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

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.

Ich habe heute voller Vorfreude das Paket geöffnet und was finde ich vor... ein bereits zerstörtes Siegel und keinen Prozessor in der Verpackung. Nur der dämliche Lüfter...

This CPU is absolute overkill. I bought this to use in a workstation / gaming PC setup, the mobo I am using is the gigabyte x570 aorus master which pairs along nicely with the 3900x. I originally bought a 3700x and swapped to the 3900x, as for roughly $200 more I could have a total of 12 cores / 24 threads, as opposed to 8 cores / 16 threads with the 3700x.

Not much to say really, just a ryzen cpu that is awesome to have and to use it for everything, the focus was not for games but it works awesomely well for it

I tend to do a lot of things that push my GPU and CPU hard. I noticed problems with my old Intel processor/motherboard combo in the past with such habits, but I havent had any issues with this newish model by AMD.

Does run a little hot, but its 12cores.

First let me say this thing is fantastic. Ive been building personal computers since 2000 and this is the largest Improvement Ive ever had in a build. Boot times are incredible, never gets hot with the proper thermal paste applied. I bet I dont even use 10% of what its capable of in daily activities. I could have saved a lot of money but this was my compromise for not buying the 3950X which I definitely would not have able to push to its limits.

This is best without overclocking and beating i9900k not even i9900ks stand a chance. Overclock your i9900 is a risk voiding your warranty. Dont need fancy cooler or equipment on 3900x!

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.
