Isn't the firestrike demo just a gpu benchmark and you have to pay extra for the CPU one?

Should I put the 5600 back in? What else should I look at before I take the 3600 out?

I mean my main concern was temps and that I maybe had a defective processor. Thats why I included the temps I recorded. I couldn't get PBO to enable either so I don't understand why the 5600 was more than 10 degrees hotter than my old CPU and seemed to be a downgrade in game. I got about 10 less frames with the 5600 and it felt extremely stuttery. Idk what else to say

Okay my bad. My issue is that my Temps were higher. Like 10 degrees or more higher in BF2042 when I upgraded to the 5600. Once I put the 3600 back in I noticed my stuttering went away and I gained maybe 10 fps. My clock speeds are lower on the 5600 as well. I'm just concerned there is something wrong with the 5600 I just bought. My RAM is 3600MHZ DDR4 Kingston. I have XMP enabled. Only one stick of 16gb RAM. GPU temps I haven't paid much attention to because they seemed normal to me. Case cooling isn't the best at the moment. Still doesn't make sense to me how the 5600 can be that much hotter in the same case with the exact same cooler. The reason I mentioned TDP was because I couldn't get Precision boost to enable in Ryzen Master. I thought maybe the fact that 100% of my TDP was being used on the 5600 meant that it was slowing my clocks down and hurting performance. I ran superposition but didn't think to record the performance since my CPU temps were only a few degrees hotter than idle. I didn't feel like buying 3dmark for the CPU benchmark either. I just decided to do cinnebench instead.

Oof I didn't think I would get any responses and I figured this was a better place to post it.

So I started with the 3600 and decided to upgrade about a week or so after buying it. I want to be able to run BF2042 which is already a CPU demanding game. The 5600 seemed to have higher temps than I remembered the 3600 having so I reapplied thermal paste and the cooler a few times. Eventually I decided to put the old 3600 back in to make sure I wasn't imagining things. The 5600 had lower temps in cinnebench by about 10 degrees, but my temps in BF2042 are about 6-7 degrees hotter with the 5600 and I get much more stuttering and lower frames. I noticed my core clock gets up to 4.0 GHZ with the 3600 but the 5600 only gets to 3.7 in cinnebench. The 5600 has a lower TDP and and is using 100% of it. The 3600 is using only about 90% of the TDP so I'm wondering if this is why the core clocks are getting higher and thus giving me better frames and less stuttering. I couldn't figure out how to enable PBO on either processor. Is this likely my issue or is there something else I'm not considering? Here are my specs and the temps I recorded: Gigabyte a520i Mobo Wraith Spire (both processors) Corsair TM30 Thermal Paste Corsair SF750 PSU XFX rx6600 Sandisk SATA SSD Silverstone Sg13 Mini ITX Case Generic old TT 120mm fan (Soon to be upgraded) Temps for 5600 stock fan curve: Idle- 42 Degrees Cinnebench- 72 Degrees 1.05V 3.7Ghz 100% of 76W TDP Bf2042- 76 Degrees BF1- 77 Degrees Temps for 3600 Stock fan curve: Idle- 42-43 Degrees Cinnebench- 84 Degrees 1.33V 3.9Ghz 91% of 88W TDP Bf2042- 70 Degrees

The 5600 had lower temps in cinnebench by about 10 degrees, but my idle temps are slightly lower with the 3600 and my temps in BF2042 are about 6-7 degrees cooler. I also have less of an issue with stuttering with the 3600. My FPS is better all around. I noticed my core clock gets up to 4.0 GHZ with the 3600 but the 5600 only gets to 3.7. It has a lower TDP and and is using 100% of it. The 3600 is using only about 90% of the TDP so I'm wondering if this is why the core clocks are getting higher.

I know there are lots of thread about Ryzen temps especially the 5600 but I just wanna make sure this adds up. I had a ryzen 5 3600 and upgraded to a 5600. In the same case (silverstone sg13 SFF) I gained about 10-20 degrees. I know its a more powerful processor and the wraith stealth isn't as good as the spire I used to have, however is 83 degrees normal for regular gaming? If so will a cooler like the id-50 reduce my temps by that much?

Kinda seems like the same dilemna I had choosing my GPU. It was between the XT and non XT for about 50$

I recently built a PC with a r5 3600. I was considering the i3 12100f but ultimately decided I wanted 6 cores and went with the r5 3600 for the same price. I bought an rx 6600 gpu for 1080p 60 fps gaming. I am considering returning the 3600 for a 5600 which is currently 50$ more. Do you guys think its worth it?

I meant out of my CPU. The 3600 seems to want 3600mhz and I didn't give it 3600mhz.

Actually I did just overclock to 2800mhz and it noticeably improved my performance. I might invest in a 3600mhz stick to make sure I'm getting the performance I paid for.

Just built my new PC yesterday with an r5 3600 and rx600. After downloading bf2042 my performance is nothing like these two videos. I’m pegged at 100% CPU usage and only get around 50 fps and it stutters. What could I be missing? I know BF is very poorly optimized for CPUs but these videos prove to me that it can be done with this setup. The second one is even in the last 3 weeks. I just feel like maybe I’m missing something that will give me that extra bit of performance. My only difference to the setup in the vids is having 2400mhz RAM (XMP enabled). But that wouldn’t affect my FPS this much right?
