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.

Ryzen 5 3600 - the first door to upgrade from older platforms)
30 June 2023 
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

Decent budget CPU, cool enough

I bought the OEM version in August 2020, installed an almost new CROWN MICRO CM-4 on top, for 900 rubles at the time of purchase (set it and forget it). Almost new, because I bought it half a year earlier, for old hardware on AM2. As a result, the maximum I saw was 75 degrees, and then at its peak. Usually 65
Very cool and quite efficient
The price has gone up... I bought it for 11 thousand rubles.

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.

Optimal price-performance ratio

The Ryzen 5 3600 is the youngest 12-thread processor from the AMD Matisse family and was one of the first mainstream chips built using the 7nm process technology. It is built on the basis of six physical cores of the Zen 2 architecture, supports SMT virtual multithreading and is friendly with automatic overclocking. And the volume of its third-level cache memory reaches a little, quite a lot, as much as 32 MB! Not surprisingly, after 2 years since its birth, the Matisse 3600 remains one of the most interesting options for mid-range gaming builds with a smart, but not flagship graphics card.

Perfect for mid-range gaming and work builds

We are talking about models of video cards up to the RTX 2070 or RTX 3060 level, which provide the coveted 60 FPS at high or maximum graphics settings at resolutions up to 2K. Moreover, the efficiency in games will depend on the graphics card and the level of optimization in the game itself, the Ryzen 5 3600 will definitely not become a bottleneck. And not for games, this is quite a worthy option, since it was in the third generation of Ryzen that AMD engineers were able to achieve optimal performance in multi-threaded mode. Plus, this model has good overclocking - automatic boost can raise the core frequency from 3.6 GHz to 4.2 GHz, with manual overclocking, you can easily get a stable 4.4 GHz. However for all these manipulations you need a suitable motherboard with good power stabilization. It can be either a mid-range model based on the B550 chip or an A-class variant based on the X570 chipset.

Excellent multithreading performance

AMD Ryzen 5 Matisse 3600 MPK is also optimal in terms of price. Ryzen chips do not need extra advertising, therefore, against the backdrop of a shortage of semiconductors, prices have seriously jumped and even for the old Ryzen 2600 they are now asking for much more than they should. Unlike him, our today's hero has practically not risen in price and costs the same 200-odd dollars as 2 years ago. For a 12-thread chip with SMT, free multiplier, and good cache headroom, this is a great price. In addition, a modified version of the Wraith Stealth cooler is included with the processor. The old spinner did a poor job of overclocking chip chips.
