AMD Ryzen 5 3600 vs AMD Ryzen 7 5800X

It goes for that price. It can go for cheaper, but hey, and on top of that you need a really good cooler. Well, that one comes with this cooler, you k...

B 51.17 CFM CPU Cooler **is fine though I'd go for Noctua or Arctic cooling instead**.

Render time versus the stock are 526 hundreds 5.9 minute results and 18 % decrease in render time stocks and generationally is a major lift where AMD ...

**Updated:** Added which stores i priced these parts from and found the case. Prices and availability might change by the hour though.

It's a decent CPU upgrade from the 3700X. I'm getting roughly +20% more FPS from my games, on average. 5800X3D is a much better alternative, but it's priced at $444 as of this review's writing. 64% more cost for the 5800X3D for about 20% gains in gaming performance over the 5800X is not worth it

So an easy win for the new risin 5 processor, even at 1440p, despite the 9600 K appearing quicker, when looking at the average framerate, the 1 % low ...

The IPC increase on Ryzen 5000 over 3000 series is huge. Over 30% faster. I’ve included pictures of my setup, CPUz info, benchmark results, MSI Afterburner temperature info after playing Witcher 3 at 1440P on Ultra settings for hours, and many other others. The chip boosts high, runs cool, requires basically no knowledge to get max performance from it outside of TWO toggles in the bios, and at its current price is an amazing value imo

Overclocking further to 3733MHz with 1867Mhz Infinity Fabric gave me an additional 10FPS boost. Enabling Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) barely made any difference in my FPS but that could be due to me using a cheap cooler.

Maybe this will be improved with further BIOS updates but for now this seems to be the safest option. *EDIT #2* At time of writing now I have been using this CPU for about 9 months and I have spent a pretty silly amount of time tinkering with settings, optimizing and looking for possible improvements in my cooling/performance solutions. I am no longer running Eco Mode via Ryzen Master. My BEST CASE results are as follows, YMMV: In my MXI X570 BIOS I'm utilizing the following settings found in Advanced AMD Overclocking: Power limits are Manually set: PPT - 142w TDC - 95A EDC - 120 Boost Override - 50mhz Curve Optimizer: Best two Cores NEGATIVE 10 (for me this happens to be core 1 and 7, check in Ryzen Master) All other cores NEGATIVE 25 This gives me my best undervolted temps via the new PBO2 update, 30 minutes of Cinebench R23 Multi peaking @ 78C
