AMD Ryzen 9 7900X

Heel erg blij mee! i.c.m. een 5080 op 4k zo goed als geen bottleneck, alleen CPU gebonden games lopen soms achter op de 5080 (26-29%). Zou een X3D beter zijn? Ja.. alleen bereken voor jezelf of een 15-30 fps verschil het waard is om (veel) meer uit te geven voor hier en daar een enkele CPU gebonden game/proces. Ik speel momenteel alles op max settings icm een 4k monitor. Ca. 80-170fps (50’s series upscaling)

I integrated this processor into my custom build. Installation was very simple. Performance is spot on. I was a bit worried about my installation during the first benchmarks, where the processor immediately went up to 95 degrees and stayed at that temperature. However, this is apparently normal behaviour for more recent processors, which rise to 95 and regulate the voltage delivered. They are able to withstand higher temperatures.

I bought this at Microcenter back in 2022, and I'm not upgrading anytime soon. If you are considering a new build, the 9000 series x3d chips are the only way to go. Do not worry about the 95 degree C max operating temp. Enable ECO mode in the BIOS and you will bring the temps down and not see any difference in performance. I've attached both the 105 and 65 watt ECO mode settings to show actual benchmark temps. With 65 Watt ECO mode, my temp slightly spiked above 70 C.

The salesperson was very welcoming, gave very good advice and took the time to explain things. I recommend him with my eyes closed.
