this item but it came and installed very nicely of course you gotta do the M Flash and make sure the motherboard is compatible.
--The Wraith Prism cooler--
Main thing to really review here is the stock cooler which is awesome. I've never kept on a stock cooler. I did with this CPU. With good case cooling you can get to within 100mhz of max these chips can OC (before going into the Twilight Zone) with the stock cooler. It also looks really nice too. I put down some Noctua NT-H1 that I had instead of the included compound.
Comparison benches of the cooler on various sites and YT channels show that it performs on-par with 3rd party air cooling. It even comes within 5C of the Noctua NT-D15. This was great to see because I cannot find my Hyper 212 EVO adapters anywhere. It's been sitting on an Intel chip for the past 5 years. That right there saved me about $40. The bad thing is it's LOUD. With a large tower cooler a variable speed fan is not really even necessary. I kept my old 212 EVO quite cool with up to +1.2GHZ OC at a constant quiet 1200 RPM with a 120mm. That's where a tower cooler will really benefit you.
--RGB--
The RGBs on the cooler look nice but I need to use the USB 2.0 header in order to get full use out of it because the 12V LED plug they also include is not for ARGB, so all I can do with it is control fan lights with static, breathing, and color change. The rings and AMD logo will just sit on default. Because of this I can't sync it through with my motherboard's software (Gigabyte Fusion) if I want all the RGB options. I don't know why they didn't make it compatible with 5V ARGB, which would allow our motherboard software sync and have more control. RGB/LED really needs standardization if companies plan to continue that route. Probably not AMD's fault here. It's a nice addition.
--Overclocking--
No point in getting an unlocked CPU without getting some free performance out of it!
Overclocking is... interesting. I'm familiar with Intel OCing but AMD Ryzen is a different beast. Intel is pretty much: "If you have the cooling, keep jumping up the voltage." This yields in really good OCs on Intel, well past 1GHz over stock for everyday use. AMD has mostly automated the process. The OC is enabled by default through Precision Boost (not the same as Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO)). The difference between PB and PBO is that PBO will raise the motherboard's power limits but it DOES NOT raise the CPU's PB thermal throttle limit. PB is an algorithm that will adjust each core clock until it reaches some magical limit. AMD hasn't published the thermal numbers of what that limit is. But it's far and away better than an all-core OC which is terrible on Ryzen 3000 series.
Out of the box it gets 4.225 GHz for me under load which is close to that 4.300 threshold where many people start seeing instability. Temps approach 60C there. Not bad for a STOCK cooler. Use PBO to get a little more (maybe). In addition you could drop some voltages and get really cool with only a minimal clock loss in PBO (I was doing 4.190) at 55C max. You can OC the oldschool way if you want but don't expect a significant performance increase, even with liquid nitrogen. The biggest benefit for manual overclocking is power efficiency and a less sensitive clock changing. The AMD Ryzen Master software is nice and allows for different OC profiles, such as Gaming which will only activate in games.
--TL;DR--
TL;DR: Incredible and beautiful stock cooler, but is a jet turbine. The default-enabled Precision Boost will not be far from max these chips can really OC to. Basically a set and forget OC if that's what you want.
11/18/2019 - I assembled my new desktop system this last weekend, and all the hardware meshed together & booted up just fine on the first try. No issues to report, other than installing a fresh Windows 10 OS & all the SW extras from scratch is a pain. After getting the new Windows 10 Home 64-bit OS installed & set up on the SSD boot drive, I was able to take a look at a few things. On default BIOS settings (no overclocking), the new 3700X CPU scored 4781 on the Cinebench R20 CPU benchmark. My previous 2015 Intel i5-6500 system build scored 1296 on the same test last week before I decommissioned it. My 3700X idle CPU temps in the Corsair ICUE 220T high-airflow case (4 fans) is 33-34C average (25C (77F) ambient room temps). A one-minute full-on stress test benchmark on the CPU took it up to 68-69C maximum. Everything seems to be running normally thus far, though you will need to tweak/adjust the CPU fan curve settings yourself in BIOS because the default ones had the CPU fan spinning up & down unnecessarily in the routine-task 30-50C range. I just set my CPU fan to run at a constant/quiet reasonable 50% speed for all temps up to 50C & then start slowly ramping up from there as needed in those rare extra-load circumstances. I also have my 3 front 120mm case fans running at a constant 50% & the single rear-exhaust 120mm fan at 60%. Works great.
