Gen 4 AMD CPU Runs All My Games Without Issues

AMD Ryzen 9 7900X - Zen 4 12-Core 4.7 GHz - Socket AM5 - 170W Desktop Processor (100-100000589WOF)
AMD Ryzen 9 7900X - Zen 4 12-Core 4.7 GHz - Socket AM5 - 170W Desktop Processor (100-100000589WOF)

Pros: Easy Install for first time PC Builder Most games I play it never gets above 65C Despite being an older gen CPU, it rarely has more than 70% utilization (50% in most games), so no bottleneck.

Cons: None at this time

Overall Review: 1st time PC Builder and Gen 5 CPUs were a bit too expensive for my budget, so I went with this Gen 4 Ryzen 9 7900x. I'm using this CPU with an Nvidia 5070 12GB GPU and Crucial Pro 6000mHz CL36 DDR5. Despite not being an X3D CPU, it runs all my games (INZOI, Enshrouded, BG3, Outer Worlds 1, Diablo IV, WOW, The Sims 4) @ 1440p on high with no trouble. This CPU rarely gets above 65C or 70% utilization when gaming. Very pleased with my purchase after 30 days of use.

Easy to install AIO and working great after 30 days

MSI MAG Coreliquid A13 240 White - AIO ARGB Liquid Cooling - 240mm Radiator - Dual 120mm ARGB PWM Fans - EZ Connect - LGA 1700/1851/AM5/AM4 Compatible

Pros: This MSI MAG Coreliquid A13 cooler came bundled with my AMD CPU in October. Easy to install for a new PC Builder. Keeps my AMD Ryzen 9 7900x CPU cool, I've never had temps > 65C even when gaming.

Cons: The tubes are a bit stiff which made it harder to position in my case than I would have liked. I suspect this would happen with any new AIO though.

Overall Review: I'm a first time PC Builder and had never seen an AIO before but I found this cooler easy to install using the manual provided by MSI (QR code on box). After using it for the past 30 days in my new build I have no complaints. My temperatures have never gotten above 65C, the fans aren't too loud, and I was able to sync the RGB to my motherboard and Corsair fans (with Corsair's Commander Duo) with no trouble.
