Summary: If you want a mid-range machine that's future proof for at least the next few years, this fits the bill nicely. Get a chip that trades blows with an i9-9900K for $200 less and uses less power doing it. Yes, Intel's higher clock speed will allow it to be faster at certain workloads & games, but it's usually not by much. Regarding gaming, if you're running at 1080p or 1440p and not running a top of the line video card, the difference between the 3700x and 9900K is negligible. For workstation use, it's a no brainer, unless you want to up to a 3900x. Building computers and keeping up to date with all the latest hardware is my hobby and second job. I was an AMD guy back in the Athlon XP & Athlon 64 days, but once it was Sandy Bridge vs Buldozer, there was basically no reason to go AMD. For years, I built basically nothing but Intel Machines. Ryzen's intro was exciting to me, AMD is now competitive again! But other than a couple of builds for people, I skipped the first 2 generations. Now, Gen 2 chips are cheap, and Gen 3 chips can not only hold there own, but often outperform Intel in many tasks, sometimes even gaming! And even when they loose, it's not by much. So the 3700x gives great performance for the money, but what about stability and easy of setup? Well, it's nearly as good as Intel. Regarding stability, I'd say their fantastic as long as you avoid AMD Video Card drivers, which are a bit flaky at the moment. But with an Nvidia card, rock stable. Now, I said nearly as good as intel due to the drivers, BIOS updates, and power and voltage situation. For most current intel systems, the platform is so mature that everything generally just works out of the box. No drivers or power plans required, Windows 10 knows what to do with the platform. But with AMD Zen 2, there are potential issues on older chip-sets and not being able to boot without BIOS updates, performance issues with older BIOS updates, etc. On top of that, you really want to get the chip-set drivers & power plans to have the best configuration. None of this is hard, but Intel is already so integrated into Windows 10. But with Ryzen gaining market-share at their current pace, integration and optimization will be there soon. Most of the time, you want to build a balanced system. Here are my CPU suggestions based on price points (Approximations) $500 to $800 builds: 1600X AF (Which is basically a 2600X) $800 to $1300 Builds: 3600 $1200 to $2500 Builds: 3700X $1800 to $3400 Builds: 3900X $2500+ Builds: $3950X My wife and I rebuild our gaming systems this past Holiday season. Here's my latest rig with this chip: Processor: AMD 3700X Video Card: Nvidia GTX 1070 (used) RAM: 32GB G-Skill Dual Channel 3600Mhz CAS16 Motherboard: MSI X570 Carbon (Good For 3800X and below, VRMs may run hot on 3900X and above) Sound: Sound Blaster Z SSD: 1GB A-DATA SX8200 Pro & 2x 2TB Crucial (1100 & MX500) PSU: Seasonic 750W Gold Case: Fractal Design Define C CPU Cooler: Noctua DH-15 Fans: 4x 140mm Noctua AF-14 & 1x 120mm Noctua AF-12 Gaming and productivity have been fantastic with no issues. I really want more GPU power, but I'm waiting for the prices to come down for Nvidia or for AMD to get their driver act together. GTX 1070s can be had for under $200 used, and compare well to GTX 1660 Supers (We got ours before this was an option). If you have the money The 2070 S would be my go to. I could have invested the cost of the expensive fans and CPU cooler to a faster video card or 3900x, but having a system that's quiet, cool, and fast is important to me. Here's to hoping Ryzen continues down this path!

This is by far the best computer processor I have ever used, it is fast and powerful. I have used it for 3D modeling, video editing, and gaming; It has surpassed all my expectations. Although AMD is releasing new processors soon, this model is still very strong and at a great price, which may drop post 5000 release. The only problem I had with this processor was not the CPU itself, but the RGB Wraith Cooler. There are so many problems with this cooler that I can't recommend it. Yes, it works and I am in fact still using mine because I didn't budget for one, but I do plan on replacing it soon. Here is everything I found wrong with it: - It is a pain to install, especially for beginners. Rather than opting for screws or push pins, AMD designed a strange hook mechanism that is absolutely terrible. When installing the cooler, it feels like everything is going to break, and although I know I installed it correctly it didn't feel right. - It is LOUD! It's not unbearable, but it is annoying. Any time I open up a new app or do something that puts a tiny strain on the CPU, the Wraith speeds up a lot. - The RGB is a mess! The Prism Wraith has 3 individual RGB lights: the fan, the ring, and the logo. HOWEVER, only the fan can be controlled with external software (AURA SYNC, iCue, etc). If you wish to control all three LEDs, you have to use a separate app from Cooler Master, which requires you to attach a separate cable to one of your internal USB headers. Not to mention, you cannot use the Cooler Master software at the same time as another program, and they are not compatible. So you can either control just the fan LED, or you can control all three with a USB cable and sucky Cooler Master bloatware. - The cooling isn't very good. At idle it is fine, but gaming or using heavy software it just doesn't keep up very well. TL:DR - Buy this CPU if you need a good CPU and you don't want to wait for 5000, but budget for a better cooler the Wraith is very disappointing.

