Low power consumption, excellent thermal performance and great performance for gaming and multitasking

Runs cool Easy to overclock Great for gaming, rendering, encoding, etc.

Great CPU, works as advertised

Very nice thermals after I applied this paste.

nice and fast running on a Z690 ASUS hero

Was cheaper than the 7800x3d at the time of purchase

Bought this from the 'rainforest (newegg wont let me say it), part number was off by one digit, qr code refused to scan so unable to verify on my end that it is authentic and text was oddly off and faded. The one from newegg had exact matching serial and parts number, qr code immediately work, and al the text and labeling were flawless. AMD support claims the 'rainforest' 9950x3d was genuine but it did not set well with me (attention to detail must be a requirement for items of this nature). CPU works with no issue and my roomate has a free cpu (and motherboard and ram cause i had to buy the bundle to get the cpu due to stock).

The heatsink is great, it keeps my 12600k at solid temps. Obviously because it is so great at cooling the heatsink is pretty big so make sure to double check your case dimensions because it might not fit in a micro atx case. I personally have a full atx case.

Super fast, Zen 3 , everything you need best bang for the buck, Highly recommended

Always stable

I got exactly what I was expecting. The CPU runs a tiny bit hot but that is also what everyone says online so I expected that. This CPU will be future proof as long as I take care of it.

Fast and efficient Handles undervolting and low tdp ( max 120v set) like a champ with no issues Benchmark scores across the board were withing 15pts of 14900k under s200 overclock

Keeps the processor cool, fans are silent. Can barely feel the pump working, no noise at all.


Easy install

Ultra 225. Idle temps in 40s now. Was in the high 50 with intels stock cooler. Good stuff

Pop the CPU in and up and running no problems at all.
