AMD Ryzen 5 3600 vs Noctua NH-D15

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...

I am not happy about buying an additional fan at $32 before tax and shipping. I think I should get a rebate for the $32 extra.

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...

So my first test to see how it would perform was with Autodesk 3DS Max. I fired up one of my render scenes. Previously running a HD render of a simulated model would make the H60 scream. I fired off my first render and watched the temps and kept an ear out for increase in sound and cooler load to the fans

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.

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

Same here after my Corsair H100i started failing at one year. Got a Noctua NH-D15 and not only is it outperforming the Corsair, it is much quieter.

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

Noctua NH-D15 works awesome on this CPU. No need for AIO - I had a 8700k - NH-D15, and upgraded to the 12900k - NH-D15.. I probably wont do an AIO again

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 ...

SO, starting later today I'm going to try out the infamously glitched game Kingdom Come: Deliverfance to feel for the heat difference, and I do believe Fallout 4 and GTA5 are in order as well. If after all that it has becoming apparent that your product is great at it's job I'll consider it $90 well spent, a nice thumbing of the nose to the liquid cooler-obsessed, and I'll also up your score from 4 to 5. Well, look at what I did again.

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

I started this approach with the MSI MPG x570 Gaming Plus Wifi after breaking everything down and removing it from the case. What I discovered when putting it back into the Zalman X3, was it was very difficult to get it back in and then to screw back down the motherboard. That wasn't the worse part as that occurred with reconnecting the power connectors -especially the cpu connectors located at the top of the board. The cpu connectors at the top left of the board on the MSI were located right against the cooler fins and because of the narrow space between the fins and the top of the case, I struggled trying to get the connectors set, cutting my knuckles against the sharp fins while attempting this (there is some blood stains on the fins now
