AMD Ryzen™ 7 9700X 8-Core, 16-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor

Top Tier CPU you won’t have to upgrade for years
You should get a 8 core chip over the cheaper 6 core chipsIt’s not just productivity but also gaming and you won’t need to upgrade for a number of yearsIt’s Rock Solid and super fast also very easy to cool.yes review sites were disappointed about the performance increase over the 7700Xbut the improvements are also a better memory controller and less power (Cooler running)Don’t cheap out on the CPU

Another great AMD
I have run AMD CPUs for a while now in most of my builds and had great luck with them. I was upgrading from a 3600 and saw that I could get the 9700X with much better benchmark scores without having to increase past 65W TDP. I ran Passmark on it and came back with slightly better than their average score for the CPU, so I am happy. Running it with an MSI X670 Tomahawk board, Noctua NH-D15 cooler, 32 GB of Teamgroup RAM, and a Radeon 6650 XT. It has performed excellently both in workstation type usage as well as medium-heavy gaming and has been a large upgrade in real-world observable speed from my 3600.

After Nov 2024 Updates We’ll Worth It
Using 9000 AMD series you will need to BIOS FLASH your motherboard before installation for it to work.Latest AMD Nov 2024 updates finally unlocked the potential of the 9000 series and also brought a105 watt mode. There hasn’t been much difference or improvement of the 7700X over the 9700X and even power draw when tested isn’t much different, until recently.After latest updates the 9700X is avaraging a 12-16% improvement over the 7700X and using slightly less power draw. More than the original advertised 65w sure but with 105w mode enabled still proving to be more efficient and most definitely running cooler temperatures. Using an X670e motherboard, currently my PC case fans are barely functional but with just a cheap 6 heat pipe horizontally mounted heatsink cooler and added 120mm Noctua on top of it, the CPU has not passed 65 C temps.My experience has been plug and play, using MSI BIOS auto overclock the CPU regularly engages a speeds of 5.4Ghz.I was apprehensive if the 9700X was worth while over the 7700X. Before Nov the answer was no. But now after the latest updates I can confidently say yes.

Good Performance and Runs Cool.
The Ryzen 7 9700X has been a good upgrade for my PC. This 8-core, 16-thread processor delivers a balance of gaming performance and productivity. I can run most games at a consistent 150 FPS. Whether I’m playing graphically intense AAA titles or editing video, everything runs smooth as silk.One of the standout features is its low TDP, which makes it incredibly easy to cool. Even during extended gaming sessions, the temps stay well under 85°C with a standard air cooler. No need for an elaborate cooling setup—it’s efficient and reliable right out of the box.The unlocked design also offers room for tweaking, and I’ve had no issues with stability during overclocking. It’s perfect for gaming, streaming, and even productivity tasks like video editing.If you’re looking for a processor that balances power, efficiency, and value, the Ryzen 7 9700X is an good choice. I couldn’t be happier with its performance

Excelente procesador, su rendimiento es excepcional y sus temperaturas muy buenas, el único pero que le pondría es el precio pero fuera de eso es una excelente compra. Tengo el procesador con un enfriamiento liquido de 360mm pero por lo que veo puede ir con un enfriador de aire pero de doble torre como el Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120

Der Ryzen 7 9700x ist ein sehr guter Prozessor der schön kühl bleibt mit hilfe eine 240mm AIO. Und ich kann den MSFS 2020 zusammen mit einer guten GPU auf Ultra einstellungen und 4k monitor problemlos spielen

I was realy impresed, single core performance is just wow, but multicore lacks a little power, but realy good processor
