AMD Ryzen 3 3200G 4-core unlocked desktop processor with Radeon Graphics

The media could not be loaded. I'm building several computers to use in my dental practice and I wanted something compact yet powerful for running dental imaging software, web browsing, YouTube and practice management software. My goal was not to build a high-end gaming rig. This computer is not for overclocking either. If you want a gaming rig go build one. If you need something that runs everyday work continue reading. Also, I'm AMD fan.BUILD SETUP:1. AMD Ryzen 3 3200G with Radeon Graphics APU (4 core CPU with Radeon Graphics). 65 W TDP and max temp 95 C. ($91.95).2. Gigabyte B450 I AORUS PRO WIFI (AMD Ryzen AM4/M.2 Thermal Guard with Onboard Wifi/HDMI/DP/USB 3.1 Gen 2/Mini ITX/Motherboard) ($141.12).3. Sabrent 256GB Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive (SB-ROCKET-256) ($46.99)4. Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 Desktop Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16),Vengeance LPX Black ($73.99)5. Logitech MK270 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo - Keyboard and Mouse Included, 2.4GHz Dropout-Free Connection, Long Battery Life (Frustration-Free Packaging) ($20.99)6. InWin Chopin SECC Mini-ITX Tower Case 150W Power Supply with 4 colors stickers inside, Black Aluminum ($90.34)7. 24" DisplayPROS:1. The case has an amazing build quality. It feels premium with the black aluminum material. High quality finish and sturdy.2. Small form factor. Quite portable.3. AMD Ryzen 3 3200G is quite powerful for everything you throw at it. The nice part is that it has a built-in Radeon GPU so you can use the motherboard display out to power your displays. It supports 4K. It has 2 HDMI and 1 Display Port!4. Sabrent NVME is incredible. Windows 10 boots in 10-12 sec! Price is unbelievable.5. Built-in WiFi AC with antenna and Bluetooth 5.0. I love motherboards that have those!6. The case comes with 150 PSU. AMD with Radeon is max at 65 W so you wont be running the PSU at max. No noise from PSU and the CPU cooler fan is silent under normal operation.CONS:The case wont fit the AMD Wraith Silent cooler, without a slight modification.SOLUTION:It won't fit unless you remove the top bracket. Yes, it can fit!! It took me some time to figure it out and I wanted to share this with everyone. The stock AMD Wraith Silent cooler fits this case after you remove the top bracket from the fan. See pictures and video attached. The benefit is that you don't have to buy a separate cooler. I found that Noctua $39.90 is way too much to spend so that pushed me to figure out a solution.Plus the AMD cooler is bigger and since the fan is so close to the side panel. It will force air out of the case through the mesh.EXPERIENCE:Motherboard:The Gigabyte motherboard is incredible. The UEFI BIOS is graphics with mouse support. It came with latest BIOS revision 50 out of the box. Good job Gigabyte! (Hint: if you want to upgrade your BIOS do not do it from Windows. Always do it from the BIOS menu so no bricks). Windows 10 had no issues installing or running. All drivers installed without a problem. Radeon drivers worked out of the box. Also Miracast works on this APU with drivers 20.xx. I was able to wireless cast HDMI to a Anycast dongle and mirror my desktop.Boot time is 10-12 seconds! If your display is on standby and you push the power button by the time the monitor wakes up you're at Windows login screen. Unbelievable speed! WiFi and BT are great and coupled with 16 GB of RAM the GPU takes 2 GB and the rest is dedicated to Windows. Performance is great. It also supports Windows secure boot and other gems. Everything is so smooth.CPU Heat:Under idle conditions, the CPU temperature is around 28 C. With load you probably hit 40-50 C. I did not do extensive testing. Remember this is APU based on Zen+ architecture so it's not a 7nm APU. Hopefully, we get newer Zen 2 APUs from AMD. I love AMD !Overclocking:I do not do overclocking. My goal is usually to reduce power consumption if possible and have a quite system. The default AMD boost is way more than enough for my needs. I hate when people trash companies and motherboard because of VRM and such. If you want to overclock get a higher end and more expensive motherboard but let us enjoy those gems like the Gigabyte B450 I AORUS PRO WIFI.NOISE:Not so much. See the video. PSU does not make sound either. I tested it by unplugging the CPU fan to see. In fact that this case comes with PSU at this price is so cool. I wish more companies offer that.PERFORMANCE:If you need a computer that does everyday work you wont be disappointed. This setup is quite light and has AMD technologies. Thank you In Win Chopin for this wonderful case!

Good for Office PCs or entry-level Gaming PCs. Upgraded a very old Athlon 64 X2 system to this, and the difference is night and day.

This one works very well. I hate to say this but the one in the combo package failed miserably.

Updated my old media player from a old pre ryzen cpu. Much faster & quite, things are much more snappy and now no mouse stutter now. Bought for just over $85.00 great deal. Would recommend for cheap beginner computer or a media player.

Just wanted to give a heads up to other Linux OS users.I built a system with a new ASUS Prime B450M-A motherboard, Ryzen 3 3200G, Crucial 3000 CL15 16GB DDR4 ram, a 120GB SSD and a Corsair 400W powering it all.As long as you stick to a Linux OS that has either specifically worked their OS to work with these newer chips (props to Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS plus all 19* releases and Fedora 31 here), you will be ok. Just know that (regrettably, AMD has forgotten who saved them years ago when the Intel assault was in full swing) you will not get support from AMD Linux-drivers-wise for these chips. If you are aware of that, then you'll be good to go. And know that these chips are not true AMD cpu 3000 releases; the true 3000 releases will come next summer).Using this chip, I watched an Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS ISO boot straight up (on the ASUS Prime B450M-A mentioned above, I cannot speak about if this is so from other board manufacturers). Same goes for Fedora 31.What wouldn't boot for me (without jumping thru hoops and rebuilding an ISO using a Linux kernel 5 or higher) were things like: Linux Mint 19, OpenSUSE LEAP/Tumbleweed, Debian 10.1 Buster, MX-Linux 19 and a few others I tried. They all fail to boot because most of them are still using kernels below 5).I put this new system in the living room, for the family & kids, and it has been enduring their abuse for the past few weeks without one hiccup (knock on wood, haha) or problem. They use it for everything, from general web surfing, multi-purpose functions, to streaming Netflix, etc, etc. I even used the included cooler and also convinced myself (as a test) to use the included paste it came with. Honestly, so far, I am still surprised at the normal temp range it has been easily running at no matter what they are doing. Though if the gaming becomes heavy (its surprising what this chip will do FPS-wise, for 720P, it just rips thru everything like butter), I may swap the stock cooler out and install one of the bigger Thermaltake coolers I have (just to be safe).Hope this review helps anyone out there worried that this chip wouldn't run any Linux OS. AMD needs to be slapped upside the head for last years Pinnacle Ridge debacle (which turned many, many Linux users off). Thankfully, they've made a few strides with this 3200G/3400G releases, which is welcome. Also note AMD is still telling all 300/400 series motherboard manufacturers to "disable" PCIe4 (AMD might deserve another slap upside the head for this). If PCIe4 is important to you, wait for the true 3000 cpu(s) to be released next summer.Hope this review helps any Linux OS wonderers/users out there.

One of my favorite budget CPUs for home/office builds. Used for the past 5 years, 0 problems or issues. PCs get used everyday for long hours. Holding up well.
