AMDRyzen™ 9 9900X 12-Core, 24-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor

My build:Motherboard: NZXT N7 B650E with integrated 4k GPU and onboard WiFi6CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9900XRAM: 128GB DDR5PSU: 1k WattSSD: 1x 1TB + 1x 2TB, both Western DigitalLiquid Cooling: GAMDIAS Aura GL240 V2, 240mmChassis: GAMDIAS White ATX Mid Tower with 4x 120mm ARGB FansEasy to install and works like a charm. Great functionality, my images and videos look fantastic, and it doesn't use that much power in my build. I have a 1k watt power supply with plenty of power to spare, so it barely uses much of that anyway. I don't do much gaming with my setup (I mainly do multimedia work), but the few games I do play look excellent. Can't speak to its own heat levels since I put in liquid cooling.

Upgraded from a Ryzen 9 9300x to the 9 9900x.I realize the Gen 5 MB and DDR 5 would make a difference, but this processor exceeded all expectations.Userbenchmark placed this processor speed in the top 98 percentile.I now run every game on my system at maximum settings including MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024.Granted, I'm rendering everything through a RTX4090 but still, cpu heavy applications are easily dealt with.Easily overclocks to 5ghz using a BeQuiet! Dark Rock Pro 5 as a cooling solution without exceeding 80C.

es todo lo que puedes esperar de un ryzen 9 muy satisfceho con la compra, es un muy buen procesador

Stupid fast CPU handles everything you can throw at it and more.

Computer now starts up in about twenty seconds. (All AMD) Really fast. Sorry, I'm not a gamer so can't speak to gaming with it. But I run an AI from within the computer rather than using the cloud, using LM Studio, and it answers within a couple seconds every time, often nearly instantly, whereas it took half a minute or so with a very fast AM4 processor and it's slower memory, with the same video card. Installation was easy as expected and it runs cooler than my previous processor on the previous AM4 motherboard. The AM5 socket this uses and this processor support very fast memory frequencies up to 6000, which is where much of the quickness comes from. Its running Windows 11 with no problems.

Without a doubt one of the best CPUs on the market, the product arrived well along with the packaging, great service.

Put on stress test and has held up great. Paired with a ROG Strix and has been solid. Great with heavy gaming.

Overall this is a great processor to have for multi-purpose use. A single CCD 8-core processor is a little bit better for gaming, but the difference is often negligible. I have minor complaints in that the mismatched CCDs seem to affect user modifications. For example, setting a negative voltage in PBO will result in instability if you set it per core or per CCD and properly tune it due to the second CCD running significantly lower voltages and driving the averages down. You'll have to manually match the second CCD to the first even though it can take much lower. Voltage seems to be applied to the whole CPU on a weakest link basis and sometimes it just doesn't go up fast enough because of this.The mismatched CCD thing is strange. The second CCD uses less power and runs at lower speeds but also drives overall power usage down a bit. I'm not sure how well it's managed. In a way it's almost like economy cores except they're full fledged "performance" cores, just running lower with less voltage and power. If the SoC smartly routes high end things like games towards the first core running at full speed, it should get pretty excellent results. But then again, I have yet to see any single core go more than one or two over 50% in total usage (counting SMT) in any game and most are around 30% or so, so I'm not sure the lesser speed of the second CCD really has any effect on gaming anyway.I do wish modern Ryzens didn't run so hot. Starting with Zen 3 they all are designed to just go ahead and max out pretty high thermally. AMD has raised their maximum limits pretty high compared to previous generations which seems great, but there is sometimes some very heavy thermal cycling. It's like slamming your car into a gear that puts it in the yellow line every single time you go up a hill even if it's not that steep. That won't tear it up on its own, but it isn't good for its longevity either. Not that Intel is doing any better in this regard... I do feel like the chiplet architecture of the Ryzens is still superior in a lot of ways though, not the least of which being that it's completely OS agnostic and can manage fine points far faster and more directly than the motherboard or the OS. I hear these are still cooler than the Zen 4 processors however. I can only say that it absolutely runs hotter even in idle compared to my previous Zen 3.Still, all this stuff aside, AMD's Ryzen processors are a pretty good for quite a lot of multi-purpose uses, including both gaming and applications. Intel might get slightly higher benchmarks, but these will run cooler and more efficiently while actual user experience will feel about the same. You also have far more control over over/underclocking or things like voltage (though the mismatched CCD issue I mentioned does make me feel that is decreased slightly, it's still better than the controls you get with Intel.) All in all I'm getting really good performance and results from this CPU.
