Excellent and high performance CPU

Brilliant. Replaced an aging i5 6600k. A few of my apps are dependant on threads, I've gone from 4 to 16! I researched quite a few Ryzen processors, this certainly came out as one that gives best "bang for buck"

Will ways buy from ccl and will always use ryzen

Amazing performance and great value for what you getting.

Great product and price

Easy to install in new build although I did not use the good quality included fan. I had not realised how good this was and had bought an alternate fan designed for minimum noise

Great CPU for the price, as long as you don't need GPU

Upgraded from a 1700X afflicted with the 'performance marginality' issue, but had to use a beta bios for this to boot. At the time it was only slightly more expensive than the 3700X. Compile times are much better. All core boost ends up being 4.2-4.3, and low-core boost 4.6ish. The chip claims to run hot compared to the 1700x, but doesn't seem to heat up the coolant. I've redone the waterblock three times but no change so I think it's just reporting different values to before.

Great CPU, with added value for money in the from of a fairly decent RGB cpu cooler included. Compatible with PCIe 4.0 where equivalent intel CPUs currently are not.

So easy to overclock my first amd chip was a bit old school with the pins on the chip but was ok to mount had a little bit of a shake on

Great processor, got it for a fanstic price also good quality silicon cant complain.

Excellent CPU, replaced my old Intel i7-6800K, the only downside being the loss of the Intel Raid facility

Can't fault it so far. A huge step up from my 2600 but might not be worth the extra money over the 3700x

Okay well I gave this 3/5 for value because as we all probably know, the 3700X is the much better buy and this cpu offers nothing above that one. But still, I purchased this and for everything I do, it's amazing. I upgraded from a 4930k which is a 5 year old CPU so your increase in performance might not be the same as mine unless you also upgrade from a much older CPU. For gaming, this is fantastic. Hands down one of the best CPUs you can buy right now. 8 cores and 16 threads will handle anything you throw at it. One minor gripe is that is never hits it's boost clock. AMD stated the boost for this cpu is 4.5ghz but under single core scenarios, it hits 4.3ghz and under all core 4.15ghz, well under its rated boost. This is with the included Wraith RGB cooler which kept it under 75c. Even with Ryzen master, pbo, and the Ryzen power plan, I couldn't get it to hit over 4.1 on all cores. A shame really as this cpu is so powerful at 4.1, I'd love to hit 4.5. As for overclocking, with Ryzen it's a bit hit and miss. Stay at stock and all core won't boost much but single will and if you overclock, all core boosts higher but you lose single core performance compared to stock. So maybe in the future, I'll upgrade the cooler and overclock it but for now, I have no choice but to stay at stock.
