Very energy efficient

Had to return, waiting on new cpu. Return process was easy. Update! Received a new CPU and it worked great! So far so good. The 9700x runs VERY cool and boosts up to 5.5 ghz. I'm using an ARCTIC COOLING Liquid Freezer III - 240 and even during stress tests it only gets to 55c.

Upgraded to this from a Ryzen 5 2600 and let me tell you the difference is incredible. I have this in an Aorus build with a B450M and 1080 ti Extreme. Running with this processor has breathed new life into the 1080 ti at 1440p. Almost every game runs maxed out with at least 60FPS. Noticed substantial increases in Cyberpunk 2077 and Horizon Zero Dawn.

I had a 5900x and got it on a sale but always wanted the 16/32 core 5950x since it was the best CPU AMD released for AM4. But it was always priced with too much inflated pricing. I got this 5900XT Jan 2026, 16/32, core CPU because it was priced right and had the full 16 cores I wanted. I got it because I decided to not buy into AM5 at the moment because of DDR5 pricing is so high, but I wanted some sort of an upgrade right now and I already have 64GB ram and a 7900XTX card. I am glad I bought it because I am pretty sure I got a cherry of a CPU. I used Ryzen master to do the curve optimizer testing and after 2 hours of it running it set all cores to -30 negative. I was a bit skeptical of this choice but ran with it and it has been 100% solid and stable and boost to 4975-5000Mhz. I left every setting alone in the bios and the AMD software set the bios up according to the tests it did when I ran the software. The only thing I setup myself was the DDR4 which is set to 3733Mhz with decent timings not the best but pretty decent. In Aida64 my latency when tested is about 57-59ns which is pretty good I think for a dual CCD CPU. I am happy with my choice so far. It does seem to be faster than my older 5900x 12/24 CPU in games mainly because it seems to hold the core clocks a lot longer and temps do not seem to affect it as much as on the older 5900x did.

-Low heat, sits at about 35c in a mini Itx build. Sits around the mid 60s under load. -Works great in an emulation machine, I have mine paired with a 1650 super so it does emulation and other 1080p gaming with little issue.

Switched over from an AMD XFX, never looking back, intel is worth the price. Smiling ear to ear.

This thing runs at 5.4 K MHz all 6 cores at the same time. Wide open all the time. Using the simple overclock in the bios. By far the best six core Ever and Ever

This thing is fast at even stock speeds.Overclocked mine to 5.0 ghz @ 1.4 vcore!
