## Description

One processor to render them all. Now with a groundbreaking 64 cores, the world’s most powerful desktop processor will render time irrelevant

Review: I am writing this review not to tell you how impressed I am by the fact that one can actually have 64 cores / 128 threads in one CPU die twice as cheap as the competition and do it gracefully, not overheating or anything like that (well, excuse my Kaby Lake that started overheating after running full load for a couple of days). I am writing to point out that one does not need to try to overclock the new generation AMD CPU's because modern motherboards compete by *safely* overclocking modern CPU's in their default mode, even in the energy saving 'ECO' mode that is! 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.
Review: I recently finished my latest Workstation build with this processor. I'm 65, a retired Aerospace Engineer and I still like to do a lot of CAD design and Rendering for my hobby now. This processor is INSANE Fast ! I have been using workstations in Aerospace for the last 40 years or so. Mostly high end, very expensive UNIX boxes. But I have never seen a processor the likes of this. Expensive? YES. But if you want the best in the world you pay the price. I can't believe anyone would ever be disappointed with the AMD Threadripper 3990x as the heart of their Workstation. This processor actually has an overclocking algorithm built in called "Precision Boost Overdrive" that lets you extend the boost clock to 4.5GHz. You just set it and forget it. I have never had a crash with PBO +200MHz enabled.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can it run crisis?**
A: LTT confirmed that it can in fact run crisis... in software rendering mode.

**Q: Is it able to run Microsoft solitaire smoothly?**
A: You will need 64 of these 64-core processors just to open Solitaire. You have to wait for 128 of the 128-core Zen 5 5990X Threadrippers if you dare click play...

**Q: Is this cpu is good for multi screen stocks monitoring application like thinkorswim?**
A: Yes, but it’s a bit of a waste of money if you just want it for the extra screen real estate. Your main focus should be around additional RAM. (Personally work as a trader, you won’t need more than 32-64gigs unless you work as quant and are running hyper intensive ML or deep learning models)

**Q: I hear that minecraft is a cpu intensive game. how far can it render scenery out to in 4k @ 144hz with ray tracing? i'm only interested in minecraft.**
A: A 250$ intel i5 10600k will outperform the threadripper by a considerable margin in minecraft due to its superior single threaded performance. (Minecraft only uses 1 core and thead) lol

Für reine Spieleenthusiasten sicher der falsche Prozessor, für jene, die wissen, warum sie das diesen Batzen Geld auf den Tisch legen ein Segen. Rechenleistung zum umfallen, sowohl im Multi, als auch im Single Thread, lange habe ich keinen so leistungsstarken, nud doch so ausgewogenen Prozessor im HEDT bereich mehr gesehen! Bisher hatte man die Wahl, wer Kerne brauchte musste AMD Kaufen, dafür aber wo diese nicht zählten deutliche Abstriche machen, wer das nicht voll auskosten konnte war mit Intel besser aufgehoben, Mit Zen2 offensichtlich kein problem mehr... Die CPU zieht bei mir mit aufgehobenem Power Limit(Voreinstellung Mainboard) im Single thread mit einem 9900 KS gleich, im multi gibt es wohl aktuell nichts, was auch nur annährend an dieses Monster herankommt... Noch nie habe ich so kurz auf Renderergebnisse gewartet, und die abstriche, die man beim Gaming bei Vorgängern machen musste sind dahin, volles Lob an AMD hierfür!
