Great price

Very fast with AVX-512 and other large datasets 3D Vcache gave my specific usecase a 1000% speed increase Runs quite cool at under 80C on a 47mm Copper cooler in a 2U Rackmount Chassis

Was a decent price 12/24 cores that can go above 5ghz boosted

I paired this CPU with a RTX 3080 10GB on a 1080p and I'm getting +165 FPS in arc riders epic settings.

Processor works as advertised. I have a feeling that there will be a fix soon for the gaming with either a windows or Bios update. I was right the latest bios and windows updates have improved it`s performance. Works much faster and better now.

- Extreme value vs competition in not only raw game performance but power consumption - Modern hardware has made these new product line launches a lot smoother, was an easy bios flash to a first boot into windows vs some of the mess of the initial Ryzen launch I remember with my 1700x

Super chill45°C idle, 55-63°C under load Beastlyhandles heavy tasks and gaming like a champ Silentbarely a whisper

Easy install on Asus Crosshair Extreme. Does what it's supposed to do Will stay cool with an air cooler.

I got one!

- Fast, super fast, very fast. - Worked out of the box. - Insane number of cores.

nice and fast running on a Z690 ASUS hero

Had been on 8-core CPU's for the longest time, but I found that I was multi-tasking more and more. This CPU fit the bill and it was a noticeable speed bump over my old 5800X. It was a nice middle ground as the next level up, 9950X, was beyond my budget. Plenty good enough for gaming also. Power efficiency is still good enough to stick to air cooling.

Paired with CoolerMaster MasterLiquid ML360 Illusion AIO under gaming full specs i dont exceed 80c. anything else dont exceed 50c. I really like the overall performance so far


Easy to install Thermals out of the box are good. Without overclocking Cinebench score of 39,303 multi-core, 2,229 single core, with a 17.63 MP Ratio.

Speed Price Ease of installation


Performance: Great. Installation: Easy.

If you dont like to go into your motherboard, set the proper settings for your CPU and do various software things like Xbox Game Bar and ext. If you think you only need to run the chipset drivers and memory exp timings in the motherboard, then the 9950X3D2 is for you.
