A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

If the price suits you - you can take it, if you need a multi-stream - you can take it.
If you want to learn undervolting, find out where turbo boost is disabled in the BIOS, how to make the processor work with all cores at the frequency you need (within the limits of possibility). To be upset that it is heating up, then, having figured out how it can work, set it all up and be glad that it is really good - then welcome.
all the pictures I found while trying to set up and tests in Cinebench20 attached.

if you just want to play games, then take INTEL threads for 12 - that's definitely enough for today, I experienced it myself after the 3800x ryzen, I took the i7 9700 there are 8 threads in total and for example I could not play Call of Duty WarZone - FPS was noticeably higher than on the Ryzen 3800x, but there were long frames or friezes at the moment when you turned sharply . But in other games that I tried, this problem was not. after I7 9700 I got i7 8700 it has 12 threads. 9700 worked at a frequency higher than 8700, but the minimum and there is no problem in Call of Duty with friezes . (so that there are no questions I describe the situation I played at maximum settings in 2K resolution of 16GB RAM 16GB video card RTX 2080 TI)

Pros

many cores for reasonable money at that time. at a voltage of 1.3 V, it takes 4.4 GHz for all cores (I watched the review of Remontyash on YouTube, his copy took this frequency at a voltage of 1.2 V) and this was the best use case. You can stream on the processor! for example, for twitch there are restrictions on 6000 kbit traffic, when streaming FHD on cores with such traffic, the picture turned out much better than when streaming through a video card (we are talking about the stream of "shooters", and not about a person in a room with good lighting). with manual settings, you can use an inexpensive turret for cooling, I had 3 tubes.

Cons

without a tambourine and dancing - this is a stove. (without previous experience with similarly powerful ryzens). on automatic settings, my motherboard applied 1.5+ Volts to the cores and it heated up like a forge . you need fast memory at least 3600 MHz or, more precisely, memory that can operate at this frequency (my dice were XMP profile 3000 MHz, but worked on 3600) When using thick thermal paste (I used GD900), when removing the cooler, it pulls out of the socket and remains on the base of the cooler - there is a risk of bending the legs or chipping off the textalite.
