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

The CPU performs as expected and is amazing however be aware of the fan that comes with it. The fan comes with pre applied thermal paste which acts as a super glue. Upon replacing my cpu cooling fan, the thermal paste pulled my cpu out of its socket and bent some pins. I am yet to check if the cpu works however it has been 2 months since I first fit it and it is now possible broken.

It just works, perfect for everything

Excellent product

Quick delivery took 10 minutes to install and its 10x faster then my previous intel cpu

The Intel version costs $630 msrp compared to the $430 msrp. The difference? 3-4 frames more via Intel. Thank you for stopping by the review section.

The coolmaster made for amd prism fan this core comes with was a bit hard to control speed wise and rgb wise at first but once I worked out the kinks with the driver and the software this quickly became my most favorite build I have ever made. I am running overclocked at 4gigs ram and core matched and have absolute stability and performance at 39 degrees c. This build is an essential gaming build.

This thing is a work horse

I received a chip that causes hardware fault BSoDs when installed in multiple independent x570 PC systems (different motherboards, different RAM, different graphics cards from both ATI and Nvidia, different NVMe storage, power, peripherals, etc.). Typical symptom is a Win10 PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA BSoD, occurring under lightly-loaded use. I should point out that I do not overclock these systems...they are built for reliability. Interestingly, the CPU I received in this order works seemingly quite reliably under highly loaded usage (uptime is weeks at least at 90+% CPU usage on nuclear transport calculations, versus hours at best when unloaded). As I can drop this chip into multiple systems with virgin Win10 Pro OS and get the same result, the issue is conclusively linked to the CPU I received in this order. Not really an acceptable defect in a brand-new, top-of-the-line processor. I will be spending an additional $400 to replace it.

Best price vs. performance in the whole wide world. To match performance with a M@c Pro youll have to spend a whole lot more. Like a whole whole lot more. Yahoo potato.
