        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.

        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!

        GREAT!

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

        Top notch CPU

        Excellent processor. Installed on ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VIII DARK HERO (C.M dedicated to this type of proco ) and GSKILL DDR4 32GB (F4-3600C16D-32GTZN) cas lat 16.16.16.36.
        Beware of heating! Provide a large well ventilated tower and a powerful watercooling (if possible custom) to get the most out of this processor.
        Do not forget ARCTIC MX-4 2019 EDITION (for ex) on all the surface of the cpu (knowing that the cores are distributed on all the core) without exaggerating however. I have placed five small dots of paste in a square + dot in the middle).

        Overclocking "nice" at 4.45ghz in multi (volt 1.23) remains very stable while keeping a boost at 4.9ghz for games (temp at 79°- 85° Max); it climbs to 5ghz in peak! No noise pollution (with custom cooling) and be quiet Silent Wings 140mm 3 140mm PWM hight speed (x 6) on the tower.
        Important note: I was able to mount this cpu at 4.35 ghz (v.1.2) in multi with a CORSAIR HYDRO SERIES H115I PRO watercooling without crashing or heating with a PBO still at 4.95ghz!

        I was able to push it to the max without crashing at 4.7ghz in multi (volt 1.3) still with Dark Hero and custom watercooling...but the temp° and the noise level go up. In the cpu lottery I was lucky !

        I live in the south of France and I waited for the temperature to rise a bit before giving an objective opinion about the heating.
        The processor is really very good, the best from AMD!

        Super proco, watch out for the heat.

        Great processor, does its job as indicated on independent benchmark sites. However, beware of the heat, even with a big watercooling (Artic liquid II 360mm) and conductonaut, it tends to heat up a lot.
        It's a good idea to find out about this problem before you buy, but otherwise it's a great CPU.
