Ryzen Threadripper 3960X 24-Core 3.8 GHz Socket sTRX4 280W Desktop Processor

Works well. Used conductonaut compound on it with a Noctua (dual fan) cooler and it runs at 60C under full load with the fans basically running silently. The huge surface area of the package probably helps.

The retail packaging is rather elaborate and seems rather more for jewellery (which it shares the price with). However the chip is delivered well protected. It is supplied with a torque wrench to ensure that the bolts locking down the holder on the mainboard are not overtightened. The chip is not supplied with a cooler, so you must find one yourself and ensure that you have the right thermal paste. For gaming it is great but possibly not the best value for money now. Where it excels are apps with lots of threads so graphics/video processing as well as AI/ML. For best performance, you need the right motherboard, I went for the Aorus TRX40 Master and the bios supported this processor out of the box

今年の二月頃に安くなっていたため購入しました。流石の圧巻の24コア48スレッド、タスクマネージャーやCinebenchを見るのがとても楽しかったです。 ただ、TDP280Wは伊達ではなく、CorsairのH100i RGB Platinumではサーマルスロットリングが発生したため、CoolermaterのWraith Ripperに買い換えました。 とても良いCPUだとは思いますが、僕みたいにロマンだけで買ってもゲームや軽い3Dモデリング程度しかしない方には正直オススメ出来ないです。動画編集等をする方にはとても良いCPUだと思います。

Exelente procesador, mejoro los tiempos de render en comparación a dos xeones 2697v3. Llego muy bien empacado y en el tiempo acordado.

Does everything it needs to do fast and efficiently. I lowered the PPT from 280Watts to 180Watts in Bios (can be done in ryzen master as well) and lost only 10% multicore performance and lost 0 single core performance for 40% less energy and heat output. Using this currently with a Noctua NH U9 TR4/SP3 cooler which only supports up to 180Watts of power. Under prime95 for a few hours all core load small FFT the temps stabilize around 80-87 Celcius. Absolute beast and quiet.

I've had the 24 core version since June '21 in my own custom 128GB workstation build. I've pegged it out many times all 24 cores humming away at rendering 3D scanner files in minutes rather than hours and hours. Fun to watch the action on NZXT system monitor as the Threadripper cranks away. Since last December I dove in to AI art with Stable Diffusion-XL. Now the workload has shifted over to my RTX-4000 vid card and is now getting pegged out rather than the Threadripper since AI is geared towards the parallel processing power of graphics cards. Normal 1024 renders in about 15 to 20 seconds. However, when I found a suitable AI workflow to generate rotated 3D images only then did SDXL employ the muscle of the Threadripper to almost 60% rather than 5 to 10% for normal renders. Rotated 3D images took about 70 seconds. Stable Diffusion now offers AI video and SDXL Turbo. Judging from past performance with current AI 3D rotations and morphs to 3D scan render technology, I have complete confidence the 3960X is up to the task when SDXL serves it a load.
