Review on πŸ’ͺ Enhanced AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core, 12-Thread Desktop Processor with Wraith Spire Cooler for Unlocked Performance by Jose Ortega

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Comparing the 3600X to the 3600 is impractical. Despite what people say, this is a good buy.

People will try to tell you "don't buy a 3600X, just buy a 3600, overclock it to 3600X and save money." Sorry , Zen2 doesn't work that way. The 3600 and 3600X use the same voltage to achieve their respective clock speeds of 4.2 and 4.4GHz, meaning the 3600X can only be compared to diving in and running it. potentially unsafe voltages, at this point an extra $35-$50 looks a lot better than $100+ to cool the 3600 well enough to keep up with the 3600X and even then the 3600 will NEVER beat the single thread Reach the performance of the 3600X. .If you don't want an 8-core CPU, you want that particular CPU, skip 3600 and select that one.

Pros
  • 6 cores 12 threads bundled with powerful AMD Wraith Spire cooler
Cons
