Great aussie review on the 3600 and 3600x cpu, in case you are looking for an upgrade like me.



Addition 09/07/2019 more informative review of the 3600: If you want to skip to the end for the reviewers comments, then go to 27:00 ..

Another great review of the Ryzen 5 3600x vs i7-8700K (the reviewer is very good): if you want to skip to the testing, then go to 10:45

The 3600X comes with a decent cooler though, people are saying you should swap out the 3600 one. Can you OC the 3600 to the 3600X level? What does that do for power consumption? Does the 3600X have better silicon? I'm wondering which to buy.

Something to do with the 3600x's cooler having a copper core and the 3600 only having an aluminium one.
 
He's just picked a list of his favourite coolers, no testing done so worthless IMHO. I would like to see some proper cooler testing done with Ryzen 3000 CPUs as now the main heat source is no longer in the centre of the chip this may affect cooler effectiveness i.e. some coolers like Thermalrights Macho range have convex base plates designed to take heat away from the centre of the CPU, so they may not be such a good purchase for the new Ryzens.


I disagree!

Did you even look to see if any reviews agreed with these findings or did you just object to the listing? Try looking first next time before replying to a post.

One can easily look here and enter the item in question (I chose the Ryzen 3600) and have listed a number of very good items to have with them: https://premiumbuilds.com/ , https://premiumbuilds.com/?s=ryzen+5+3600 .
