Overview
Elite performance for gamers and creatives
The AMD Ryzen 9 3900X Wraith Prism LED RGB processor (3.8 GHz / 4.6 GHz) is one of the first 7 nm PC processors to support PCIe 4.0. The third-generation Ryzen, codenamed Matisse, impresses with its 12 cores and 24 threads, a base frequency of 3.8 GHz that can be increased to 4.6 GHz, 64 MB L3 cache and 105W TDP. It comes with its ultra-efficient and quiet AMD Wraith Prism LED RGB cooling system.
AMD's Ryzen 9 3900X offers a (re)introduction to high-end performance for gaming, content creation and intensive multitasking. With its 24 threads and 70 MB GameCache , you can do EVERYTHING faster and smoother.
Zen 2 Microarchitecture
Zen 2 cores are designed to make efficient use of available resources to optimise computational performance. Compared to the previous architecture, 2X floating point capabilities and up to 15% higher instructions per cycle enable performance to reach new thresholds. Zen 2 combines performance for next-generation applications with optimal energy efficiency.
12 native cores and 24 logical cores
The AMD Ryzen 9 3900X desktop processor offers 12 native and 24 logical cores for smooth multitasking. Thanks to its high native frequency and its Turbo Core mode, the third-generation AMD Ryzen CPU delivers exceptional performance in gaming, intensive multitasking, video editing, 3D modeling and more. The 64MB L3 cache also enables ultra-fast processing of large numbers of instructions with low latency.

too good
but i ryzen 9 3900x it heats up a lot so buy some good fansoooooo
I'm really worried about it.Review automatically translated -

Excellent CPU
High performance processor.
Beware, it heats up a lot, the ventirad sold with it is a little bit too small for my case (Thermaltake Level 20 VT). I will invest in an AIO watercooling kit.Review automatically translated -

Racing beast
The top of the line processor. I virtualize a lot, and this proc is very comfortable with its 24 threads. I recommend

Ryzen 9 3900X for an impressive workload
What can I say except that this processor exceeds all my expectations, an impressive workload capacity for video, photo, graphics,...
In gaming, it's just not necessary to have such a big processor, a Ryzen 7 3700X or the new Ryzen 7 3800XT would totally do the trick for less money, and frankly even a 3600 will do the trick for much less money and will never be at 100% load no matter what you do, except stress test and other 3Dmark bench etc.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a 3600, but I'm sure it's a good idea to buy a 3600, and I'm sure it's a good idea to buy a 3600.
But then again I've been at it for years.
I'm taking off one star because with watercooling, I expected a cooler processor, in idle, once the fans are well adjusted, it is already in the 48°-55°.
In workload it goes to 68°-72°.
In game, it stays in the 60° range.
So it doesn't get high in temperature but in idle I find its temperature is abnormally high, I've scoured the forums and it looks normal.
Anyway, if you don't want to spend so much for not much, I'd advise you to aim for 100-200€ less and go for a Ryzen 5 or 7, you'll play ultra everything and it will heat up less (I think).
But for heavy workloads this is a processor that exceeds all my expectations.Review automatically translated -

Excellent processor
Excellent processor for applications and games.
Install on a X570 Aorus Master motherboard with 4x4GB of DDR4 from Aorus and a Be Quiet Dark Rock 4 to cool it.Review automatically translated -

Perfect
Coupled with a Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master CM and 32GB of G.Skill 3200Mhz CL14 RAM I had some difficulty at the beginning but now all is well I should even say very well!
Once stabilized, the AMD Master and Gigabyte Easy Tune software make the job easier.
Thanks again to the LDLC team.Review automatically translated -

A power monster, bios to be optimised
This processor impresses with its power. It excels for mixed use, i.e., in my case, for 3D and video creation, as well as for gaming. AMD offers a very successful product: powerful, stable, with a fairly well controlled power consumption (to be optimized via the bios), all for a very aggressive price compared to the competition.
For information: the 3900X heats up excessively with the default settings of the bios, due to a too high applied voltage. After undervolting (down to about -0.1V!!!), the processor is maintained at much more acceptable temperatures while facilitating overclocking.Review automatically translated -

Very mixed!
Perfect processor.
Cooler not very efficient! Even in manual mode it heats up too much.
At 50% load it goes up to 65-70°.
So a good cooler is to be planned (foresee all the same a TDP of 200W
The most expensive is not the best. See some very expensive coolers are too weak.Review automatically translated -

Performing
This processor is a beast. First time I've seen 2400% CPU consumption under htop.
No problems with the installation, read the instructions well to install the fan, thermal paste is already present on the fan.Review automatically translated
