Excellent processor, although very good in games it especially excels at video editing/3D tasks
Great. Nothing to say. It's a CPU. There you go, I'm looking for words to fill the minimum of 100 characters.
I came from a Core i7-7700k, which had 4 cores, and decided to switch to Team Red. No regrets: easy installation, powerful on calculations. I use it for video editing and motion tracking, and the analysis and rendering are significantly faster than on the old i7.
I tried a little overclocking+undervolting following gupsterg's guide (undervolt via power supply harmonisation per core): good overclocking potential, but be careful, in this case the processor exceeds its usual TDP and heats up a lot. Undervolting helps, but you have to experiment for a long time to make sure the result is stable. In my case, I went back to automatic PBO, as I'm not looking for every last bit of performance at the moment.
The CPU is super cool, it's powerful and multitasking, which is perfect if you want a super-powerful CPU that can handle not only gaming but also other tasks.
I recommend this Ryzen 9, the benchmark for gaming and other uses. It's fast, doesn't overheat depending on the game, and is stable. I'm delighted with it, and it was well packaged.
