I have always built my own computers. My old motherboard was dieing, so I decided to upgrade. I bought the GIGABYTE X670 AORUS Elite AX motherboard. I added the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 12-Core, 24-Thread processor, along with 128GB DDR5 memory. I had a GeForce® GTX 1650 4GB GDDR6 Verto Dual Fan Graphics Card, and a Magewell Pro Capture HDMI Video Capture Card. I have 30TB of hard-drives installed, along with several SSDs. I run Fedora 42. I have a UHD monitor and a 4k TV hooked up to it. I have a LLM installed so I can AI work. This processor gives me all the power I need. I always use Ryzen processors. I have never had any trouble.

Been waiting to build my new rig for quite some time and this was the missing piece. New build: Corsair Icue 7000X Full Tower RGB Ryzen 9 7900X CPU 32GB DDR5 5600 Corsair Dominator RAM 1 TB Crucial M.2 Gen 4 XFX Merc 319 Radeon 6950XT 16GB Graphics Card Corsair 1000w PSU Gigabyte X670 Elite AX AM5 Motherboard Corsair iCUE H150i Elite LCD XT Liquid CPU Cooler (360 AIO mounted to top as Exhaust 6 Corsair ML140's Fans (10 total fans including those with the case/aio with 6 as intake and 4 for exhaust). Lian Li Strimer V2 RGB Cables for the GPU and Motherboard (they look very nice and controllable via the L Connect 3 software) As I needed additional powered USB headers I also added a Corsair Internal 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub - 4X 9-Pin USB 2.0 Ports for the Commander Core XT and Lian Li Controllers to function. Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Thermal Paste (removed the stock paste with AIO using TG cleaner wipes as well for better contact). ThermalRight AMD5 CPU Shield - This allows the AIO or Waterblock (if doing a custom loop) to make WAY better contact with the CPU HS. It can be a little nerve wracking as your removing the cpu mount and installing this one but its worth it. As the AM5 CPU has no pins (the mobo now has the pins), its imperative you are gentle on the placement. Best way I found to install this shield was to place the CPU into the socket, then remove the cpu holder so this way you can't damage the cpu or pins as they are socketed. Installing the shield from that point is easy, just don't overtighten it. Theres a bunch of youtube videos on this process. Definitely recommend reviewing them before attempting this step. I upgraded from my old Ryzen 5 2600X system with a GTX 960 SSC 4GB card and a 512gb M.2 Gen 2 drive. Needless to say this was quite the upgrade from my old system. Cinebench scores on my 2600X even with a mild overclock was only around 7200. After getting everything configured/setup and Windows 11 Pro installed with all updates and enabling EXPO1 (RAM OC) and enabling SAM in the BIOS I started my benchmarking. Cinebench score with just EXPO1 enabled baseline was 28745. What a jump! CPU temp on the multi-core threading with the 360 AIO only went as high as 82c (AMD rates these to run at 95c as normal operating temp so it was well below even that). Haven't done any OC'ing other than enabling EXPO1 yet since I really don't need to as the CPU and GPU run everything maxed out. Tested on a few games on max/ultra settings and below are what I got FPS wise: The Division 2 (All settings maxed and on DX12) - Avg 125fps on 3440 x 1440 165hz resolution Aliens: Fireteam Elite - Avg 160fps on 3440 x 1440 165hz resolution Borderlands 2 (older game I know but love to play it with max settings) - Avg 476fps on 3440 x 1440 165hz resolution Forza Horizon 5 - Ultra Settings (max) including Ray Tracing - Avg 155fps on 3440 x 1440 165hz resolution Aliens: Colonial Marines (older game) - Avg 190FPS on 3440 x 1440 165hz resolution Warframe - Avg 155fps on 3440 x 1440 165hz resolution Pairing this CPU and GPU together worked great and the CPU itself is a beast. It does get hot when it turbo's up into the 5ghz range which is why you need a really good cooler (either AIO or custom loop) to keep the temps in check. If you do that, this CPU will be everything you need and then some. One thing I always tell people is to take your time, plan out your PC parts you want for what you want the system to do (video editing, gaming, streaming, etc). Don't be afraid to look around for good deals. I scored the AIO Cooler off Newegg for a much cheaper price than Amazon had it and it works beautifully and the LCD screen is just a nice "geek" factor to put JPG's or GIF's there. Once you have everything, take your time when building it. You may run into an issue here or there which is normal. First boot on AM5 systems is sometimes slow (Memory has to train) and you may see it cycle on/off for up to 1 minute. Mine did this and on the 4th power cycle it posted and I could get into the BIOS and everything showed up correctly. Good luck enthusiasts and hope this review helped with anyone looking at this CPU for their system! Its worth it!

