  The processor doesn't lag. It's more than enough for 4K gaming. I don't know if there is something more value for money (probably there is) but for an AM5 build, it's great

  Real beast. Installed on Gigabyte B650 GAMING X. It doesn't lag anywhere. At 100% load, it reaches up to 57 degrees. For this price, it is the best there is.

  Purchase purely for video editing with DavinciResolve and some gaming
  I will write a few boring details about the video and then we'll move on to gaming
  Initially working with files from Sony IV, S3, FX3, FX30, and some from Canon Eos R5 C
  All files are 4K 200mbps+ S LOG
  The processor doesn't struggle at all, no lag or crashes whatsoever, no issues in the workflow without any dropped frames, and the render time is exceptional. Initially, I was going for the 7950X but it exceeded the budget.
  Temperatures are very good for such a processor. Under heavy load with heavy rendering and many effects loaded in the project, it reaches 80-82 degrees with the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 cooling. Let me clarify that I am a fan of air cooling, but they are huge for such CPUs, and I didn't want to install it for visual reasons, but I am satisfied with the liquid cooling.

  In gaming, no lag anywhere, no crashes.
  (without AMD SuperResolution and with default profile on the GPU)
  In the favorite game, Cyberpunk, everything on max at 2K resolution and 75hz gives 68.9 Avg.FPS
  All the following games are with the same settings, meaning max 2K
  Apex 74.9
  Fortnite 59.9
  Pubg 88
  (Once I install the others, I will update the list)
  Combined with:
  MB: ASRock X670E PG Lightning
  RAM: Kingston Fury Beast RGB 32GB DDR5 RAM
  GPU: Radeon RX 7900 XTX 24GB GDDR6 Nitro+ Vapor-X
  PSU: Seasonic FOCUS GX ATX 3.0 1000W

  A very powerful processor with very good efficiency.

  What those who buy it should pay attention to are the temperatures and the RAM.

  Temperatures:
  It is designed to run at 95C constantly and to boost up until it reaches that point. Once it reaches that point, it stays there as long as there is load. This means that the better the cooling someone has, the better the processor will perform, but it also means a lot of noise from fans and many people worrying when they see the CPU constantly in the red. Finally, it also means that anyone who pays for this CPU and doesn't invest in good cooling will have lower results than they could have.

  RAM:
  Up to 6000 speed with ideal being 6000c30. At higher speeds, it loses performance due to becoming de-synced from the infinity fabric.

  Excellent processor, but it also requires a very good motherboard in order to properly handle its Boost and overclocking capabilities. The motherboard should cost more than 250 euros to do the job correctly and not some cheap, low-quality one.

  I consider it a challenge to push this processor. I play games, record, and stream on OBS, and it barely reaches 50%. The temperatures can reach 80-90, but it is designed to work constantly at 90+. Of course, with a good AIO liquid cooling system, this is achievable. On average, I have it at around 60 with the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280, and idle at 40. I have never seen a temperature above 91, and that only during benchmarking

  The processor, as soon as it is installed on the motherboard, you need to set the official values for 145 watts of AMD in the PBO manual = 142000-110000-170000 and depending on the chip curve optimizer negative all cores -15(-20). If you want gaming, just set SMT off as it is and you're ready for takeoff!
  UPDATE: Combined with Patriot Viper 6400 CL32, XMP enabled. Vdd: 1.40, Vddio: 1.35, Vddq: 1.35. Fclk: 2133, PBO: -15, High memory bandwidth: enable, on a GB B650 Gaming X AX, SMT: disable. Stability is incredible, gaming performance is unbelievable, it works in an internet café 24/7. The only processor in the 7000-9000 series with such performance after the 9800X3D. The 8-core and 16-core processors cannot work properly with SMT disabled. The PBO at the values I have already given does not need a thermal limit. If you find it at a good price, buy it with your eyes closed, set exactly what I recommend, it's cheap and works perfectly 100%. An Arctic 36 is more than sufficient, no comparison in temperatures with 7600X-7950X. It is cooler with these settings than the entire 9000 series

  The processor is lightning fast with no freezing anywhere, but it gets very hot. It locked at 5Ghz / 1.1v and has not gone above 65 degrees with air cooling without losing any performance, I would say it's impressive.

  Very hot processor. Definitely needs water cooling to avoid reaching 80 degrees with moderate load. I got it for my gaming PC, but I think it's overkill for gaming. Almost 90% of the time it sleeps when I run games. I would only recommend it to people who are involved in rendering projects (video, animation, etc.).

  With one click on the lightning-fast plate... after the 5800x, you see everything flowing smoothly without any glitches! Excessive choice for use, buttoned up on the x670E Gigabyte master which was tamed enough after the latest bios F8... the single core ability makes the difference! It raises temperatures quite a bit and I chose the automatic option from the bios pbo and max 80oC to have peace of mind...

  With the above motherboard and the last two tested bios, it boots immediately like the AM4 platform with fast boot disabled...!

  ------------------------------------------- Gaming problem -----------------------------------------------------------
  The problem occurs in games, at first I thought it was the memory, 6000hz and cl32 xmp1.... With fifa23, at first you played a little and then it closed without error on the desktop or rebooted the PC less frequently... I thought maybe the motherboard's low latency option was to blame... I turned off the option and the reboots stopped! but it continued to kick me out of the game, the same thing happened in Fortnite less frequently... Only Minecraft worked... At some point, I thought it was the Logitech ghub with the fifa anticheat, but Fortnite has nothing to do with it!... Also, having memory with certified expo, I tried them... Same thing again!

  Finally, everything was magically solved when I turned off the bios settings for the CPU and memory, leaving them free on auto! (except for the strong profile of XMP or EXPO memory)

  Unfortunately, AMD and their motherboard choices still do not work properly! A downside.

  Let's start with the positives!
  Performance
  PCIe 5 support for storage and graphics (with X670E and B670E chipsets)
  Built-in graphics card with impressive performance
  AM5 socket with compatibility for AM4 cooling systems
  Unlocked multiplier
  DDR5 support
  AVX512 and AI instruction sets

  Now, the negatives
  Does not come with a stock cooler, but needs to be purchased separately
  Requires a powerful cooling system, ideally a 240mm or 360mm AIO or a Noctua NH-D15 level cooler
  Increased platform cost (processor, motherboard, and memory)
  System takes a long time to boot

  This particular processor may be the best value for money from AMD's 7000 series, but it remains very expensive and the whole motherboard and DDR5 set is equally expensive. Nevertheless, it simply excels in multi-tasking and has no rival for this price range. I bought it mainly for 3D processing and it runs any application with many open windows without any problem. As for temperatures and power consumption, this processor always runs at 95 degrees when under stress and then depends on the cooler. Personally, I run it on PBO with negative curve and cap on power limit at 165w and 85c so that it is less hot than stock. You don't lose performance if you make small reductions (depending on the silicon you have). If someone has the money, I recommend it without hesitation, but if someone is considering it due to cost, they can wait a few months for the price and DDR5 market to settle. Finally, I would say that this particular processor is overkill for gaming.

  I went from an i7 6800k @4.2 6 core to an AMD Ryzen 9 7900X.
  Easily reaches 5.1-5.2 all core with PBO and without PBO 5.1 all core, 5.6-5.7 single core/dual with Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420...
  I haven't seen it go above 65c in games... it reaches 95c on all core 100% but with full fan speed it drops to 85c
