Intel BX80673I97900X Core i9-7900X X-Series Processor 10 Cores up to 4.3 GHz Turbo Unlocked LGA2066 X299 Series 140W

Coming from X99 and was skeptical about X299. I decided on this model chip bc the Turbo 3.0 frequency is the same as the 7820x, the 10 core was appealing in itself but also the 44 PCI express lanes. Using on Asus Rampage Extreme VI with 3 M.2 storage devices and dual GPU's. The particular chip I received. Delidded myself and can achieve 4.8 GHZ speeds. Very happy with both the chip and my decision to go bigger on cores. Maximum Temperatures under Load, never exceed 80C at 4.8 GHZ. I use a daily clock of 4.6 and never exceed 70C but cooling with full water loop. As our current and future games rely on more core and thread counts. I feel good that I can handle most anything that's out there without stressing my system to warm. Highly recommend. coming from X99 6 core 6850k on Rampage V ed 10. Also use a lot for Photoshop and Video editing. Great chip.

Picked up the 7900X for my X299 system. Decided on the 7900X because of the higher speed compared to the more expensive ones with more cores. Simply put, games don't use all of these cores, and so the 7980XE not has unused potential, but what is used is slower than the 7900X. For an X299 system, the 7900X is the best CPU for gaming. You may even want to look at a Z370 system, but I want my PCIe lanes, and I want enough for full 16 on 2 video cards. If you only use 1 video card, you'd be happy with Z370 and i7 8700k for gaming. I let my Asus Rampage VI Extreme board auto overclock this CPU, and it pulled 4.6 out of the bag. Nice! There is a problem with these CPUs though, and that problem is heat. I have a Corsair H115i AiO watercooler on it, with a push/pull configuration. Now, granted, the 280mm radiator is only like 25~30mm thick, and the tubing is small... The AiO and CPU run around 40C at idle at base speeds. That's 10C higher than my i7 5960X OCed at 4.2GHz. I haven't seen the temps go over 55C, but I haven't run anything like Prime95 to stress the CPU. All the kids today talk about "delidding" which is a risky process, and not the kind of thing you want to just try on a $900 item. Plus doing so will instantly kill your warranty. But the results are apparently much better temps. Personally, I plan on putting together my own loop and the H115i is just a temp solution. With a triple 140mm radiator that's 55mm thick, likely a HardwareLabs Black Ice rad, the i9 will be much more controlled. Still, it's a hot CPU! Maybe hotter than McDonald's coffee.

Had this for about 1.5 months. I was strongly considering the 7940, but it was rarer/harder to find, and about 50% more expensive (which is a lot at this level). This one seemed to have good scores, comparably, so I took the chance. Not disappointed. It runs great, especially overclocked. I'm still not sure the turbo boost software does much for me, but I use it. It's nice not having to wait on my computer much now. Most things are more or less instant.

I live not too far from Intel and it is an amazing company. Most of their products are of high quality and leaves me sitting on the edge of my seat with anticipation, waiting for the next big thing to release. Unfortunately, this CPU is very capable although the head is an issue, as everyone is aware of. For gaming and streaming, it is a very capable CPU but you would still be better off using the AMD 1800x which is far cheaper. The Threadripper is in no way better though compared to this. Maybe in small areas depending on what you are really using it for but overall this is a better card but the price always is the deciding factor here. I really would love to get my hands on a 7980XE or something of the like to test out but they are quite expensive. I have been with both AMD and Intel, and I will likely stay with Intel here. Hopefully, AMD will influence their prices and we can see an increase in performance with a reduction in price!

I cannot believe how poor the thermals for the 7900X are. I did very well in the silicone lottery, managing to get a chip that could achieve 4.5 Ghz stable on all cores at a mere 1.065 Vcore. Even at this remarkably low voltage, the CPU Package temps were still reaching in excess of 105C when running an Aida64 stress test, stressing the CPU and FPU - all while being cooled with a Corsair H115i, using the stock fans running at a constant 50%. The individual cores were peaking at 90-96C as well. This is simply unacceptable from a $1000 "Extreme" HEDT CPU. I won't even talk about how the VRM's on my Gigabyte Aorus X299 Gaming 7 mobo were reaching 110C with a Noctua 120mm fan pointed straight at them. Turns out motherboards have a hard time handling a CPU that likes to pull 300+ watts under fairly mild overclocks... I knew the temps were relatively high with non-delided X299 CPU's, because of the TIM (aka cheapo thermal paste) Intel uses to connect the die to the IHS. I did not expect them to be this bad. Keep in mind, with my CPU I could likely achieve a 5.0 Ghz all-core overclock with a Vcore of 1.15 to 1.175 if there was any temperature headroom in the CPU or VRM's at all. With a 5 Ghz overclock, this CPU would beat the Threadripper 1950X in all-core performance in addition to having WAY better single-core performance. However, even if I spent the extra time and money needed to delid my CPU (voiding the warranty), the VRM's on my high end, $400 motherboard would prevent me from going any higher than 4.5 Ghz anyway. So, if you are planning on custom watercooling your PC, making something like an EK monoblock a viable option for actively cooling your VRM's in addition to your delided CPU, then sure, X299 is probably a better buy for you than Threadripper. You'll be very happy with the high overclocks that will be achievable with that setup. For my needs though, this 7900X is essentially useless. I originally chose the Intel 7900X over the AMD 1950X because its single core performance is better, making it a better CPU for gaming, which I primarily do. It would still have been a notable upgrade from my 5820K in applications like Adobe Premier and Blender, which I use mainly on a hobby basis. With the ridiculous temps I am experiencing, however, the increased single core performance simply does not make up for the severely decreased multi-threaded performance I get with the 7900X when compared to a 1950X. To provide a quick example, I score 178 in Cinebench's single core performance test with my 7900X at 4.0 Ghz (the only clock speed I could achieve while keeping all the cores under 85C), and 2181 in the multi-threaded test. Compare this to the 1950X's easily attainable scores of 160 single core and 3100 multi-core (at STOCK frequencies), and there's just no competition from team blue. The bottom line is, unless you plan to seriously mod this CPU and the motherboard it's attached to, DO NOT BUY IT. Sure, the 1950X will offer slightly worse framerates in games, but I can live with that when its workstation performance is easily 30% better while using half the power and staying below 70C in stress tests. Good riddance, Intel. I'm returning your sorry excuse for an HEDT CPU and moving to Threadripper. "Extreme?" More like "Extremely likely to set your desk on fire..."

