AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-core, 24-thread unlocked desktop processor with Wraith Prism LED Cooler

Doest meet the rated clocks on stock cooler. It boosts higher on liquid but not to the advertised speed

PC is primarily for gaming, but I run VMs for educational purposes (windows server certs) and I can run a few VMs and a AAA game all at once and it doesnt even break a sweat. Believe the hype folks... AMD is back.

Works as advertised which is unusual nowadays

Its very good product, excellent quality

This chip sure does perform excellent for the price. Gets 1730 on cinebench with ram speed 2133mhz , with all stock settings no overclock or anything. Just to note Im using a custom loop for cooling in my itx build. But after playing around in the bios I managed to get my chip to 4.2ghz (@1.375 v) and my ram to 3200 with xmp profile and managed to change the ram timings to cl15 15-15-15-35 from cl16 16-18-18-38. All 100% stable on b350 gigabyte itx board. Managed to get 1900 on cinebench after the oc. I could not however get 4.3 GHz stable without pushing voltage over 1.45 so I stopped there and went back. Temps never get over 65c even after gaming or benchmarks.

This is a great processor! I had the ryzen 5 1600 when it launched initially. I was very impressed with that processor and it served me well and it was still working up to the time i changed to the ryzen 9.

Compared with the price per core of a 3950x this is no questio a better value. And it worked flawlessly in my x370 board. A HUGE upgrade from 1st gen Ryzen.

Game,stream, do it all without having to worry about processing power. A true beast indeed.

Wow, that covers it...:)

Probably best bang for the buck streaming CPU if you’re streaming x264.
