AMD Ryzen™ 5 7600X 6-Core, 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor

I was initially worried about the 95C temperature targeting making my system too noisy, but thats because I was used to the old way to tune fans. It used to be you had to stress-test your CPU and then clumsily tweak your fan curve to keep it cool while often getting really loud. The new behavior essentially allows you to set the exact maximum fan speed you want since you know the CPU wont go above that 95C maximum temperature.

Huge improvement over my 8600k.

Between the b650 mobo, ddr5 ram, and 7600 Ryzen CPU, it boots slow. I didn’t expect a 30 seconds boot time from a $1,500 setup.

Replaced a box with a Ryzen 5 3600, huge gains. Runs much hotter. I ended up going with an AIO liquid cooler, and with a bit of undervolting you can keep it at under 85 under full load. Its pretty zippy. Kind of wished I had gone with the Ryzen 7, but ive got no real complaints.

Let me start off by saying I put together my am5 build for my sons computer. I couldnt decide between 13th gen Intel or this at the 300 price point. Honestly the Intel is a better performing processor and more versatile BUT eats much more power. This is the right entry point for AM5.

Simple dummy proof installation. Keeps up with all tasks, games and streaming.

FYI. If you actually want to receive the Jedi Survivor game with your purchase, you have to make sure you follow a convoluted process of clicks under the promotions area. Its not as simple as just ordering the processor. If you just ordered the processor and thought youd receive a copy of Jedi Survivor once the processor shipped, youd be wrong. Feels dishonest.

So far so good, runs all my games with a huge increase in performance has more than enough power and it also runs cool under a Deepcool ak620 cooler looking at 68 celcius under full load.

Ive topped this CPU with Thermaltake Contac Silent 12 150W and now enjoying with constant squeal of a circular saw. This CPU is very hot, not only in the games, but even when You are opening a page on the Internet. Needs a solid power cooler.

Annoyed I pulled the trigger on this and I cant even find a responsibly priced motherboard. Now you can pick up a 13600KF for $309, and its significantly more powerful. Personally Im thinking about just returning my 7600x and picking up the 13600k. AMD should be charging around $200-225 for this tops.
