CPU works perfect, easy to install.

CPU works perfect, easy to install.

The only issue is getting accurate CPU temperatures other than using the AMD Ryzen Master software

Get familiar with the ryzen master software it has a lot of settings and a couple different performance configurations like creator or game mode

Worth it if you do video editing or 3D modeling or just love awesome tech

AMD's Precision Boost 2 basically overclocks the CPU right out of the box, just get a good cooler

- An amazing CPU cooler, but very hard to find (check Newegg)

For example, when working in HD, my Avid Symphony systems based on older i7-7700K processors actually outperform this CPU due to higher clock speeds

Also, Threadrippers are harder to cool than more mainstream processors, which can lead to throttling and slower performance, if not planned for accordingly

However, if you have high level computing tasks, or do a ton of multitasking, then this processor is a fantastic choice.

One of of the best and affordable processors money can buy

This CPU completely demolishes my Xeon based systems, for significantly less money

I received my ryzen CPU completely demolished while the other contents were fine, absolutely no safe packaging used, boss is unopened and I will be contacting amazon for a replacement, and rate after that process is complete, as you can see the picture above is what the cpu looks like without me even breaking the seal to get in, which I will not do in Hope's of getting an exchange

Please note: that you don't have to get a B-Die RAM, or C14 latency, any DDR4 should be fine
