I got the 9800x3D day one of launch, it arrived in 2 days and had absolutely no issues installing it or getting it overclocked. Super quick and stays pretty stable in temperature even under heavy loads.

- Built in Graphics

- Paired with an RX 6600 I got for $220 and a $30 cooler this thing can handle Cyberpunk on High settings, at 70-80% usage, between 4.1- 4.2GHz, barely using over 30W and temps staying around 60 degrees.

Obviously simple to install it make my system run nice and fast. No real issues until I try to setup XMP. I really do like the CPU.

Insane gaming performance

can OC over 5.7Ghz And Eco mode is at least for this one 1.0

Performance in games and applications has been great. There are several guides on youtube to get a bit more performance out of the chip with some undervolting. Zero complaints about performance, just nit picking.


Bought this more for quicksync for transcoding in plex on my unraid server but handles all of my other dockers working at the same time without issues. At first I was getting upset with the temps constantly hitting 90+ but found it was the manufacturer starting with Asu forcing their "optimized" settings. Disabled their settings and now don't see temps over 80 on air.

Fast and efficient Handles undervolting and low tdp ( max 120v set) like a champ with no issues Benchmark scores across the board were withing 15pts of 14900k under s200 overclock

Runs cool Easy to overclock Great for gaming, rendering, encoding, etc.

16 core 32 threats. Powerful and less power demand.

-The snappiest chip ive ever used. What I mean by that is from gaming to simply opening a browser, everything seems instant. It is glorious -Price. The price is on the more expensive side though extremely worth it. -frequency and specs overall are outstanding and perform better than i could have ever imagined.

Dynamic switch 5.8 GHZ and 5.450 GHZ oc very good processor and very underestimated by the media I tested against my 7800x3d and its games for not much both were optimized 7800x3d oc ebclk and negative pbo curve with both of the ram 2x24GB trident z gskill oc 6200 MHZ cl28-38-38-38 on aida the 9700x job maintains a latency of 56.8ns against the 7800x3d 57.6ns

This is the cream of the crop i9 from Intel's LGA 1700 socket. The last dance with the Intel Core i series CPUs as they're rebranding. I've used/tested all LGA 1700 i9 CPUs and this is the best hands down across the board. Do not listen to or watch the 'tech tuber' reviews that blast these things with 500w of power and then whine about temps or power. If you follow Intel's 253w advertised limits and voltage tune your particular chip, they run around mid 70s under heavy AVX load, lower if you have a good cooler/paste. For gaming, you will have even lower temps since you won't get remotely close to the power limits. Easy drop in upgrade if already on an existing LGA 1700 motherboard. I am able to run high memory overclocks with this chip. Not limited to around 6000MTs like some brands. High memory OC are no problemo, and this leads to excellent gaming and application performance. Top tier gaming performance, while having the ability to run many apps and heavy application performance. This isn't a one trick pony with a lowly 8 core design being sold at a premium. All games and apps run fluid and fast, not just ones that fit within the cache. Future proofed with excellent multicore performance and headroom. At it's launch price, this chip is a no brainer if you want the best all around chip.

AMD always had competitive prices, performance amazing. True cores and lower power, power efficient.


- Price per performance - Lower TDP than 5800x - Definitely good enough for gaming

This CPU has worked with everything I throw at it. It never has gone to high temps or usage.

Works great, great price, fast shipping, actually received what is shown.
