Model overview based on user reviews  
The AMD Ryzen 5 Matisse series, including models like the 3600, 3600X, and 3500X, is highly praised for its excellent price-to-performance ratio, making it a popular choice for both gaming and productivity tasks. Users appreciate its 6-core, 12-thread configuration, which provides strong performance in various applications. The processors are noted for their cool operation under normal conditions, though some users recommend upgrading the stock cooler for better thermal management, especially during overclocking. The 7nm process technology contributes to its efficiency, although some users report temperature fluctuations. The series is also recognized for its compatibility with affordable motherboards and support for high RAM frequencies. While some users have experienced issues with the memory controller and cooling, the overall consensus is that the Ryzen 5 Matisse offers great value for its price, particularly for those upgrading from older platforms. However, potential buyers are advised to consider current pricing and alternatives like the Ryzen 5600X for future-proofing.

cool percentage for a mid-budget PC, they gave it to me but I would have gotten something better

Listen, as a person who fumbles for the coders, I’ll say don’t install a boxed cooler, apply thermal paste as you like (but in moderation), buy normal coolers, and look at the guides for installing components, otherwise you’ll be angry like others in the comments like it burned out and so on, lol defects happen everywhere buy from time-tested or trusted stores and read good comments like mine.
It overclocks, doesn’t get very hot (which is not new), top clock speed, 6 cores 6 threads, the average price tag on the processor market was bought for 10 k. rub.
nothing, I'm serious.

To avoid confusion: Review of Ryzen 3500 OEM.
I always considered the reduction of the process technology as an axiom leading to less heat. But not in the case of 7 nm.
I was replacing my 4-core core i5 3470. Expected a growth of 40-60%. Got x2.25 (+125% in 3dMark physics tests).
However, the processor is new, and you need to periodically update software and drivers. Some of my applications still cannot track temperature due to outdated software.
Motherboard on chipset B450. No BIOS issues.
Only OEM version. Warranty 12 months, instead of 36 months on the BOX version from a competitor.
Fast, even exceeded expectations.
Cheaper by 1000 RUB than i5 9400f at comparable power (purchased for 8624 RUB).
7 nm process technology, 65 W thermal package.
40 degrees at idle, 50-60 in games.
7 nm process technology - temperature fluctuations, according to reviews and feedback on forums, a large cooler will not help much as there is a small heat dissipation area, the chip heats up quickly, but not critically. Since there is no proper heat dissipation - it is better not to overclock at all.

Passed from platform 1155 (xeon e3-1235), system performance - heaven and earth. I took the ASUS Prime B450M-K II motherboard and the 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX (3200 MHz) kit. Truly a people's processor in terms of price / quality ratio. According to tests in games, it is at the level of 5500. For home purposes, it is enough for the eyes even without overclocking. Bios did not need to be updated.
Productivity in the price / quality ratio; cheap motherboards for AM4; without overclocking with good cooling, it practically does not heat up
After the old e3-1235 (i7-2600) just heaven and earth, no flaws

People's favorite

AMD Ryzen 5 3500 is a new low-cost gaming and work processor that has caught up and even outperformed the competing Core i5-9400F. It has six physical cores of the latest Zen 2 architecture without SMT multithreading and 16 MB L3 cache (only 9 MB for the i5-9400F). And the Ryzen 5 3500X, which is currently only sold in China, has an even more capacious cache — as much as 32 MB.

Acceleration manual and automatic

The frequency formula of the Ryzen 5 3500, like the 3500X, is 3.6 – 4.1 GHz (base frequency and Precision Boost on one core, respectively). With a parallel load on all cores, the processor usually operates at a frequency of 3.9 GHz. And by manual overclocking, if you're lucky with a successful copy of the chip, you can boost the frequency up to 4.2 GHz.

Gamers Approve

Traditionally for Ryzen processors, regardless of generation, memory bandwidth plays an important role. Therefore, it will not be superfluous to get a kit of RAM with a higher frequency, since Matisse chips on X570 motherboards conquer the frequency with a 1: 1 synchronous bus up to 3600 MHz. In most games, the six-core Ryzen 5 3500 performs roughly on par with the more expensive twelve-thread Ryzen 5 3600. The only exceptions are Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Watch Dogs 2, which can load at least 32 threads.

Upgrade potential

Also, parity is observed in streaming, recording let's plays and video editing, because in this case the main part of the load falls on a discrete graphics card. Perhaps the only daunting task for the non-threaded Ryzen 5 3500 is professional 3D modeling in 3Ds Maximum But even a 12-thread 3600 is rather weak for it, you need at least a 16-thread 3700X/3800X, or better a flagship 3950X with 16 cores and 32 threads. Fortunately, you can spend the first time on the low-cost Ryzen 5 3500, and then upgrade to a more powerful processor without replacing the motherboard.
