Pros & Cons
Pros
After a bios update (do it before you upgrade the cpu), it works seamlessly. Playing deus ex on this compared to a pentium 4 is night and day. Ryzen cpu is great.
This one has a beefy heatsink with direct copper piping. I idle around 50-52c, which i guess is a little higher than what my fx 8350 did. I'm satisfied with temps however they fluctuate a lot.
Ultra running at that resolution at 35 to 40 fps. I run black desert online, love the game, but it was not long ago upgraded with a remastered mode and an ultra graphics mode. Renders mover right along.
Cons
Included cooler is completely unacceptable. There would be no real contact with the cpu. Don't waste your money on amd and their horrible warranty/support.
Amazon won't send the promo codes for borderlands 3 and the outer worlds, but they will send 3 months of xbox game pass. Do yourself a favor and order this from another retailer that will honor their promos. The box was violently opened by someone.
Highlights
Quality
Easy to install stock cooler works fantastic and proves to be an excellent choice for any mid to high end pc build
I am a high end gamer that loves quality and hates any form of stutter or lag
2 ghz allcores this 3800x is simply fire and forget at stock settings
It came down to removing the latches from my mother board and reinstalling them with the cpu cooler locked in
Price
It has been way more than she needed and has been a great deal
Works great a little pricey for a last gen cpu
The base price of 400 just isnt worth it
Dont expect this to function like a 1000 cpu
Shipping
It had some shipping problems but they helped me out and arrived when i needed it to works perfectly fine 1010 recommend
Super fast and beyond my expectations easy install not lol
Packaging/appearance
The package was in great condition it was easy to install
Came with the cpu cooler wich has nice lighting effects that work with the mb rgb settings
First time ive ever had any trouble with anything product happened to be ok but the packaging was a paper bag considering the n... Read More
Box was basically destroyed but product wasn’t great product but the box wasn’t good looking
Competitiveness
An easy choice over current equal intel products due to as goodbetter capabilities at a lower price
Playing deus ex on this compared to a pentium 4 is night and day
This is basically a better version of the 3700x
I would more than recommend this processor to anybody looking for something similar to what i was
