The 3700x is a Fantastic Chip at its price point
Summary:If you want a mid-range machine that’s future proof for at least the next few years, this fits the bill nicely. Get a chip that trades blows with an i9-9900K for $200 less and uses less power doing it. Yes, Intel’s higher clock speed will allow it to be faster at certain workloads & games, but it’s usually not by much. Regarding gaming, if you’re running at 1080p or 1440p and not running a top of the line video card, the difference between the 3700x and 9900K is negligible. For workstation use, it’s a no brainer, unless you want to up to a 3900x.Building computers and keeping up to date with all the latest hardware is my hobby and second job. I was an AMD guy back in the Athlon XP & Athlon 64 days, but once it was Sandy Bridge vs Buldozer, there was basically no reason to go AMD. For years, I built basically nothing but Intel Machines. Ryzen’s intro was exciting to me, AMD is now competitive again! But other than a couple of builds for people, I skipped the first 2 generations. Now, Gen 2 chips are cheap, and Gen 3 chips can not only hold there own, but often outperform Intel in many tasks, sometimes even gaming! And even when they loose, it’s not by much.So the 3700x gives great performance for the money, but what about stability and easy of setup? Well, it’s nearly as good as Intel. Regarding stability, I’d say their fantastic as long as you avoid AMD Video Card drivers, which are a bit flaky at the moment. But with an Nvidia card, rock stable. Now, I said nearly as good as intel due to the drivers, BIOS updates, and power and voltage situation. For most current intel systems, the platform is so mature that everything generally just works out of the box. No drivers or power plans required, Windows 10 knows what to do with the platform. But with AMD Zen 2, there are potential issues on older chip-sets and not being able to boot without BIOS updates, performance issues with older BIOS updates, etc. On top of that, you really want to get the chip-set drivers & power plans to have the best configuration. None of this is hard, but Intel is already so integrated into Windows 10. But with Ryzen gaining market-share at their current pace, integration and optimization will be there soon.Most of the time, you want to build a balanced system. Here are my CPU suggestions based on price points (Approximations)$500 to $800 builds: 1600X AF (Which is basically a 2600X)$800 to $1300 Builds: 3600$1200 to $2500 Builds: 3700X$1800 to $3400 Builds: 3900X$2500+ Builds: $3950XMy wife and I rebuild our gaming systems this past Holiday season. Here’s my latest rig with this chip:Processor: AMD 3700XVideo Card: Nvidia GTX 1070 (used)RAM: 32GB G-Skill Dual Channel 3600Mhz CAS16Motherboard: MSI X570 Carbon (Good For 3800X and below, VRMs may run hot on 3900X and above)Sound: Sound Blaster ZSSD: 1GB A-DATA SX8200 Pro & 2x 2TB Crucial (1100 & MX500)PSU: Seasonic 750W GoldCase: Fractal Design Define CCPU Cooler: Noctua DH-15Fans: 4x 140mm Noctua AF-14 & 1x 120mm Noctua AF-12Gaming and productivity have been fantastic with no issues. I really want more GPU power, but I’m waiting for the prices to come down for Nvidia or for AMD to get their driver act together. GTX 1070s can be had for under $200 used, and compare well to GTX 1660 Supers (We got ours before this was an option). If you have the money The 2070 S would be my go to. I could have invested the cost of the expensive fans and CPU cooler to a faster video card or 3900x, but having a system that’s quiet, cool, and fast is important to me.Here’s to hoping Ryzen continues down this path!

