    I wanted a 9900X, but it just happened to be in stock after i bought this. No problem, as the price was much better and it far surpassed what i had. It does run hot and you have to did in the BIOS to cool it down. The speed is shocking, but i mainly got it for the pcie 4/5.0. It does make difference on a gpu like the RTX 4080. An hour and a half 720p video now renders in 7 minutes. Video games look cleaner and run smoother. All textures are clear and you can even read labels on boxes! I played a few games that never gave me issues on the last setup, but they look so much more shockingly better with stronger color info, detail and cleaness. Watching video and films reveals more detail and the full limits of video quality. I should done it earlier, but I did try intel, but the 14900k would never boot up. AMD has AVX512, while intel does not. Im still shocjed that it out performs my previous intel 12-core.

    I recently upgraded to the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X, and it has exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I installed it, the performance boost was immediately noticeable, this processor handles multitasking, gaming, and demanding workloads effortlessly. Paired with a good cooling solution, it runs smoothly even under heavy loads. Whether you’re gaming at high frame rates, streaming, or running intensive applications like video editing and 3D rendering, this CPU delivers incredible efficiency and power. Additionally, the new AM5 socket future-proofs my build, making it a solid investment for upcoming upgrades. If you're looking for a high-performance processor that balances speed, efficiency, and reliability, the Ryzen 9 7900X is absolutely worth it! Highly recommended!

    Read some stuff about this not necessarily being designed for gaming. However, this has handled every game I've thrown at it, plus I love the design of the AM5 chip set, having contacts instead of pins is a game changer for my anxiety levels. Great performance and temps stay low with a fan cooler. This is an easy buy for sure.

    This CPU has definitely surpassed my expectations. It never heats passed the typical AMD processor family, and it doesn't even 'blink and eye' or max out on my CPU-heavy Flight Simulator program, just buzzes along even better than my previous 8-core Ryzen 7. Love this computer brain, for all that I put it through. Totally recommend.

    AMD - Ryzen 9 7900X 12-core - 24-Thread 4.7 GHz (5

    The Ryzen 9 7900X is a powerhouse CPU, delivering exceptional multi-threaded performance that’s ideal for heavy tasks like video editing and 3D rendering. With 12 cores and 24 threads, it’s more than capable of handling demanding applications and multitasking without a hitch. While it performs well in gaming, users focused primarily on gaming might find similar FPS from cheaper alternatives, as the extra cores are geared more toward productivity. However, it does require a quality cooling solution due to its tendency to run hot under load, and with its AM5 platform’s exclusive support for DDR5, an upgrade may require some investment in additional hardware.

    This thing is FAST! And it does run pretty warm under heavy loads without the proper cooling. I am running it with a Corsair 360mm radiator AIO and I drop to idle temps as low as 25c and as high as around ~60c during gaming (even long sessions). However, if you start doing photo editing, video editing, or any other sort of heavy workload, it will easily hit +70c after a while. I would heavily recommend on getting a good AIO preferably a 360mm if you are gonna get this CPU.

    This thing is great. Everything loads faster and just is faster in general. Do not look at the cpu temp with the same expectation as older generations. They wrw rated for much higher temps and will idle at a higher temp than most arw used to seeing. It takes in much more power than other chips so thay is what causes the temperature increases

    I'm happy with this processor . It's fast and my new 'built' computer boots much faster than the computer it replaces. I paired it with the 4060 GPU AMD and I put 2-2 TB SSD's in for storage. I have 64 GB RAM using the G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6400 Desktop Memory Model F5-6400J3239G16GX2-TZ5RK and the GAMEMAX Master TG Black Tempered Glass Full Tower Computer Case w/3x120mm Autoflow Rainbow Fans (Pre-Installed). I;m using CORSAIR RMe Series RM1200e ATX Power Supply – Fully Modular – ATX 3.0 – 80 PLUS Gold – Cybenetics Platinum – Low-Noise – .. and the MB is an ASUS TUF GAMING B650-E WIFI AMD B650 AM5 ATX motherboard, DDR5, 8+2 teamed power stages, PCIe 5.0, a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot, Use this config for gaming and general computing

    This cpu was a godsend for upgrading from an i9 9900k, it's a perfect match for my 4080 and helps it pump 90-110fps in Cyberpunk Overdrive with Frame gen on. Packaged with Starfield premium, this is a wonderful value and offers a wonderful experience. Amd's software is great too, and it runs CS2 on highest settings without fidelity fx on, offering sub 400 fps.
