The 3500x is exclusive to Chinese CPUs and would likely not work with a Gigabyte B450M DS3H motherboard. Your LG 1151 cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo would probably not fit an AM4 board.

I tested a 3500 on a Gigabyte A320M A m.2 and believe it will function fine on a B450m DS3H. The cooler setup might pose a challenge since the two connectors are mounted differently; if you have a dedicated mount with the cooler, it should work.

It should function properly. Check the support list to verify compatibility with Ryzen 3000. Be aware I don’t recommend a 6-core processor without an SMART chip. Some 6-core i5 models have performance problems in several games, especially when pushed to full capacity. If you manage to obtain a 3300x or 3600, both will perform better than the original CPU. Unless you purchase an AM4 mounting hardware package (which is pricier due to shipping), it won’t fit.

I currently possess a quad-core i5 7600K that has been having issues with the games I play lately, making this a solid upgrade option for me.

I just looked into it—the 212 Evo supports both AMD and Intel brackets, and I’m currently using an Intel one.

The issue you're facing with your i5 is ongoing and has been present for some time, especially with the 6-core i5 models. This pattern applies to Ryzen as well. It seems similar problems will arise with upcoming consoles, where 6 cores will likely be preferred. Choosing a 3600 or 3300X would be advantageous.

Ensure the compatible AM4 bracket is included, as your device won't fit without it. While AMD offers brackets for AM2 and AM3, they won't work with AM4 unless it was designed for that standard.

It seems this product is available mainly in Indian and Bangladesh markets, possibly exclusive to Asia. You can confirm this on the QVL page: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B45...upport-cpu. It appears you need the AM4 bracket, which might not be included with your system. For better performance, I recommend a Ryzen 5 3600 or Ryzen 3 3300X instead of the 3500X. If the 3600 offers only minor gains, the 3300X would be preferable; otherwise, go for the 3600.

I reviewed comparisons between the 3500x and 3600, seeing only about 5% difference in performance. With my quad-core i5, it’s still a better option for me. I keep playing in 1080p, which works just fine.

I handle many tasks at once, so more cores would be beneficial for me.
