Pros: it is the best directly wired cores to memory of the 2nd gen threadripper,

Cons: gets pretty hot... very fast, can use the all the power it could take.

Overall Review: pretty nice cpu, I don't use it as it should be used. some stutters may appears from time to time, easily fixed.

Pros: Fast
Unlocked
Next Gen

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: Absolutely amazing processor...bought as an upgrade to my pc, went from the 8 core fx8350, to this and wow what a huge difference, I have yet to slow this thing down, the little package it comes in is almost too pretty to open

Pros: Building new system and wanted more than the 8 core I had for years. Was looking at the 12 core, and while I was building my Wish List the price on the 16 core dropped to close the same price as the 12 core. Installed no problem. The CPU mounting is pretty cool, and super easy, on the Threadripper. Put this on my Asus ROG strix X399-E mobo. it is smoking fast. My wife (who mocks me every time I build a new rig) turned hers on the same time I turned mine on in the office, and I was gaming before she was even in Windows, has told me I am building her one now, too :)

Cons: Make sure you read up on heat issues and cooling fans. I got a big case with tons of fans (Thor by Rosewill) and the Cooler Master MA621P CPU cooling fan.

Overall Review: Great processor. Well packaged. Awesome value for the money.

Cons: Does not come with a heat sink and the heat sinks required to keep this CPU cool are quite large.

Overall Review: Easy installation. Processor runs great.

Pros: Lots of threads, cores, and PCIe lanes. I deal for a VM Ware build.

Cons: Runs hot...90C loaded or 70C idle. Be sure to use a case with lots of air flow.

Overall Review: This chip is a beast and can take all you can throw at it. Recommend liquid cooling if you're going to over clock or run it in a hot environment.

Pros: Fast
Easy to install
Includes water cooler bracket.
No stock cooling mechanism.

Cons: Processor temperatures are inflated and not reported correctly. This is by design. Use another hardware monitor application and monitor diode temperatures.

Overall Review: This doesn't come with a stock heatsink/fan. You need to purchase some sort of cooling device. I recommend water cooling (and the bracket is included)
I would purchase this again and recommend it to others.

Pros: Rendering power
Good single thread speed
Great multi thread speed
Games well too

Cons: Threadripper 3 already on horizon and supposedly not backward compatible.

Overall Review: Using as a small workstation. I can run multiple software, crunch numbers, render video, cloud compute, and stream content with low CPU temps and no issues.

CPU manual overclocks well, but I have found setting BIOS to Auto and using Ryzen Master moving from base clock to overclock when necessary is more convenient.

My only regret is not purchaseing the 2950x

Specs: Gigabyte X399 Aorus Pro, AMD TR4 2920x, G.Skill 64GB 3200 CL16, Intel M2.2 660 2TB, Segate Ironwolf 6TB, Samsung 850pro 256 gig, Powercolor RX290 Red Devil, Corsair RM850x, Enermax Liquidtech II 360, Thermaltake View 31

Pros: - Blessed by Dr. Lisa Su
- Very user-friendly installation hardware! Wow
- Hilariously large packaging, presumably for the Instagram factor, but alas I do not use Instagram

Cons: - Putting in an expensive processor spiked my cortisol

Overall Review: :) <-- me after installing threadripper and it posts
