Something interesting is happening to the CPU space when it comes to online opinion and reviews. While it is true that AMD tech has improved dramatically over the past five years, the online "fan" reaction is much more extreme. In the case of the 3990x, what is most notable is the absence of a value discussion in many online reviews. Its simply performance, performance, and then performance.
Businesses deploying these in depth will have different decisions than consumers. These are NOT chips for big iron running net infrastructure. As far as the individual HEDT enthusiast, pricing the 3990x against AMDs own offerings, and Intel's 7/9/10 980XE line, the 7980XE is a surprisingly strong value position against 3990X.
If you have the money or the need, simply buy this, no questions asked. If you a really looking to build a home render engine at the lowest price point per performance index, then spend several hours reading in-depth online reviews written by tech experts. Ignore the online enthusiast community and Youtube, as they will always emphasize performance.
EDIT: I love the comments that triumphantly declare that cheaper SKUs in the AMD line compare more favorably against 7980XE or other Intel parts. Of course they do, but this review is for a 3990wx, isn't it? Its entirely about how the two chips scale in the higher core performance niche. And for those red-ensconced AMD zealots hoping to sniff out an Intel partisan, keep looking. I have several of the TR2/4 class HEDT chips in my stable and am happy with them. Not enough? Intel's upgrades to the 7980xe remain poor values when a three year old chip can still out-perform them due to an expanded thermal envelope. Peace to all, have fun with your PCs.

After installing my Ryzen Threadripper (3990x) I was certainly cautious whether the AIO cooling solution provided by the dedicated Corsair MasterLiquid ML360R special edition for 3990x would be adequate for this powerful CPU running at full load 24/7. So I was running test after test with different load patterns (16/32/64/96/128 threads) as well as different fan settings, with the aim of finding an elusive "sweet spot" for the 'just right cooling at minimal noise' from the fans.Eventually I also tried to overclock the CPU moderately (up to 3.6 GHz) and see how the CPU die temperature and the noise from all the fans (6 in total) would interplay. I should say, I was pretty much amazed at the result! It appeared that at default ECO settings the BIOS (i.e. the motherboard) acted like both a very efficient overclocking wizard (behind the scene; many people would not notice even) but also as a shield for the CPU not to overheat while still providing just the correct level of power for any particular load. To my big surprise(!), if I wanted to overclock manually by setting the CPU frequency precisely, I would definitely go into a dangerous regime of uncontrolled (over-) heating, albeit masked by the time it would require to manifest, depending on the frequency I opted for - the higher the frequency the shorter the time.
Long story made short, If you try to overclock such a powerful CPU, beware that the BIOS will (unduly!) maintain precisely the preset frequency that you chose in the BIOS settings, no matter what - that is, irrespective of the actual load, i.e. in the idle state too! This is an easy way to unduly overheat and, by doing so, ware out the CPU beyond its actual capacity (like a battery that is never given a chance to properly recharge in full). On the contrary, if you leave it to the BIOS (motherboard) to decide on the overclocking regime depending on the actual load (by opting for the default settings), you will (a) prolong the CPU life (while staying under warranty!), (b) will be using exactly the power needed for the load at the time, (c) save some quid/dollar on your electricity bill as the wattage spent will be exactly proportional to the load your CPU (and PC) is using (i.e. the over- or under- clocking done by the motherboard). As an extra bonus, your ears (and perhaps the climate in your family) will be healthier! :)
That's all I wanted share, based on my extensive tests for over two weeks of running this CPU under different loads and cooling. About the cooling regime, by the way, if you don't definitely overclock beyond what is necessary for your tasks (well, games for some), you will find that no special regime is required, just auto-tune your fans and maybe you will be able even to reduce the primary CPU (Corsair in my case) fans to run at lower speeds most of the time, unless the CPU die T goes over 70 C.
Ich selber nutze die CPU beruflich für Simulationen und Rendering (3Ds Max, Cinema 4D, Maya, Blender) und da kann die CPU ihre Stärken ausspielen. 64 Kerne mit 128 Threads bieten einen in diesen Einsatzbereich nie dagewesene Leistung zu "annehmbaren" Kosten.
