  • WOW!
I know that in a few short years my "fast" system will eventually become a paper weight, but for right now, this is the best you can get short of the very newest intel chips. Before this I had a Ryzen 5700x, which was a solid processor, but it it's dog slow compared to this. 16 cores and 32 threads mean I can be copying files over the network, be installing dual scans on my hard drive for viruses, and playing games on my computer, all at the same time. Boot is twice as fast, and all my applications load fast and windows 11 is actually snappy and a breeze to work with. Not only that, but the advertised 4.6 ghz rating on the chip is misleading because if you are doing any kind of multithreaded application, the chip stays at around 5.2ghz. The main issue with this chip is the supposed heat range being high compared to other chips, but I've been gaming for a while and haven't hit the "optimal" temperature for the chip yet at 95 degrees centigrade. Having said that, I threw a darkrock 4 cooler on it, and it seems to be working just fine. I go with air coolers if I can, and having a GOOD cpu cooler is pretty much mandatory. Here. Let's put it this way: This computer will heat your room during winter. All in all I am very happy with the performance, and the price is reasonable. ... show more

  • Fast
Handles everything with ease works awesome for gaming fast start up times although it dose at random times hang and I have to clear the bios I don’t know if this is necessarily the MB or what

  • The best CPU I'd spend my own money on
Once I got past the problem of Amazon sending me an AMD CPU box that had the actual CPU stolen out of it, I finally got ahold of this monster and replaced an elderly Skylake build. Let me tell you, Zen 4 CPUs are... incredible. It's just jaw-dropping how much these pure 16-core/32-thread beasts can do, especially with a proper PBO configuration. Unlike the current-gen Intel consumer parts, which seem to be focusing on packing in weird "efficiency" cores and uneven performance curves, a 7950X delivers consistent, constant, gargantuan throughput across all 32 threads. I've done everything from gaming under Proton/WINE, language model merging/inference/quantization, and software development on this system in the 3 months I've had it. The 7950X has never stopped impressing me with how *incredibly* potent it is. There are workloads I used to rent AWS compute instances (at almost $2/hr!) to run, and I can take care of them in minutes on my home machine now. And gaming? Pfft! ZERO problems. Turn everything up to Ultra. I'm not going to have to think about CPU power for another 5 or 6 years, easy. I was an AMD fanboy going back to the AMD 386-20, and I've owned more AMD CPUs than Intel over the decades. But the last time I owned an AMD CPU was in the mid-2000s, an Athlon FX-57 (the last, fastest, single-core Athlon 64). Ever since then, I've been waiting for AMD to ship a "good" architecture. That finally came with Zen 3, but by the time I was ready to buy... Zen 4 was here. And BOY AM I GLAD IT IS. Long story short: if you're even *thinking* about buying the best of the consumer Zen 4 CPUs, you found it. BTW, this is the better of them, between this one and the "3D" one, for applications that are going to stress all the cores simultaneously. The way the 3D thing works looks a little bit faster on benchmarks, but when you are really putting the thing to the test, you'll be glad you went with the real thing. ... show more

  • Great CPU for a small gaming server
Running a proxmox server with a few games on it, and this thing is performing really well. I'm using it with a Kryosheet instead of thermal paste, and an Arctic Liquid Freezer II, and it never breaks a sweat with multiple game servers running concurrently (one of which is a certain now dead MMO) Also with the Motherboard I chose (Gigabyte Aorus Master) it handles 192gb RAM right out of the box ... show more

  • All I can say is BOOM!
I keep hearing 3D chip version is best for games, I can't help but think that it must be when you use the onboard video. Have mine coupled with a Nvidia 4060 TI, a MSI B650 MB, with installed win10pro and I run triple A games and desktop switch to autodesk fusion to set up my next 3d print all the while watching/listening to youtube music videos zero lag seen. Runs better than I imagined it would and it is not overclocked. I do run liquid coolers but the fans barely spin up at all. Maybe pricey, but without a doubt among the best ... show more
