Customer Ratings & Reviews

Powerhouse for balance gaming and productivity. Very good temperatures too.

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

Good for multi tasking. Also cheaper that most the other chips for a small difference.

one of the best CPU's I have ever had great performance in gaming and multi tasking. Great performance for the price.

Amazing cpu! Was hesitant between this and a older one and Best Buy employees helped me to the right choice. Blazing fast and you can definitely feel the difference in power consumption

Ryzen is an amazing brand, my pc runs like a champ with this product!

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.

[Employee of bestbuy] 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.

Has been a good upgrade so far with noticeable fps improvement from my 5600x

great for fps games temps low for productivity is amazing

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

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

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!

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

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

Needed to upgrade systems as an emergency and well this am5 platform is sweet and cool!!

Was worried from reviews online, but coming from a R7 3700X, WOW. What an improvement. My framerate has doubled on average in most games using my 4070. I did not realize my old CPU was bottlenecking me so hard. And this CPU uses way less energy to get the performance as well. Win win.

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

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
