AMD Ryzen 3600XT, 3800XT and 3900XT Review

Just bought a 3900X last week, built the system today (Wed. 29th 2020), and it rocks! I recycled my old Noctua NH-D14 with the mounting kit, and off it goes! It's *hot* in the south of France now, temps reach 29°C in my office... and the Ryzen does not go beyond 75°C fully loaded with the Noctua. This is proof that to get the most out of these babies, you definitely *have to* put some decent cooling solution on top of them!
The 3900XT would need an AIO, and that's not an option for me. The price difference is not justified by the minimal if not non-existent performance gains of the XT version.
 
Now I was able to buy the XT for $10 more than the X. Pretty logical to buy the XT. With 5000 coming soon and still on 500 series board, great way to get in.
