AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core, 16-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Wraith Prism LED Cooler

Summary: If you want a mid-range machine that's future proof for at least the next few years, this fits the bill nicely. Get a chip that trades blows with an i9-9900K for $200 less and uses less power doing it. Yes, Intel's higher clock speed will allow it to be faster at certain workloads & games, but it's usually not by much. Regarding gaming, if you're running at 1080p or 1440p and not running a top of the line video card, the difference between the 3700x and 9900K is negligible. For workstation use, it's a no brainer, unless you want to up to a 3900x. Building computers and keeping up to date with all the latest hardware is my hobby and second job. I was an AMD guy back in the Athlon XP & Athlon 64 days, but once it was Sandy Bridge vs Buldozer, there was basically no reason to go AMD. For years, I built basically nothing but Intel Machines. Ryzen's intro was exciting to me, AMD is now competitive again! But other than a couple of builds for people, I skipped the first 2 generations. Now, Gen 2 chips are cheap, and Gen 3 chips can not only hold there own, but often outperform Intel in many tasks, sometimes even gaming! And even when they loose, it's not by much. So the 3700x gives great performance for the money, but what about stability and easy of setup? Well, it's nearly as good as Intel. Regarding stability, I'd say their fantastic as long as you avoid AMD Video Card drivers, which are a bit flaky at the moment. But with an Nvidia card, rock stable. Now, I said nearly as good as intel due to the drivers, BIOS updates, and power and voltage situation. For most current intel systems, the platform is so mature that everything generally just works out of the box. No drivers or power plans required, Windows 10 knows what to do with the platform. But with AMD Zen 2, there are potential issues on older chip-sets and not being able to boot without BIOS updates, performance issues with older BIOS updates, etc. On top of that, you really want to get the chip-set drivers & power plans to have the best configuration. None of this is hard, but Intel is already so integrated into Windows 10. But with Ryzen gaining market-share at their current pace, integration and optimization will be there soon. Most of the time, you want to build a balanced system. Here are my CPU suggestions based on price points (Approximations) $500 to $800 builds: 1600X AF (Which is basically a 2600X) $800 to $1300 Builds: 3600 $1200 to $2500 Builds: 3700X $1800 to $3400 Builds: 3900X $2500+ Builds: $3950X My wife and I rebuild our gaming systems this past Holiday season. Here's my latest rig with this chip: Processor: AMD 3700X Video Card: Nvidia GTX 1070 (used) RAM: 32GB G-Skill Dual Channel 3600Mhz CAS16 Motherboard: MSI X570 Carbon (Good For 3800X and below, VRMs may run hot on 3900X and above) Sound: Sound Blaster Z SSD: 1GB A-DATA SX8200 Pro & 2x 2TB Crucial (1100 & MX500) PSU: Seasonic 750W Gold Case: Fractal Design Define C CPU Cooler: Noctua DH-15 Fans: 4x 140mm Noctua AF-14 & 1x 120mm Noctua AF-12 Gaming and productivity have been fantastic with no issues. I really want more GPU power, but I'm waiting for the prices to come down for Nvidia or for AMD to get their driver act together. GTX 1070s can be had for under $200 used, and compare well to GTX 1660 Supers (We got ours before this was an option). If you have the money The 2070 S would be my go to. I could have invested the cost of the expensive fans and CPU cooler to a faster video card or 3900x, but having a system that's quiet, cool, and fast is important to me. Here's to hoping Ryzen continues down this path!

Bra processor för pengarna. Fungerar bra med Asus Aura Sync.

Hier voor had ik een i5 en ik wist niet zeker of ik voor een Intel i7 of voor AMD zou gaan. Toch de sprong gemaakt en ben zeer aangenaam verrast. Dit is een geweldige gaming-CPU! Ik zie niet eens de noodzaak in om dit ding te OC. Blijft koel, zelfs in turbo en tijdens het gamen. Ik speelde D2 in 4K, en deze CPU had slechts 35% belasting op alle 8 cores. Goed gedaan AMD, ik ben officieel een fan!