Update despues de 1 mes y medio de uso. Todo sigue funcionando de maravilla y ahora tengo números más reales de trabajos: Render con Arnold Render (Maya 2018) a 5k de resolución a 300 dpis 5820k - 145 Minutos 7900x - 63 Minutos Render con Arnold Render (Maya 2018) a 2k de resolución a 72 dpis 5820k - 24 Minutos 7900x - 10 Minutos La temperatura ha disminuido un poco más no se si por que ya se asentó al 100% la pasta térmica pero a Full Render no sobrepasa los 63 Grados Celsius. Es una maravilla de procesador completamente recomendable si vas a vivir de el, si es para gaming o hobbie creo que hay mejores opciones, pero para trabajo, puedo decir que en tan solo 1 mes este procesador ya prácticamente se pago. ------------------ Antes que nada me gustaría darles un brief de a que me dedico: Actualmente soy Generalista 3D y muchas veces me llevo el trabajo a casa o me cae uno que otro freelanceo, por lo que tener un equipo de última generación es básico para mi, ahora si al review del producto. Después de analizar los i9 y los threadrippers y haber leído en todo internet acerca de lo caliente que es este procesador me decidi a comprar Intel, ya que llego muchos años usandolo y NUNCA he tenido un solo problema, ademas los foros de AMD estan repletos de problemas de inestabilidad en los TR y de incompatibilidad con memorias RAM. 7900x, desata a la bestia. Viniendo de un 5820k (tampoco nada despreciable) la diferencia es muchísima, trabajos de producción en After Effects, Premiere, Nuke y Maya los realiza más de 2 veces más rápido, render para impresión que con el 5820k tomaban al rededor de 2 horas ahora toman 45 minutos, esto ha optimizado muchísimo mis tiempos, me ha permitido tomar mas freelanceos y ha aumentado la calidad de mi trabajo, a mas poder de procesamiento mas cosas puedo meterle. Ahora hablemos de algo que a muchos les da miedo, la temperatura, en este caso no se si los reviewers sean pagados por alguien o como funcione pero personalmente no se me hace que este procesador corra caliente, lo estoy usando junto con un AIO NZXT Kraken X62 y en idle normalmente esta entre 27 y 32 grados Centigrados, una vez lanzado un render y que el procesador se usa al 100% la temperatura comienza a subir, pero nada que me alarme, la temperatura máxima que le he visto a un núcleo es de 65 grados, nada fuera de lo común y esto usando el modo "Silent" del Kraken. La realidad es que el 5820k a full load llegaba al rededor de los 58 grados por lo que para mi la diferencia es mínima dado cuanto poder tiene de mas. Lo bueno: - Excelente procesador, muy fácil de instalar. - Calidad garantizada, solo lo instale y al primer intento booteo e instalo Windows sin ningún inconveniente. - Velocidades de infarto hasta 2.5 veces más rápido que un 5820k. - Tenía miedo de la temperatura pero para mi gusto y estándares 65 grados después de un render a 6k y 300 DPIs no es nada. - Se que ya lo menciono, pero han probado 10 nucleos a 4.3 GHz??? Es una bestia!!! Lo malo - El costo, si bien es una herramienta de trabajo que se paga sola desembolsar más de $20,000 por un procesador es bastante. Amazon como siempre una maravilla, ordene el domingo por la noche y el martes antes de mediodía ya tenía mi paquete, perfectamente empacado y en perfecto estado. - Otros componentes * Asus Strix x299-E * Interl Core i9 7900x * AIO NZXT Kraken x62 * 64 GB DDR4 Kingston HyperX Fury * Asus Strix 980Ti * EVGA Supernova 750G2 Plus Gold * NZXT H440i Razer Edition

Perfecto trabaja muy bien

cher mais tourné vers l'avenir, il n'a que 10 coeurs lorsque la concurrence en propose 16. Il dispose de moins de cache L3 (mais plus de cache L2 dû à l'architecture mesh) mais il fait son taf sans broncher ! traitement video, jeux, etc, rien ne lui résiste. Avec 10 coeurs on en a au moins pour 6 ou 7 ans et d'ici là, le prix des 7960X voire 7980XE aura baissé et permettra de garder sa plateforme au moins une bonne 10e d'années (mon i7 2600K a passé le cap des 6 ans sans encombres). Remplace le 6950X qui coutait 2 fois plus cher, certains vous diront qu'il n'est pas adapté pour le jeu, il n'en est rien, il coute deux fois moins cher et l'architecture mesh est clairement orienté vers l'avenir ... un must have !!

Muy buen procesador. Muy por encima de los Ryzen pero por el precio puede que me esperara algo más en edición de vídeo. No lleva gráfica integrada y hace que no se pueda aprovechar el render por hardware de Premiere (Quicksinc). Aun así muy satisfecho.
