Review: Best Chip I have ever owned..!! - 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.
Review: Caution: Contents Extremely Hot - 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Peppy Punch for the Price
*by A***E on December 18, 2017*

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.
