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

I give the CPU 5 stars in itself. Its blazing fast. I put the Ryzen 7 3rd gen in the PC I built for my dad and you can hardly tell a difference.

Online said it didnt come with a cooler. Mines did. Would recommend to anyone. But 3600 is still worth it. Gains are small.

I paid like $300 for it and only received a cooler in the box without a cpu.

great multitasker. runs World Of Tanks on highest graphics settings and streams to twitch without issue. also handles heavy photo editing like a champ. all while not killing the bank account.

Great CPU

I used this in a recent build for someone who is getting into video editing and not able to afford the Ryzen 9 3900X or 3950X. I paired this with an ASUS Crosshair VII X470 Motherboard, and this baby did fly. I think I saw peak core CPU frequency hit 4.6 Ghz. on air, so yes, it cooks fine. Of course this CPU is great for gaming too, or anything else you want to work on. The XT value proposition is debatable, but you do get a little extra bump in speed without the extra bump in heat. If speed equals money on a professional basis, then this is well worth it. This was a fun CPU to check out.

Not very thick I guess...

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.

Pair with high quality ram and its unbeatable value.
