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

THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO SAY.

Powerhouse! Rendering 4K @ 60 FPS for a 5 minute video reduced from ~10 minutes to ~4 minutes. Running code python and matlab and gaming no issues.

I was initially hopeful when ordering this CPU and a new motherboard. However, I have experienced random computer restarts with stock settings in the BIOS. The event viewer shows a WHEA-logger event ID 18 error.

Good amd3900x

after waiting for almost 2 months from BH preorders, I decide to went with Amazon preorders and it arrived hella fast for $499. Comes with free cooler and thermal paste pre-apply which I plan to upgrade later, no problem for now which is very good. Auto PBO got me good performance as I want to keep it for few extra years down the line. I used a Rx570 to test PC while I waited for the GPU to arrive. I eventually paired it with x570 Taichi and Evga Geforce RTX 2070 Super. Temps are really good! I recommend this over Intel i9 if you are not focusing on gaming only.

I used this to build a new desktop for music production. My old desktop had an AMD 8350 8 core processor.

No need to overclock this CPU. On my Gigabyte Aorus board, it runs at 3.6 idle and 4.5 in benchmark tests. Also gets a high score.

This CPU is very powerful and can handle everything my household throws at it. We stream video, game, and download files without noticing any major stress being placed on the hardware. The Wraith fan works very well with our setup. The CPU can get hot (as it will) when doing multiple things at once but its not anything that would sway me away from buying this CPU. Could easily fix this with a liquid cool system. Highly recommend this CPU. Just a couple $100 from the 3500X and well worth the additional money.

The fan that comes with it has been working very well.

Plenty of power for gaming and video editing. I could have probably gone with a 3700X and not really noticed for what I do. If all you’re doing is gaming, this chip is probably overkill for most games.
