It is not meant for any overclocking for sure and should keep up with a 65W TDP chip.

Oh yes, the stock cooler is good enough when the 3600 is at stock speeds. But because AMD auto overclocks, if any AAA title so much as bats an eyelid at the 3600, the cpu temp soars. :s13:


My friend recommended me getting noctua, do you think any of them might be able to fit in my case? Like cpu cooler

Noctua coolers are expensive and massive. I think Tecware Nexus ATX cases only allows max 160mm cooler height. Dont think Noctua D15 will fit. It's 165mm full height. U12A might just about fit.

They're great as an investment though and really quality fans. But if you're considering coolers at the $150+ price range, do take a look at some AIO 240 coolers too. Aesthetically more pleasing =:p

There is no point investing so much in cooling for 3700X or below, the chip will self throttle first due to heat density issues of 7nm way before it can saturate the cooling capacity like a cheap Gammaxx 400.

Got one 3600 CL16 in Lazada

Kind of ex. Go SLS buy cheaper. Think ard $205 there.

I not sure if the performance diff bw 3200 & 3600 is worth the extra $$$ though.

Edit: Corbell shop in shopee have better price.
