Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great bang for your buck, easy install with lots of guidance.

This CPU has great performance. It is quick on daily tasks and even games at a high level. Best Buy also price matched a competitor so it was an even better deal.

Huge upgrade from my ryzen 5 3600. This thing is a monster. Paired with a 9070xt I’m getting ~110 fps average WITHOUT FSR enabled on a 3440x1440 monitor

Good for the rebuild of my PC monitor everything runs faster

I’ve had this CPU for a while now, nothing but positive things to say about it. It pairs well with older GPU’s to gain max performance

Great product working out of the box when building my gamming PC! Performance was as expected as well.

Amazing product been around over a week since I made my purchase and the pc has been running amazingly

great for fps games temps low for productivity is amazing

I bought the Ryzen 7 9700X from Best Buy and installed it myself, which honestly was a fun part of the whole build. First time dealing with an AM5 chip and it went in smooth, no problems there. As for performance, it’s pretty solid overall. It handles gaming and multitasking well, and I haven’t had any major issues. But if I’m being real, I kind of expected a little more for the price. It’s not bad—just not mind-blowing either. I’d still give it somewhere between a 3.5 and 4 out of 5. If you’re building a new rig and want something current-gen without totally breaking the bank, it’s a great option. Just don’t expect it to feel like a massive jump unless you're upgrading from something really old.

The Ryzen 7 9700-x has a good balance of performance and power( while maintaining efficiency). The single-core performance is also much improved from its predecessor(s). All in all great mid-range chip, just don't expect top of the line benchmarks!

Great unit for the price, low energy use too. I bought the same one from Amazon and returned it because it was defective, might have been a knock off. This one worked great with no problems

Easy install as normal, works great with my new pc build. Much better than my ryzen 7 3700x

Overall great cpu especially at the price I got it at.

This cpu is great, I use it for gaming and a little productivity and it does a good job, paired with a 360 aio the cpu never goes over 65c when under load. Highly Recommend.

Great processor ! Great Price, Power to spare, and Fast !

Built on a MSI tomahawk b650, Vengance DDR5 6400mhz 2x16gb = 32gb , 30800ti founders edition. RUNS GOOD!

Its probably thr best ime ive had so far, it does what its supposed to and honestly changing back to amd is probably the best choice ive done.

I honestly would have gone to a higher specced cpu but for the price and the face my system died i could not refuse this cpu and motherboard upgrade especially since i was on am4 at the time. I am water cooled so it keeps the temps down and unlocking the 105W mode gave it another 11% performance boost!

Fantastic cpu hands down, Better performance better single core slightly higher power usage but phenomenal. If your a hardcore gamer this is as good as 3D cache cpus but 4% difference in latency which is not measurable to eyes take the leap. A great choice for those who can’t reach a 3D cpu in stock the difference is so small I’d recommend this instead

Great processor. The amount of headroom for overclocking is crazy.