Perfect mid to upper tier gaming
The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X is an exceptional processor that truly delivers on all fronts. Built on the 7nm Zen 2 architecture, it offers incredible performance per watt, making it both powerful and energy-efficient. With 8 cores and 16 threads, it tears through multithreaded tasks like rendering, video editing, and compiling code with ease. In gaming, the 4.4 GHz max boost clock ensures smooth frame rates, even in CPU-intensive titles.The Wraith Prism LED cooler is a surprisingly solid stock cooler. Not only does it keep the temperatures in check during extended gaming sessions or heavy workloads, but the RGB lighting adds a nice aesthetic touch to the build. Running at stock settings, the CPU rarely hits more than 70°C, even under load, which is impressive for a cooler that comes bundled at this price point.For the price-to-performance ratio, this processor is hard to beat. The unlocked multiplier allows for easy overclocking if you’re looking to push performance further, but even at stock settings, it’s an absolute beast. Whether you’re a gamer, a content creator, or just someone who needs a powerful CPU for multitasking, the Ryzen 7 3700X hits that sweet spot of value and capability.

CPU Perfect! Cooler is okay.
This is by far the best computer processor I have ever used, it is fast and powerful. I have used it for 3D modeling, video editing, and gaming; It has surpassed all my expectations. Although AMD is releasing new processors soon, this model is still very strong and at a great price, which may drop post 5000 release. The only problem I had with this processor was not the CPU itself, but the RGB Wraith Cooler. There are so many problems with this cooler that I can’t recommend it. Yes, it works and I am in fact still using mine because I didn’t budget for one, but I do plan on replacing it soon. Here is everything I found wrong with it:- It is a pain to install, especially for beginners. Rather than opting for screws or push pins, AMD designed a strange hook mechanism that is absolutely terrible. When installing the cooler, it feels like everything is going to break, and although I know I installed it correctly it didn’t feel right.- It is LOUD! It’s not unbearable, but it is annoying. Any time I open up a new app or do something that puts a tiny strain on the CPU, the Wraith speeds up a lot.- The RGB is a mess! The Prism Wraith has 3 individual RGB lights: the fan, the ring, and the logo. HOWEVER, only the fan can be controlled with external software (AURA SYNC, iCue, etc). If you wish to control all three LEDs, you have to use a separate app from Cooler Master, which requires you to attach a separate cable to one of your internal USB headers. Not to mention, you cannot use the Cooler Master software at the same time as another program, and they are not compatible. So you can either control just the fan LED, or you can control all three with a USB cable and sucky Cooler Master bloatware.- The cooling isn’t very good. At idle it is fine, but gaming or using heavy software it just doesn’t keep up very well.TL:DR – Buy this CPU if you need a good CPU and you don’t want to wait for 5000, but budget for a better cooler the Wraith is very disappointing.

Muito bom potente ótimo incrÃvel

I bought this to replace a 4-core i5-6500 and the difference was night and day. Handles games really well. Is it the best and the fastest gaming CPU? No. Is it an affordable 8-core/16 thread CPU with solid performance and comes with an excellent cooler? Yes! I paired this CPU with an MSI Tomahawk Max B450 motherboard and I got an affordable and very well performing system. Very happy with my purchase.

La verdad pensaba comprar un Ryzen 9 pero yo mayormente lo uso para juegos ya que tengo otro equipo para trabajar, asà que después de evaluar vi que le rendimiento en juegos de este ryzen era realmente muy similar al del Ryzen 9 para la mayorÃa de los juegos, al menos hasta que salgan juegos que usen mas “cores” , asà que este cumplÃa con todo inclusive disipador RGB el cual es muy llamativo, realmente una buena compra, usando la misma tarjeta de video que tenia antes ya regreso a ser un equipo muy competitivo yo juego en 2k de resolución ya que igual el presupuesto para jugar en 4k es mucho mayor, las temperaturas si son un poco elevadas entre 55-60 sin ejecutar nada y como unos 70C jugando, realmente no es nada tan escandaloso para un CPU de estos, además no hay nada de que preocuparse porque si la temperatura aumenta más el ventilador sube la velocidad y lo enfrÃa bien rápido, en resumen no me queda mas que recomendarlos, yo use una placa madre con chispet b550m es una buen combo.cualquier cosa no duden en preguntar, más tarde adjunto imagenes.

Bra processor för pengarna. Fungerar bra med Asus Aura Sync.
