AMD Ryzen 5 3600

Advantages: Fast on dry data. Build on a budget MSI B350 Tomahawk (a board with a very mediocre power supply). DDR4 on Hynix-AFR chips overclocked to 3800MHZ FCLK 1900 using a calculator and a one-to-one divider. The percentage took 4400MHZ across all cores at 1.250 volts, but when running Prime95 it is stable and adequate in temperature at 4300MHZ at 1.2000v. 10th Windows with all the latest updates. Cooler from Noctua NH-U12A. Fresh, at the time of this writing, drivers and a stripped-down BIOS (Click Beta Bios). The processor started up on the motherboard without dancing with tambourines. The performance gain from the previous processor (R5 1600) is about 25 percent, which is very noticeable in games and rendering. The percent is hot, but considering that it is overclocked. With the same performance as the R5, the 1600 will be icy, so you can adjust the temperature / performance ratio to suit you. I also checked the effect of memory overclocking on performance - from 3200MHZ XMP to 3800 using the calculator, the gain was more than 15 percent. The stress temperature of Aida64 for the entire system together with a video card in a case with 5 fans and 2 on a cooler averaged 68 degrees. Primary performance measurements: Assassin`s Creed Origins 13100 (maximum settings, but 50 percent rendering. Test without focusing on the video card) Assassin`s Creed Origins 11400 (1920 by 1080, maximum settings) Cinebench R20 3981 points

Disadvantages: No flaws. There is an architectural feature that is good to know. Putting it in and forgetting will not work very well here, you need to play a little with the pens so that everything is completely fine. Details are added in the comment.

Comment: There was a lot of conflicting data that the processor is hot like infernal heat, they talked about incompatibility of components ... In my opinion, it turned out to be an excellent processor that covers 90 percent of the user's PC needs. A very important point - the VRM of the motherboard does not heat up at all ... I didn’t believe the monitoring indicators, opened the case cover, touched the motherboard with my hand, where it hurt before - it’s barely warm there, which is simply excellent! Temperature 40 degrees by sensors. In the stock of percentages, in my case, using is a stupid topic. "Insert and forget" does not work here, because the processor voltage is prohibitively high, which is completely unjustified, and, accordingly, the cooler starts to go crazy from temperatures. After disabling PBO, clamping the voltage at 1.250, setting 4400 across all cores and manually adjusting the fan curve, the system works fabulous. After a couple of days of fiddling with overclocking: I noticed that after resetting the BIOS to the default settings, the fans do not make as much noise as when the processor is first started. There is a suspicion that initially the wood on the chipset was not up to the end, now the voltages do not jump to 1.450, which leads to the conclusion that the story with "insert and forget" may be quite appropriate here, but if there is an opportunity to overclock, it is better to do it , the profit is tangible. A week later: We managed to stabilize the processor at 4300mhz at 1.2000v and LLC2, the memory started up at 3800mhz 1900 FCLK at 1.45v and LLC2 with 16-18-19-19-40 and compressed secondary timings for these chips (HYNIX-AFR) the result is excellent. 53000 reads, 65 ns latency. Stability was tested for 8 hours in Prime95 in custom mode with memory and processor stress.4400mhz for the CPU to take, in my case, is pointless, it was not possible to stabilize the system at this frequency, because the voltage is 1.3000 volts, the temperatures are higher than permissible, so I stopped at 4300. UPD: Still, this memory works no higher than 3600. 3800 prime 9 hours do not pass.

Advantages: The combination of price and quality. An excellent gaming processor for relatively little money. Doesn't require expensive cooling. Easy to chase. Supported on old mothers AM4.

Disadvantages: No.

Comment: With the processor itself, everything is great. Before him stood R5 2600. concluded that he had changed in vain. + 10 percent productivity with an additional payment of 8,000 rubles. I think that the game is not worth the candle. If you assemble from scratch, then this processor would definitely recommend for purchase. If you change the previous generation, then no.

Advantages: Excellent performance. 4.125 on all cores out of the box. Cold stone. 6 cores / 12 threads, which is currently the unspoken minimum. Games paired with 1070 fly at maximum speed. Significant performance gain relative to zen and zen + In games it is not inferior to the 2700x and in many tasks. 35MB cache. Works on old motherboards based on b350

Disadvantages: Already overclocked to the maximum from the factory, in terms of price / performance ratio, buying a 3600X makes no sense, especially with a price difference of about 5k. Retail prices in our stores leave much to be desired. After some time, prices will decline, so I advise you to wait for the rush to decline. Since the maximum TPP has almost been squeezed out of the processor, there are still not specified 65, so they could have crammed the complete cooler more interestingly, but thanks for that. It will work, you can play, but without heavy tasks. While the bios is liquid.

Comment: 3600 Box, MSI Tomahawk b450, 16gb Corsair 3200mhz, Asus cerberus 1070ti. I got 3600 by accident, I myself have risen zen + 2700 (without X) after comparing the two processors, I was pleasantly surprised, 3600 bypassed 2700 in games by about 20 percent and in some even by 30, after which I decided to keep the new 3600. Inexpensive cooler gammaxx 300 copes with it easily. In general, at the moment he has no competitor. Prots really came out very suitable and even being a relatively budget segment will find its fans both among gamers and among streamers and just people with work needs. I advise you to buy.

Advantages: That feeling when in Folch 4 with 200+ mods you are standing in the center of Boston and you finally have 60+ fps, and flying on a turntable over the city does not turn into a slide show. Before that, there was the legendary i7 2600k percents in conjunction with 1080. The increase in games (depending on the engine) is 20-30 fps. For example, the benchmark of the first Division.

