    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

    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.

    Great processor, no problems so far. Easy install, should be future proofed for 5-10 years
