[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works very well for my first gaming pc upgrade I'm using a Zotac White edition 3060 and G Skill Trident Z Royal Series DDR4 400 32 GB and a Kediers case.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was flip-flopping on the 3700X and the 3900X one being inexpensive and the other one being just a tad too expensive for my budget. I saw the 3800X on a heck of a sale and that made my decision for me. Yes the 3900X is better in almost every way and the 3700X can be overclocked to just about 3800X performance but at the price point the sale offered...? SOLD! I put it on a MSI X570 Gaming Edge w/Wi-fi and used a Corsair H100i. I have had absolutely no problem with heat dissipation. I have heard people argue to either get the 3700X or just pay the money and take the performance gains offered the 3900X. But the 3800X met my needs for this build.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was hesitant about making the move over to AMD, especially since I was wanting to switch over to the 3900x. However I could not find it in stock anywhere in my state and I had planned on returning this for the 3900x after ordering it online and receiving it. If I were Intel, I'd be very very concerned. absolutely destroys the 9700k I replaced in every aspect outside of gaming. Now even gaming numbers are not that much better on the 9700k. Because I stream and am a content creator, this is the obvious choice. I tried the 5700xt when it first came out and had to return it when the driver problems were too much to deal with. Which is why i was so apprehensive about making the switch. Apparently AMD has since fixed those driver bugs, but I'm still team Nvidia until AMD can come out with a card that can compare to Nvidia's top of the line cards. But their processors are a completely different story. If you were like me and pondering whether to pull the trigger and make the switch or not, take my advice and just do it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great CPU with plenty of power for your gaming or streaming needs. Paired the 3800x with a new 3080 I was lucky enough to snag as the centerpiece of my first build, and the performance is ridiculous. The plan was to wait for the Ryzen 5000 series, but I ended up going with this chip and I honestly don't see any need to upgrade anytime soon. This cpu enables me to stream while gaming at ridiculous frame rates and never seems to break a sweat. I'm very pleased with my purchase. Performance is great right out of the box as well. I've got absolutely no complaints whatsoever. It's a great CPU, and an excellent value as well. I highly recommend it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I run it with 2080 super it runs at 4.2 ghz super fast love it price match with Amazon

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from Ryzen 5 3600, and oh man! What a good choice I made. This might be the best CPU I’ve had in my 20+ years of working with PCs. I game on a 1440p 165hz Omen Gaming Monitor, I also do professional Music Production mostly on Pro Tools, and I do Video & Photo editing on Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Lightroom. This CPU can handle basically anything I throw at it. Pair it with 16 or 32GB of fast RAM and you’re good for a long time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Yes it's fast and overclocks well. Handles everything with ease. So my complaint isn't with the performance but with the temps and TDP. 3700x makes more sense. Water-cooled this chip run pretty toasty and no way the stock cooler would be able to keep up. Even on water I'm hitting 70-80c while gaming. Stock out of the box and on an X570 the voltages aren't set to what they should be 1.41v out of the box. It has never hit the advertised boost frequency without me going in and manually overclocking to it. The good part is it will run 4.5GHz at 1.32v and gets the temps in a more comfy range of 50-60. Again, it performs really well but, so does the 3700x for less money and at lower temps.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from the Ryzen 7 2700 and I’m glad I did. The 3800x paired with a 2070 super I can reach high frame rates for my 240 hz monitor while streaming at the same time! Not AAA titles but Apex Legends or Fortnite. I also do light video editing for YouTube and it edits videos great. Check out my YouTube @ Dr Sabbatical or my Twitch twitch.tv/DrSabbatical if you have any questions. Definitely worth the buy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first AMD processor since my first build 18 years ago, great product, the fan that comes with it is incredible and you can overclock a bit without the need of a water-cooled, I am getting one later tho. Just pay attention on your motherboard, I had one brand new but it was ready for Gen2 Ryzen not Gen3, so just pay attention when getting a new motherboard.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been waiting for a price drop for the Ryzen 7 processors since I decided to build a new computer. This has been a great processor so far. I've been able to stream to multiple sites at once, which my old PC couldn't do. I know that's more of a GPU deal, but my last one couldn't support a GPU strong enough to do that. I've been playing around with Adobe Premiere Pro too. It looks like I won't have the issues rendering or even running that like I did with my old PC. Again, GPU is more important, but I was getting 100% CPU issues with the last one. Short answer... I like it.
