AMD Ryzen 5 3600 vs Intel Core i7-12700K

Take some time for them to drop also like yeah. This is one of the biggest reasons, and the second biggest reason is the: the price itself is for arou...

today. We've already reviewed the 12 900k, the 12 600k. Now we're coming in with the Cpu that slots in right between those two in terms of price and t...

This time we climb to 273 FPS average with SMT off and stock clocks, it's possible that disabling hyper threading would give a slight boost to many of...

This is all very good news, but it doesn't offer make my review of the Core I7 12700k slightly complicated. Happily, having given you that preamble, w...

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.

I've had this overclocked at 5.0 GHz for a couple weeks now and it hasn't skipped a beat. I bought an MSI Z690 MPG Edge Motherboard to pair with this beast of a chip. Keep in mind, it does NOT come with a cooler so make sure you have a reputable thermal paste and a solid cooler to pair with this

Because Amazon likes combining reviews for different products: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core, 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler (I'll stop doing this when Amazon stops combining reviews for unrelated products) Disclaimer: I am NOT a PC gamer. I did not get this CPU for gaming, so I don't bother with overclocking. I bought it because I needed a CPU for my new motherboard and the price was good. Installation was easy

If you have a Corsair H100I RGB Platinum or similar cooler already: The included 1200 screws work just fine with the 1700 socket and this CPU, even though you are supposed to get the 1700 kit/screws for this CPU (Which I did, but they are taking FOREVER to ship, so I googled, and someone said using the 1200 screws will work just fine). I get better temps. than my Ryzen 7 1700. I can even overclock EVEN MORE but have no need, and no point

Since tests showed that the 3600 delivers the same performance as the 5600X in 4K gaming, I went with the 3600.

As for the motherboards, I've again gone with the Msi, Z690, Tomahawk Wi-fi Ddr4 for testing the 12th Gen Core series processors in this review. Now, ...

Ok, when looking at the average framerate, not a massive difference, but again this isn't a great title for the rise in CPUs. We find similar results ...

This design philosophy aids the kind of design we've seen in mobile chip architectures for a long time now where you sometimes want very efficient cor...

Unforunately I'm not sure how I can go about reducing these at this point. I have 6 case fans plus the stock AMD cooler fitted. I don't overclock anything and I'm aiming for 1080p on high settings which on any other game is perfectly manageable but Cyberpunk. I'm aware its a graphic heavy game and its definitely going to push my card but even running all the settings on low it was still hitting these temperatures and giving me the same result with no improvements

2) This CPU does consume a lot more power compared to its predecessor. Double check if your PSU will be enough. There are online resources that will help you calculate your PSU. It's always good to have a little overhead
