Summary: If you want a mid-range machine that's future proof for at least the next few years, this fits the bill nicely. Get a chip that trades blows with an i9-9900K for $200 less and uses less power doing it. Yes, Intel's higher clock speed will allow it to be faster at certain workloads & games, but it's usually not by much. Regarding gaming, if you're running at 1080p or 1440p and not running a top of the line video card, the difference between the 3700x and 9900K is negligible. For workstation use, it's a no brainer, unless you want to up to a 3900x. Building computers and keeping up to date with all the latest hardware is my hobby and second job. I was an AMD guy back in the Athlon XP & Athlon 64 days, but once it was Sandy Bridge vs Buldozer, there was basically no reason to go AMD. For years, I built basically nothing but Intel Machines. Ryzen's intro was exciting to me, AMD is now competitive again! But other than a couple of builds for people, I skipped the first 2 generations. Now, Gen 2 chips are cheap, and Gen 3 chips can not only hold there own, but often outperform Intel in many tasks, sometimes even gaming! And even when they loose, it's not by much. So the 3700x gives great performance for the money, but what about stability and easy of setup? Well, it's nearly as good as Intel. Regarding stability, I'd say their fantastic as long as you avoid AMD Video Card drivers, which are a bit flaky at the moment. But with an Nvidia card, rock stable. Now, I said nearly as good as intel due to the drivers, BIOS updates, and power and voltage situation. For most current intel systems, the platform is so mature that everything generally just works out of the box. No drivers or power plans required, Windows 10 knows what to do with the platform. But with AMD Zen 2, there are potential issues on older chip-sets and not being able to boot without BIOS updates, performance issues with older BIOS updates, etc. On top of that, you really want to get the chip-set drivers & power plans to have the best configuration. None of this is hard, but Intel is already so integrated into Windows 10. But with Ryzen gaining market-share at their current pace, integration and optimization will be there soon. Most of the time, you want to build a balanced system. Here are my CPU suggestions based on price points (Approximations) $500 to $800 builds: 1600X AF (Which is basically a 2600X) $800 to $1300 Builds: 3600 $1200 to $2500 Builds: 3700X $1800 to $3400 Builds: 3900X $2500+ Builds: $3950X My wife and I rebuild our gaming systems this past Holiday season. Here's my latest rig with this chip: Processor: AMD 3700X Video Card: Nvidia GTX 1070 (used) RAM: 32GB G-Skill Dual Channel 3600Mhz CAS16 Motherboard: MSI X570 Carbon (Good For 3800X and below, VRMs may run hot on 3900X and above) Sound: Sound Blaster Z SSD: 1GB A-DATA SX8200 Pro & 2x 2TB Crucial (1100 & MX500) PSU: Seasonic 750W Gold Case: Fractal Design Define C CPU Cooler: Noctua DH-15 Fans: 4x 140mm Noctua AF-14 & 1x 120mm Noctua AF-12 Gaming and productivity have been fantastic with no issues. I really want more GPU power, but I'm waiting for the prices to come down for Nvidia or for AMD to get their driver act together. GTX 1070s can be had for under $200 used, and compare well to GTX 1660 Supers (We got ours before this was an option). If you have the money The 2070 S would be my go to. I could have invested the cost of the expensive fans and CPU cooler to a faster video card or 3900x, but having a system that's quiet, cool, and fast is important to me. Here's to hoping Ryzen continues down this path!

This is by far the best CPU I've ever bought. It was a great price and used hardly any power for how powerful it was. It's remarkably still a good CPU to this day for gaming, even though it's finally starting to fall behind. When I upgrade this CPU, I'm moving over to AM5, so I will have to replace the entire PC. It was easy to install and update, and the thermals are easy to manage. Video and streaming were always great.

