AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3960X 24-Core 3.8 GHz Socket sTRX4 280W Desktop Processor

Works well. Used conductonaut compound on it with a Noctua (dual fan) cooler and it runs at 60C under full load with the fans basically running silently. The huge surface area of the package probably helps.

The retail packaging is rather elaborate and seems rather more for jewellery (which it shares the price with). However the chip is delivered well protected. It is supplied with a torque wrench to ensure that the bolts locking down the holder on the mainboard are not overtightened. The chip is not supplied with a cooler, so you must find one yourself and ensure that you have the right thermal paste. For gaming it is great but possibly not the best value for money now. Where it excels are apps with lots of threads so graphics/video processing as well as AI/ML. For best performance, you need the right motherboard, I went for the Aorus TRX40 Master and the bios supported this processor out of the box

Great for video editing in DaVinci Resolve or Premiere Pro. I've noticed a good performance boost when using it to create motion graphics inside the Fusion tab of Resolve, much faster than the Intel i9 9920x I was using. It also renders out projects very fast which is great in case I need to go back and render something out again. My first AMD processor and I couldn't be happier. The only thing to look out for is the heat this thing generates, using a Noctua NH-U14S, but it's not the recommended fan cooler for this CPU. The only coolers on the recommended list for this CPU are liquid coolers to my knowledge (as of 2/22/2020). Excellent CPU, worth the $$$ and switch to AMD.

今年の二月頃に安くなっていたため購入しました。流石の圧巻の24コア48スレッド、タスクマネージャーやCinebenchを見るのがとても楽しかったです。 ただ、TDP280Wは伊達ではなく、CorsairのH100i RGB Platinumではサーマルスロットリングが発生したため、CoolermaterのWraith Ripperに買い換えました。 とても良いCPUだとは思いますが、僕みたいにロマンだけで買ってもゲームや軽い3Dモデリング程度しかしない方には正直オススメ出来ないです。動画編集等をする方にはとても良いCPUだと思います。

Exelente procesador, mejoro los tiempos de render en comparación a dos xeones 2697v3. Llego muy bien empacado y en el tiempo acordado.

Does everything it needs to do fast and efficiently. I lowered the PPT from 280Watts to 180Watts in Bios (can be done in ryzen master as well) and lost only 10% multicore performance and lost 0 single core performance for 40% less energy and heat output. Using this currently with a Noctua NH U9 TR4/SP3 cooler which only supports up to 180Watts of power. Under prime95 for a few hours all core load small FFT the temps stabilize around 80-87 Celcius. Absolute beast and quiet.
