At the bone stock 65W TDP, it runs incredibly cool and is a nice performer. 105W TDP is now officially supported as well, which gives you even better performance and it still runs cooler than any major player from Team Blue.
At this point I’d rather have efficiency rather than push for those few extra frames with Intel and need hundreds of bucks more in cooling hardware and power draw.
9700x here as well, for the price I got it at $220 it’s a steal. I’m just baffled people are still buying the 7800x3d at $350-400 used/new. Pretty sure I might get 2-4 frames more with my setup (7900xtx) but that’s not worth it to me for the extra cash spent. More power to AMD for knocking it out of the park though.
Yea you get yours from the Newegg sale that was like one day? I thought the 7800x3d was gonna drop in price that day and almost didn’t buy mine. Glad I did now.
I absolutely love my 9700x.

That’s about what I paid for mine as well. Feels like I stole it for how it benchmarks. Last gen x3d is definitely overpriced in comparison.
