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

I learned something with this processor : at 7nm lithography, there is not enough surface area on the CPU die to properly cool it and cooling has become the primary issue with increasing density.

This is 2021 not 1963. CPUs cant get much faster so they get wider. You are not going to run into a ge whiz new CPU. AMD has cobbled together i very good and wide CPU. It does what it was designed to and does it very well.

My son had the ryzen 5 and we upgraded to the 9. Night and Day difference with his 4k gaming. Keep in min, with this kit you don’t get the clamps for the motherboard. So, you will need them if you don’t have them already have the correct mounts.

Pro: I can now multitask with whatever I want. I will get higher FPS, even though it technically has less single core performance, because I can offload EVERYTHING to its own core. This is just amazing coming from 4c/8t

Travel to the Future!!

Great CPU cant go wrong

not a computer geek. first build. this is the best I have ever had. just works. very fast.

Blindingly fast processor, at least compared to the one it replaced. The cooler kept the processor at 180F when doing performance testing. Probably would opt for a higher capacity cooler if overclocked. It wont be overclocked.

This Processor is amazing. Night and day difference between my FX8350 rig. But this thing is a beast. Epic performance, nominal price.

Excellent processor. Lightning fast. Super fast shipping. These are good honest folks!
