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

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.

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X 12-Core, 24-Thread CPU is a beast, handling my workloads and games smoothly, just like my old Intel Core i9-13900K setup. The 4.4 GHz base and 5.6 GHz boost keep everything snappy, and it’s great for multitasking. Feels very similar in performance, though I expected a bit more of a leap. Still, it’s a reliable choice for a high-end build

Had the 7900x and bought this 9900x to save power7900x idle like 11kwh a day9900x idle like 6 kwh a dayThat being said, 9900x uses slightly more power if you were to be using it all the timeSo for example, 9900x it uses like 10 more watts under load than 7900x for why I was using itOf course this is also I also Ihad my 7900 X under volted to the 120 W tdp and even still underload 7900x would use it less power under load most of the timeBut idle is what my computer does most of the time and it’s significantly less power usage under idleFor example, 7900 X was 234w idle9900 X can go down to 170 wAnd then it seemed like overtime. It actually learned how to use even less power at idle, the 9900xI’m happy

Jesus Christ, upgraded from a 10900k to this BEAST!!!!!! THE 9900X WOW!!!! this cpu is so much more powerful than Yahweh, and any system ive had before,Who needs religion when you can have AI baby, im so impressed with this CPUThanks, Jeff Bezos for the deal on this CPU, my elite masters i love them all

WOW, was debating some other chips and looking into overclocking and also making sure I dont bottle neck anything this was what I landed on. I paired it with a 7900xt and don't get any issues in bottle necking and the AMD on AMD boosts my OC ability. I will say that AMD is pretty Hot out the gates BUT they under tune all chips to work with a stock air cooler. THAT being said I originally paired this with a 420mm AIO, unfortunately when i did my build i did not like how the 420mm fit in my ceres 500 and went with a 360mm instead and stock THAT is plenty! at idiel I get around 37c and playing games like Fort, Marvel Rivals, delta force and Ready or Not I MAX out at like 60c running 2k or 4k and getting 120fps (2k) or 90-100fps (4k) (NOTE: i cap all frames at 120 unless i can push 144) ... after running it with Ryzen utility and doing a auto OC I get a boost in about 30-50 frames and NO temp difference for a budget CPU for gaming this one hits the mark perfectly!

This is for my son's gaming computer he built. We couldn't get the new one that came out by another company so bought this and he is very happy with performance!

Memory compatibility is still an issue for these, unfortunately. I was hoping AMD would have things figured out by now, considering this has been a consistent issue since Zen launched, especially considering how much of a difference memory speed makes on this platform.I was able to run at my RAM's advertised "AMD optimized" speeds for ~2 days before my system became unstable and started bluescreening randomly. I've had to tune the timings back to only 6000MT to keep my system usable.I'm still fairly happy with it, though, as it's quite the upgrade over the AM4 system I upgraded from.

Went with this cpu because 9950x3d wasn't in stock or was horribly priced. Honestly I have no regrets. It works great and so far anything I've thrown at it it handles. Everything loads quick and feels snappy.
