    AMD - Ryzen 9 9950X3D

    I have always been an AMD fan even thopugh I have had one or two laptops that had Intel cpus in the combindwith an AMD chip but as for either building a PC or buying a prebuilt one I choose the ADM CPU over Intell anyday of the week. To be a first time user of a 3D CPU I'm very impressed with it on the speed of booting up on down to the fact of the set up in the bios of the motherboard I have it on. I bought this one to upgrade from the AMD Ryzen 9 7950x which was bough back in 2022 don't get me wrong the 7950x is a great CPU and still does what I bought it for and can be used, I bought the 9950X 3d duue to wanting to stream when I'm gaming but found out the speen and the quality of the video it gives out when combind with the video card I bought to go with it I will be useing the PC it's in for gaming more than streaming. The pros ar the ease of installing on the motherboard which is so easy now the AMD came out with no pins on the CPU's (no bent pins), also the fact of being from a company that I have used fro overr ten yeasr now. The con that I have with it is the price but hey that's my fault due to not wanting to wait for the price to come down. This is absolutely a get it if you can afford it

    PSA 2 producers - not compatible w Universal Audio

    So far, this CPU has been close-to-excellent. Performance has been outstanding across both music production and gaming. The only real downside I’ve encountered is compatibility with my UAD (Universal Audio) audio interface. At the moment, I haven’t been able to get it working with this CPU. I’m aware there may be workarounds, but none have been successful so far. Hopefully this isn’t a sign of broader hardware or software compatibility issues down the line. Outside of that, everything has been extremely fast and responsive. I’m running this CPU with a high-quality AIO cooler, plenty of airflow, 64GB of DDR5 6000MHz RAM, and a high-speed SSD (up to ~14,000 MB/s). Opening applications, transferring files, and general system responsiveness are all incredibly quick. For music production, the results have been impressive. I regularly work in Ableton Live with large projects containing 40–60 audio tracks, 10–30 MIDI tracks, and heavy VSTs on the master bus. Complete projects load in about 4–5 seconds, and CPU usage typically stays in the 10–25% range. By comparison, the same projects on my M1 Pro Mac were using around 67–89% CPU and would occasionally glitch during playback. On this system, everything runs smoothly and navigating projects feels effortless. Gaming performance has also been seamless overall. I did experience a few instances where a game closed unexpectedly, but it’s unclear whether that was related to the CPU, another component, or the game/launcher itself (Steam or Call of Duty). If Universal Audio updates their drivers or software to fully support this platform, this would easily be a 5-star CPU. Not being able to use a $2,000 audio interface is frustrating, and I’d prefer not to replace it at that level. For now, I’m using a Scarlett interface, and if I need to track vocals, I’ll continue doing so on my Mac. Overall, aside from the UAD compatibility issue, this CPU has been outstanding in performance and stability.

    Smokes my 14900K

    Decided to give AMD a shot. Gave my wife my 14900K build and swapped to an AM5 build for my PC. The 9950X3d beats my 14900K in pretty much everything that I care about. While the Intel is better at some tasks, it simply runs too hot when overclocked even the slightest amount, even with a 420 AIO. While the Intel wasn't thermal throttling or anything, the difference in temps and power draw were worth the trade offs for me. I'm quite happy with this CPU.
