This CPU can do everything I would need to do on a home system

Had to return, waiting on new cpu. Return process was easy. Update! Received a new CPU and it worked great! So far so good. The 9700x runs VERY cool and boosts up to 5.5 ghz. I'm using an ARCTIC COOLING Liquid Freezer III - 240 and even during stress tests it only gets to 55c.


- Extreme value vs competition in not only raw game performance but power consumption - Modern hardware has made these new product line launches a lot smoother, was an easy bios flash to a first boot into windows vs some of the mess of the initial Ryzen launch I remember with my 1700x

Unreal performance. The 3d vcache really helps games Cools a lot easier than my previous 5950x TDP is amazing for performance

Works great, awe-some graphic. I should of opted for the Ryzen 7 , next one be.

Great performance and temps. Coming from 10600K this doubled my frame rates at 4K in GTA5 and made Cities Skylines 2 actually playable with 300k+ citizens. Every other game is buttery smooth. 7600mhz XMP running without a hitch. I'm cooling on air with no thermal throttling using a Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 and Intel Performance defaults. Adobe Premiere feels like it's running on a commercial workstation. Complex 3D print files slice instantly and 3D modeling loves this new chip


I didn't care so much about the cost considering I was rebuilding from the ground up. I used an AsRock Taichi Carrara main board with Corsair MP600 PRO LPX M.2 2280 2TB PCI-Express 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 3D Internal Solid State Drive, 64 gigs of GSkill ram, a 3 fan radiator to assist keeping the processor cool. This was running at 5.6ghz while playing FarCry 5 for a couple of hours and I did not notice the fans needing a boost to cool this down. Ran quietly and performed perfectly!

Very Fast and compliments the 4070 TI very well.

Fast processor, handles everything I've thrown at it so far, I have no complaints, been using AMD for many years and they still do not disappoint.

I had no problem installing into my pc.

Less power draw, lower temps, better frame rates, then 7700x. Seems better than outgoing model my opinion.

Best processor gaming

It's a nice chip. I have a graphics card so I didn't need the K version; the KF works just fine.

- Fast, super fast, very fast. - Worked out of the box. - Insane number of cores.

- it's super fast, and does everything I need it to do when it comes to gaming, 3D modeling, multi-tasking, etc. for the price this was an amazing deal.

This chip just rocks. Cooling has not been an issue. It would be nice to have more flexibility in core parking/unparking but 3rd party software seems to be working fine for me.

More CPU than necessary for web browsing, YouTube and Photoshop. Stock cooler works well. Much faster than her AM2 build I'd done for her years ago that started to have problems from either dust or just old age.

It was choppy preety quick at first with Patriot DDR5 4800(2 x 8GB), a very basic very good RAM. After memtest my ram and turning this machine off and on for a few weeks and trying different spinning hard drives I bought an almost new 4GB western Digital with a 256mb cache. The new hard drive I think smoothed it out and the feel of the computer, response beats my X299 with Platinum 3600 ram. I will not have the move capacity I am guessing, but I am happy I am tring the new platform and keeping this one simple will help as my first small DDR4 broke part way when I plugged in the wrong vidio adaptor. Gone is the run away clock speeds that happened with new DDR4, the guys got this right. As alway, I notice, the just below the top of the line CPU is the best deal for the money. I did try a 12900K with the graphics chip and sold it to keep this one. Thoses graphics chips that are on cpu die I don't think will ever match a video card and I did not like the faster cpu if I used its onboard graphics chip, it was useless. The debt I incured on that cpu, which I sold, went to ram for picking up some old threadripper set up and another old X299.
