Q: What is the base clock frequency of this processor?

A: The CPU base clock frequency is 4.7 GHz.

Q: Is this processor unlocked for overclocking?

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.

    Amd Ryzen 5 7600x

    Solid processor, probably the best you can get for AM5 if you're looking for a budget type build. this performs better than the 7700x and is a solid choice that you won't have to upgrade for another 3-5 years. Works great with my 4070 ti super, asus tuf gaming x670e plus wifi. Id give this cpu a 10/10.

    AM5 is here to stay. A good start to the platform

    Not at all as bad as tech YouTubers try to make it out to be. This is a solid 6 core 12 thread gaming workhorse and it doesn't try to be anything else. I ultimately didn't keep my 7600x although all I do is game on my machines. Through a long set of troubleshooting brand new hardware making up an entire system... I didn't find out until I finally replaced the motherboard that that's where the problem lied. At time of writing, there is now the 7600 non-X CPU out there (I got my 7600x for the MSRP of non-X anyway) that may be an easier pill to swallow, being it includes a cooler. But this CPU does exactly what it's intended to do. It pushed frames to my 7900 XTX just fine!
