Why is everyone ignoring the Ryzen 7 7700 non-X? It's got the same 65W TDP and 88W PPT as the 9700x, with 96-98% the performance of the 7700x, while costing lower

[pappy]

That near 50% temp increase from PBO is pretty gnarly.

[mauriciob]

congratulation, Leo and You are the best objective review so far . For me this CPU is for those that want to upgrade from early ryzen generations like from the the 3700X/5700X, also the Ryzen 9700X have a good overclocking potential as some famous overclockers already tested

[SoriPop]

Well done hands down the best review on the YouTube

[sezwo]

Incredible. Great idea to lead him and show visually with fingers that he needs to answer 4, 3, 2, 1 questions.

[robertmyers]

Great review. Would you mind sharing the static clock frequency and voltage?

[dawienel]

Popeye is doing PC tech?
Instant sub from me.

[justincase]

Good analysis here. Above and beyond other popular reviewers.

PBO2 usually involves an voltage underclock to allow the processor's boost to stretch it's legs a bit more and doesn't result in higher power draw and temps like you've shown here. It sounds like you're using PBO2 along side PBO or some other method of increasing the defaulte voltage parameters.

[MrHonestZ]

I liked your review of the CPU even though some people didn't try to overclock it on there reviews .

*5, 200MHz ram when the AMD site specifically says the SPD support is 5, 600MHz.*

*I called this issue a month ago. I said everyone is going the THINK the 9000 series CPUs are stuck on the 5, 200MHz SPD support. What a drag that I was right.*

[Scoobydcs]

From the few vids iv seen I'm getting the impression that stock there's barely any difference in performance but a bit gain in power usage. REALLY interested to see what happens if you open the power up and stretch their legs. Especially waiting for the x3d overclocked

[firexallstrz]

IM running mine at -20 it runs fine so far.

[najeebshah.]

Much better than the briandead hardware unboxed review

[Ironclad]

Would really like to see a breakdown on how these new cpus perform with Curve Shaper.

[tonymarsh]

Interesting review, most other sites reviewing these new CPU's are slating them especially due to cost.

[XtergoBlue]

Loved the intro, more of this guy please

[Paco-]

why not share results, what corespeed you did the manual overrclock and what voltage

[multiplyx]

It would have been nice to see a comparison between 7700X OC/PBO and 9700X OC/PBO.

[bodasactra]

The 5600X3D smacked the piss out of the 9700X in Gamers Nexus game test. A 6 core CPU based on 5 year old architecture two gens behind held it's own versus the 8 core 9700X. GN was stunned they had memory stability issues with both 9700X/9600X when AMD knew what board GN was going to use and provided a tuned BIOS for that board! People on mature, stable, reliable, AM4 should stay on AM4 and drop in a 5000X3D and ride it for years.

Under gaming the powerdraw on 7700x is Same as the 9700x der8bauer showed this, too. So...
