AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 8-Core, 16-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Wraith Prism LED Cooler

Good condition

Easy drop-in upgrade from my old Ryzen 1700 (non-x) to this with only a BIOS update. Currently running at 4.3ghz with 1.23v and sitting pretty at 27c idle. I can boot into Windows at 4.5ghz with 1.35v, but it didnt seem too stable. Didnt mess with it anymore and put it back to 4.3hz. Even though its rated at 105w, it seems to run cooler than my 1st gen 1700. Worth the extra $20-$30 I paid over the 3700x.

Great quality

Bios is still beta, overall ok

I use this pc for gaming exclusively...I only play A rank titles (eg. Destiny 2, Fortnite) at their highest setting and in 4k...my 2080ti runs flawlessly and I rarely experience any lag as a result of cpu failure or overheating and Im using the factory wrath cooler.

Bought a new ryzen 7 3800, received a used (had thermal paste on fan and processor) + a very battered box.

Got this over the 3700x as it was on sale for cheaper than the 3700x.

Unsure if it’s Ryzen or my motherboard. Running at ram speed of 3200mhz requires a lot of tweaking to get it stable. Some boot loops happen occasionally.

Im glad I went with it.

So, I bought this CPU for gaming and it came with a code for Assassins Creed Valhalla. I tried to redeem the code BEFORE the game came out and they told me that the promotion was over and the code was void. This was not made very clear that the promotion ENDED BEFORE THE RELEASE OF THE GAME. Leaving a one star review because of poor business practices.