KNOCKING OFF ONE STAR - My only real complaint with this AMD product is that not everyone likes tacky, obnoxious RGB lighting all over the place in their PC builds. The Wraith fan should come with it TURNED OFF by default & only allow people to turn it on if they wish via the extra cable that comes with it for RGB software controller purposes. KNOCKING OFF 1 STAR for AMD not having a simple OFF switch for the RGB on the CPU FAN housing SO IT NEVER COMES ON. The RGB is annoying as hell & there is NO WAY to have it OFF 100% from power-start to power-shutdown. Fan works great other than that though, lol.
UPDATE 11/25/2019 - I have come across some non-fatal MSI BIOS and/or AMD Driver issues related to the B450 chip-set (or Ryzen 3000 Series operation in general) that I am trying to work through with regards to initial start-up/booting in Windows. Shame that such a great new piece of hardware (this CPU) is being hobbled by immature/buggy BIOS and/or drivers on the part of AMD or MSI.
UPDATE 11/27/2019 - I went ahead & flashed the motherboard BIOS with the latest MSI build, which is 7C02v35 (just out of beta today & now official). I also installed the latest release 11/25/2019 AMD B450 chipset drivers (1.11.22.0454) directly from the AMD site over the top of the older MSI version chipset drivers from the MSI site. In addition, I updated my NVIDIA GPU drivers to the latest version, instead of the older ones that Windows 10 automatically installs when you boot up your new Windows 10 installation for the first time. Everything has been working picture perfect since I did all that.

Montado en ASUS Crosshair VII y con 16gb de gskill 3600, voy a valorar lo que me ha parecido este procesador.
En si ha dado un buen paso en comparación al 2700x que es el que tenía anteriormente, de media sobre 10/20 fps a los juegos que normalmente juego, no entrare a valorar con otros juegos que nunca he usado, en multitarea la verdad que también he notado algo de mejoría respecto al 2700x.
En cuanto a compatibilidad con la memoria, de momento no he tenido ningún problema en ponerlas a 3600, también decir que justo me ha llegado cuando han sacado el micro código AGESA 1.0.0.3AB para Asus, pero también me he encontrado con algún, pero, que ahora los comentare.
Hacer OC ahora mismo con las bios que hay es bastante absurdo, saca bastante mas rendimiento en modo auto y con el PBO, pero también tiene algunas cosas que no me han gustado, por ejemplo el Voltaje se dispara, AMD ya ha salido diciendo que es normal, pero para mi gusto demasiado alto, tiene picos que casi llegan a 1.5v, luego las temperaturas dentro de Windows si no se activa el modo Balanceo de RYZEN son bastante altas, estamos hablando de una media de 50º y eso que voy con liquida custom, con la actualización del chipset y el modo balanceo la cosa ya cambia, esta en idle sobre 38º, en full carga alcanza sobre los 70º también por el alto voltaje que hay, espero que en poco tiempo mejoren este aspecto como en las anteriores generaciones.
En cuanto si vale la pena coger la plataforma X570, en mi opinión por el precio que tiene si no es que necesitas el PCIE 4.0 mas vale coger una B450 o X470 y el dinero que sobra invertirlo en otro apartado.
El apartado que menos me ha gustado, también hay que decir que depende del fabricante ahora mismo, es en el apartado de BIOS, apenas puedes tocar muchas cosas, dado que a la mínima ya no arranca, lo mejor a día de hoy estando como están la BIOS que se tienen que pulir es dejarlo en modo AUTO el apartado del procesado.
Resumiendo, me parece una gran procesador y AMD ha vuelto hacer un producto muy competitivo, pero con precios ajustados, aun no hace ni un mes que han salido y bueno creo que las bios las tienen que pulir aun bastante, espero que para setiembre ya estén bien pulidas y poder aun exprimir mas el potencial de este procesador, a medida que vayan mejorando iré subiendo que tal va la mejora.
EDITO:
Justo ayer sacaron nueva BIOS y nuevo código de chipset, ahora ya he podido tocar parte del overclock, decir que en el tema voltajes aun me hace extraños o no mide muy bien la temperatura pero con el tema de OC en BIOS ahora va perfecto, he conseguido poner en nada las rams a 3600 con cl 16-16-15-15-32-42 y uns subtimings bastante bajos, el procesador lo he subido hasta 4.3Mhz con un voltaje de 1.280v no obstante las temperaturas me siguen exactamente igual, solo bajan las temperaturas a rangos normales cuando el procesador lo dejo en stock y si PBO ni nada, el stock del mismo son 3600Mhz todo lo que pase de allí las temperaturas se disparan, supongo que tienen que pulir aun mas los microcódigos y las bios, pero de momento van bien encaminados, cuando pongan otro cambio volveré a editar.

