- Powerful in gaming - Price for performance is very good, especially when on sale

Knowingly did a sideways upgrade from the 7600X. On air cooling, the 7600X immediately jumped up to high 80s Celsius when stressed. I know AMD said it was designed for such, but that's just hot. With the 9600x, at 65w TDP, it does not break 68C when stressed. Same cooler, same case etc. I'm happy with it.

Good power draw while gaming Easy to cool down Great performance in games Undervolting the processor gives even better results

There have already been several BIOS updates released to correct the performance issue and the processor runs super well.

Many good budget motherboards available for this cpu. I am 99% sure with a de bloated windows it performs the same as a r5 5600 on a non de bloated windows.

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!

haven't had an issue yet lightning fast for gaming and web browsing nothing i've thrown at it has slowed it down yet

Fast Cool Efficient High Speeds

Runs cool at idle Takes whatever I throw at it Have had no hardware issues yet

- On Sale - Built in Graphics - ECC Support - Mini-ATX

Fast - improved rendering time in Davinci, improved fps in games, improved office software speed.


This doubles my multi thread rating. BF6 loads me in to maps much faster. If I encode more DVD Movies it will not take nearly as long. Planning to wait a couple of years before replacing the mobo, CPU, and RAM in my computer. RAM prices are out of control. Waiting for them to come back down.

This cpu is fast, and chews through any consumer or workstation use you throw at it. Especially with a good undervolt/overclock, the 13th and 14th gen intel chips cannot compete with the workhorse aspect of this cpu period. They beat this cpu by margins of error in single core use only. That said, this cpu will deliver any experience you throw at and expect from it. Games like a champ, crunches compute like a champ, and gives a snappy performance. This is perfect for a high end workstation/1440p gaming build. It's very easy to tune in bios, and not very complicated to figure out how to play with it's settings. I'd recommend the 'actually hardcore overclocking' channel on YouTube. He has a full guide on how to tune this chip for best efficiency/operation.

Really a solid gaming performer without breaking the bank. Great cpu to get gaming, threw in a Z690 so future upgrade possible. Stays relatively cool with stock cooler but would recommend new cooler as stock isn't great, YMMV.

-great value for the preformance -preforms a lot better than my previous cpus -runs awesome with DDR5

I installed this 14500 on a ASUS Tuf B760 motherboard, and it has been operating flawlessly for a couple weeks. Its a fast, affordable chip! Im using a 3rd party tower cooler, so I cant comment on the stock cooler, but it stays cool (less than 70C) even during heavy power spikes past 150W.

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

runs cool and quiet, the igpu is a major bonus imo, still building and testing, i will update when complete. so far sooo goood.

Don't let the massive watts fool you! It is actually sometimes lower or even equal watt to Ryzen 5900x CPUs when playing games! Cooler than even Ryzen CPUs, love my NH-D15!
