## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Best CPU I have had - no need for overclocking! - I am writing this review not to tell you how impressed I am by the fact that one can actually have 64 cores / 128 threads in one CPU die twice as cheap as the competition and do it gracefully, not overheating or anything like that (well, excuse my Kaby Lake that started overheating after running full load for a couple of days). I am writing to point out that one does not need to try to overclock the new generation AMD CPU's because modern motherboards compete by *safely* overclocking modern CPU's in their default mode, even in the energy saving 'ECO' mode that is! After installing my Ryzen Threadripper (3990x) I was certainly cautious whether the AIO cooling solution provided by the dedicated Corsair MasterLiquid ML360R special edition for 3990x would be adequate for this powerful CPU running at full load 24/7. So I was running test after test with different load patterns (16/32/64/96/128 threads) as well as different fan settings, with the aim of finding an elusive "sweet spot" for the 'just right cooling at minimal noise' from the fans.Eventually I also tried to overclock the CPU moderately (up to 3.6 GHz) and see how the CPU die temperature and the noise from all the fans (6 in total) would interplay. I should say, I was pretty much amazed at the result! It appeared that at default ECO settings the BIOS (i.e. the motherboard) acted like both a very efficient overclocking wizard (behind the scene; many people would not notice even) but also as a shield for the CPU not to overheat while still providing just the correct level of power for any particular load. To my big surprise(!), if I wanted to overclock manually by setting the CPU frequency precisely, I would definitely go into a dangerous regime of uncontrolled (over-) heating, albeit masked by the time it would require to manifest, depending on the frequency I opted for - the higher the frequency the shorter the time. Long story made short, If you try to overclock such a powerful CPU, beware that the BIOS will (unduly!) maintain precisely the preset frequency that you chose in the BIOS settings, no matter what - that is, irrespective of the actual load, i.e. in the idle state too! This is an easy way to unduly overheat and, by doing so, ware out the CPU beyond its actual capacity (like a battery that is never given a chance to properly recharge in full). On the contrary, if you leave it to the BIOS (motherboard) to decide on the overclocking regime depending on the actual load (by opting for the default settings), you will (a) prolong the CPU life (while staying under warranty!), (b) will be using exactly the power needed for the load at the time, (c) save some quid/dollar on your electricity bill as the wattage spent will be exactly proportional to the load your CPU (and PC) is using (i.e. the over- or under- clocking done by the motherboard). As an extra bonus, your ears (and perhaps the climate in your family) will be healthier! :) That's all I wanted share, based on my extensive tests for over two weeks of running this CPU under different loads and cooling. About the cooling regime, by the way, if you don't definitely overclock beyond what is necessary for your tasks (well, games for some), you will find that no special regime is required, just auto-tune your fans and maybe you will be able even to reduce the primary CPU (Corsair in my case) fans to run at lower speeds most of the time, unless the CPU die T goes over 70 C.
Review: The CPU that demonstrates how many decades behind the times all modern OS's and programs are. - pro: knowing any bottlenecks in system are not the CPU. Cons: Finding that almost no software, not Windows, nothing, is. capable of using the CPU past about 4 percent, because most software is HIDEOUSLY under-threaded. Pathetic to watch 1 or 2 cores do all the work while 30 or 31 others do, evidently, NOTHING. withb64 gigs of 3600MHz RAM, correctly installed in the four A channels, and a blistering fast Samsung Evo SSD, liquid cooling and twontop-line video cards, I now realize that the software is woefully, pathetically, criminally under-threaded. When you have a computer like this, the whole WORLD is the bottleneck, the black hole of speed. The low point. Your computer is a shining ray of laser light on a hill, and you look down and see all the world is lying in darkness. On the plus side, 6922 score on the Valley benchmark, at Max HD, which was, of course, GPU limited. The CPU sure wasn't breaking a sweat. I replaced the three fans on the liquid cooler with Noctua redux's and added three more to evacuate the case. As I said this CPU proves the rest of the world is the problem. It's like having a supercharged Hemi engine that has to breathe through a hole the size of a drinking strae., the hole being the lazily-developed software, that like much of the world, isciasting on last millennium's sales figures, and failing to invest the money to STAY CURRENT. Note :this includes the Big Two CAD/CAM programs.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this run facebook messenger?**
A: yes and can also run the solitaire game and minesweeper.

**Q: Does this come with a valid excuse i can provide to my wife for buying?**
A: Speedy multitasking including online shopping and delivery. I wish i could tell you it also arranges returns for your wife but it doesn't.

**Q: Will this run Duke nukem 3d in 720p?**
A: It can run Duke Nukem 3D on ultra low settings but you'll be lucky to squeeze 10 FPS out of it. You'll also likely need an AIO running liquid nitrogen to keep thermals under control.

**Q: will this processor work with the auros xtreme x399 motherboard ?**
A: No, it won't work. Don't confuse the TRX40 Aorus Xtreme with the X399 Aorus Xtreme. The latter board only supports Threadripper 1st and 2nd gen which use the X399 chipset. This 3rd gen CPU uses the new TRX40 chipset so it won't work. Check the manufacturer's website.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is an awesome product
*by L***N on 21 February 2022*

This threadripper has completely chaned my workflow. I do renders for architects and interior designers. I work with 3DS Max, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Corona renderer, V-Ray, etc., and I could never use a computer which doesn't have the power of a threadripper again. It's sped up my workflow massively and I get renders out of my computer quickly.
