Review on AMD Ryzen 7 3800X Processor: Unlocked 8-Core CPU with Wraith Prism Cooler for Powerful Desktop Performance by Adam Bronisz ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Satisfied with the product, I recommend it to everyone.

I will be brief - after purchase and installation, I did everything as it was written earlier - I removed PBO, manually set the voltage, I was unpleasantly amazed at the idle temperature, etc. And then I read an article about overclocking these processors, where I came across a link from the AMDcommunity. In it, in simple and understandable English, it was reported that for all processors of the 1700X and 1800X series, the tCTL temperature sensor overestimates the temperature by exactly +20 degrees. At the same time, the model 1700 does not have this! Link: ? sf62107357 And after all this, my eyes were opened. I understand that the bios of mothers will certainly take into account such a shift in the future when they release ates - but why not talk about it right away? Then at least people's eyes would not go out on their foreheads from stellar temperatures. Took off a star for that reason. For the rest - everything is fine. We must take.

Pros
  • Power, acceleration
Cons
  • Temperature sensor misinformation (more on that below)
