Review on Experience Unprecedented Speed with the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Processor and Wraith Stealth Cooler by Shannon Saunders

This processor cured my depression

This processor cured my depression. Thank you AMD Lords for bringing this amazing technology to the world. This is one of the best processors in terms of price / performance for gaming. I bought the 3600 instead of the X because I didn't see the point of paying $50 more for a small performance upgrade and a letter. My old CPU was an amd fx 6300 which I bought 6 years ago for $100 along with a gtx 970. As you can imagine this would have been a huge CPU bottleneck in the 6 years I've been gaming. It worked, but I wasn't getting as many frames per second as I wanted in some games. Now that I've bought a Ryzen 5 3600 I've built a brand new computer and it works like a beast. My current 970 is weak when paired with a 3600. While I'm getting more frames than ever at 70, 80, 90, 100+ in many games, I know I could do a lot more with my GPU upgrade. $200 price tag, do yourself a favor and upgrade your 5 year old CPU. hp If you are planning to buy this processor, also buy the best AIO cooler/cooler. While AMD's stock coolers are much better than Intel's, the Stealth Spire cooler is good, but the 3600 gets very hot. I have a temperature of 50 degrees Celsius when idling and 70 degrees in games. If you're looking to extend the life of your CPU, I suggest getting a cheaper cooler like the Hyper evo 212, or a liquid cooler if that's your preference.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Without insurance
