## Description

Welcome to the new era of performance. AMD Ryzen 9000 Series ushers in the speed of “Zen 5” for gamers and creators with pure power to tackle any game or workflow on the digital playground.

Review: Runs extremely cool with excellent performance - By far the best thing about the Ryzen 7 9700X is just how incredibly cool it runs, especially compared to the 7000-series. It truly doesn't need anything besides a simple air cooler for incredibly stable performance right out of the box. Considering that Intel's apparently been having serious overheating and stability issues with its most recent processors, AMD is the way to go right now for gaming and productivity. Can you do better for gaming? Well, yes, because the Ryzen 7 9800X3D exists if you absolutely must have the best regardless of cost. But the latter is overkill for the moment -- you can get extremely high frame rates on even the most demanding titles with the 9700X with no issue. Highly recommended as an overall awesome CPU. I'm very pleased I went with this particular model for my new rig.
Review: 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 desertcart 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CPU would spike to its TJMax and throttle when I opened File Explorer, but that was caused by my motherboard having an outdated BIOS, and has since been fixed.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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love this thing!
*by T***E on January 3, 2026*

I haven't built a decent desktop since 2008. I thought it was about time to build a new one. I went with a Gigabyte Aorus Pro, with this AMD Ryzen 7 9700X. Couldn't be happier! It over clocks great (5.38GHz on all cores), temps are really good, it's fast, and I think it is a great balance between price and performance. It has performed very well on all of the benchmarks I have tried. I don't game and my new graphics card just died, so I've been using the onboard graphics. It has been performing quite well for my needs.
