Includes the stock wraith cooler and the cpu is installed before posting for those that are not confident doing it themselves. This cpu and board will be more than enough for 80% of people on this site and 200% of people who love making up statistics to suit there argument.

This is for those of you still on an old i7 4770 or something similar and just want to upgrade. You will need ddr4 ram, but can probably reuse your PSU, hard drive and case and add a gumtree GPU and have a great time knowing that people waiting for an RTX 3080 TI will be waiting a long time as people wanting an RTX 3080 will also be waiting a long time and their GPU has been released.

It also has a M2 slot for those needing the fastest transfer times to their other M2 slot, however it only has one slot so results may be disappointing.

    I take it this doesnt have integrated GPU?

      Correct. Ryzen that have integrated graphics have a g after the number such as Ryzen 5 3400G.

      The 3600 has no integrated version, just x and xt which mean more expensive.

    Why you gotta be hating on the 4770 :(

      My only saving grace is that I’m a slight step above with my 4790k lol
      Trying to hold out till DDR5 is mainstream

        Eh my 4770k is still holding strong, will probably run it until my mainboard gives out

            @InsertCrow: haha i5-2500K here with a second-hand PSU when I assembled it..honestly surprised that nothing has given out yet.

                @Bunnyburger: I upgraded my i7 2600K RX480 based system in Nov 2019, just before the COVID craziness kicked off. Glad I did in hindsight!

          Oh for sure. I mean I noticed some performance differences compared with my mates Ryzen 1600.
          So I think by the time we hit Ryzen 6000 on ddr5, I’ll be well and truly ready for an upgrade.
          Just don’t want to join on to a dead platform (AM4 and DDR4)

            @Rail Rider95: dead platform = good prices though lol, if you're buying straight into ddr5 and ryzen 6000 at launch you on the wrong community website bruv

        I just bottlenecked my amazing 4790k on anno 1800! And then my mobo exploded. Now I'm on Laptop lol. I miss my 4890.boy was it glorious!

    Great price. No USB-C for those that need it.

    Considering the 3600 is $299 on Amazon right now, this seems like a good deal to me. I have 3600 and it seems like a very capable cpu.

    Here's a similar deal, $279, but with a 3300x…

    I'm running an i7-6700K. This isn't much of an upgrade, is it?

    • PhatSunt on 09/03/2021 - 00:47

      not really. this is 6 cores 12 threads verse 4 -8 for the 6700. 3600 is 3.6ghz base and the same boost freq of 4.2 as the 6700. But the 3600 is faster per clock so even know it has the same boost it will have faster single threaded.

      what u want to upgrade for?, if its gaming, save the cash and spend it on getting a higher tier gpu in a few months when theyre in stock, youll get more bang for your buck.
      If its for multithreaded applications then this will be a significant upgrade.

      3600 is also way more efficient so it wont heat up your room as much if that matters, 65watt vs 95watt.

      here's a hardware unboxed video where they compare it against a bunch of cpus, not the 6700k (because its pretty old now),however they use the 7700k, which is faster than yours but the 3600 beats it almost everything still, more so at higher resolutions.

    Im still using an i7 2600k for editing videos up to 4k on resolve. My upgrade path is a 5950x and 3080 so looks like will be waiting a little longer.
