AMD - Ryzen 9 3900X 3rd Generation 12-core - 24-Thread - 3.8 GHz (4.6 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 Unlocked Desktop Processor

I am new to PC Building and did a lot of research before venturing into building one and I am so glad I did; extremely happy with the outcome and proud to own one as this is the fastest PC that I have ever experienced let alone building one. This PC mainly intended for work(due to COVID-19 WFH) and for occasional gaming. This CPU is a beast in performance and can perform really well when paired with the right PC components. AMD 3rd Gen Ryzen processors are picky about RAM specs and using the ones optimzed for the X570 Motherboard (such as below) with right clock speed and network latency it does really well and the end result is a work horse. My PC runs super fast. I have not done any benchmarks yet; and am strictly speaking from a personal experience: MS office apps like word, excel just open up in a second without any lag or delay even the biggest powerpoint/excel/Word doc just opens up in a snap literally in less than 2s. For ex: I was able to install MS office from a 3.4 GB file in less than 30s tops; and the longest step in the entire process was entering the license key :) Inspite of opening several apps, multiple browser windows and playing heavy duty games like Troy,FORTNITE, Remnant, HITMAN the system still functioned very well without any lag. I have been an Intel guy for the last 20 years and this Ryzen CPU is a great leap in performance; highly recommend if you are serious about performance and have the budget for it ;) My full config is as below: Fractal Design Meshify Mini C Tempered Glass (white) Motherboard: MSI MAG X570 Tomahawk (Wifi) CPU: AMD Ryzen 3900X RAM: G.Skill Trident Z Neo Series 32GB PC4-28800 DDR4 3600MHz CL16-19-19-39 Model F4-3600C16D-32GTZNC HDD: Samsung (MZ-V7S1T0B/AM) 970 EVO Plus SSD 1TB - M.2 NVMe PSU: Gamemax 850W Gold+ GPU: ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2060 Super Advanced Overclocked EVO 8G GDDR6 Gaming Graphics Card (ROG-STRIX-RTX2060S-A8G-EVO-GAMING)

I purchased this as an upgrade to my previous Ryzen 2700x CPU, and it's a huge improvement. More cores for encoding video and processing images and higher clock speeds. It actually scored higher in some benchmark tests than my 16 core Threadripper system. I've also noticed higher frame rates when gaming as well, so that's a bonus. It does get a bit warm and while the include HSF is adequate, I would recommend a better solution like an AIO water cooler, and make sure that your case has good ventilation and air flow. All in all, I'd highly recommend it if you do any kind of CPU intensive work or you're a hard core gamer. You won't be disappointed!

Doesn’t feel any faster than my 5930k in everyday tasks. Although when it comes to gaming or anything that demands a heavy work load from a processor this thing slays!! I couldn’t believe that my overclovked 6 core processor was bottlenecking my 2080ti but it was. Frames in most games have gone up by at least 20% over my 5930k. I do have 64g of memory now as well instead of 16g with my old setup. If you’re still up in the air over getting this cpu, get it you won’t regret it.

This little processor has changed the face of gaming PCs and High End Desktops all over the globe. The only processors Intel has, able to keep up, are their $1,500 “server” processors. This deal simply cannot be beat. It’s no just this humble designer/gamers opinion either. It’s become official. The #1 Best Desktop Processor in the World- your looking at it. •drops the mike•

April of 2020 was going to become my introduction to the AMD processor platform, having upgraded from a personal i7-4790k PC originally put together in 2015. Right out of the gates, the Ryzen 9 3900X blew away my expectations and has converted me into a die-hard fan of AMD. Great CPU for gaming, content creation, and streaming. It might be a little bit on the more expensive side but this is among the top enthusiasts-grade CPU's on the market.

This thing is a BEAST! I got this to rebuild my old monster AMD unit that originally sported the infamous FX9590 5.0ghz nuclear reactor of a CPU. It only took 6 years, but finally, something has interested me enough to force an upgrade. That something is the 3900X. As you can all probably guess, this thing blows the old 9590 out of the water. Plus, I don’t need to nearly burn down my house to do so! I’m mainly using it to render cineform 5.6k 360 video, and it does it with ease. Temps never exceed 80c with my 240mm AIO, even under heavy load and stress tests. I’ve had no issues running premiere pro, fusion360, and simplify3d all at once. If you are doing any type of creative or production work, I highly recommend this CPU!

As a lifelong Intel fanboy, I bought this CPU to be the centerpiece of my new build. The performance is everything you could hope for and then some. Attached is a benchmark of my build including this processor with stock speeds. As you can see, the CPU is at the top of the charts.

this things great and for all of you worried about the chipset it works fine on a x370 board I have a gigabyte x370 board you will need to make sure to see if you have the latest bios update from your board manufacturer and that they say it will support it Gigabyte GA-AX370m-DS3H G.Skill F4-3200C14D- 16GTZRX times 2 ( 32gb ) total msi RTX 2080 Samsung 970 pro 512 nvme m.2 sata corsair RM850X CORSAIR - K70 RGB MK.2 LOW PROFILE RAPIDFIRE Wired Gaming Mechanical CHERRY MX Speed Switch Keyboard with RGB Back Lighting
