Ryzen™ 7 9700X 8-Core, 16-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor

Easy to install, fast to load games or web browsers. Didn't have any compatibility issues. And overall cooling is normal. Would recommend.

I haven't built a decent desktop since 2008. I thought it was about time to build a new one. I went with a Gigabyte Aorus Pro, with this AMD Ryzen 7 9700X. Couldn't be happier! It over clocks great (5.38GHz on all cores), temps are really good, it's fast, and I think it is a great balance between price and performance. It has performed very well on all of the benchmarks I have tried. I don't game and my new graphics card just died, so I've been using the onboard graphics. It has been performing quite well for my needs.

Wanted to buy a 9800X3D, but they went out of stock right as I went to buy, so I opted for the 9700X. Managed to pick this up for $285 via an Amazon deal, and it has more than paid itself off. It's not an X3D CPU, so its gaming performance isn't going to win any awards, but what is there is still fantastic. I have only managed to max out this CPU in Blender and synthetic tests, not games: sandbox games, open worlds (e.g. Abiotic Factor), and VR—including Into the Radius 2, which runs in UE5—just can't push this CPU to its limit. If your primary focus is gaming and cores/thread counts don't need to reach the stars, buy the Ryzen 5 9600X, the older 7600X3D, or even wait for the upcoming 9600X3D. The 9600X and 9700X are nearly identical in gaming. I bought the 9700X only because I need multithread performance and the 9800X3D was not available for two months. Perhaps the 9700X's one true advantage over the 9800X3D is its TDP; this is a 65W CPU, whereas the 9800X3D is 120W. Besides consuming less power, the thermal load is more easily managed. I had a weird issue for a while where this CPU would spike to its TJMax and throttle when I opened File Explorer, but that was caused by my motherboard having an outdated BIOS, and has since been fixed. This CPU does not include a stock cooler, but this is a plus in my book; I quite enjoyed the Wraith Prism, but other Wraith coolers leave a lot to be desired. I happen to have an AiO on my CPU (Cooler Master PL240 FLUX), but for those on a budget, the Thermalright Peerless Assassin is $30-$40 and will do just as good. This CPU does average high temps; normal idle temps can reach 50°C. This feels really weird, but after the BIOS update, high-load temps take a while to reach 80°. I cannot give overclocking feedback, but it can overclock. PBO can give a little extra performance if necessary, but I have not enabled it yet, and don't intend to for the foreseeable future.

I have two of these and they are work-horses! Pay attention to the motherboard vendors' notes about BIOS upgrades and what they do, especially AGESA version upgrades. Solid Central-Processing-Unit!

Excellent CPU with lots of headroom for OC'ing. Temperatures are phenomenal & power consumption is excellent! X3D CPU's are great for 1080p/1440p gaming but I'm doing 4K which is more GPU bound and this CPU can keep up with the best of them at a price I couldn't refuse for prime day!

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.

Am5 platform feels like a plug and play feature. Even for an 8 core 16 thread processor this processor this keeps up with all my daily activities and games that are optimized for PC. I can keep discord, Spotify, opera gx, and every game I play open at the same time with no stuttering, lag, or bottlenecks. Paired with a 9070xt or similar Nvidia graphics card I believe this 9000 series chipset is a great pick for the average to intermediate pc user.

Ryzen 7 is still kneck and kneck state-of-the-art technology withe Intel and wiith the high cost of RAM and other PC components these days, this CPU will keep your rig relevant and current while the industry transitions to Intel Extreme and Ryzen 3D next gernerations and give you some time to wait for the news prices to come down a bit before building a whole computer. Ryzen is a better gaming CPU while Intel has the extra cores to perform more office duties faster.

işlemciyi alırken tereddütlerim vardı r7 7800x3d ile arasında kalmıştım işlemciyi 4k dan aşşağı kullanmadığım için x3d nin bir önemi yok 9800x3d bile alsam aynı performansı alacağım 105w kullanıyorum 61 dereceyi geçmiyor elimde 240mm thermalright sıvı soğutucu var memnunum.

