    Can do more mining of monero then the 3900x does. I purchased it to do crypto mining it was a bit pricey but all in all good for me. I ended up selling it and getting a thread ripper instead.

    Upgrading from a 6th gen i5 this has loads of power. Took me a while to find a cooler for it but I have it running for class and work simulations and it does everything.

    Competitive price for the performance level. Product works well enough, but do pay attention to your processor cooling. You'd need either a dual tower, 240mm+ AIO or custom loop to avoid thermal throttling.

    It worked great till it failed for no reason after 2 months. AMD replaces it without any problem but it took a month for the RMA to complete. The new one isn’t as fast as the first but it’s been going longer.

    Great processer but mine Failed after one year of use. I Build PC's for a living, so when my system died, I assumed it had something to do with the hardware. I replaced the mobo, psu, and every part of the computer, its been months in RMA's, only to find out that this is one of 3 CPU's I have ever seen fail. I could be unlucky, but Its more likely they are less stable or more sensitive under heavy use cases.
