OcUK Ryzen 9 3950X review thread

Has anyone else received their codes to redeem their games and xbox pass.

I have received mine but the game it's for Tom Clancy's Division 2 not Outer World and Boarderlands?

I think I'd rather have Division 2 anyway but I'm just wondering if this has happend to anyone else?

No problem, including the backorders we had we shipped 250 units since they arrived. Selling like crazy but I do believe were only stockist at MSRP and have a lot more stock than anyone else by considerable quantity and more expected. :)
 
upgraded from 3900 to 3950 and really happy with the results, my old 3900 performance seemed to bump about, get 9400 in cinebench, my 3900 would sometimes hit 7000 but usually between 6500 and 7000.

Nephew is getting a nice upgrade for his 4790k to the 3900 so everyone’s a winner
 
OK, been waiting for the new Mac Pro, now thinking it's going to be too expensive for spec I want but still undecided.

As I'm well out of touch with PC CPU's what would be my best bet for Photo/Video Editing (Adobe suite) and Gaming (if I was gaming it would have to be 4K). Options 3950X, 9900K, 10900X

Thanks :)

4K reviews for CPU's don't really matter/exist often as you are effectively GPU bound at that resolution, so that's why most CPU reviews will be at 1080p

As posted, your CPU will barely matter at 4K as graphics cards mostly struggle to hit 60fps at that resolution.
As for Adobe... How is your workload split between Photoshop and Premiere? Photoshop mostly cares about single thread performance (9900k), while Premiere and other video software scale out well with more cores (3900X/3950X).
Single core performance on these AMD chips is behind, but not that far behind Intel's current best.
The 10900X is an awful buy unless you really need more PCIE lanes and can't afford Threadripper 3.

Thanks, I had noticed most reviews were 1080p which at the time I thought was quite strange

80% Lightroom/Photoshop 20% (if not less) Premiere/After effects. The video side may have been more but I find my Quad Core 4Ghz i7 in the Mac a little slow on timeline playback and rendering. Ideally I would have liked to have tried before buying as I can only guess if I'd see an improvement on any upgrade but that's not really possible.

So this set of benchmarks looks highly relevant to you:

Bear in mind they're testing with the latest Adobe versions here. Older versions do not scale out as well as far as I remember. Last time I looked a 3900x was not beating a 9900k in photoshop. Now it is. I might've been thinking of an 8 core chip, though. Video side is a pretty hefty win for AMD at most pricepoints.
Based on that... A 3900X will do you proud, 3950X if you can justify the extra cost per core. I implore you to make up your own mind, though.

Loving my 3950, runs cooler than the 3900 did, snappier overall.

Mine was running at 29’c with the H100i V2 but that was when the system was idle, I’ve got a new case and 6 new fans arriving tomorrow so I can start benching it properly, should get some good results as I have a new 2080Ti arriving tomorrow too.

I use a H115i, i dont get temps anything like that, in games, i get mid 60's which i thought was pretty good. About 10C less than the 3900x.

I do run my fans all silently though.