Le caratteristiche salienti di questa CPU sono:
- socket AM4
- 8 core e 16 thread
- clock base 3.6 GHz, boost massimo su singolo core 4.4 GHz
- moltiplicatore sbloccato
- memorie cache L1 di 512 KB, L2 di 4 MB e L3 di 32 MB
- TDP di default 65 W
- supporto a due canali di memoria DDR4 fino a 3200 MHz
- supporto a PCI-Express 4.0 x16
- non ha alcun tipo di grafica integrata, per cui va necessariamente abbinato ad una scheda video discreta.
Per poter utilizzare le CPU Ryzen di terza generazione occorre un chipset recente, come l'X570 oppure uno della generazione precedente, come il B450 previo aggiornamento del BIOS (come nel mio caso, dove ho usato una MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max con BIOS aggiornato per supportare il Ryzen di terza generazione).
La CPU arriva completa di dissipatore Wraith Prism, un dissipatore ad aria con ventola decorata con un RGB in maniera comunque discreta. Il dissipatore fornito consente di avere buone prestazioni tuttavia se si desiderano massima silenziosità e prestazioni di raffreddamento conviene usare un dissipatore aftermarket, ad aria o liquido; per esempio, sto usando un NZXT Kraken X62.
Di default il TDP, infatti, è di soli 65 watt nonostante il numero di core e la potenza di calcolo, tuttavia per mezzo del software Ryzen Master è possibile attivare modalità di overclock automatico/Precision Boost che consentono di aumentare il TDP della CPU, facendola arrivare a circa 90-100 W di potenza effettiva della sola CPU (125 W con test ad arte per farla consumare).
Questo aumento di frequenze è tanto più facile quanto più la CPU è raffreddata, detta in maniera semplice.
Indicativamente ho ottenuto i seguenti consumi effettivi per la sola CPU, semplicemente impostando le modalità predefinite in Ryzen Master (con calma proverò più nel dettaglio, per ora la sto tenendo in modalità default, che mi sembra il miglior compromesso per resa, temperature e consumi):
- idle = 8.7 watt circa, core da sleep a 500-700 MHz, temperature di circa 35 °C e tensione media dei core 0.84 V
- sotto carico normale, default = 64 watt circa, tutti i core sui 3.9 GHz, temperature di circa 65 °C e tensione media dei core 1.22 V
- sotto carico normale, Precision Boost + OC auto = 90 watt circa, tutti i core sui 4.05 GHz, temperature di circa 75 °C e tensione media sui core di 1.36 V
- test "maximum heat" su Prime95, Precision Boost + OC auto = 128 watt circa, tutti i core sui 3.9-4.0 GHz e temperature fino a 87-88 °C e tensione media sui core sempre di 1.36 V circa (diciamo che questo è un test fatto apposta per scaldare).
Il Ryzen 3700X è una CPU che risulta molto buona specialmente per i programmi e i giochi che riescono a sfruttare molto bene i numerosi core e thread. Ha comunque prestazioni buone anche a core singolo (cosa in cui invece gli AMD pre-Ryzen avevano difficoltà e lasciavano strada spianata ai Core di Intel).
Consiglio di installare gli appositi driver AMD che consentono di installare il profilo ottimizzato per Ryzen nelle impostazioni di gestione energia di Windows (questi non sono stati installati automaticamente da Windows 10).
Per dare un qualche riferimento ragionevolmente oggettivo, abbinata con una AMD RX 5700XT offre i seguenti risultati su benchmark:
- Time Spy di 3DMark: CPU score 9649 (8494 totale)
- PassMark Performance Test CPU MARK: 23884
Il bello di questi Ryzen di terza generazione è che il prezzo è abbastanza proporzionato considerando il numero di core, per cui uno può prendere il numero di core che gli servono pagandolo abbastanza in proporzione. Per esempio, se non interessano 8 core/16 thread, c'è il Ryzen 5 3600X che ha 6C/12T e frequenze simili e costa proprio circa il 25-30% in meno!
Sempre in proporzione al prezzo, risultano generalmente più convenienti della controparte Intel, pur avendo caratteristiche paragonabili se non superandoli, specialmente in multithread (cedono un pochino il fianco in single thread). Per esempio, a prezzo poco maggiore di questo Ryzen 7 3700X abbiamo l'Intel Core i7-9700K che è un 8C/8T che riesce ad arrivare però a frequenze fino a 4.9 GHz (e anche 5.0-5.1 in leggero OC) su core singolo con un TDP di 95 W.
