    Great Handled Work load

    Never had an issue with it bough new in February and still running great, I don’t ever see it go above 5% usage at idle and never higher 65% under load great alternative to 9800X3D

    SledgeHammer for tasks

    This is my 2nd 9950x, upgrading from a 7950x while the price is right. This chip runs anything i want to do extremely well weather its content creation, or just gaming. Remember, overkill is underrated. I'm running this on an x870e platform but, i know first hand this works well on the X670/E as well. Remember to pair this with the fastest and lowest latency memory you can.