長らくインテル派でしたが、Ryzenの高効率性に惚れ込み、一度は使ってみたいと思っていました。 メーカーが違っても実際のパソコン操作に大きな変化が生まれるわけではないので、自作の際にソケットが違ってクーラーの取り付け方に試行錯誤するくらいです。 爆速とはいえませんが、エンコードやゲームでも十分な処理能力で満足です。

Purchased 2 for myself and my fiances new PCs. Both running very well. Hers is using the included Wraith Prism cooler which seems fine and she loves the RGB. Default fan curve is horrendous, but once adjusted runs a little warm but reasonably quiet. Mine has a Noctua D15 and runs very cool and inaudible. Performance and value for price paid is excellent. Alongside the 3600 this is still one of the best bang for buck around. Would recommend.

Ryzen 3700x Montado en ASUS Crosshair VII y con 16gb de gskill 3600, voy a valorar lo que me ha parecido este procesador. En si ha dado un buen paso en comparación al 2700x que es el que tenía anteriormente, de media sobre 10/20 fps a los juegos que normalmente juego, no entrare a valorar con otros juegos que nunca he usado, en multitarea la verdad que también he notado algo de mejoría respecto al 2700x. En cuanto a compatibilidad con la memoria, de momento no he tenido ningún problema en ponerlas a 3600, también decir que justo me ha llegado cuando han sacado el micro código AGESA 1.0.0.3AB para Asus, pero también me he encontrado con algún, pero, que ahora los comentare. Hacer OC ahora mismo con las bios que hay es bastante absurdo, saca bastante mas rendimiento en modo auto y con el PBO, pero también tiene algunas cosas que no me han gustado, por ejemplo el Voltaje se dispara, AMD ya ha salido diciendo que es normal, pero para mi gusto demasiado alto, tiene picos que casi llegan a 1.5v, luego las temperaturas dentro de Windows si no se activa el modo Balanceo de RYZEN son bastante altas, estamos hablando de una media de 50º y eso que voy con liquida custom, con la actualización del chipset y el modo balanceo la cosa ya cambia, esta en idle sobre 38º, en full carga alcanza sobre los 70º también por el alto voltaje que hay, espero que en poco tiempo mejoren este aspecto como en las anteriores generaciones. En cuanto si vale la pena coger la plataforma X570, en mi opinión por el precio que tiene si no es que necesitas el PCIE 4.0 mas vale coger una B450 o X470 y el dinero que sobra invertirlo en otro apartado. El apartado que menos me ha gustado, también hay que decir que depende del fabricante ahora mismo, es en el apartado de BIOS, apenas puedes tocar muchas cosas, dado que a la mínima ya no arranca, lo mejor a día de hoy estando como están la BIOS que se tienen que pulir es dejarlo en modo AUTO el apartado del procesado. Resumiendo, me parece una gran procesador y AMD ha vuelto hacer un producto muy competitivo, pero con precios ajustados, aun no hace ni un mes que han salido y bueno creo que las bios las tienen que pulir aun bastante, espero que para setiembre ya estén bien pulidas y poder aun exprimir mas el potencial de este procesador, a medida que vayan mejorando iré subiendo que tal va la mejora. EDITO: Justo ayer sacaron nueva BIOS y nuevo código de chipset, ahora ya he podido tocar parte del overclock, decir que en el tema voltajes aun me hace extraños o no mide muy bien la temperatura pero con el tema de OC en BIOS ahora va perfecto, he conseguido poner en nada las rams a 3600 con cl 16-16-15-15-32-42 y uns subtimings bastante bajos, el procesador lo he subido hasta 4.3Mhz con un voltaje de 1.280v no obstante las temperaturas me siguen exactamente igual, solo bajan las temperaturas a rangos normales cuando el procesador lo dejo en stock y si PBO ni nada, el stock del mismo son 3600Mhz todo lo que pase de allí las temperaturas se disparan, supongo que tienen que pulir aun mas los microcódigos y las bios, pero de momento van bien encaminados, cuando pongan otro cambio volveré a editar.
