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

Love the install and the wraith cooler very easy to do the only drawl back is no documents on the rgb plugs. I used the RGB header not the USB like every else I read has done. Remember fan cord and use only of the RGB plugs. Also there is a switch on the fan L or H nothing in the box to tell you what its for but I watch a video and they said its for higher fan speed but really Im not sure it might be for low or high RGB lights ? Not sure i put it on H works . Great cpu the complete install went much another than my 8700k

I bought this as part of a new build for streaming while flying a flight simulator. Having previously used an I7 7700k, the machine more or less melted when trying to do everything. With this thing, I can stream, fly the sim, play media files, and render an Adobe Premier Pro video all at the same time with no degraded performance. Just mind blowing the difference with 12 cores and 24 threads. The stock cooler is more than adequate if youre not planning on overclocking.

Whats not to like?

Upgraded from a Ryzen 5 so the only tricky but to figure it out was to update to BIOS firmware but once that was sorted, it runs games perfectly and renders 3D animation rapidly.

This is a great buy for power and speed. Normal computing barely makes a blip on the cpu use scale. I bought this with the future in mind. It is very fast. Using PC 3200 memory with it. Put in the Samsung 870 1T M2 drive in it.

Very impressed with this CPU. Yes its expensive, but the performance you get for the price is very good. Running this with a GTX 1660 Super in the mean time until the 3080s are back in stock, and even currently it can run every game ive thrown at it with 60+FPS at high+ settings. I really went with AMD because they tend to be better than Intel at workstation applications in their consumer line of chips, and ive noticed this is a bit faster at applications like Blender and Premiere compared to my 2019 iMac with an Intel 9900k.

Plugged into my X570 MB, added a PCIe 4 M.2 AMD it performs far better than my Ryzen 7. MP4 conversions of my digitized BluRays and DVDs are 4X faster. All of the cpus are never pegged at 100%.

Love it

Works out of the box with x570 aorus elite, installed with Arctic Freezer 1 with AM4 adapter and temps wont go above 65 :)

Got this processor a couple months ago and have been in love with it ever since. This was my first move away from intel and I’m glad we did it. We play 4k games on the pc and have never utilized more than 8 cores on the computer. It’s a great processor.
