AMD 7000 Series Ryzen 7 7700X Desktop Processor 8 cores 16 Threads 40 MB Cache 4.5 GHz Up to 5.4 GHz Socket AM5, 600 Series Chipset (100-100000591WOF)

The 7000 series processors are notorious for running at high temperatures, undoubtedly due to higher power consumption and additionally, this is assissted due to the thick IHS. This processor, the 7700x, is fast (really good for mid range CPUs) and I was able to install it without any hiccups. If you have kept up with the news regarding the AM5 motherboards, some of them (specially ASUS, along with some GIGABYTE boards) were literally frying the CPU along with the socket due to the unreasonably high voltage deliveries to the processor. (Additionally, out of the box, AMD has set these processors to run at 95°C, further adding to the problem and they said 'it is MADE to run at 95 degress by design' - still I am a bit uneasy hearing this.) This was the story of nearly a few months to a year ago. HOWEVER, since then, the constant BIOS updates have really stabilized the boards and I can safely say, AM5 platform has stepped into the mainstream territory. Some tips I would suggest, just for the safety, first of all, these new AM5 boards come with 'BiosFlashback' feature so you could update the BIOS to the lastest version without installing anything else. Watch videos for further details. Secondly, I believe the 95°C 'being normal' is uncomfortable for a lot of people. What I did with my ASUS b650 E-F motherboard is that I tweaked the BIOS a bit and undervolted the CPU to 1.20V from 1.30V. Also did some adjustments with the Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) setting, the Curve optimizer and I set the Thermal throttle limit to 75°C which I feel comfortable with. No doubt, my processor runs at around 95% capacity BUT staying at 75 degrees, I feel much comfortable now. You won't see any noticeable change in performance and your processor stays cool. It's much better to stay safe with these temperatures and expand the lifespan of these processors. Hope this helped :) Edit: It's just over a month since I have been using this processor. Let me mention, the temperature doesn't really go above 60°C and averages around 55 degrees. The only time I hit 75°C was when I stress tested it. My computer is running smooth and I'm really satisfied with the results, the main one being, it is not going supernova. Oh and just to mention, I am using an AIO cooler. Edit 2: Okay, I've to mention something after using the processor for 4 months. In the previous month, I tested it on stock settings. No undervolting nor thermal throttle limit, just some modified PBO settings and I've noticed the temperature doesn't hit 95 degrees at all. It averages around 60. The only time it really heats up is when I focus on some CPU intensive tasks. My new recommendation would be, to use the processor on stock settings. I was handicapping it a bit.

Performs very well

There are various comparisons available that prove how powerful the processor works. What they fail to mention is that, beyond a certain level there is diminishing return, ~15% synthetic benchmark FPS cannot be perceived in real life. 8C16T 7700x fulfills all the current and foreseeable future gaming requirements at affordable prices. Better ROI would be to invest in good graphics card which has huge impact. Overindulgence on processor may not be exactly beneficial in future. Think of AI scenarios that will become mainstream in few years. Even 5600x or 7600x is good enough if money is constraint.

Running smooth

The processor is going great. No stutters anywhere. But I will admit it runs super hot. My DeepCool AG400 is kinda having troubles keeping it cool 🤣. I need a better cooling solution for this.

Very good performance especially if you are a gamer like me the speed was amazing And the pc goes like below 50 ping

Got it for, around 30k during Republic Day sale.One of the budget friendly, performance based 7000 series processor.

I had no idea this just won't run cool

👍

perfect

最初、表示では半月以上先の到着との事だったけど、注文後１週間程度で届きました。しかし国際郵便で届き、え!?大丈夫かなぁ？と心配したけどちゃんと7700Xで安心しました。

Mas que satisfecho con el desempeño y haciendole un undervolt queda mejor, lo utiliso con una 4070 ti s y va de sobra no llega a mas de 50 % de uso en juegos triple A

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X is an outstanding desktop processor for both gaming and productivity. With 8 cores and 16 threads, it handles multitasking, streaming, and content creation with ease. Installation was straightforward on my AM5 motherboard, and it runs efficiently with decent thermals under load. Performance in modern games is excellent, delivering high frame rates even at demanding settings. The CPU responds well to overclocking, and support for DDR5 memory ensures fast system performance. Overall, it’s a reliable, high-performing chip that competes well in its class, providing great value for gamers, streamers, and creators who want power and efficiency in one package.
