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

great cpu allot of bang for the buck

I do a lot of video encoding and rendering, and this things r i p s.

What can I say, 12 cores, 24 threads...You really cant expect anything but the best. Sure, Zen3 is out, but Im only on an ASRock B450m and with a Nocuta u12a, I was easily able to get this thing to 4.3ghz with max temp of 72-73C on Cinebench R20 runs. Eventually I’ll get myself onto an AsRock x570 Taichi, something whose bios I’ll be comfortable on coming from a current AsRock board/bios. I also have 64gigs(16x4) of 3200mhz Crucial Ballistix ram that I have overclocked to 3466 with infiniti fabric at 1733(exactly half). 750w Seasonic Focus Plus Platinum PSU and a Zotac RTX 2070 Super that is also overclocked via its own Firestorm software. My system is not just stable, I could pretty darn well do anything I want at this point. I upgraded from a Ryzen 7 3700x that I had overclocked to 4.4ghz no problem, but something just had me wanting a higher score on more cores. I use Cinebench R20. Just popping this puppy in with no OC, at just 3.8ghz yielded a jump from around 5100 with the Ryzen 7, to a 7162 straight out of the box. First overclock attempt up to 4.2 got me to 7395, then 4.3 got me 7581 at 1.375v, and finally 4.4ghz got me 7753. Granted when Im running a Cinebench run, Ryzen Master is telling me Im now pulling about 133 watts, but thats to be expected from 12 cores. Im in shock at how good the Noctua u12a is. At 4.4ghz the processor never gets above 76c (Noctua NT-H2 thermal paste) Im never going to make this thing work that hard on a day to day basis. Idle is about 33-35C most of the time unless my room is hot and only pulling about 13-18w on average. I really could not be more happy. Im just smiling from ear to ear at not only the stability, but also the sheer raw power of this thing. Highly recommended!

Title says it all really.

Also AMD hat hier wirklich tolle Arbeit geleistet. Ob Arbeit oder Spiele, es performed in beiden Bereichen sehr gut. Und Preis passt auch gut.

Got it on sale for $400 and thought i might be spending too much, but this processor doesnt even get hot unless Im pushing it to its limits! My 2012 intel cpu is hot at normal loads... i might have been fine with a ryzen 7 third gen, but the price difference isnt horrible and I got 3 months of xbox gamepass, so its neen a great experience.

I dont overclock I run it basically out of the box with the water cooler on it its awesome and Ive had the 3700 2600 X3 900 x is the best one so far

AMD outdid themselves with this and then the 3950x holyyyy

Was installed on an ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero Mobo x570 chipset. It has major incompatibility issues with the motherboard it is installed on. Most have no available correct drivers and the result is a premium priced 2020 AMD CPU with 2010 performance. It was easy to install and the provided AMD fan was good enough. But you MUST, absolutely MUST make sure you are using this on a compatible x570 motherboard that has actual experience. ASUS motherboards are NOT compatable with this processor and make it perform as if it has the capacity of 1/10 of its speed.

Two of the corner pins were bent when I opened the box !
