Whether you're rendering, designing, editing, composing, creating digital models, or playing games, its performance will impress you everywhere. It is clocked at 3.7 GHz and can reach up to 4.5 GHz with Boost, delivering unprecedented performance in whatever you do!

The ultimate platform for high-performance computer enthusiasts

Enhance your speed with PCIe 4.0® connectivity. Supporting AMD 3rd Gen Ryzen™ Threadripper™ processors, the new TRX40 platform is the pinnacle of desktop computing. Designed for serious visual effects artists, data scientists, or anyone who takes their time seriously, the scalable AMD TRX40 chipset offers unprecedented expansion for serious multi-GPU and NVMe arrays thanks to pioneering PCIe® 4.0 connectivity, exclusively for this high-end desktop platform. Meanwhile, quad channel DDR4, available ECC support, and unlocked overclocking make the TRX40 ideal for users who depend on serious computations.

Unleash the power of Ryzen with Zen 2 architecture

Setting the bar for high-performance cloud computing, corporate productivity, stunning visual experiences, gaming, and streaming, requires increasing computational performance with optimal energy efficiency. From the beginning, AMD engineers designed the new "Zen 2" core to meet these demands with higher core performance, larger caches, and powerful multi-threading capabilities.

AMD Ryzen Master Utility

The AMD Ryzen Master technology provides up to four profiles for storing user-defined custom configurations for both the CPU and the integrated Radeon Vega graphics and DDR4 memory. You can adjust active cores, integrated graphics frequency, and memory timings to optimize overall performance or fine-tune settings for your favorite applications.

    General:
    I have had it since early January 2021, and so far I am completely satisfied. I bought it for €1300, prices have skyrocketed for some reason with processors, so if you see anything above €1500 it is quite expensive (for example, when I bought the 3960x, the 3970x cost about €1750).

    --- Computer:
    My computer cost a total of about €5000 (excluding the monitor)
    ** Graphics Card: Asus RTX 3070 TUF OC (with 2021 prices)
    ** Main Hard Drive: 970evo
    ** Memory: Patriot Viper Steel 128GB (4x32GB) at 3600MHz, at 64GB (2 modules) they run at 3600MHz but at 128GB (4 modules) I have to run them at stock 2800MHz because otherwise it is not supported by the processor, it ran at 3000MHz but sometimes it would crash with a black screen. Nevertheless, because it is quad channel, it does not lack in anything.
    ** Case: Obsidian 750D (behemoth)
    ** Power Supply: BeQuiet 1500w (totally overkill for now)
    And many other things like an additional 10TB HDD for backups, BlueRay Recorder, etc. I made quite a few splurges but I was going in a different direction and found other things in the end because many parts were not available, like I wanted a 3080 and a 1000W PSU but everything was out of stock.

    --- Rendering:
    In rendering, I come from an i5 with 4/4 cpu/threads and I just feel like the bar glides and goes at the speed of light. In fact, it has so many cores that many programs don’t even utilize them all.

    --- Cooler:
    I put a noctua cooler on it instead of water cooling because I read a lot about water cooling and fortunately, noctua makes incredible coolers, especially for threadripper. When I built the computer, there were still no AIO water coolers specifically for threadrippers because their plates were small and there were no waterblocks in such size while most are round... is there a round processor and I don’t know it?
    Noctua was the first to make one specifically for threadripper with a plate that completely covers the processor and while I had a suspicion that air cooling might not be enough, this beast I installed not only does its job but keeps the temperature as low as possible, if not better than water cooling, due to its huge size, so it has a large metal heat sink.

    --- Multitasking?
    This processor will be very useful for multitasking with applications that require a lot of power or in rendering. I use it in multi-client botting and open about 30 clients in heavy games and the cpu doesn’t go above 25%.

    --- Future proofing
    I am sure that this computer I built will be top for at least 10~15 years because no matter how better processors come out, most people do not buy such beasts, so the applications and their requirements never exceed the performance of this processor.
