The AMD Ryzen 7 3800X is the ultimate desktop processor for gamers, creative professionals and enthusiasts. It has eight cores and can process up to 16 threads simultaneously thanks to multithreading. The standard clock rate is 3.9 GHz and with the Turbo-Core the CPU can even reach up to 4.5 GHz. The processor is based on AMD's Zen 2 architecture and features an open multiplier for easy overclocking. It fits on the AM4 socket and supports DDR4 memory. The Ryzen 7 3800X model comes with a very special boxed cooler. The Wraith Prism features a transparent fan with integrated LEDs, and the AMD logo also shines in selectable colors. If you have a mainboard with a 4-pin LED connector, you can use it to control the lighting. A small switch even allows the fan speed to be controlled. The cooler can cool the Ryzen CPU adequately and does this with a pleasantly moderate background noise.
