  • It is the best processor I have ever bought. I have had it for 3 years and it has never crashed on me. The only relatively negative thing is that the cooler struggles a bit in the summer. This processor is worth its money!!!

    Well, it's a powerful processor and at 165, it's a good price. But the problem is that the temperature rises too much and you have to change the cooler. I have already ordered a Corsair one, which costs an additional 55€

    I put him in a build pc for 700€ as the first processor, and I can say he has satisfied me a lot. I opened several windows, etc. It didn't go above 45 degrees with the AMD cooler and it's worth it!

    Badass processor! Super fast and one of the top rated CPUs for gaming! Some of you might have issues, like experiencing black screens and needing to restart your PC while playing games. This is because the processor is unlocked and can automatically go from 3.6 GHz to 4+ GHz. You'll need to go into the BIOS and disable Core Performance Boost, then set your power plan to balanced in Windows, and the problems will be fixed. Now, if you have a good cooler and a power supply of 650+ watts, you won't have such problems! I highly recommend it!

    He is very powerful for his price and his price is very good, so he remains competitive even in 2021. If the newer Ryzen processors reach his price, then yes, choose them, but with the current prices, there is nothing better for the money.

    The stock cooler is quite good as we did not see high temperatures even during gaming.

    We used him in a build that you can see here: https://youtu.be/wGUKlDr_P-E

    This review is about the packaging: Box

    Owner here for about 1.5 years. First CPU for my first PC BUILD, quite satisfied with its usage and performance, good speeds ranging from 3.6 to 4.2. It is decent for gaming as well as other tasks on the computer. It can handle opening multiple windows without freezing. With the stock cooler, I had temperature issues while gaming, reaching 80 degrees and around 50 degrees at idle. That's why I gifted it a NZXT KRAKEN liquid cooler and it leveled up. Now it consistently stays at 33 degrees at idle and goes up to a maximum of 55 degrees under heavy load while gaming. A good CPU for the price it is offered in the market.

    This review is about the packaging: Box

    Very good processor does not freeze anywhere, nevertheless it is not worth buying it at this time, 1000 times better to go for the 3600 with +10€ since it is zen 2 and is supported by newer motherboards so you can upgrade if you want.
    As for the temperatures now, I am not satisfied, in idle it does not go below 44 and in full it reaches close to 80, of course with a different cooler it will definitely decrease significantly but why not with the stock one?
    Clearly they intentionally put weak coolers on many processors to sell.

    This review is about the packaging: Box

    I have had it for 1 year and it was purchased at the price of €120. For this money, it is perfect for mid-range gaming, running many games smoothly, and I have paired it with a 1660ti. Of course, at this price, I would think twice about getting it, especially with the existence of the 3600 and the 5600.

    5/11/2021 EDIT: FAR the worst thing I have ever held in my hands!
    The first year everything was fine, but now it easily reaches 60 degrees in idle and never goes below 90 in games!
    Initially, I thought it was the stock cooler and that the thermal paste was the issue, so I replaced it with the Arctic MX-5, but the difference was minimal (1-2 degrees). Then I thought maybe the stock cooler was the problem, so I switched to a bequiet pure rock 2 slim, but I didn't see any difference. Besides that, I constantly experience unexpected bluescreens, which is the most annoying part. Finally, it keeps crashing out of programs constantly!

    This review is about the packaging: Box

    I can say that the reviews tempted me to get it in the end. The stock cooler is terrible. It reaches temperatures of 70+ during games. Also, when I close a game in the safest way possible, there is a chance that the processor's temperature will rise so much that the PC restarts. If you get a different cooler, it might be worth it. It definitely isn't worth the money. I really regret buying it. The only good thing about the processor is that when its temperature reaches 90+, it automatically shuts down to prevent the whole PC from burning. I have already taken it out and thrown it away. Now I have the Ryzen 7

    This review is about the packaging: Box

    The processor in the specifications states that it is at 3.6ghz with a maximum frequency of 4.2ghz. I don't know if I have a faulty chip, but mine only reaches 4.2 when idle. In any task, even in stress tests, it doesn't go above 4 - 4.05 and it even reaches that with 1.4v. When I try to overclock it to 4.2 with automatic settings through Ryzen Master to avoid losing the warranty, it crashes during stress tests. I can't understand it. I didn't recommend it at all, especially at the price it has now. Even the stones cry at 160€.

    I have put him in a 750 euro pc build with a decent graphics card and a relatively good motherboard. I have no temperature issues... I can have countless windows open and it doesn't lag for a second. The maximum temperature I have reached after 5 hours of continuous gaming is 43 degrees.

    Skylar doesn't stick anywhere. The only issue is the temperatures, but it's justified because I have a case with very poor airflow and the stock cooler. These days, I will have a case with very good airflow and liquid cooling installed on it, I believe the temperature will drop significantly!

    This review is about the packaging: Box

    Just the best I could buy on a very budget gaming pc, I combined it with an MSI GTX 1050ti and it's just flawless. I bought it during Black Friday and I was amazed by its price. I believe it would still be worth it even without a discount. Now, for anyone who needs a budget computer, I wouldn't recommend it because currently all prices are sky-high and there is no availability. I would suggest waiting for about 2 months when prices will have dropped and then do some research again for a computer. If the price of the 3600, which is the next one, drops, I would confidently recommend that one, unless it falls below 160-190€, then without hesitation, go for the 2600x

    It simply rocks...

    You give a small amount of money (compared to the equivalent Intel processors) and you get multiple times the value.

    I have had it for about 1 month and I am completely satisfied so far.

    I paired it with a Gigabyte Aorus Elite B550 motherboard, 16GB of RAM, and it works exceptionally well.

    If it had integrated graphics, it would be the best processor in the mid-range category.

    The absolutely vfm processor at its price! I think it has no rival (always at this price)
    With an rx 56 vega 4k gaming normally and by law...
    If you find it available, just take it. Next choice is the 3600 but I see it increased in price.

    I ran the 2600X for about 6 months.
    Perfect temperatures. Rarely above 60 with a 40€ cooler.
    No issues with multitasking or gaming.

    Some parts may experience temperature fluctuations when idle, regardless of cooling quality. It is not a problem.

    This review is about the packaging: Box

    I'm trying to understand what's happening with the processor temperatures. When it starts up, it reaches around 70-80 degrees (then drops to 45 and keeps going up and down constantly), but after heavy use like 3D modeling and rendering, it doesn't go above 85 degrees, nor does it seem to struggle anywhere. I asked because I've never been an AMD user before, especially not with Ryzen, and they told me it's nothing to worry about. Despite that, I'll try a different thermal paste and if there's still an issue, I'll change the included cooler. Apart from that, it's a capable processor for its price.
