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.

Zero issues with the chip. Overclocked to 4.5 ghz all core out of the gate. Stock cooler temps haven't gone over 75 c while gaming. Was quite surprised.

Great upgrade from AM4 3700x Low Power Draw Simple TDP 105 setting in BIOS O/C room Uses way less power than most Blue team parts.



- Blazing fast - Cool - Easy setup - No issues - Do I say more?

fast fast fast

Stable OC at pretty low voltage


- Fast - Not too hot when gaming - FAAAST

My specific cpu can handle PBO -30 and EXPO at 6k.

- Linux: Total of 32 processors activated (274665.92 BogoMIPS) !! - Easy to install - runs cool - tctl averages 50c, peaks around 90c under heavy load (with a 240 AIO). - very stable with expo at 6000mhz, and two gen 5 ssd.

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

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.

Runs efficiently and without struggle under a heavy load.

CPU is quick and power efficient.

- Boosts to 5.55ghz (150mhz above the 5.4ghz advertised) - No pins on CPU. Easy to install. - Installed, booted. No problems.
