lottery?

Nice cat

Idk shit about pcs but is this compatible with MATX glass case?

This guy is very good explainer I may sub

Actually I could fully use a 360hz monitor Mr.know it all specification Steve. So 270fps is not more than any human could ever need. But nice mis info know wonder there's so many idiots out there.

Why do they put tape on the cpu ? Ive seen that in a bunch of thier videos.

someone get this guy another pot of coffee, it sounds like the 24 he's already had didn't have enough caffeine

Thank Steve. This comment was typed on a machine running a Ryzen 5 3600

r5 3600 or r7 2700x for video editing?

ffs , faster , go faster ,,,,,,, dooh relax ...
...,bye

why he put black tape on 3600 ihs? why some information is hidden?

What’s better ryzen 5 3600 or ryzen 5 3400g?

Looking back on this now there's the one thing I like the most: Socket AM4, and that AMD kept their promise to keep the socket alive through several generations. (As compared to some other company doing the exact opposite).
That alone have made many users I've helped upgrading to this 3600 CPU to decide to stick with AMD for a long time ahead. Being able to reuse a system and upgrade the CPU and RAM for a long time into the future is really attractive by itself.

I'm very happy with my R5 3600. Would the 3070 be a good match for the R5 3600?

Will It bottleneck Ryzen 5 3600x + rtx 3070?

I'm considering a build using the Amd Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 ghz 6 core processor and an Asus Rog Strix B550 -F Gaming (with Wifi) ATX AM4 motherboard. Now the Ryzen chip descriptions says "4 2 GHz max boost unlocked for overclocking 35 MB of game cache DDR4 3200 support" the motherboard supports up to 4400mhz ram. Now would I have problems if I were to run 16 gigs of 3600 ram in this setup?

AMD: I’m the best for every games because of my cores!
OpenGL games such as X-Plane: nope, we only care about 4 core and the cpu clock speed

The beginning of an era.
