Bought this guy 30 min early (Thanks Newegg lol!!) and have no regrets over the 14700k. I've benched several games and noticed anywhere from a 10% all the way to about a 25% increase in performance in a couple of games. It has reasonable production performance but I do think the 14700k was a slight bit better in that regard but I decided to pivot to an X3D chip because I hardly do any production work anymore and this processor perfectly acceptable performance for all the tasks I do now. Other machine stats: MSI X870E Carbon Wifi (fantastic board btw, BIOS flashback was super simple) Asus Tuf 4090 Cooling Solution: DeepCool Assassin IV RAM: 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium CL 30 PSU: Corsair RX 1200 Shift 1200W Case: Be Quiet! Lightbase 900

Goes on sale a lot

This is a great kit - I used this as my first try in replacing thermal paste on my CPU. Large capacity - enough for 4 or 5 uses. Backside of syringe has marks to show you exactly how much to use. The "stencil" tool works well too - stick to your surface CPU/cooler, apply thermal paste, and spread with the included card. Great packaging and performance. Corsair has yet to disappoint!

Fast Postage to the UK and very well packaged. Thank you!

-good product for a budget friendly build -the fan that comes with it helps you get rid of that extra expense of having to look for an AIO or another fan.

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).

This cooler will work great in most computers, and it keeps the CPU cool

It seems fantastic runs like a jet

Fantastic CPU Great build Quality & Thermal Heat Capabilities. Idles at 35C - 40C while using an AIO A13 360m. Superior Cores & Thread. Insane graphic processing speed. Paired with a ROG Astral 5090 32gb & 9100 Pro 2Tb 14.75gb read/write SSD. If you want a superior CPU for Performance, Thermal Capabilities, & High Processing of 8k & 4k , then the AMD Ryzen 9 9950x3D is the one. Especially if pairing with a ROG Astral 5090 32gb. (Not biased against Intel)

Great performance to cost ratio!

Simple setup.

Easy install. Includes a heat sink and fan-I didnt use it but still good for some. Started right up and ran with no trouble.

- This chip is freaking fast! It boosts between 5.5 and 5.7GHz in pretty much every game I throw at it. -Temps are not as bad as I thought they would be. Average is 55-65C while gaming and around 80-85C under full load.

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

Can believe how much power this thing has

- Great quaility and price! - Includes thermal paste, which is great. - It compatible with most sockets. - It checks my AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D tempterature under control. - Pretty cool ARGB lightning.

I'm normally an Intel kind of guy but I thought I'd try an AMD chip for a change. So far it is working very nicely.

24 cores at this price in unreal. The other guys give you 6 and 8 cores for this price lol. Boots fast, and breezes through everything I throw at it without a hitch. Gaming and multi tasking are a dream. CPU runs very cool despite being a multicore beast. Compatible with my older AIO, no need for any adapters, just worked. New Intel APO and IBT features are cool, but hope they support them long term. Overclocks really, really well. I am running at E cores at 5.1Ghz, P cores at 5.6Ghz and D2D at 4.0Ghz, Cache at 4.1GHz, and NGU at 3.4Ghz. These are well above stock, and it has zero issues. Tuned my DRAM to 8667 CL38 and get huge bandwidth and low latency now.

It was really easy to apply to my AMD Opteron 165. (Especially after having to take out my MSI K8N Diamond motherboard to install my Aquagate Mini (120) watercooling kit's bracket on the back of the motherboard.) I can't provide any comparative before and after temperatures, since it's a brand new box (and all my previous gaming PCs were Intels...). My CPU idles at upper 20s and with 100% load (extended Oblivion playing at 1600x1200 with most settings at max) it's in the lower 30s. This seems almost too good to be true, especially compared to my P4 Prescott 2.8GHz that idled at 49 and at 100% load it was 75. All temps in Celsius.

I bought it to built my new computer. So excited to show the final result on my IG page at @Retrogaming1991I even have Call of Duty as a bonus and this is sooo cool!
