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

Its the time for Zen 2……right? Probably not.

This CPU likes to run hot, and the motherboard has plenty of room for the CPU to push the limits, so get an AIO cooler or youll be stuck setting the max frequency to anything below 4.0 to keep it below 50c while idle

I bought this chip with a B450-F chipset on a new motherboard, knowing that chipset does support the 3700X after a BIOS update. I took the gamble hoping my motherboard had the update, but it didnt. I also knew before hand that AMD had a boot kit loan where they loan you a CPU to update your motherboard. Sadly I didnt look into the boot kit loan more before I bought the CPU. If your motherboard doesnt have CPU-less EZ flash, and you dont have an older AM4 processor, youll need to get an older AM4 processor or go through AMDs loan service.

CHE SCHIFX

Tut was sie soll!

Now that I have it running the CPU is great but it wasnt an easy road to get it running. I have had a bunch of Ryzen CPUs and motherboards from the beginning and this was the hardest CPU to get running. In my excitement after getting the CPU, I pulled my 2700x and installed the 3700x. I thought I had upgraded my UEFI within the last month so I thought I was good to go. I thought they were rolling out the updates for the new CPUs earlier so Id be able to boot it and update my UEFI to the latest version after the swap. I am using an Asus Crosshair VII. Well, it didnt boot. I cleared CMOS and still no go. I think ooh I got a mobo that can flash without a CPU my expensive board feature is going to pay off. Well, I figured out that the board can flash without a CPU but it will not flash with a CPU in the socket even if it isnt working. So I had to take the CPU back out, flash the latest UEFI, and then reinstall the CPU. Then it still didnt boot. I kept getting stuck on a C5 UEFI code. Then after some forum research, I found I had to set my memory boot voltage. Then I got it going but I cannot cold boot still without resetting the CMOS and redoing the settings each time. These problems existed in the past with 1st generation products but it seems they have returned. My transition from a 1700 to a 2700x was super easy and without issue. This hasnt been as smooth. Everything seems to be working well with the CPU since I got it installed and running. Reading around online I see a lot of people having problems that seem to be real. Lagging UEFI updates, Destiny 2 not running (fixed), unable to boot, etc... So unless you are pretty hardware literate and able to work through potential problems you might want to wait a little longer until things get ironed out. SO CPU itself great, integration into existing ecosystem not so great right now.

CPU davvero potente. Sia per gaming che per lavoro come rendering o CAD. Il dissipatore incluso è davvero molto valido, peccato per il sistema di fissaggio che è davvero molto molto difficile da installare. E un porumoroso se si mette la CPU sotto stress, in ogni caso riesce comunque a tenere a bada le temperature. Perfetto

eine gute cpu

Running great on kubuntu 19.10.

Ea un excelente producto para uso en diseño 3D en SolidWorks y AutoCad...si como los básico en una PC, su Fan hace mucho ruido cuando el procesador se somete a estrés, recomiendo un sistema liquido para evitar ese nivel de ruido. Lo recomiendo 100%
