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

1) Despite a thermal package of 65W for "atypical" tasks like video transcoding with all cores or Cinebench rendering, the real power goes beyond 90W and the CPU heats up wildly to 76-78C degrees, while the frequency drops to 3.9-4 GHz. In workloads, the temperature easily exceeds 60C, which has to be compensated by coolers - and this is extra noise. 2) A hot "explosive" stone - it heats up quickly and then lowers the frequencies, which causes the fans to spin up at any short-term load, so at first I tried to solve it by setting the PWM fan profile. Then, on the advice of the gamersnexus portal, an OFFSET was made for the processor voltage -0.075 v. This allowed, without removing overclocking to 4.4, to work stably at temperatures up to 60C in games and work tasks. Or set the BIOS to 4.1 GHz with a voltage of 12022 v - but then stress tests do not pass and video conversion, you need to reduce the multiplier to 4.0 GHz or 3.9 GHz for these tasks, increasing the voltage leads to heating for 75C. 3) I took the OEM version. From the store, the legs were jammed at the edge in a blister - he came the next day, apparently the store specialists corrected the handles. Look carefully at the rows upon receipt, bent legs are easy to break off when editing on your own - then you will not return such a stone to the store!
