This is far and away the best cpu for gaming our right now. It's an absolute beast. AMD opened up overclocking for this chip and honestly there isn't much performance to gain there. But where this chip really shines is undervolting. I was able to get a stable -40 all core undervolt using curve optimizer and now this thing sips power in all core workloads and sits at around 55 degrees C with an AIO cooling.

Price / performance Integrated graphics. I'm not a gamer just needed something for my home office computer.

Perfect consistency for easy application

Easy to set up, love that AM5 has a built-in backplate on the motherboards so I don't have to buy a separate one. Shipping was fast and 'egg was the only retailer I found with any stock.

Great for the price CPU. Love AMD.

Expensive but definitely worth it thats for sure runs cool at 40 degrees Celsius and cinebench only hits 69 degrees Celsius due to my cooling in my case have 0 issues so far

have used this cooler on a number of builds. Easy to install and performs well. Excellent value at its price point.

Great performance and temps. Coming from 10600K this doubled my frame rates at 4K in GTA5 and made Cities Skylines 2 actually playable with 300k+ citizens. Every other game is buttery smooth. 7600mhz XMP running without a hitch. I'm cooling on air with no thermal throttling using a Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 and Intel Performance defaults. Adobe Premiere feels like it's running on a commercial workstation. Complex 3D print files slice instantly and 3D modeling loves this new chip

A monster of a processor

I had no problem installing into my pc.

- Consistent and reliable performance - Reasonable to keep cooled adequately - Has areas where it does in fact outrun the directly competing other-brand chip

- Easy to cool with 240 liquid cooler - Runs any games easily with RTX 4090 - Compatible with my old Z790 motherboard after an easy BIOS update - Productivity tasks are now a little faster due to more CPU cores - Non-K CPUs are amazing, most people by far do not need overclocking

Glad I replaced the temporary 8700G with this. People should also consider this when aiming for a 7800X3D but have a mid to low budget. 7800X3D is way too overpriced today (at least, in Canada), and people should wait to see if they go down in price when 9800X3D comes. Either way, 7700X is worth the price.

-Daisy Chained fans make cable management a breeze -no RGB means even easier cable management -no iCUE cabling (universally compatible with any system) -no proprietary cables means fan and pump can be tuned using 3rd party software (or the BIOS) if you're not already in the corsair ecosystem -Once tuned, operates almost completely silently while still maintaining excellent temperatures (a full 10 degrees cooler at idle than my previous air cooler!) -at 90 dollars, there's hardly any other coolers in the market worth more (unless you're looking for a specific aesthetic) -at 110 dollars, the RGB version is also an option! -no need for additional cabling beyond pump and fans for full functionality

A budget future proof

Installation was relatively simple Even without 'Quiet Operation' taken into consideration and left to make as much noise as possible, they are super-quiet RGB effects look awesome


Goated Fast Price-Performance

Great, don't see myself having any trouble with heat transfer from processor to heat sink.

I had terrible overheating when I tried to upgrade to 10th gen and 11th gen. I waited for 12th gen non-K CPU's to get the best possible thermals. 12400F is currently the top of value/performance, mine runs stable at 30 C idle and around 45 C in CS:GO using Phanteks GlacierOne 240 AIO installed in Asus ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming WiFi D4 (which is an overkill for this CPU, but I was going for an all-white build). I reused my old Corsair DDR4 memory, no issues.
