Is it worth it to upgrade from ryzen 3600 to ryzen 5600

z2x1 · 2024-09-09T13:17:07+0100

I am currently running a Ryzen 5 3600, 32gb ddr4 3600MHz and an RX 6600xt. I'm thinking to upgrade the CPU for a 5600, because its around 86 euro in AliExpress and ill probably sell the 3600 for 50 euro.

At those prices i wouldn't even blink, i'd just jump on the deal and that's it. However, check first with your MB manufacturer for compatibility and update BIOS if necessary.

And yes, the difference from a 3600 is tangible.

Best of luck!