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X is an absolute powerhouse. With 8 cores and 16 threads, it delivers blazing-fast performance across the board. Whether I’m gaming, streaming, or handling demanding workloads, this processor tackles it all without breaking a sweat. Multitasking is seamless — I can run multiple resource-heavy apps simultaneously with zero lag. It’s honestly one of the most noticeable upgrades I’ve made to my system. What really makes this CPU shine is the price-to-performance ratio. AMD delivers Intel-level performance (if not better) at a fraction of the cost. For budget-conscious builders looking for high-end results, this is a no-brainer. The Wraith Prism cooler included in the box is a great bonus — it keeps temps in check and looks fantastic with RGB lighting. No need for an aftermarket cooler unless you're pushing extreme overclocks. Gaming? Buttery smooth. The 7nm Zen 2 architecture offers not only excellent performance but also great power efficiency. And with AMD’s continued support for the AM4 platform, future upgrades are easy and affordable. Verdict: Top-tier performance, excellent multitasking, solid bundled cooler, and long-term platform support — the Ryzen 7 3700X hits all the right notes.

Good bang for your buck$! This was used for a new PC build, replacing my previous dinosaur which was also a AMD PC built back in Oct 2010. And its still running fine just thought I was overdue for an upgrade. And an Upgrade this is!! I wasnt much of a gamer before but I do a lot of video editing and processing and this 3700X has GREATLY increased my production wait times! Which freed up lots of time to do other things. I paired this CPU with a Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE V2 , 64GB Crucial Pro RAM, everything has worked great right out of the box. A $500 pc build Base clock is 3.6Ghz but during testing, everything set to auto in the bios, Im seeing 4.5~4.8 Ghz regularly on HWmonitor...maybe i won the silicon lottery? The Wraith cooler is okay, it keeps things under 80C with fan running at 99%, it never hits 100%. Which i think its usable long term, but there are cheap options out there for air cooling. The cooler you keep things the longer they will last. One issue i noticed is the heat from the cooler blows hot air on the ram and video card. Though Im am testing on a bench top, so this might change a little once i place inside my case with exhaust fans. Nice CPU for the $ and its faster than my expectations ever were. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an upgrade.

Bought this over the 3800X because of reviewers like Steve Burke who showed that real-world performance was 1-2% difference. It has a lower TDP than the 3800X which has almost nothing to do with power consumption so I don't even know why they emphasize that in marketing materials. --The Wraith Prism cooler-- Main thing to really review here is the stock cooler which is awesome. I've never kept on a stock cooler. I did with this CPU. With good case cooling you can get to within 100mhz of max these chips can OC (before going into the Twilight Zone) with the stock cooler. It also looks really nice too. I put down some Noctua NT-H1 that I had instead of the included compound. Comparison benches of the cooler on various sites and YT channels show that it performs on-par with 3rd party air cooling. It even comes within 5C of the Noctua NT-D15. This was great to see because I cannot find my Hyper 212 EVO adapters anywhere. It's been sitting on an Intel chip for the past 5 years. That right there saved me about $40. The bad thing is it's LOUD. With a large tower cooler a variable speed fan is not really even necessary. I kept my old 212 EVO quite cool with up to +1.2GHZ OC at a constant quiet 1200 RPM with a 120mm. That's where a tower cooler will really benefit you. --RGB-- The RGBs on the cooler look nice but I need to use the USB 2.0 header in order to get full use out of it because the 12V LED plug they also include is not for ARGB, so all I can do with it is control fan lights with static, breathing, and color change. The rings and AMD logo will just sit on default. Because of this I can't sync it through with my motherboard's software (Gigabyte Fusion) if I want all the RGB options. I don't know why they didn't make it compatible with 5V ARGB, which would allow our motherboard software sync and have more control. RGB/LED really needs standardization if companies plan to continue that route. Probably not AMD's fault here. It's a nice addition. --Overclocking-- No point in getting an unlocked CPU without getting some free performance out of it! Overclocking is... interesting. I'm familiar with Intel OCing but AMD Ryzen is a different beast. Intel is pretty much: "If you have the cooling, keep jumping up the voltage." This yields in really good OCs on Intel, well past 1GHz over stock for everyday use. AMD has mostly automated the process. The OC is enabled by default through Precision Boost (not the same as Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO)). The difference between PB and PBO is that PBO will raise the motherboard's power limits but it DOES NOT raise the CPU's PB thermal throttle limit. PB is an algorithm that will adjust each core clock until it reaches some magical limit. AMD hasn't published the thermal numbers of what that limit is. But it's far and away better than an all-core OC which is terrible on Ryzen 3000 series. Out of the box it gets 4.225 GHz for me under load which is close to that 4.300 threshold where many people start seeing instability. Temps approach 60C there. Not bad for a STOCK cooler. Use PBO to get a little more (maybe). In addition you could drop some voltages and get really cool with only a minimal clock loss in PBO (I was doing 4.190) at 55C max. You can OC the oldschool way if you want but don't expect a significant performance increase, even with liquid nitrogen. The biggest benefit for manual overclocking is power efficiency and a less sensitive clock changing. The AMD Ryzen Master software is nice and allows for different OC profiles, such as Gaming which will only activate in games. --TL;DR-- TL;DR: Incredible and beautiful stock cooler, but is a jet turbine. The default-enabled Precision Boost will not be far from max these chips can really OC to. Basically a set and forget OC if that's what you want.