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X is an exceptional processor that truly delivers on all fronts. Built on the 7nm Zen 2 architecture, it offers incredible performance per watt, making it both powerful and energy-efficient. With 8 cores and 16 threads, it tears through multithreaded tasks like rendering, video editing, and compiling code with ease. In gaming, the 4.4 GHz max boost clock ensures smooth frame rates, even in CPU-intensive titles. The Wraith Prism LED cooler is a surprisingly solid stock cooler. Not only does it keep the temperatures in check during extended gaming sessions or heavy workloads, but the RGB lighting adds a nice aesthetic touch to the build. Running at stock settings, the CPU rarely hits more than 70°C, even under load, which is impressive for a cooler that comes bundled at this price point. For the price-to-performance ratio, this processor is hard to beat. The unlocked multiplier allows for easy overclocking if you're looking to push performance further, but even at stock settings, it's an absolute beast. Whether you're a gamer, a content creator, or just someone who needs a powerful CPU for multitasking, the Ryzen 7 3700X hits that sweet spot of value and capability.

Hier voor had ik een i5 en ik wist niet zeker of ik voor een Intel i7 of voor AMD zou gaan. Toch de sprong gemaakt en ben zeer aangenaam verrast. Dit is een geweldige gaming-CPU! Ik zie niet eens de noodzaak in om dit ding te OC. Blijft koel, zelfs in turbo en tijdens het gamen. Ik speelde D2 in 4K, en deze CPU had slechts 35% belasting op alle 8 cores. Goed gedaan AMD, ik ben officieel een fan!

長らくインテル派でしたが、Ryzenの高効率性に惚れ込み、一度は使ってみたいと思っていました。 メーカーが違っても実際のパソコン操作に大きな変化が生まれるわけではないので、自作の際にソケットが違ってクーラーの取り付け方に試行錯誤するくらいです。 爆速とはいえませんが、エンコードやゲームでも十分な処理能力で満足です。

Upgrading from Intel Core i3 4130 @ 3.4 Ghz (2c/4t) processor. Bought this on Amazon's Great Indian Festival for 28k (no offers though). I work on Visual Studio (Development) and a couple of VMs along with these the usual set of Chromium tabs & Spotify. Sometimes I do some video editing. Not into gaming much for that I have a Xbox One S which is quite ok for occasional/rare 1080p gaming. I was blown away by the performance difference, I mean I could feel the snappiness, the power while opening the apps or code compilation or maybe running local web projects. Also, it comes with an amazing Wrait Prism cooler. A little something about the cooler, this was something not expected in a stock cooler. This cooler has headers for which can be connected to the motherboard for controlling the LEDs, the cables are supplied with the cooler. The cooler has a lever system as the locking mechanism and requires a little pressure when it is installed. Specs - Motherboard - Gigabyte Aorus B550 Pro AC (Support for AMD 5000 series Processors) RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws V DDR4 8Gb 3200Mhz (F4-3200C16S-8GVKB) x 1 (would upgrade later) PSU - Corsair VS650W GPU - Gigabyte GeForce GT 710 2GB DDR5 (Perfectly splendid for display) The thing is, next gen AMD processors have been launched and this is an outdated product. Assuming the market trend in India, I believe it would be launched overpriced. Maybe a couple of months for the price to come down. So if you are not in a hurry then Iwait for the next gen, but I would like to say that this CPU is no slouch, it is meant for serious business. It won't dissapoint for the next couple of years. Thanks for reading.

Purchased 2 for myself and my fiances new PCs. Both running very well. Hers is using the included Wraith Prism cooler which seems fine and she loves the RGB. Default fan curve is horrendous, but once adjusted runs a little warm but reasonably quiet. Mine has a Noctua D15 and runs very cool and inaudible. Performance and value for price paid is excellent. Alongside the 3600 this is still one of the best bang for buck around. Would recommend.