Riassumendo, per una cifra attorno ai 300-330 euro si riesce a portare a casa una CPU con una potenza molto buona, efficiente, parca nei consumi, sia in idle, sia sotto carico e con una piattaforma recente (supporta, per esempio, PCI-Express 4.0), che dà soddisfazioni sia nei giochi sia nei software di produttività.
Il tutto, ovviamente, già out-of-the-box: non occorrono impostazioni particolari. Poi volendo si può sempre provare a giocare con Ryzen Master o sperimentare con overclock, ma dal poco che ho visto gli aumenti di prestazioni sono marginali e dunque lasciando le impostazioni di default si ha un buon rapporto fra prestazioni, consumo e temperature.

Le caratteristiche salienti di questa CPU sono:
- socket AM4
- 8 core e 16 thread
- clock base 3.6 GHz, boost massimo su singolo core 4.4 GHz
- moltiplicatore sbloccato
- memorie cache L1 di 512 KB, L2 di 4 MB e L3 di 32 MB
- TDP di default 65 W
- supporto a due canali di memoria DDR4 fino a 3200 MHz
- supporto a PCI-Express 4.0 x16
- non ha alcun tipo di grafica integrata, per cui va necessariamente abbinato ad una scheda video discreta.
Per poter utilizzare le CPU Ryzen di terza generazione occorre un chipset recente, come l'X570 oppure uno della generazione precedente, come il B450 previo aggiornamento del BIOS (come nel mio caso, dove ho usato una MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max con BIOS aggiornato per supportare il Ryzen di terza generazione).
La CPU arriva completa di dissipatore Wraith Prism, un dissipatore ad aria con ventola decorata con un RGB in maniera comunque discreta. Il dissipatore fornito consente di avere buone prestazioni tuttavia se si desiderano massima silenziosità e prestazioni di raffreddamento conviene usare un dissipatore aftermarket, ad aria o liquido; per esempio, sto usando un NZXT Kraken X62.
Di default il TDP, infatti, è di soli 65 watt nonostante il numero di core e la potenza di calcolo, tuttavia per mezzo del software Ryzen Master è possibile attivare modalità di overclock automatico/Precision Boost che consentono di aumentare il TDP della CPU, facendola arrivare a circa 90-100 W di potenza effettiva della sola CPU (125 W con test ad arte per farla consumare).
Questo aumento di frequenze è tanto più facile quanto più la CPU è raffreddata, detta in maniera semplice.
Indicativamente ho ottenuto i seguenti consumi effettivi per la sola CPU, semplicemente impostando le modalità predefinite in Ryzen Master (con calma proverò più nel dettaglio, per ora la sto tenendo in modalità default, che mi sembra il miglior compromesso per resa, temperature e consumi):
- idle = 8.7 watt circa, core da sleep a 500-700 MHz, temperature di circa 35 °C e tensione media dei core 0.84 V
- sotto carico normale, default = 64 watt circa, tutti i core sui 3.9 GHz, temperature di circa 65 °C e tensione media dei core 1.22 V
- sotto carico normale, Precision Boost + OC auto = 90 watt circa, tutti i core sui 4.05 GHz, temperature di circa 75 °C e tensione media sui core di 1.36 V
- test "maximum heat" su Prime95, Precision Boost + OC auto = 128 watt circa, tutti i core sui 3.9-4.0 GHz e temperature fino a 87-88 °C e tensione media sui core sempre di 1.36 V circa (diciamo che questo è un test fatto apposta per scaldare).
Il Ryzen 3700X è una CPU che risulta molto buona specialmente per i programmi e i giochi che riescono a sfruttare molto bene i numerosi core e thread. Ha comunque prestazioni buone anche a core singolo (cosa in cui invece gli AMD pre-Ryzen avevano difficoltà e lasciavano strada spianata ai Core di Intel).
Consiglio di installare gli appositi driver AMD che consentono di installare il profilo ottimizzato per Ryzen nelle impostazioni di gestione energia di Windows (questi non sono stati installati automaticamente da Windows 10).
Per dare un qualche riferimento ragionevolmente oggettivo, abbinata con una AMD RX 5700XT offre i seguenti risultati su benchmark:
- Time Spy di 3DMark: CPU score 9649 (8494 totale)
- PassMark Performance Test CPU MARK: 23884
Il bello di questi Ryzen di terza generazione è che il prezzo è abbastanza proporzionato considerando il numero di core, per cui uno può prendere il numero di core che gli servono pagandolo abbastanza in proporzione. Per esempio, se non interessano 8 core/16 thread, c'è il Ryzen 5 3600X che ha 6C/12T e frequenze simili e costa proprio circa il 25-30% in meno!
