    I heard these were kind of underwhelming. As far as I can tell, it works fine. Don't have any issues with it. I'm sure I'd be getting 10ish more FPS elsewhere, but I like having money.

    It’s an excellent processor for raw performance if you don’t need the extra 3d v-cache for major computing work.

    Wonderful CPU. I maintain only utilizing 50% of the cpu 95% of the time, even when playing more demanding games at 1440p 160hz.

    It was terrible, I can barely logon to my computer with out crashing at 100% usage. Forget gaming it just doesn’t happen. Upon trying to return it Best Buy wouldn’t let me because I didn’t have the box.

    Cool CPU

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Cool cpu, meaning it literally runs cool. Using it with a EKWB 240mm AIO and usually see temps around 60c under load. Not to mention a TDP of 65 Watts. I think this cpu gets some undeserved hate. It not only has the benefits of temp and power but I got for $329. Using it with an 7800XT in a rig for gaming at 1440p. No complaints. One of the reviews said pass on the 9700X and wait for the 9800X3D. Which is good advice if you want a bad A CPU for nearly $500 that will stomp all challengers. If you are lucky enough to get one. But if you don't need the overkill, you can spend the $200 saving on a better GPU. Just depends on your needs everyone is different. This is my first AMD cpu in a long time, got tired of Intel changing sockets nearly every generation not to mention their other issues.

    One of, if not THE best gaming CPU for the price. Perfect for 2K or 4K gaming.
