Review on Unleash High-Performance with AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT Processor & Wraith Spire Cooler by Kio Wolkzbin ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great value for money, one of the best offers.

When there was a choice between an R5 2600 / LGA2022v3 thread and a Xeon / R5 3600 thread, I deliberated about it for a considerable amount of time, but in the end, I decided to go with the 3600 because: 1. Efficiency on an individual core (yes, toys). 2. The life expectancy of the platform is still at least one generation (Zen 3). 3. The price is not out of the question. 4. A brand-new piece of iron that comes with a warranty and everything. If you want to get the most out of the R5 3600, you will need to overclock not only the processor but also the memory. This is something I want to confirm for you and warn you about at the same time. You won't be able to make significant cost reductions in two areas as a direct result of this: mother and memory. As a result, I decided to go with the entry-level MSI X570-A Pro and the HyperX KHX3333C16D4 2x8Gb memory. Why they, well, everything is straightforward, then where I initially aimed (Asus B450 TUF pro and Crucial BallistiX Sport) were either bought up or the price was improperly raised. Did it get much worse? I don't think so, particularly considering that the X570 itself is not a terrible thing to have. A mother who has a nutrition that is considered to be average in this sector naturally has an easy time holding 3600. Because of the remarkable MSI BIOS, the processor can run at 4.4 GHz at 1.2 volts without hammering even when the temperature is 85 degrees Celsius. This took approximately three days to accomplish in total (Dark Rock 4). Memory operates at a frequency of 3800 MHz and has timings of 16-19 at 1.1V SoC and 1.39V voltage. It is important to keep in mind that when overclocking memory, a divider is activated above 3600, which results in a decrease in performance. Because of this, the Infinity Fabric frequency needs to be leveled with DDR and set to V SoC in 99% of cases. Prime95 does not pass the CPU tests, but everything else from OCCT/TM5 to 3DMark works flawlessly; about games, there is nothing to comment on. Is it worthwhile, for the purpose of formal synthetics, to reduce the "free" performance or to increase the voltage, both of which will certainly lead to an increase in temperature? I responded with self-assurance that the answer was not since, in practice, the system works quite reliably and there is "not a single gap," as they say. The percentage, in general, met all of the expectations, and it is sufficient for 1080ti. All of the games were dragged. I believe that this configuration will remain in use undisturbed for the next two to three years, after which it will very certainly be replaced by an older Ryzen 4th generation system just as the price for that system reduces. Amude is happy.

Pros
  • Price/Performance Clean platform with room for expansion and improvement
Cons
  • In auto mode, we eliminated 4.3 GHz. The boxed cooler is useless, take the OEM.
