Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Just got my 3600X today, and this thing is a beast. Putting it under a H115i keeps it cool enough to hit 4.2Ghz at just 1.35v. I am coming from a 2600(non-X), and this is leaps and bounds ahead of the old processor. I would recommend that you stick with a X470 or B450 board unless you really need PCIe gen 4.0 or any of the other extras X570 offers. With the lower power draw than last generation, it should have no problem on most X470 and B450 boards. Most if not all need to have their BIOS flashed/updated to run Ryzen 3000, so make an informed decision on whether you need to borrow an older chip or find a board that can update without a CPU. I fully and 100% recommend this CPU and believe anyone will be happy with it in both gaming and workflows. As always, make an informed decision based off other users and reviews to make sure this is the best choice for you!
