    Got this cpu when it was on sale. This thing is a beast. I paired it with an RTX 3090 TI and my build has been a beast.

    I'll keep this short and concise. If you can manage to get one, this thing is amazing especially with AMD's curve optimizer. With it, I am able to get consistent single core boosts above 5ghz (5.3ghz at one point)! Multi core performance is also great. Do note that there's a rumored Zen3+ so you can also wait for that.
