  • Very Satisfied with this CPU
Got this over the 7800X3D for workstation purposes. This cpu has just been great. I've got it overclocked, but the temps stay low. It's blazing fast on boot and runs all my games soooo smooth. I upgraded to this from a 9700k and could not be happier. It pairs perfectly with my buddy's old 3080 ti he sold me. Overall a great cpu, and hard to beat at 300$. Oh and it shipped super fast. The original box was in great condition too. Very satisfied with this purchase. ... show more

  • The 9700x is THE CPU to get for SFF builds if you're concerned about power and thermals
I've always wanted to do an SFF build that was just as capable for gaming as well as some creative work, video editing, etc, as my larger rigs. I currently have 2 main systems in the house: Asus Astral 5090 + 9950x3d and 4090FE + 9800x3d, both on larger Lian Li 011D Evo cases with 360 AIO and plenty of fans. Without those extra fans and larger cases, these systems would run hot, especially with the GPUs they were paired with, so I knew I wanted a CPU that would not only run cooler but also more power-efficient. Enter the 9700X. This is my current build and it's a supremely capable and thermally sustainable beast of an SFF build even under heavy 4K gaming loads. 9700X + 5080FE, MSI Mortar mATX mobo, 32gb CL30 Trident Z5 DDR5 6000 expo, Corsair H100i Elite 240mm AIO, and 3 Noctua 120mm low profile Chromax fans (1 intake from rear, 2 intake from bottom) all shoehorned in a tiny Jonsbo(Jonsplus) Z20 case. Passes all thee stress tests, and even at full 4K gaming loads, thermals are amazing for a SFF build with a 5080! At these loads, both the 9700x and the 5080FE temps are in the low to mid 60s, and rarely spikes over 70. These thermals are comparable to my larger builds with only a small sacrifice in performance mainly because the 9700x just can't compete with those X3D chips but can certainly hold its own at a much lower TDP. Gaming performance is amazing as paired with the 5080FE. That said, for me at least, an SFF is the only situation where I think the 9700x makes sense. Price was great and I bought this from amazon for $265. I was originally going to do this SFF build with another 9800X3D but those have not come down from their $480 price yet and I already knew they ran warmer and drew more power, so I'm extremely happy with the 9700x and wouldn't hesitate to use it again on another SFF build. Highly recommend. ... show more

  • Great cpu
CPU works great in my setup. 64 gig of ram and 7900xt gpu. Doesn’t run hot and uses very little power.

  • A good CPU for the money
A great CPU that I feel is overlooked. Does a good job running all the games that I need it to. I have it paired up with a 6800XT and have had no issues running all the games that I play at max settings with high frame rate. If you can get this processor for under $300 it's a fantastic deal. I was able to get it when it was under $300 with the Monster Hunter bundle. ... show more

  • Very solid and efficient processor
Very happy with this processor. No issues at all installing. Like most AMD 9 series chips, it is noticeably more power efficient than the previous series models. Getting great performace overall with gaming, music production and general tasks. Would definitely recommend, especially at the sale price. ... show more

  • Good Performance and Runs Cool.
The Ryzen 7 9700X has been a good upgrade for my PC. This 8-core, 16-thread processor delivers a balance of gaming performance and productivity. I can run most games at a consistent 150 FPS. Whether I’m playing graphically intense AAA titles or editing video, everything runs smooth as silk. One of the standout features is its low TDP, which makes it incredibly easy to cool. Even during extended gaming sessions, the temps stay well under 85°C with a standard air cooler. No need for an elaborate cooling setup—it’s efficient and reliable right out of the box. The unlocked design also offers room for tweaking, and I’ve had no issues with stability during overclocking. It’s perfect for gaming, streaming, and even productivity tasks like video editing. If you’re looking for a processor that balances power, efficiency, and value, the Ryzen 7 9700X is an good choice. I couldn’t be happier with its performance ... show more

  • Powerful CPU which can work with only fans for cooling
I play 3A games and this CPU is powerful enough to run those games in 4k. And I only use fans for CPU cooling and it has been working perfectly for the last couple months. Really nice CPU with such price!

  • The Ultimate Small Form Factor CPU!
My first AMD processor. Works great. Lots of options here with tuning/clocking. Out of the box encoding handbrake will run about 88Watts with 110FPS super HD mp4 settings. (5x faster than my old i5) It warms up quite a bit so make sure to get a good cooler. Shouldn’t be a problem for gaming. Also I contacted AMD about their warranty program and getting an exchange done and they got back to me in 48 Hours which is extremely comforting. Absolutely happy I made the switch, this processor doesn’t deserve the hate it gets. Benchmarks show it’s 10-15% slower than some of the top CPUs using triple the electricity! Efficient Low power usage and high single core count. No regrets! ... show more
