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

I was wanting to upgrade to a 5900x, but in here in early 2021, they are hard to come by or are way over MSRP. If you CAN get a 5900x for $550, spend the extra money for it (and more $ for a cooler) and get a better processor. Whether you are better off with a 5800x or this 3900x will depend on what you are doing, but for me, the 3900x was a solid choice, comes WITH an okay cooler, and is ACTUALLY in stock. Im using this for DaVinci Resolve, Blender, Marvelous Designer and other programs, and all the happy cores are much appreciated. Oh, if you are using older versions of Blender, Blender 2.92 and newer does a much better job at multi-threading than it used to. If you are RENDERING in Blender, rather than doing simulations, then a good GPU is much better for that work load. But, yeah, getting a good GPU in early 2021 is and even bigger pain. All in all, this is a solid low end workstation CPU without having to go crazy on Epyc or Threadripper, and is a good bang for the buck.

Used for mining Crypto. Also for daily use. Amazing multicore keeps everything running.

Probably the motherboard giving me problems not the CPU. My 8086 was faster. 1990 CPU

I wanted to start out by saying I have been anticipating this cpu for a while and patiently waiting and AMD has made me a believer.

This CPU can handle all you throw at it. Wanna play a game and have your work in background, even several web servers running at the same time? This one got your back.

Leider fast gar nicht verfügbar. Ich habe ihn für 630 gekauft was momentan sogar ein Schnäppchen wäre. Ansonsten Top Leistung bis darauf das der Boost-Tackt nie erreicht wurde wenn ich das System 10h überwacht habe.

Ive had this CPU for a few months now. And i cant complain it does tasks well. My only issue is i get frame rate drops randomly sometimes. When playing games like escape from tarkov. Or especially modern warfare. I normally run at 120fps for both games smooth as butter. But sometimes they drop as low as 30fps and i gotta reset my game. Im running a evga 3070 xc3 ultra. And i know its not my card. My card is amazing. Best card ever. So im not sure what the deal is. But long story short i would have researched more reviews in the long run.

I purchased this CPU as I do a lot of video editing and the more cores the better for what I do. This chip is very fast!

Despite the 3950X being superior and also being a good value for what you get, this ultimately was the better option for me since it was cheaper. And I was lucky enough to find it for $499 when it was in stock.

absolute insanity coming from a 2500k > this
