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

I upgraded from an i5-4690k about a year ago to this absolute beast of a CPU and I could not be happier. Its unfortunate that since then, prices have skyrocketed on PC components, but for the ~400 I paid for this I will be happy for a long time. While benchmark sites like to focus on single-threaded performance, where comparably aged Intel units will get a slight edge, in real world use the 12 cores on offer here are a huge benefit. I simply havent been able to tax this CPU at all. Want to run a taxing game on one monitor, while streaming videos or keeping 12 tabs of Chrome open on the other? The 3900x doesnt even care. Go for it. Not even a droplet of sweat.

Muito bom, mas precisa de um bom water cooler de pelo menos 240mm para dar conta

I upgraded from a i7 7700k and the pc is much more responsive and runs smooth, and starts twice as fast

When I first installed this, it immediately started overheating. It is on a new 570 MB that supposedly supports Ryzen Gen3. After much angst, I found this is a common problem if you dont have the correct setup, i.e. drivers and power management settings. Out of the box is not an option for this, unlike my other Ryzen 5 Gen2 which I set and forget. This should be better documented AND AMD needs to properly support Windows Server versions for their drivers and Ryzen software. With proper setup, I can run it under load with temperatures around 70c. Sometimes peaks around 80c, which worries me enough to watch it, but nowhere near the 90-95 I was originally seeing. Bought a 3rd party cooler to be sure I had properly cooling.

Simply awesome. I really cannot say more than that.

worked as I plugged it into new board I got and worked no problem here

Coming from a Core™ i7-6700K system I built in late 2017, which has been super fast and reliable, I realized I needed more performance for editing and exporting 4K footage of my churchs sermons, which at the least are 25 minutes long, and at the most, an hour. Having read about AMDs impressive comeback with the Ryzen processors, I decided to go with the Ryzen™ 9 3900X. This is my first AMD build, so I was very excited for it.

Super loud with the stock fan.

Bought one try to get speeds to what it says 6.5Ghz boost but you wont even get near 4.2 really with out it needing a lot of power and that will cause your cooler to over heat unless you own a crazy big water cooler but mine could not do it ! it throttle its self around 4.0 so I manual over clocked to 4.2 with 1.25 volts to 1.3 volts and it wont go past that with out crashing yet I was told most wont go near 4.6 if lucky you get one that will go to 4.4ghz but the way they make them not all them come out the same and none are tested just packed and sold ! make sure to check when running programs that run on more then one core to see if you get the right speeds and cooling if not RMA them and try your luck again ! good luck

This thing is a beast. Runs nice and cool with the h110i cooler. Runs stable even when using all cores to the max.
