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

Easy install, great packaging and presentation. I was only looking at the price, and should have gotten 8 or 12 core CPU. Oh well, wait for AMD 4000s or 5000s

My son built a computer. He set goals to earn each piece. When the computer was built it would not work. We had to hire a computer tech guy to figure out why. It was this CPU!! Trying to get a refund... I get no response. Don’t order from this vendor. They don’t stand by their product!

If it’s compatible this should be all you need.

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.

No Idea why warmth and thickness is a rating but whatever, bought this because I couldn’t find a 3600, thus I bought this. Great but will thermally soak most coolers on the market, buy a decent cooler or aio and it will work great.

Runs great in ASUS B550 board. Temps are good with stock AMD cpu cooler.

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.

Buen rendimiento en la mayoria de juegos

Good price as always for AMD but the included CPU is not going to be handle over locking by very much. I would strongly consider buying a better cooler when you order this and save the stock cooler, Wraith Spire, as a backup. My idle temp were often time in the high 50C and seen several times low 80s under load.

But from my research it was within specs. 50-80C, idle to gaming. Added this fan:
