Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Great for productivity and gaming. This processor is an absolute beast at gaming and anything else you can throw at it. It's a monster that's for sure.

The inclusion of a basic igpu is very helpful when diagnosing boot related issues and you need to keep the video card out of the equation. Windows 11 pro. Dark rock 4 pro has a built-in tb hub to connect to the internet. The system runs on windows 10 ... Read More

Thermalright amd5 cpu shield - this allows the aio or waterblock (if doing a custom loop) to make way better contact with the cpu hs. Mounted on a asrock x670e steel legend motherboard with 32 gb of gskill trident z5 rgb ddr5 memory (f5-5600j4040c16gx... Read More

Cpu heatsink has no problems keeping the cpu under 80c, even over sustained high system loads - and that, without being annoyingly loud. The only downside to this cpu is that it gets really hot. After taking time & care to properly install and add... Read More

R9 7900x is a great cpu for all modern games. Capable of running most modern games over 200fps at 2k max settings. Everyone says get the 7700x if your pure gaming.

Cons

The 7900x is either defective or it cannot handle high / med load for more than 1-5 minutes. If you are building a gaming machine, these cpu's are pretty much a pointless money drop. Don't even try to run cinebench or p95.

I moved from a thread ripper to this 9 7900x and was immediately blown away by the frames and how smooth everything was.

If you don't it will scream up to 95c every second it can under any kind of moderate or heavy load no matter the cooler!

Price

Definitely worth the $80 more over the 7.

Excellent value for moneyits an excellent value for the price i paid, however that being said, its a bit of an energy hog compa... Read More

Current sales price at the time of this review is $370.

I purchased this cpu in july of 2022 for $350 on sale and i have to say i do not regret my purchase at all.

Competitiveness

This was one feature which helped me choose between my amd system and an intel cor-i9 system.

I didn't want the x3d model because it cost a lot more and the 3d cache cpu came with a few disadvantages, but this cpu is amazing!

The 9900x will eventually be a better option but right now it's not worth an extra $100 for nearly same performance.

It's also funny to me that even though intel has now gone with "efficiency cores", ryzen 7000 cpus use significantly less power... Read More
