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

12 cores /24 threads/ huge benchmark scores... for the price you cannot go wrong, have not tried to overclock yet im going to go slow on the first silicon, you never know.

These CPUs runs a bit warm however the Wraith Prism does a great job with cooling. Looks great as well. I got it for rendering but it can handle gaming no problem. I chose Pentium on my last build for stability. AMD has really come full circle since my last build though. This things is rock solid. Very stable!!!!

This beast is FAST! I built a Photoshop editing system with this CPU and it is SOOOOO much faster than the previous Intel system.

more than 5 stars

Everything is running super nice and fast. Please note that the X series does not support on-board video. Had issue that I thought I had a bad board and it was not the case when I figured that out with the replacement.

After 3 months, Amazon still cant seem to get the product titles correct for these new CPUs. Fortunately, the description details matched what I wanted. This was in fact the AMD Ryzen 9 3900x which is a 12-core processor (NOT 8-core as the current description suggests).

Un processore dalle prestazioni incredibili (se chiedete di più cè solo il 3950X...), ma la vera differenza la fa nelle applicazioni che sfruttano tutti i 12 core e 24 Threads...se lo comprate per giocare non ha senso, prendete un 3300X che in single core va quasi alla stessa maniera. Brava AMD, a questo giro ci ha davvero preso.

Builtin cooler not usable! Need to buy liquid cooler... Cpu getting too hot :(

I purchased this processor based on online reviews. I was having problems with my CorelDraw app closing unexpectedly. It still happens but much less frequently (IMO its a Corel problem as Im not the only one with this problem). With the included Wraith Cooler it stays between 43C and 55C in everyday use (and I seldom see one core go above 15% load). I put it on a ASUS Tuf X570 gaming MOBO and am happy with the build.

I have used this CPU for future upgrade (at least for couple of years). Was deciding between Ryzen 3700X and 3900X. Its a lot of cores for this price range. It all works, all I throw at it. Stock cooler is used and that one is louder when CPU runs hotter. Can definitely hear it when it is changing revs. Cooler will definitely be changed at some point. This was used with MSI B550 Carbon Wifi and Viper Steel Series DDR4 64GB (2 x 32GB) 3600MHz Kit.
