Description
Manufactured with 7nm architecture, the 6 cores of the processor enhance multitasking. AMD SenseMI technology learns and adapts to your daily routine to offer you the true performance of 4 cores in whatever you do. Equipped with an unlocked multiplier, it allows you to push its performance to the limit, increasing the clock speed from 3.6GHz to 4.2GHz.
The processor does not have an integrated graphics card. This means that to have video output, you will need to use an additional discrete graphics card (discrete GPU), which will connect to the system's motherboard via the appropriate slot, such as PCIe (PCI Express).

Great processor for low-end computers. I bought it to build a second computer for basic use and some gaming, it doesn't hesitate at all.

VFM processor, I paired it with a 6650 graphics card for streaming, very good result and with a good cooler, consistently 50-59 temps

I got it at the price of 61 euros, even more value for money compared to the 5600 which is twice the price. Great improvement especially noticeable in applications and games.

Although I bought it at a scandalous price (62€), I have it in my second machine along with an RX 580... in games, it's OK, not perfect, but it's decent to good (in 2023)... it was released in 2019, so it's been a while since its peak! If you find it at a price close to or slightly lower than 70€, it's a good investment for another 2-3 years... everything still plays at a satisfactory level and in combination with fast memory (over 3000 Mhz) DDR4, it performs well... it has a small margin for overclocking (but it's not necessary anyway), otherwise look for the X versions of the corresponding processors! It's a chip that you can put on a basic motherboard and it will perform at its maximum because it's efficient and doesn't increase temperature too much - so it's a foundation for a balanced budget gaming system!

Did you find this review helpful?I bought it for €134, thinking that I got it at a bargain price due to the Zen 2 clearance, but now I see that it has dropped even further. At its current price of around €85, it's even more worth it, and wherever it's still available, look for it.
It's not much different from the newer Zen 3 5600 as it also has 32MB L3 Cache.
It performs very well in games, especially at 60fps, which is what an average user plays. It handles other everyday tasks such as browsing without any problems or lag. It's great!

Did you find this review helpful?It was installed today on a Gigabyte Aorus X470 Ultra Gaming, replacing a Ryzen 5 1600. It was paired with the Arctic MX-4 2019 Edition and I have to say that it is quite stable in its performance, it doesn't increase temperature almost at all. The previous one used to reach temperatures of 65-70 degrees, while now with the same applications and games running, it didn't go above 55 degrees. So far, my system is very stable and it also gave a boost to the RAM, as it provided a bit more speed than their nominal speed.
06/10/2023 I was expecting it to handle the summer with increased temperatures, and the processor really delivered. It performed at its maximum capacity with applications and gaming, with temperatures not exceeding 65 degrees even during heatwaves.Translated from Greek ·- Speed

Did you find this review helpful?After almost 2 years of use, I am writing my review. It's a gaming PC with a Freezer 33 eSports cooler that keeps it always cool (only in the summer it goes up to 50 degrees which is a funny temperature for a CPU), an MX410 case, and an RTX 2060 GPU. The PC plays everything on a full HD monitor with very good resolution/fps. Buy the version without a cooler because the factory one is not good. The 3600 at the price it is now (under 90 euros) is a steal.
On the plus side, it is supported by all AM4 motherboards from old A320 (with a BIOS update) to X570.

Did you find this review helpful?I have had it for 20 months, purchased for €175. Completely satisfied, since it threw away the "something-like-a-cooler" that accompanied it. It works without complaining, even at almost full load, on a 24-hour basis.
I never imagined recommending a three-year-old CPU for purchase, but at €115 today, packaged without a cooler... with my eyes closed, there is no chance you will find something better for this money.Translated from Greek ·- Speed

A very powerful processor from AMD. Amazing for gaming with great performance, excellent for multitasking and very fast even though I have "slow memory" at only 2400MHz, I can say that the beast (Ryzen) doesn't even notice it! I have also tried rendering in DaVinci Resolve and it's very fast there too. I recommend pairing it with a good motherboard and a good air/water cooler, as well as a fast NVMe SSD and your machine will be flying!
The only problem I have is with temperatures... The maximum the Ryzen 5 3600 can handle is 95C. When I stress test my CPU, even though I have an Arctic Freezer eSports Duo, the processor reaches 92-93 degrees. This worries me quite a bit because I have a good cooler, good thermal paste (Arctic MX4), and the installation was done correctly (even twice to make sure I didn't do anything wrong the first time!). I have read that other users have this problem too and I believe that I will find a solution somehow. I will update if I fix my problem.

Very good value for money. The only negative is that it didn't come in its original packaging, even though it was not used, probably just from a foreign mass merchant. Otherwise, it runs as expected.

But with the prices that have skyrocketed, it's better to get an Intel i5 10400f with a more expensive motherboard.Translated from Greek ·- Speed

Very satisfied with its performance and operation. In the rendering I tested, its time was very good (judging intuitively because the previous processor was an old quad-core Xeon) and I am satisfied. Overall, the system runs smoothly without showing signs of fatigue. I can have Civilization, Chrome, Viber, Teams, and Zoom open at the same time (of course with active connections, not standby) without giving me any signs of overload or extreme temperature increase.
I don't use liquid cooling but a Hyper 212 Evo with two Arctic fans on its heatsink. My temperatures range from 32 to 70C under heavy load. I never saw it go above 72.

Flawless processor. Perfect for gaming, it runs everything without any issues. Temperatures range from 25 to 52 degrees (I haven't measured higher even in difficult games), but I use an aftermarket cooler. I went straight for the tray version because I heard everywhere that temperatures rise due to the poor stock cooler that Ryzen has, so I got the Arctic 34 eSports Duo from the beginning. (Which I highly recommend)
