AMD Ryzensets 7 7700X Processor (integrated Radeon Graphics, 8 cores/16 threads, 105W DTP, AM5 Socket, 40MB cache, up to 5.4 GHz max boost, no cooler)

Got this as part of a new Gaming PC build, and having done a lot of research, i determined it was the best value for the performance I needed now, and in the future. The results are like night and day from my previous I5 6600K. It functions like a dream. Was easy to install, very efficient, and and simply the perfect for for my PC.

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700x is a brilliant CPU and has a beastly 5.4 GHz max boost. I use it for gaming and so far it has crushed any game I’ve thrown at it (for context I run a 100Hz 1080p monitor). In it’s price range there aren’t many CPUs that compete with it. Good CPU and I haven’t had any trouble with temperature (I use a NZXT Kraken 360 RGB AIO). Good CPU and worth the price in my books.

Solid cpu, fast and reasonable price

What is "easy to lock " supposed to mean in the review features? Anyhoo, this CPU has insane, amazing performance as long as you cool it well. Having 8 cores/16 threads capable of boosting to 5500MHz makes such a difference to smooth gaming, but stress it and each core will try to go as fast as it can until it thermally throttles at 95 deg C. Consequently a single tower air cooler will struggle. I was planning to buy the 7700 but the 7700X (very slightly faster but hotter) was £20 cheaper at the time of purchase. I will be undervolting it as I simply dont need that little bit of additional performance at the expense of a lot more heat, but its nice to have it in reserve for the future. There are faster chips on the market for gaming and multitasking - the 7800X3D or the I7-13700K, but honestly I don't render animations or compile code or stream games all day long for a living, and I cannot afford an RTX4090 so getting the very fastest CPU possible is moot. Also, I wanted a clear upgrade path, and buying Intel usually means a new motherboard with each new CPU generation, so I nailed my colours to the AM5 mast this time around. One last tip - when applying your cooling solution, I advise carefully spreading your thermal paste before you place the cold plate or air cooler into position. The AM5 IHS has "legs", and if you make sure your cooler has good thermal contact with the tops of the legs in addition to the centre of the IHS, it can only help keep temps down.

👌

This was bought with a new Asus Motherboard as a upgrade for an old AM4 5600x system. from differing reviews maybe not a big upgrade. Immediately installed the latest MB Bios file and let the Asus App rename it, copied to clean USB. plugged USB int new MB and pressed the bios button, some minutes later the tiny bios bios led stopped flashing on the MB indicated update finished. Removed power to the board and installed memory, then very carefully and gently installed the CPU, closed the securing lever which pops off the black plastic socket cover, and that was it CPU installed. Added thermal paste and installed CPU fan. All cabled up and booted on first try. Installed the necessary driver and away it went with Windows 10. Feedback suggests a good upgrade from the earlier combo.

Very good CPU for money, had this particular one a few years now and it still is able to support the system in running basically anything without much going over 50% load. For a budget gaming setup I would 1000% recommend this cpu.

It works flawlessly with my current gaming pc build I don't think I have had it reach 100% use yet but then again I don't usually have many apps/games open at the same time and only currently have one monitor. It was easy to install into my motherboard. High cost but it seems worth it for me as I have done some 3D modelling but only using Blender as Autodesk is outrageous in price. Works well with most modern games I've played so far. If it makes a noise I wouldn't notice seeing as I have a fan cooling it which is necessary as a heads up because it will oveheat without any cooling.
