AMD Ryzensets 7 9700X Processor (8 Cores/16 Threads) 65W DTP, AM5 socket, 40MB Cache, Up to 5.5 GHz max boost frequency, no cooler

decided to upgrade my 5800x to the 9700x and although on paper its not much of an upgrade (same core and thread count and a smallish clock bump) it really dose feel like an upgrade. the new system responds faster (much improved IPC) it has a snappiness to it that is pleasant to use. the CPU also runs cooler than my 5800x and uses less power. it has been an investment you do need an AM5 motherboard and DDR5 ram. the item arrived well packaged and in good condition. installation was simple (be sure your motherboard has a compatible bios) and i have had Zero stability issues and my RAM runs at 6000mts. I am happy with my purchase would buy again.

Arrived in good condition. Was easy to install. All pwoered up fine. I'm not using it for gaming or anyhting serious right now so its keeping plenty cool enough and the CPU fan I installed is not running fast at all.No complaints about performance although I have combined it with a fiarly decent set of other componnets too.Recomended for the price.

Good value for money, got it on sale.Runs a bit hotter than other CPU'S but easy to keep it around that. Don't have a ridiculous setup at all, only a 240mm aio and it works well.

It was time to rebuild my old PC as it was 13 years old with very few changes since the original build and so wanted a reasonable CPU without spending a ridiculous amount of money and this fit the bill quite nicely.The 9700X has 8 cores / 16 threads and powers through any of the tasks I need it too without problem. The CPU doesn't require a huge power supply. It is fairly light on power consumption compared to some other CPUs on the market.When paired with an AM5 motherboard it is very simple to install. Just slip into the CPU slot and secure in place.The processors base speed is 3.8GHz and it boosts upto 5.5GHz for those more demanding tasks.It doesn't need an overly large CPU cooler to keep the CPU temperatures under control. With that said I was able to reuse my old CPU cooler (the manufacturer supplies updated mounting brackets for AM5 specifications).So far I haven't had any problems with it and it has performed excellently in all tasks given to it.

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700x is a fantastic processor. Now is it good as the 7000x3D, counterparts? No it’s not, but it does keep up well and the differences can be quite minimal from my experience. The CPU, runs cool and boosts well. Additionally has a much better memory controller than its, 7000 series counterparts. So you can achieve stable and coherent ram overlock. Mine is stable at 7000 MTS. Which is blazing fast, and with the faster ram you notice a sizeable difference in FPS. Additionally, it works well with a range of GPUs. I currently, use a RTX 4080 Super. They appear to be happily working together. I have tested it with an RX 7700XT and above.I will say the con is the price, but it will undoubtedly drop in price. Overall I really like this processor, works well and does what you need it to do. I will advise, that you will need to enable PBO in the motherboard bios to get the full potential of this chip or any 9000 series chip. But there are plenty of YouTube tutorials that can support with that.I hope this mini review helps and clears up some of the mystery of the 9000 series chips.

I upgraded to this from an older i7 8700k which served me brilliantly. This chip really is excellent. You’ll see a lot of information online pushing you to the x3D chips, which is fair as those CPUs are really the top dog when it comes to gaming. However, this CPU is superb.It runs extremely cool, very easy to install. I only had a small issue with using it as I had to install a new BIOS on my board, but that wasn’t too much of a hassle. I knocked a star off for the lack of cooler with the product, but any old cooler would suffice.I’ve even undervolted my chip and overclocked it for easy performance gains with a reduction of power usage even further. This chip is excellent by modern standards and at a good price. Highly recommend it

Works like a charm, got it on sale for 297£ and paired it with a gigabyte b650 eagle ax.Reaching 600 fps in cs2, and 380 450 in PUBG

For a start, I am not a chip boffin, but I did a lot of research etc and this seemed to get decent reviews for the price. I am sure there are faster and better spec out there, but for the price and in my set up it is lightning fast and handles everything I throw at it with considerable ease.
