RYZEN is the Best upgrade for the buck

Appears I won the silicon lottery this time. Installed with no probs on an msi b350m gaming pro motherboard with 16gb Gskills Aegis ram (@3000). the bios has a one button OC and it sets up itself. The core speed hopped to 3.75 with no tweaking and runs at under 90 degrees F with no issues. I Would guess there is a little more headroom if I worked at it but I am plenty happy with this performance.
And at the current used market prices, made no sense not to buy new and get a fresh chip with the heatsink-fan and thermal paste ready to go out of the box. Moving to Ryzen has been one of the best upgrade bang for the buck moves I have made in years. Needing only a mobo and ram to go with my old parts I was soaring for 200 clams, and that with a fairly decent piece of 3d graphics built into the cpu.Read full review...

Great for low power home server

Been using my threadripper workstation as also in house server and the power draw is just too high. Bought this as a low power alternative with a x570 board. Works great for the low cost and energy draw. Have 8 lane sas controller and dual port 10gb network card and a nvme setup no issues. Running proxmox with some virtual machines and about 20 docker setups plus nvr software. Only maxes all 4 cores while starting it all up. Also a great placeholder cpu until I decide to go 12 or 16 core ryzen 3kRead full review...

Perfect for my first build

With GPU prices so high, it's a miracle that you can buy an APU for so cheap. It has excellent performance on every level (it's not a 2080ti combined with an 8 core cpu but for it's price it's much better than expected). I highly recommend it for anyone looking to build an inexpensive all around or gaming PC.Read full review...

Decent budget processor

Runs well, also doubles as a graphics processor for those who are on a tight budget build and can't afford a separate GPU. That said, it's not gonna blow the doors off a modern dedicated CPU, and it also steals 2GB of system memory to run the graphics processing, so beware if running a small amount of RAM.Read full review...

Play Fortnite without GPU

I didn't want to spend more money than a few hundreds for son's gaming pc so I decided to build one for him using Ryzen 3 2200. I was planning to get a modest GPU something like GTX 1050ti or the Radeon comparable. It turns out Ryzen's graphic is good enough to play Fortnite. With just an 8GB Ram, the pc runs really smooth.Read full review...

Fast processor with Vega 8 graphics.

Two builds with this processor. Built mine back in 2009 on the B450 GAMING PRO CARBON AC. Been running great ever since. Bought this one for my daughters build on the B450 GAMING PRO CARBON MAX WIFI for her 11th birthday. Daughters build went smooth & runs great also. Read full review...

Great Value CPU

This APU is a great value. It works quite well with Gamecube and PS2 emulators and indie titles. If you are building a PC for the first time this may be a challenge to get up and running properly. YouTube the installation and BIOS process of this APU frequently when you are building with this APU.Read full review...

Tremendous value - an advanced DIY

Once you get it set up, it runs like a dream. It's amazing what this APU can handle graphically. I don't find myself missing a graphics card at all.

That said, it can be hard to get stable. It's picky when it comes to memory, especially timings.

***Make sure you only buy memory from the pre-approved Ryzen memory list and that you activate your memory XMP profile!***Read full review...

Initially did not post but finally did

Initially installed on new motherboard and memory. Fans came on but it did not post. Pulled the cooler and examined the CPU for bent pins, but did not find any. Removed and replugged in memory and made sure I had 12v on CPU power plug. Powered up and thankfully it did post to UEFI screen. Not sure what the problem was. Have not tried OCRead full review...
