AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT 6-core, 12-threads unlocked desktop processor with Wraith Spire cooler

I have always used Intel for my builds but the wife needed a new computer and didnt want to spend a ton of loot.

nothing else to say, paired with 5700 8gb GPU, COD averages 120 fps, settings at high

My Son wanted a gaming PC instead of a PS 5 so we had a budget to maintain in the build, this processor provided to performance to match the other parts of the build. Works well from my point of view which is cost. Son seems to be happy with the build.

It’s does the job.

When i got this it was 233 u.s. AFTER tax applies. with that being said it was WELL worth what i paid considering the non x/xt versions go for 200/230 daily in most sites.

At this point AMD and Intel have better (newer) options, but this is a solid CPU regardless. I run this with a 2070 super from Nvidia and Ive been able to game on a 1440p ultrawide while streaming a movie on a different screen and having a chat window open on another, and it handles it all with ease. Also use this for video and photo editing and its made my workflow much faster.

Bought this for my first build to replace an old Lenovo K450e, which Ive been using for work and gaming. I decided to go the AMD route after watching a lot of PC-building videos on YouTube. I wasnt disappointed and would recommend this CPU or maybe even a Ryzen 7 or 9, but those are a little pricey.

I was running a Ryzen 5 2600 without issues, but I had promised our grands a gaming computer at grandpas

Ok

Orientation Gold triangle not on Die side as other processors I have bought. It is on the pin side confirming correct placement of pin one. My GA-370 motherboard only allows auto clock speed which is fixed at 3.8 Geg rather than the 4.5.
