The AMD Ryzen Threadripper Series CPU is more of a gaming processing unit and it more expensive than most. It is on newegg for $549.99. As I was searching through newegg looking for the cheapest CPU for the ROG ZENITH EXTREME motherboard. The CPU for this motherboard is the only option. It is such a great CPU. Once I read more about it I thought to myself “I need this CPU for my motherboard.” The only downside to this CPU is the size of it. It is very large to meet all the computing needs. As you can see in the following photo it is much larger than the average CPU type.
I have been in the process of building my own motherboard for a month or so. It has taken some time to settle on the ASUS ROG ZENITH EXTREME. I got everything ordered about a week and a half ago and it finally got here two days ago!
Here are some specifications for the best CPU for this recommended motherboard.
Specifications:
- Clock Speed – 3.8GHz
- Turbo – 4.0 GHz
- Socket – sTR4
- Cache
- L1 Cache – 768 KB
- L2 Cache – 4 MB
- L3 Cache – 16 MB
- 8 Core
- 16 Threads
- Passmark – Ranking is 16,416
This CPU is clearly for gaming purposes, once I got it all hooked up and got everything running it booted it up. The graphics were so much better than my last PC/motherboard was. I noticed no lagging, and how much faster everything ran. I did not experience any problems. Overall I highly recommend this CPU! Remember I used it on the ROG ZENITH EXTREME motherboard. I had no problems at all, it ran fast, and the graphics were great and did not lag.
