Ryzen Threadripper 1920x

Is there anything about this that wouldn’t be a good deal for $200?

like are the motherboards, coolers or anything crazy expensive?

 

Also would it be a waste for a mainly gaming computer with some hobby graphics work.

You'd be far better served going 2nd/3rd Gen AM4 for what a board would cost to go with that.

That chip would be a detriment in gaming scenarios when compared to mainstream stuff.

From PC Partpicker, the cheapest compatible board with the 1920X is $240 USD. You'd also need to find an aftermarket cooler that supports it because it doesn't come with a cooler. In the end though, it won't be as good for gaming due to the issue that to use all of the cores in the 1920X, you have to use NUMA, which impacts performance for a lot of games and applications that aren't NUMA aware.

 

If you want the cores, get a Ryzen 9. It'll also be better suited for gaming.

That’s what I thought but I wanted to make sure.

 

They are on amazon for $196 and free shipping

 

Thenks for the help
