So far this cpu has been great

I have always used Intel for my builds but the wife needed a new computer and didnt want to spend a ton of loot.

I replaced a 3600x with this bad boy and now my encoding time has decreased. Everything runs at better frames than before. Love the chip

I paid like $300 for it and only received a cooler in the box without a cpu.

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.

I have this processor running on a Gigabyte AORUS X570 Extreme (which is MASSIVELY overkill) and the best I can get out of it is 4.525GHz @ 1.35v all core under full load. This is a win because the stock single core boost clock for my cpu is 4.5GHz so to have all 6 cores (12 threads) running not only at full single core boost speed, but even a little over AND at a lower voltage is awesome.........Ill take that any day. Stock voltage out the box under load was over 1.4 volts. Cooling is a Noctua NH-D15 and at full load during stress test my max package temp is 78C in a room thats 25-26C ambient.

Very gud