Just getting started just built this up and the build went great. I was a little bit leery of the new pinless CPU, but it locked right in no issues. I have a well ventilated box and the CPU has a corsair radiator hooked up to it so temperature so far has been stable. I have it done any overclocking yet? I’ll have to save that for a future update.

I realize that a pc picture for a processor is pointless and just showing off, but isn't everyone who gets this showing off a little lol. Anyway, the title says it all, a beast. I've been intel all my life, though to be fair I havent had many computers, but still, i was like amd who? lol. Even when amd surpassed intel with the x3d for gaming anyway I was like well whatever intel's still the goat so they can have their short victory, which is unheard of for me because if there are 2 brands that are equal or even one thats close but not quite as good, ill always go with the red one(obsessive fav color), but then am5 came out, and to be clear, i wasn't one of those fanboys who was like omg becky! amd is going to destroy intel and there's going to be nothing they can do about it. No! quite the opposite. I knew. I knew what revolutionary technology the hybrid core design was and how great raptor lake was going to be, I knew it might even surpass amd's new best unlike everyone else. Didn't matter though. Because i wanted to try changing it up and switching to team red for a variety of reasons. 1. like i said cuz its red. 2. because as great as raptor is, i dont wanna be in the cycle i was in before where if i wanna upgrade a single pc part like the processor, ill have to basically build a new pc, which is what i had to do and what youll always have to do with intel usually, but amd will have upgradability on this for years new platform and all on top of the fact that amd has always been better about keeping compatible socket types for a longer time, while obviously thats not true for raptor, and even if raptor was a new platform lets not play like am5 still wouldnt be supported way longer, because it will, hell am5 will probably be supported to the end of intels next platform lol, 3. ive never once cared about power efficiency and heat, like so what, ok it draws alotta power, BUT, as long as the performance is there(lookin at you 12900/13900) and it will not throttle and be stable, awesome, do whatever you want, why limit performance for braggin rights efficiency(i know some people will cringe reading that), but anyway, while idc about it, it is a big win all the same for amd 4. 12 cores and 24 threads of pure American Muscle (jk but you get the point lol), 5. amd has become the stability platform thanks to intels new incredible but still NEW architecture 6. you get every bonus I just said and are getting like the 3rd best consumer processor in the world right now, who cares if the 13900 is technically #1 by a few percent 7. if you want both gaming performance and workstation performance, which is the main reason i upgraded, this is the way to go, best of both worlds if 16 core 32 thread or 13900k is just a bit unnecessary for you but you still want that best of both worlds, and for that reason idc what any reviews say online about it being slightly overpriced, because for all of the reasons i listed above, i disagree 8. well this is more of a counter, but, are the motherboards pretty expensive, yes, is ddr5 expensive? yes but if your building a new pc it really doesn't matter does it because your already spending a bunch of money and you might as well pay a bit more for that amd upgradability over intel, and for those who aren't building a totally new one, assuming you don't wanna pay a bunch of money, if you do your research you can still get a good motherboard and ddr5 for pretty cheap OH AND AT THE TIME OF WRITING THIS I've been talking about the normal price, but currently the 7900 is at an INSANE DISCOUNT, LIKE CRAZY, final note: that second picture i showed was me letting hw monitor run for 30 minutes, the point is that, it does go way above 5.6 even if only in semi frequent spikes, just thought it was cool, i know practically it doesnt matter
