A real treat!
It's great to have 32 cores in Blender, Unreal Engine etc...
This CPU is a bit like having a 'badass' friend who you can always count on to solve problems.
I'm really pleased!

Expensive but really powerful
For standard applications (office automation, games, etc.) this processor is largely oversized. I use its high capacities (32 threads) mainly for video processing on CPU and transcoding, and more secondarily for compilation. Without any particular overclocking it can be pushed to 5 GHz in monothread. At 100% occupancy it "caps" at 4.3 GHz (225 W of power consumption), the calculations required are completed quickly. This makes it a power monster, ideal for a low-cost workstation. In short, the performance is good and corresponds to the high price of the CPU.
As others have pointed out, it gets significantly hotter when used intensively - don't neglect the cooling. I put a Noctua NH-U14S in it which does the job very well. With it, the package does not exceed 80°C in heavy use, but can still get close to 90°C in a stress test.Review automatically translated -

The ultimate processor!
I received the processor and mounted it on an ASUS CROSSHAIR VIII IMPACT motherboard. I installed a custom EKWB watercooling in my micro ATX case.
Idle: 35°c
Load: average 55°c (peak at 65°c).
The processor can handle anything without plugging in, I mainly bought this one for gaming. I had a Ryzen 9 3900X before this one and I notice a significant performance gain in gaming and low access times, especially since I benefit from Smart Access Memory and Rage mode with my 6900XT graphics card to take advantage of the best AMD performance.
I can only recommend it!Review automatically translated -

GREAT!
overclocked to 4.5ghz 1.20v
no more than 66 degrees with custom watercooling.
This is a change from the ryzen 3000 series.Review automatically translated