Whether I'm gaming, streaming, or tackling heavy workloads, this processor handles everything effortlessly. The multitasking capabilities are incredible—no more lag or slowdowns, even with multiple demanding applications running. One of the best things about this CPU is its amazing price. AMD has managed to offer Intel-level performance (or better!) at a much more affordable cost, making it a no-brainer for budget-conscious builders who still want top-tier power. The included Wraith Prism cooler is a nice bonus, keeping temps low while looking great with its RGB lighting. Gaming is buttery smooth, and the 7nm Zen 2 architecture ensures excellent power efficiency. Plus, with AMD’s support for the AM4 platform, upgrading in the future is a breeze. If you're still stuck in the "Intel vs. AMD" debate, let me settle it—AMD is absolutely on par with Intel now, and in many cases, outperforms them for the price. The Ryzen 7 3700X proves that you don’t need to break the bank for elite performance. Five stars—highly recommended!

The performance of the Ryzen 7 3700X was everything it was advertised to be. I was looking for a CPU to provide high performance with the lowest TDP and the 3700X fit the bill. I am rating it as 5 stars in warmth because at 65W TDP it isn't warm at all even under load according to SpeedFan. Installation was typically easy as it is for all AM4 sockets. However, after one month of stable operation my computer suddenly and without warning stopped and there was zero output from the HDMI port. To be clear, it was not an OS crash and there was Win10 BSOD or memory dump. When I power cycled the computer there was no POST, video output from the HDMI port at all, and most strangely not BIOS error beeps to indicate that either the graphics card or CPU was not present. My first attempt at fault isolation was to test the graphics card in a different computer and it worked fine. I then tested the DDR4 DIMMs in a different computer and they were working fine. My third assumption was that the motherboard had failed so I returned that one for exchange and ended up with a different brand and model. When I reinstalled the CPU, graphics card, and RAM in the new motherboard I got no POST, no video output, and no BIOS beeps. At this point it was apparent to me that the CPU was the failed component. I bought at much cheaper Ryzen 3 3200 as a stopgap replacement and it worked fine as soon as I powered it up. I have never had a CPU fail on a computer that I owned going all the way back to my first Intel 8088 CPU and first AMD K2. I contacted AMD via their customer service website and requested RMA. They responded immediately with an RMA and I followed the instructions to carefully package the CPU and return it for their examination. **Be very careful not to physically damage or even scuff the top of the CPU if you have to return it**. AMD makes very clear on their website that bent or broken pins will not be considered a component failure and the evidence of damage to the top thermal conduction surface to include scrathes will also be considered evidence of customer inflicted damage. I carefully followed the procedures and repackaged the 3700X after delicately wiping off the thermal paste and sent it back to AMD. Within a week of shipping the failed CPU back to AMD they contacted me by email to let me know that they had confirmed the CPU failed and were sending to me a new retail boxed 3700X that arrived 7 days after I received it. I am very pleased with the customer support from AMD and I look forward to installing and testing the new Ryzen 7 3700X. After a lengthly burn-in period I will consider updating the stability rating for this CPU. My first CPU was probably an outlier but I will leave the stability rating at 1 star so that my experience can be a data point for those considering the 3700X.

This processor came with a stock AMD heatsink, and has stood the test of time for the last 6 years. I have only recently upgraded because I had money for a new build. I have seen zero performance drop off this thing still games just fine today, great budget CPU if you can find it, I can definitely speak to it's reliability and buck for buck capability of it's time.