ممتاز واصلي

A get just 3-5 less then the 9800X3D in Pathtraced games and in Last of US 2 i got 18 fps more and 28fps more with PBO enabled. This CPU saved me 2300 SEK by switching from the X3D and still I have an RTX5080.

o assemblato un PC completamente nuovo da qualche settimana scegliendo l’AMD Ryzen 7 9700X, e posso dire che è stata una scelta eccellente. Il sistema risulta estremamente reattivo e stabile in ogni scenario d’uso. Gli 8 core e 16 thread offrono ottime prestazioni sia in gaming che in applicazioni produttive. Il boost di frequenza entra in modo rapido e costante, garantendo fluidità anche con carichi elevati e multitasking intenso. Nessun rallentamento, anche sotto stress prolungato. Il TDP da 65W è uno dei punti di forza: consumi contenuti e temperature sempre sotto controllo, ideali per un PC moderno silenzioso ed efficiente, anche con raffreddamento ad aria. Il socket AM5 assicura compatibilità con le tecnologie più recenti e una buona prospettiva di upgrade futuri. I 40MB di cache contribuiscono a migliorare le prestazioni complessive, soprattutto in gaming. Dopo alcune settimane di utilizzo quotidiano, il PC si è dimostrato affidabile, veloce e ben bilanciato. In gioco mantiene FPS stabili, mentre in ambito produttivo risponde sempre in modo pronto. Ottima CPU per chi sta assemblando un PC nuovo e vuole prestazioni elevate con consumi ridotti. Consigliata senza esitazioni per gaming e produttività.

UPDATE: I'm still very satisfied with the CPU. It works really well and holds its performance. However, this CPU is not recommended for Battlefield 6. I have a CPU bottleneck since release. That being said, many Ryzen CPUs have a CPU bottleneck in BF6 which is utterly disappointing. The RTX 5070 in 1440P uses 80% while the CPU uses 50% and when following the enhanced overlay metrics, the frames calculated by the CPU are consistently lower than by the GPU. Around 15%-20% lower. I don't think that's the fault of the CPU as even top tier like the 9800X3D experience issues, but rather the game itself. I still recommend the CPU but if you wanna play a lot of Battlefield 6 you might want to look for Intel CPUs. I built my new computer and went with the 9700x. While this CPU has received not the best reviews it's a great CPU. When it comes to gaming the 9700X3D is king followed by the 7800X3D. However, in Canada the prices are so inflated that it ain't worth the additional $150 for the 7800X3D unless you really have money to spend or play competitive. I paired this beauty with an 840P Mainboard that I got on sale for $177. It's a good combo. It has no issues supporting 48GB of 6000Mhz Ram running consistently at 6000 MHz. I'm using my computer for work and gaming. The 9700x is a fast CPU for all sorts of productivity like coding, processing, editing and office work. Gaming performance is great. Paired with RTX 5070 this makes it a great combo. A much faster GPU might lead to bottleneck, but if you pay $2000 for a GPU I'm sure you can afford a better CPU too. I usually prefer Intel and prices for a 14700KF or 265KF Ultra are somewhat similar to the AMD. AMD Mainboards are easily $50-100 cheaper. On top Intel's 14xxx series has up to this day issues with overheating. Compared to the Ryzen 9700X whose performance is slightly below the 14700k it runs very cool and is extremely power efficient. AMD also added two new modes 95W and 105W power mode can be selected in BIOS. AMD extended warranty for higher Watt modes which is very consumer friendly. I went with the 105W for now and paired with a Peerless Assassin 120 it runs at max 75 degrees while gaming. I'm very satisfied with the 9700X. I'm usually an Intel user but AMD delivered here. For someone who had a i5 10600k before it's a big upgrade. An upgrade from a Ryzen 7700x or Intel's 13th gen seems unnecessary as the performance gains are marginal. I understand the X3D hype but the X3D CPUs are consistently slower in productivity yet excel in gaming performance. With overclocking and fast RAM the 9700X gets pretty much the same performance as the 7800X3D for less money. I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase and the 9700X offers excellent value for money and strikes the perfect balance between gaming and productivity performance.
