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

I have this processor running on a Gigabyte AORUS X570 Extreme (which is MASSIVELY overkill) and the best I can get out of it is 4.525GHz @ 1.35v all core under full load. This is a win because the stock single core boost clock for my cpu is 4.5GHz so to have all 6 cores (12 threads) running not only at full single core boost speed, but even a little over AND at a lower voltage is awesome.........Ill take that any day. Stock voltage out the box under load was over 1.4 volts. Cooling is a Noctua NH-D15 and at full load during stress test my max package temp is 78C in a room thats 25-26C ambient.

But from my research it was within specs. 50-80C, idle to gaming. Added this fan:

Item came defective we tried everything replace other parts until we found out this product was the issue when we went back to order product again price went up over $80 more horrible not happy

Grandson loves it he is building unit

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.

If it’s compatible this should be all you need.

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

Great cpu

Easy install, great packaging and presentation. I was only looking at the price, and should have gotten 8 or 12 core CPU. Oh well, wait for AMD 4000s or 5000s

Not worth $600
