AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core, 16-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Wraith Prism LED Cooler

Wouldnt even get past loading screen when booted left it for an hour or 2 still nothing

SO new, not even listed in the mainboards QVL/CPU list! Didnt matter! IT SCREAMS!!!! Oh, and it doesnt even reach 96F on a simple fan cooler! And yeah, I PUSH hard w/ocing for excellent audio/video production setups. If you cant afford >$3000 for the 64 core threadripper, you DO want this!

This cpu even smoked my old Ryzen 7 1700.

Without a doubt Id recommend this to anyone, it is way cheaper than Intel and offers more cores, and is fully unlocked. Gaming performance is really really good too. PBO is another brilliant feature!

This processor is very nice i have had it for a couple of months and it works well with gaming and thats what i use it for so i am very happy and would buy again if needed.

Coming from intel this is my first AMD chip.

Its in a sweet spot for a lot of things.

I bought this CPU as to upgrade from my i7 4790k, not necessarily because I was expecting a huge performance increase but my 4th gen Intel chip was starting to show its age with compatibility issues. So I moved to a new b450 motherboard and the 3700X CPU. This Chip runs a bit hotter than Id expect it to (Although I am looking to upgrade to an AIO in the future to help with temps), it is a very capable chip, the temperatures whilst gaming arent too bad and it keeps up with the high end Intel chips in gaming, but the deciding factor for me was the price was £40-60 cheaper than the equivalent Intel CPU and it basically does everything other than Gaming better than Intel. AMD have really stepped up with this CPU and I dont really have much negatives to say, there are a few, such as the turbo clock issues with AMD chips and motherboards (research it before buying). This should be fixed by the time anyone is reading this review but make sure you compare at what matters most to you, and I enjoy my gaming but I enjoy streaming and recording also, which helped make my choice clear that Id go for an AMD CPU. With my previous Intel CPU streaming and gaming wasnt really possible as I would get stuttering from little bits of lag and it was noticeable enough to not be able to stream, with this new AMD CPU you still suffer from general FPS decrease (As does Intel) but it is a lot less worse, and I am not getting stuttering in any games in-fact. So it gets a huge thumbs up from me for this. I would recommend this CPU to others, I would say it easily hits a 8-9/10, the only downsides are that its not as powerful as a 9700k or 9900k, and the temps can be a bit higher than youd expect on Idle.

Will update this review in the event of product malfunction.

As said in the headline, it gets a little hot with the wraith prism cooler, so if you want better temperatures, you might want an aio or maybe something to that effect. Its a really good cpu though, really good.
