AMDRyzen Threadripper 3960X 24-Core, 48-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor

Who actually needs 24 cores? ... not me, but this thing is fast. It will exceed anything I ask of it. They are power hungry but throttle back to the demand of CPUs.

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.

I Got this last week. I own a threadripper 3970x But. that is more costly then this one so I decided to buy this for my second threaddripper build. I used the same Asus mother board. I used the same be quiet air cooled cpu cooler. I went with the same 500gb Aorus nvme 2 ssd. I used a corsair rm850x psu and 8 sticks of hyperx 16gb ram for a total of 128gb ram. I mine with this machine Xmr/monero this machine cost me a lot less then my 3970x build.Which is same motherboard ,same cooler, same nvme ssd. I am happy with this after 10-14 days of running it is nice.this machine does 21-22k hash ratethe more expensive machine does 27-28k hash rate.this build. was 35% cheaper. and I get 25% less hash not 35% less so this has more value.

A bit pricy, but at the end of the day, you get what you pay for. It is hot. I use an EVGA 360mm cooler. Which keeps it between 45 and 50C at idle, but under 100% all core stress, the temp limit of 95C is hit. Not sure if that's because there is not enough capacity in the cooler, or the paste isn't sufficient, or the heat sink isn't a good match for the size of the CPU. Not a fault of AMD, but something to consider when purchasing.

Processor worked out great however the seller failed to mention that didn’t come with the rise and thread ripper tool. It didn’t have it very well described on the website. The seller did however refund me $25 to make up for the missing tool so I could purchase one online to be able to install my processor.

This item is not new in box as listing shows.Item comes in a generic package with no amd labels. I would purchase elsewhere

I've had the 24 core version since June '21 in my own custom 128GB workstation build. I've pegged it out many times all 24 cores humming away at rendering 3D scanner files in minutes rather than hours and hours. Fun to watch the action on NZXT system monitor as the Threadripper cranks away.Since last December I dove in to AI art with Stable Diffusion-XL. Now the workload has shifted over to my RTX-4000 vid card and is now getting pegged out rather than the Threadripper since AI is geared towards the parallel processing power of graphics cards. Normal 1024 renders in about 15 to 20 seconds. However, when I found a suitable AI workflow to generate rotated 3D images only then did SDXL employ the muscle of the Threadripper to almost 60% rather than 5 to 10% for normal renders. Rotated 3D images took about 70 seconds.Stable Diffusion now offers AI video and SDXL Turbo. Judging from past performance with current AI 3D rotations and morphs to 3D scan render technology, I have complete confidence the 3960X is up to the task when SDXL serves it a load.

Arrived well packaged. It was in working order upon arrival.
