Review on Unlocked AMD Ryzen 7 3700X: 8-Core,16-Thread Processor with Wraith Prism LED Cooler - Perfect for Your Desktop Needs! by Koshino Minoru ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quality is top notch, happy with everything.

Since this is my second Ryzen (I bought it to replace the 1800X), I knew all the features such as frequency and temperature jumps and, most importantly, the method of dealing with a howling heatsink :-) Otherwise, the CPU showed itself perfectly. I disabled auto-acceleration in the BIOSe, set the frequency to 4200, did not touch the voltage, left the machine. In tests with Lightroom (intended use), the hypothesis of a small performance increase due to disabling SMP was confirmed. On the task of exporting photos, the duration with SMP is 1 min 38 sec, without SMP - 1 min 28 sec. But this only applies to a specific application. In total, in the office, browser, the temperature is at the level of 45-50 degrees. In Lightroom on the export task - 63-65 degrees. In the AIDA stress test for 10 minutes - 77 degrees. Compared to the old 1800X, the performance increase in Lightroom tasks is 42% (it was 2:34 minutes on the same task, it became 1:28 minutes). True, the comparison is not entirely correct due to different memory (3000 versus 3600), but in general, I consider even a 30% performance increase justified for the purchase.

Pros
  • Performance, low TDP, reasonable price, ability to work on older boards
Cons
  • Strange auto-overclocking algorithms, like all Ryzen
