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

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.

I was originally shopping for a 3600 or 3600X, but the supply dried up by the time I was buying my parts. However, I think I ended up lucking out because I got the 3600 XT for less than the $249 MSRP. The reviews Ive seen have been a bit mixed about the cpu, but I think its a great sweet spot giving you enough cores for good productivity work and great single core boost to support gaming and other single threaded / spikey tasks. Theres also a lot of overclocking potential with this cpu. I have mine stable at 4.4 GHz, but I think I can probably get it up to 4.5 GHZ with a bit more tinkering. My motherboard (MSI Gaming Plus) is not ideal for OC either. The cpu itself is a great overlocker and lots of folks are comfortably running this at 4.6 GHz with relatively low voltage. If you can get this on a good sale and arent looking for the latest 5000 series cpus, then I would recommend grabbing this one. Its a fantastic cpu that I would use again in future builds.

Works great for all the applications I use with it, including various 3d modelling suites and productivity software along with game testing.

Just got my order, and again, what do you know? The cpu is missing which means someone ordered it and returned it but stole the CPU. Nice.

Best deal for AMD CPU

Decided to upgrade a 10 year old build

Best cpu for the money imo.

Na

The AMD 5600X I can not get. This CPU is just as fast!

Price was right when purchased and g/f is enjoying.
