Solid processor, this thing does wonders for video production and editing.
This causes heavy fan ramp and may trick your temps into thinking they are higher than they really are.
Not only does this cpu absolutely blow intel's current line-up out of the water, it also has the product quality to show for it.
Price
The most bang for your buck without breaking the bank when it comes to building a content creation/gaming pc.
If you are willing to pay more than $200 for a cpu (but less than $500) this really hits the sweet spot for price/performance.
(it was just under $300 when i bought it.
If your mainly a gamer, buy the 3600x and save $90.

The only problem i am facing is that i am getting above average temps with the stock cooler even after i changed the stock thermal paste which is supposedly not the best when compared to aftermarket ones
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Other than the unusual problem that i am facing its a great product to have in your midrange build for both rendering and gaming🙂i would recommend to go for the ryzen 5 5600x or an intel cpu like i510600k if your only going to game but you would have to keep in mind your definitely going to spend another few bucks on a cooler because a wraith stealth cooler and specially an intel stock cooler or should i say an intel stock heater wont be good enough to cool your cpu

Be sure to set a custom fan curve in your bios to mitigate the impact of this feature as the ramp up is really annoying if left to its ways
