This was my first AMD build - giving up on Intel! After looking at the options for another purpose-built machine for MS Flight Sim (my previous was an i9-9900K which worked decently), this cpu seemed the obvious choice both from a performance and availability perspective. I paired it with an MSI MAG X870e mobo and BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro 5 cooler, and for now, an RTX 4070ti GPU (until sanity returns to the GPU market).

Awesome: Newegg customer service was incredibly reassuring and resolved the problem posthaste

Arrived on time Easy to install Good performance

- Powerful for CPU bound games (sometimes 30-50% improvement over other current gen cpus) - Efficient and doesn't run as hot as other ryzen 7000 cpus. - 8 cores/16 threads is a nice upgrade for someone on a 4 or 6 core cpu. - Best gaming CPU overall.

It is running in my Asus ROG Maximus Apex. Great with gaming and workloads. Stable over clocking . Better than last gen. Keep up the good work Intel.

Value, Performance, Reliability

Fast Cool Efficient High Speeds

Best CPU for both gaming and productivity so far. Definitely a very good upgrade from a 13th Gen Intel i9 that had instability issues. Doesn't get so hot when multitasking. This thing is fast

This cpu paired with 4060 can run anything with frames over the 200 range no shutter no slow down. With new high profile games. I can honestly see no point in buying the x3d chips when this does everything gaming wise!

-Easy install -VERY fast

This processor is another great upgrade from the older series.

Does everything well.

Extremely granular BIOS on the X670E chipset, EXPO setting was seamless, 6006mz, PCIe5 and extreme performance

low temps with stock intel fan 4.4ghz plenty fast for my 1080p gaming pc

Thing is a beast for gaming

- Fast! - Only 65w - 20 cores

The produce is pretty good, 14700: with a 20 cores, did beat Ryzen 9 7950X without X3D. Pretty good...good enough for games!

-Fast -Great OC capability -Great synergy with AMD products

So fast, so smooth and as cool as the other side of the pillow! This out shines my gen 10 i7 and flies in my z690 ddr5 mb. This is a great choice for a build you can scale and still save money. It has no hitches or hiccups and was a breeze to install. I have an AiO on mine but I could have gone fan and been fine because it runs cool. This is the value play for gamers. It works extremely well, is fast, easy to install and has no bad attributes. I would buy again if I needed a cpu and I can see this as an upgrade for people on older i7 chips if their mb would accept it. It's that good!

Stats to max out my motherboard. Simple install, no fuss no issue (so far), still working on build so haven't powered up yet but I'm confident!
