good deal free ram

High productivity with good power consumption. Plenty of cores/threads for gaming and productivity.


- Runs fairly cool at idle, around 37-38C for me using push-pull AIO setup. - When under heavy load for bench and stress tests, I've barely exceeded 80C. - With some tweaking, was able to get it up to around 5.6Ghz OC and undervolting using PBO settings. - Doesn't even break a sweat while gaming or doing anything else.

Great good build, with like a charm. Temp at low under STRESS TEST.

Isn't a i7-11700K

Blazing fast in everything, cool running

Got it on sale right after Microsoft announced the specs for the new MicroSoft FlightSim 2024. Since my recently built rig had everything for the top tier specs except for the Ryzen 9 processor, and since it was on sale, I couldn't pass it up. Installation was quick and easy, and it has worked flawlessly so far. My fps has increased significantly in MSFS2020. Looking forward to MSFS2024 release in November. I like the way AMD systems run so much cooler than Intel systems, with the newer architecture they run as fast as, if not faster, than the Intel systems when running the Flightsims.

Easy install, ran well, boosted high, no complaints!



Runs everything on roblox Minecraft at max graphics on hypixel. A dream even with a lot of people in skyblock Repo is fantastic Jurassic world evolution at medium is good u notice a tiny bit of lag but it's not horribly noticeable anything higher is runnable but you'll notice it


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

- fast, does what it says it can do - easy to OC

Not only has my FPS and overall gaming performance improvedespecially in older titles like World of WarcraftI went against popular opinion and sold my underwhelming AMD system, upgrading to this one. I originally aimed for the 270K, but when it sold out, this model popped back in stock, and I decided to take the chance. I run multiple LLMs, game, stream, do light video editing, and experiment with AI and video generationbasically a little bit of everything. I already had a 5080 and 64GB of RAM, but wowthis machine is a beast. I was worried Id lose 1015% performance, and in some games I did lose about 5%, but what truly matters is that I can now use my PC however I wanteven while gaming. No more shutting down my LLMs just to play casually. The best part? My 1% lows jumped up massivelyby around 35% in MMOs. Thats far more important to me than raw FPS. No more micro-stutters, OBS crashes, or rubberbanding. I used to spend hours tweaking settings just to get games good enough to enjoyand I always felt I fell short. Im not claiming to be a hardware guru, just a hobbyist whos built PCs for over a decade (RIP 1080 Ti). Long story short: if youre chasing every last frame and dont care about AI, 1% lows, or multitasking, this is an incredible bargain at $200.

Quick CPU. A.I Capability.

This chip just rocks. Cooling has not been an issue. It would be nice to have more flexibility in core parking/unparking but 3rd party software seems to be working fine for me.
