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

A more sober look at this product after 1.5 months. use allows us to conclude that the 65W heat pack declared by the manufacturer has nothing to do with the same Intel i7 6700. The frequencies of the 3700x jump even at rest from 400 to 4200 MHz, when even the slightest load occurs, the processor heats up in a matter of seconds, which is why its heat-distributing cover heats up just as quickly. This "explosive" nature of it should be taken into account when choosing a case and a cooler for the processor itself. The body must be well ventilated. If you don't want the cooler fan to periodically shoot up to maximum speed, choose a cooler designed for a 120-150 W heat pack (minimum 3 copper heat pipes, 92 - 140 mm fan). I would say that Deepcool Gammax 300 is the absolute minimum for him from the tower. At the same time, you will have to get used to temperatures like 45 in idle and 85 under load. Although this is not terrible for this processor. As before, very careful handling of the processor is required when it is installed in the socket. More than 1300 contact legs are very fragile and thin wires that break out at once. And although many of them are functionally duplicated or not involved, it is better not to play the lottery. Without special skills, a technical hair dryer and a donor processor, it will not work to restore the broken “legs”. Therefore, we take the processor out of the package only immediately before installing it in the socket, carefully install it, close the clamp, and never touch it again. It is strictly forbidden to remove the processor cooler "cold" - you run the risk of pulling out the processor stuck to the thermal paste together with the cooler, as a result of which both it and the socket on the mat will be damaged. board. Therefore, first you need to turn on the computer for 5 minutes. Fans of overclocking have almost nowhere to accelerate even on dropsy.
