Excellent CPU if X3D Is Not Necessary, Or Not Available
Wanted to buy a 9800X3D, but they went out of stock right as I went to buy, so I opted for the 9700X. Managed to pick this up for $285 via an Amazon deal, and it has more than paid itself off. It’s not an X3D CPU, so its gaming performance isn’t going to win any awards, but what is there is still fantastic. I have only managed to max out this CPU in Blender and synthetic tests, not games: sandbox games, open worlds (e.g. Abiotic Factor), and VR—including Into the Radius 2, which runs in UE5—just can’t push this CPU to its limit.If your primary focus is gaming and cores/thread counts don’t need to reach the stars, buy the Ryzen 5 9600X, the older 7600X3D, or even wait for the upcoming 9600X3D. The 9600X and 9700X are nearly identical in gaming. I bought the 9700X only because I need multithread performance and the 9800X3D was not available for two months.Perhaps the 9700X’s one true advantage over the 9800X3D is its TDP; this is a 65W CPU, whereas the 9800X3D is 120W. Besides consuming less power, the thermal load is more easily managed. I had a weird issue for a while where this CPU would spike to its TJMax and throttle when I opened File Explorer, but that was caused by my motherboard having an outdated BIOS, and has since been fixed. This CPU does not include a stock cooler, but this is a plus in my book; I quite enjoyed the Wraith Prism, but other Wraith coolers leave a lot to be desired. I happen to have an AiO on my CPU (Cooler Master PL240 FLUX), but for those on a budget, the Thermalright Peerless Assassin is $30-$40 and will do just as good.This CPU does average high temps; normal idle temps can reach 50°C. This feels really weird, but after the BIOS update, high-load temps take a while to reach 80°.I cannot give overclocking feedback, but it can overclock. PBO can give a little extra performance if necessary, but I have not enabled it yet, and don’t intend to for the foreseeable future.

Great performance for the price x3d is not needed.
This CPU work well with my 3090, you really don’t need the x3d unless you want the extra 10 frames. I got this with the monster hunter wild bundle. This cpu will last me probably till 2030!

Handles everything I throw at it, and laughs.
I really like this cpu. Surprisingly strong single core performance and more than ample multi core performance for gaming, Lite video editing, and some music production. Without the massive powerdraw of some other cpu’s. 5 stars from me.

Great CPU
Great performance. Everything is expected and even more. Very easy install on the am5 platform, no need for trying to not damage the pins. Can play any game i have tried with very good performance, and it is efficient with the power consumption.

Good processor, much faster than my previous 5700x3d
Good processor, much faster than my previous 5700x3d same time produces way more heat. It is expected but steel feels more than it should be – measured it with hwinfo64 and it went up to 80C under medium load on 9700x, same test made on 5700x3d was around 60C while using the same Noctua’s heatsink with dual fan and same thermopaste.

A get just 3-5 less then the 9800X3D in Pathtraced games and in Last of US 2 i got 18 fps more and 28fps more with PBO enabled.This CPU saved me 2300 SEK by switching from the X3D and still I have an RTX5080.

Montato da un paio di settimane su una build orientata al gaming e produttività leggera, e finora va alla grande. Temperature sotto controllo (anche con dissipatore ad aria decente) e prestazioni molto fluide. In game gira tutto al massimo senza impuntamenti, e anche in multitasking regge bene.Non ho fatto overclock, ma già così si sente che ha potenza da vendere. Ottimo anche per chi fa un po’ di editing o usa software pesanti ogni tanto. Consiglio solo di abbinarlo a RAM veloci per sfruttarlo al meglio.In sintesi: veloce, affidabile e ben ottimizzato.

İlk seçtiğim adres iş yerimdi saat 8 kadar bekledim adres değişikliği girdim. Sonra ben kargo firmasından ilk arayan arkadaş evine geçerken kargomu bıraktı. O kardeşimin motorun tekerine taş değmesin ürünün kalitesi ortada zaten bir şey demeye gerek yok. Kolay gelsin kargodan kargomu getiren arkadaşa tekrar teşekkür ediyorum.

I finally caved, after being on am4 since it came out I decided to build myself an am5 system.Decided to go with the 9700x and I am really impressed by it.It runs cool with an air cooler and performs great. Its tdp of 65w means it’s not consuming a lot of power but still gives you a powerful system.Overall I am glad I moved up to am5 especially with the 9700x as it gives me all I need at a reasonable price.
