A: Yes, this is an unlocked processor.
Q: How many cores does the Ryzen processor have?
A: This Ryzen processor has 6 cores.
Q: Does it come with a CPU cooler?
A: No it doesn't. The Ryzen 5 7600 65W TDP CPU however does :)
Q: Will this run good with a 4070 super? If so, what motherboard should I get.
A: I know you probably don’t need this answer anymore but in most cases the 4070 super would match just fine with the 7600x. For playing 1440 p and even 4k in some cases this combo would work well. As for the motherboard I recently built a pc with the 7600x but the 4060ti so a weaker version of ur 4070 super , and I opted for the ASUS rog strix b650 A with built in wifi. For my am5 build the motherboard looked like it could fit and do everything I wanted.

AMD does it once again
Great overall chip for a good price. I upgraded from a R5 3600 after a PSU failure and got this on sale ($200 at the time). Works well as both my gaming and software dev rig. Pros: + Performance uplift of Zen 4 is noticeable in single core and multi-core workloads + Good price point for 6 cores + Little guy loves to boost + PCI-e Gen 5 + Doesn't run as hot as the other AM5 chips + Very stable with EXPO'd RAM at 6000MHz + No X3D cache, so no scheduling issues. + Good efficiency. + Stays cool during idle + iGPU. Not really needed when you have a dedicated one, but its pretty performant. Cons: - While AM5 increases the amount of PCI-e lanes, I still find it to be a limiting factor for anything containing more than 1 GPU... my own personal gripe I guess... - Likes to run hot. Anytime a sustained workload gets placed on it, it will keep boosting until it reaches TJMax. Not a problem if you have a good cooler (ps. thermalright has some cheap ones that can handle the power). - Want EXPO speeds above 6000 MHz? Too bad. - AM5 motherboards will run you a pretty penny. Different socket than AM4. However, AMD claims they will support it for a while, so maybe its worth it.

Fantastic CPU and lightning fast.
Despite this being a mid range CPU, it is no slouch. I paired this with a 7700xt and it has handled everything thus far. Coming from Intel, it was an adjustment seeing the temps rise quickly under load. Seeing 85° C is normal during heavier loads. I put a Thermalright Assassin 120x on it for cooling and its temps are perfectly in range with what they should be. Highly recommend.

Nice CPU for beginning. Powerful, low TDP. I will recommend it for peoples, who want to build cheap PC, but get a enough power. But, for me it’s not enough, cause I need more options in multitasking way
