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

I upgraded from an i5-4690k about a year ago to this absolute beast of a CPU and I could not be happier. Its unfortunate that since then, prices have skyrocketed on PC components, but for the ~400 I paid for this I will be happy for a long time. While benchmark sites like to focus on single-threaded performance, where comparably aged Intel units will get a slight edge, in real world use the 12 cores on offer here are a huge benefit. I simply havent been able to tax this CPU at all. Want to run a taxing game on one monitor, while streaming videos or keeping 12 tabs of Chrome open on the other? The 3900x doesnt even care. Go for it. Not even a droplet of sweat.

Acquistato per sfruttare i multicore in rendering. Niente da dire, fa perfettamente il suo lavoro.

Might run a bit hotter than Ryzen 7 I had in old computer, but much better. On monitor programs and BIOS temp is fine with just the wraith prism stock cooler. I think it probably helps I bought a mid-tower Fractal Design Meshify S2 case (roomy), but I cant find a problem yet. With that case and 2 extra Fractal 140mm fans (1 on top and 1 in front for total of 3 in front) case and CPU cooler with EVGA 2080 Super graphics card than my home office that has a Ryzen 7 chip, 3 fans, and lower end graphics card.

Ero indeciso tra questo e il 3950x ma penso che per le prestazioni/prezzo abbia fatto la scelta giusta (utilizzo il pc principalmente per programmi di grafica).

I used this to build a new desktop for music production. My old desktop had an AMD 8350 8 core processor.

With this CPU I can run a scanner on one printer, send a print job to another printer, move files, and work on a spreadsheet at the same time without skipping a beat. I have no idea how fast it plays games, but for productivity it is an asset. By the way, it has an led light cable on the stock fan that, when connected to the led port on my mobo makes the fan put on quite a light show. Great eye candy, lousy for staying focused on the spreadsheet :-)

I thought i wrote a review already and sadly cant find it. Running at 4000mhz base, i score 7002 on Cinebench 20 all cores, just below half on running a single ccd (the 12 cores are split in to two groups on this chip), with one being a higher clock base than the other (hence me setting all of them to 4000). Im undervolting by 0.00675, with ram latancy at 15 15 15 36 (courtessy of excellent Patriot Viper) with my 2080 standard GPU ruinning smooth and trouble free at a 20% OC (Afterburner yay).

Erstmal zum Guten: Wahnsinns CPU! Man wartet nur so knappe 40 Jahre CPU Evolution ab und hat dann, einfach so, mal einen 12 Kern Prozessor mit Hyperthreading bei sich unterm Schreibtisch.

If you have any doubts, I have been using intel for years and this is my favorite cpu Ive ever owned. Insanely fast and will be the best purchase you make.

I had this cpu in my machine for 3 weeks, it was working perfectly fine. Then one day it booted to the windows screen the pc shutdown and would never post again.
