5950X is amazing

Upgraded from a 3800X this CPU is amazing, it overclocks well. i have pushed it to 5.0GHz but it is dialed back to around 4.6-4.8GHz Upgraded to a Corsair H150i Elite LCD display AIO Cooler 360MM to help cool this beast as well. idles at 35-38C and at loads during games or work im at 40-65C depending on % of CPU used. Great purchase and great price!!!

Great CPU

After the recent price drop, upgraded to this from a 3900X. Boosts higher than my old CPU in both single and multi-threaded workloads, and somehow also seems to run a bit cooler as well, although some of that may be due to using a different TIM. I'm very happy with the purchase, at this point it doesn't look like anything better is going to be released on AM4 for productivity workloads. If you're looking for the best gaming performance on the AM4 platform, it may be worth waiting for the upcoming 5800X3D.

No graphics, all performance

Great CPU, delivers what you'd expect from the highest spec'ed processor for the AM4 socket. Though not having integrated graphics, it more than makes up for that in its raw performance.

Plenty of cores for larger workloads.

Fair price came as described product is being used in a heavy workload machine should do what I need! Haven't been disappointed with AMD since switching over 5 years or so ago when it comes to CPUs

Worth Every Penny For Powerful Workstation Performance

After two years of using a Ryzen 7 2700X as my workstation's heart, it was time to step up to something more powerful. I'm a professional web designer. As a result, I require a lot of multitasking performance for a wide variety of work tasks, from graphic design to keeping five browsers going with many tabs each to working with video files. The Ryzen 9 3900X gave me a huge performance bump over my 2700X, was a drop-in upgrade for my ASUS motherboard, and I could not be happier with the performance! I could not be happier! And thank you to Adorama for getting it to me the next day with standard shipping!

You won't regret it

This thing is a monster! It?s a bridge between the 3900x and Threadripper 3.I use it for work, gaming and video production. If you do any type of multi-threaded work for work or for leisure, like video editing or complex computations, this is a beast of a processor. No issues so far other than having to upgrade my CPU cooler because this chip runs very hot. Make sure your cooler can handle the temps

Ryzen 9 3950X - An Amazing Processor!

Some 20 years on, AMD is still alive and well, giving Intel a proper thrashing! 16 cores and 32 threads, stability, and processing power Intel can only dream of implementing makes this CPU one of the best investments I have made in some time. I am very happy with this purchase and the unbeatable service and support I get from Adorama.

10/10 for the price

This Amazing 12 core processor comes complete with a great cpu cooler and runs any game with ease. I set my PC up with Solid State Drives and it boots up within 10 seconds. Couldn't be more pleased with its performance and the customer service of Adorama. Your dollar is well spent with this product through this company.