Disadvantages: They are not available for such a price-quality ratio.

Comment: Of course, I do not recommend installing a box cooler. In the stress test, my temperature rose to 80 degrees. I put in an ordinary, inexpensive tower with good thermal paste and, as a result, 62 degrees at the peak, but just in games the peak is 56 degrees. The most important thing is not to get fooled by the nonsense that is written on the forums, they say, high voltages on the process in auto mode! It is advised to manually set up to 1.35. DO NOT do this, as this will result in a severe drop in performance. All that needs to be done is to set the power supply mode "AMD Raisen balanced" in Windows and monitor the voltage only with the CPU-Z program! And you will see that in idle voltages drop right down to 0.5. During the stress test, the voltage is kept at just 1.37! When you use programs like "Command Center MSI", they constantly access the processor and it does not go into idle mode.There is a large interview with an AMD employee on this topic on the Internet, where, if you translate his diplomatic statement, he says that they are still specialists, unlike sofa experts, and they know what high-tech product they are producing and warned about the above.

Advantages: High performance, inexpensive and cool processor.

Disadvantages: Bad cooler included.

Comment: I switched to this processor with intel i5 7500, quite a noticeable increase in the speed of work, with the cooling of the gammax 300 in the AIDA 64 stress test, it heats up to 61 degrees. Probably the most successful processor in terms of price / quality at the moment.

Advantages: Decent performance for your money. 6 cores / 12 threads, large cache. Faster than more expensive Intel 9600k, 8700k processors in many benchmarks and computational workloads. In games, the lag is within 5-20%. In terms of aggregate performance, taking into account the cost (12,794 rubles for the OEM version at the beginning of August 2019), this is the best choice.

Disadvantages: SuperPI performance is lower and memory latency is higher than Intel's Core I7-4790k processor from 2014. Perhaps for some it is critical.

Comment: Uploaded in a home PC with Intel Core i7-4790k to AMD Ryzen 5 3600. The processor is powered by MSI X570-A PRO motherboard with 32Gb DDR4 3333MHz Kingston HyperX Predator (HX433C16PB3K2 / 32) (2x16 KIT) memory and Zalman CNPS9X Optima cooler. Installed the OS and Office 2013 - the PC has been working stably for several days. I do not plan to overclock the processor, so I do not give an estimate for overclocking. I chose the motherboard (lm) according to the criterion of maximum compatibility with the processor and memory. MSI says it has tested over 1200 memory modules for compatibility with the new X570 chipset. At first I thought to take m.p. on chipsets B450-X470, reviewed a large amount of material on m.p. on these chipsets, almost already decided to buy ASUS ROG STRIX B450-E GAMING (top-end m.p. on chipset B450), but the need to spend time and money on flashing the BIOS (you need to have / buy an old processor or go somewhere and pay money for updating the BIOS) stopped from buying MP on the B450-X470. In addition, there is a risk that, in 2020, with the release of the ZEN 3 architecture (4th generation RYZEN), old m.p. will not work with them, which will close the ability to replace the processor without changing the MP.

Advantages: I liked everything, especially after fx 6300. The cooler is normal, quiet, why is everyone scolding him?

Disadvantages: No negative

Comment: I took it only because of the bonuses and the price for boxing was in the oem retail area, but with the bonuses it turned out even cheaper, while everyone is happy, the guarantee is only .... If something happens I can't imagine how and what. CDEK delivery was very fast, less than a week.

Advantages: Significant performance gains over my previous ryzen 1600, both in new games, and especially in old single-threaded games like stalker.

Comment: Works fine with msi b350 pc mate

Advantages: Top performance in stock.

Disadvantages: No.

Comment: Updated from i7 3770. Took the mother of msi b450-a pro under it. I did not overclock, when PBO is on, it keeps stable 4 GHz.Performance has noticeably increased even just in the system, microfreezes have disappeared in games, the fremrate has become absolutely smooth, beautiful. I will add. Updated to the latest BIOS on 1.0.0.3abba, left the processor in standard modes. Temperatures and frequencies have stabilized (in the browser the frequency is 3.6 in games 4.1-4.2). So on the latest version, you can not go into the BIOS at all: D except that the XMP RAM profile is turned on

Advantages: Real performance gain per core after previous series. As an example, I can cite the XMRIG CPU miner. The top 2700x had 700 hashes, and the 3600 had as many as 800, although it had 4 fewer threads and 40 watts less heat dissipation. Temperature with Gammax 400 in stress is about 70-75 C, in games - no more than 60 C. In simple and low-demanding tasks - 45-55 C. Of course, the difference can be seen with the previous risens only in the most demanding applications. It is essentially idle in undemanding applications and games. For example, in Overwatch, the percentage is loaded no more than 25%. I don’t see much point in switching even from 1700 Reisen to this one. Only if you successfully sell one. I would still consider this an evolution of Reisen, although very successful, but not a revolution.

Disadvantages: - Easy overpayment for novelty. - The need to update the BIOS on old chipsets. - Most likely will be idle in your daily tasks by more than 70%. - Practically does not chase. Turboboost is already making the most of it.

Comment: I advise you to buy for those who assemble a computer in 2019. There is still no big sense to switch from old 6-8 nuclear Raisens of 1-2 generations. On Avito, they began to massively sell used 1600/2600, 1700/2700 with a big discount. If you want to save money, then completely take past generations. 2600 for 7-8 thousand will not be much worse, but 40% cheaper. I don't see any point in taking the 3600X (X). Overpayment for air. Better to add and buy 8 cores.
