AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 16-Core Processor

This is an excellent multicore processor with caveats. There are numerous reviews of this processor on the web so I'll just give my thoughts on it. The biggest caveat is the heat. This chip gets hot and without a good cooling solution the chip will hit 95 Celsius very quickly. For cooling I went with a 420 aio and it keeps the cpu in the 60 to 80 Celsius range. I game mostly but with enough productivity to make a 3d v cache not the best solution for my needs. I game on a widescreen so my resolution is more GPU bound anyway. For gaming this processor works just fine, I've had no issues or complaints about performance. My GPU is a 4080 so it pairs well with this level of cores and threads. My only other observation is it's not a quiet pc solution. To keep it cool the fans really have to ramp up so if that's a bother then you might not like this processor. For a good beast of a processor I highly recommend it.
