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

Bin von einem Ryzen 7 1700 umgestiegen und hatte eigentlich zuerst den Ryzen 7 3700X im Blick.

The new Ryzen 3000 series chips are amazing. I was looking to replace my aging Haswell (4th Gen) Intel Core i7 4790k with something more modern - and when I read about the new Ryzen 3000 series, I waited an extra 6 months to re-build my PC...and boy am I glad I did! I cut encoding times for a 1080p 2 hour movie from 2 hours (near real-time) to < 30 minutes!! And through the power of the PCI-e 4.0 that this enables (when paired with an X570 motherboard), my storage access is now running at 5GB/sec write and read (with a PCI-e 4.0 enables NVMe SSD). Everything is blazing fast even when I have a ton of stuff running. If you’re looking for the ultimate chip for content creation, coding, and a very good option for gaming also (even if it gives up a few FPS to the highest end intel chips), look no further!! And it even comes with a passable cooler (if you don’t mind a bit of noise and don’t plan to overclock) with nice RGB LEDs built in.

Great for what you pay

Incredible value for dollar from a fine little market distuptor.

Had to change my review as my heatsink was loose causing it to overheat and its working right now. Havent thrown anything too heavy at it but so far so good.

Non credevo, una cosa incredibile. Ho anche un pc con uno Xeon che a ricodificare un film ci mette 1 ora e 20 minuti. Il nuovo pc col Ryzen ci mette 16 minuti. Ovviamente è sul PC giochi dove tutto gira a velocità fotoniche. Mai speso meglio 500 euro. Stra-stra-consigliato. Se costasse un filino meno magari...

Received yesterday, installed in MSI B450 Tomahawk, replacing a 2700X. No problems whatsoever with installation (I did update the BIOS first). DDR is 4 x CMK16GX4M2B3000C15, which I could only get stable up to 2800MHz with 2700X. With 3900X, memory is stable at 3000 MHz. Compile speed for Linux kernel: 10m39s vs. 23m23s with Ryzen 2700X. This CPU is amazing!

When I originally put my PC together and tried to find out what kind of overclocks I could do I was disappointed with not being able to get 4.6ghz with PBO in the bios. later found that advertised speed was not for a full all core clock speed. Decided to leave it be and enjoy the stock speeds for a few months as overclocking in the beginning was in need of some bios updates and when they finally came in a few months down the road. NOW running a 4.2ghz ALL Core overclock. I thought this thing was fast then after the overclock it turned out to impress even more, and all this while still remaining at less than 42 Degrees Celsius. The hottest it has ever been is 62C under stress tests (This is using a kraken x72 watercooler)

Does everything I need and more. Even new games auto default to ultra based on this CPU. Included cooler barely ever breaks 50 degrees C.

Bought one try to get speeds to what it says 6.5Ghz boost but you wont even get near 4.2 really with out it needing a lot of power and that will cause your cooler to over heat unless you own a crazy big water cooler but mine could not do it ! it throttle its self around 4.0 so I manual over clocked to 4.2 with 1.25 volts to 1.3 volts and it wont go past that with out crashing yet I was told most wont go near 4.6 if lucky you get one that will go to 4.4ghz but the way they make them not all them come out the same and none are tested just packed and sold ! make sure to check when running programs that run on more then one core to see if you get the right speeds and cooling if not RMA them and try your luck again ! good luck
