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

This thing is a beast im coming from a 2700x and its a big difference im using this with X570 Msi MEG Ace and 2080 Super FTW 3

Runs FFXIV at 120 fps and 10% CPU power and is fairly stable at 4.1 Ghz.

Don’t just believe some benchmark were single app text. Get real world performance metrics.

I was very nervous ordering this because just over half the reviews in the last month were complaints about the cooler being missing and the CPU being shipped naked in an envelope.

This processor is amazing for work in rendering and simulation without getting into the Threadripper platform.

This thing is a MONSTER! It eats through 4K video edits in Premier Pro.! Not over locked at all and it runs prefect. Temps stay in the low 50c range, and the RGB fan that it comes with is effective and a nice touch (I don’t think you can customize the color though).

This is an absolute beast. At stock speeds this thing installed Windows 10 in 5 minutes, same thing for photoshop and lightroom. There is no wait time for anything task I throw at this thing. Everything happens instantly. Best decision I ever made

So I decided to build a high end rig. Bought r9 3900x, Asus prime pro x570, 32gb trident Z neo. Rog 2070 super. Put it all together, loaded windows did my updates etc. Performed a few benchs with stock settings and wow. This thing was great. Played any game I threw at it max settings 1080p throwing tons of frames basically maxing out my 144hz monitor. Then one day about a week after building surfing the web watching YouTube on my second monitor and it glitched out hard! Bsod! Unable to boot after crash. Swapped nvme and tried to fresh install windows 10. No luck, swapped memory, graphics card, power supply, no luck. PC specialist looked it over and said motherboard toasted. Ordered new MSI x570 carbon. Rebuilt the entire rig. Still Would not boot or allow fresh install of windows. Finally last component left was CPU. Swapped my r5 1600x from wifes PC and computer booted up and worked fine. Searched web and found a few reports of others having exact same/very similar issue with the 3900x. Dont know if Mobo took out CPU or other way around but returned to Amazon and replacement is on the way. I sincerely hope the next one works as it should, because when it worked... Wow!

very powerful but a pain as it gets very hot, idles between 40-50deg using supplied cooler and artic thermal paste with 4 fans, and shoots up to 60+ pretty quick

One of the best purchases when it was on sale for $389...
