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

In a word? ITS A MAD BEAST. I have wanted something that could handle 4k and 8k video (codecs really play a part as all are not handled the same here). If you work with adobe products and you want a smoother performance then this CPU is for you and I never even see it go over 20% usage even when rendering. Its so good. As newer CPUs come out, this will be cheaper and will even be better value for money. Its mops the floor with its intel equivalent.

Get it using it on 570mpg and corsair 3200 Vengeance pro.

Seems like a good upgrade for older am4 boards what I dont like it doesnt boost to max frequency on an msi x470 gaming plus.

An amazing piece of tech

Popped into my X570 MB with no issues

But it came too late so I returned them

Very Happy. However, arrived with some bent pins. Had to delicately bend them back with a razor blade. Didnt look like it had been opened before so I have to assume it left the factory that way.

Upgraded from an Intel i7 to a Ryzen 9. Probably like saying Im impressed with upgrading from a Subaru Legacy to a BMW 750i. But hey, from a 6k video editing perspective, the 9 is a little workhorse and tremendous overall value.

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.

The best bang for your buck, beats the competition and is exactly what I needed for renders and gaming.
