Product reviewsAMD Ryzen 7 3700X Octa Core Processor 3.6 - 4.4 GHz, Socket AM4, 65W Sealed Box

Best I've used.

This CPU is probably the best I've used and it certainly lives up to all the hype its had. Installation is very easy and straightforward although installing the cooler is a bit fiddly.
The fan is quiet enough and the LEDs are really nice but the most impressive thing is the speed of the processor. Along with an SSD and 16gb of ram everything seems to be running instantly.
I'm very happy with this product.Read full review...

Performs as expected

I chose 3 stars because 4 is labelled as better than expected & 5 as amazing. In fact it performs exactly as expected based on the published specs. At just over 1 month use it is reliable so answered yes to that. It was easy for me to install as I have previous experience and knew what to expect.Read full review...

This processor is the best I have ever had the pleasure of using.

For context, the best CPU I have used before this massive upgrade was an FX 8350. This CPU is amazing and will handle basically anything you throw at it, within it's use-case of course. It performs absolutely amazingly in any modern workload, Photoshop, After Effects, Cinema 4D/Blender. It's absolutely amazing and runs like a dream. Keep in mind, if you plan to overclock, use something other than the included prism wraith cooler, as it runs at around 50C idle. But, keeping that in mind, it barely gets hotter than 70C.

This CPU is amazing, and if you can get it for a good price, then I absolutely recommend it.Read full review...

History may say this was the best ever RYZEN

There is something about the 3000 series RYZEN that sets it apart. It's the first one that's truly actually better than Intel's offering of the time. What's more they work in EVERY AM4 board unlike the 5000 series. This makes the 3700X the perfect no worries upgrade. Just make sure you have updated the BIOS in a very old board before you pop it in.

The 5600X RYZEN can beat this due to it's clock speed and IPC and can produce higher FPS in some games for those reasons. However the 3700X is pretty decent and with the two extra cores can produce smoother results which is what really counts.

Nice Bit of Kit

In comparison to other AMD processors this unit is a lovely piece of kit. no problem with work loads , also make sure that if you do purchase one .be sure to buy the MSI X570 Gaming Plus built for this CPU and Windows 10 being fully compatible with each other .Love the LED display on the Wraith Cooler A+++Read full review...

Server style multi-threded performance on the desktop.

The Ryzen 7 3700x brings real server grade benefits to the desktop workstation.
The 8 core/16 threads has improved the way I work with development VMs on my workstation.
No longer do I have to spin it up in the cloud or in my home data center. It's right there on my workstation. Read full review...

Great, fast CPU..

This was an upgrade from a 1700 Ryzen..
Runs really fast and cool, around 34c idle and 60c when really pushed..
I have left as it is with no OC..
Been using AMD for years and never had a problem..
One thing I will say is don't use on an X370 motherboard as it was not enough to keep it stable. I upgraded from Asus X370 pro to Asus Tuf X570 plus and it is rock solid..Read full review...

Simply an outstanding cpu.

It is a true workhorse - stable and reliable. Of all AMD Ryzen series cpus , the Ryzen 7 3700/3800x
is my favorite. Not the fastest or most sophisticated Ryzen family member, but it does everything it is designed to do without a hitch, without overheating or causing havoc/errors.
What else can we ask for?Read full review...

Thanks alot Read full review...
