Discussion AMD ryzen 7000 what are your opinions and thoughts a little over a year since launch?

[Order 66]

I love my 7700x, but maybe I am a bit biased coming from an i5-6500. what are your thoughts about ryzen 7000 a year later? Thanks, @jnjnilson6 for the idea, I got the idea when I saw your thread for 14th gen intel opinions.

I'm glad I wasn't an early adopter, but aside from those early days, mostly hear good things, or nothing (which is good)

As to massive upgrades, you can never really know unless you have a sample of both. I tend toward more minor upgrades because I enjoy the process so rarely get to see the big jumps in performance. At least not since the late 90s early 2000s when every upgrade was major, no matter how close together you built systems.

Certainly has me leaning towards Ryzen 8000 for my next build.

I don't even remember if AM5 had issues when it first launched.

Many.
Memory compatibility, as always with a new standard (I haven't heard much on the latest AGESA, but that should have brought things closer to parity with Intel in terms of top speed)
CPUs getting burned out by poor motherboard defaults, a lot of rapid BIOS updates sent out. Controversy on warranty claims from ASUS for a brief period.

That I do remember, mainly because many tech YouTubers were blasting ASUS (and rightfully so) for the way they handled the situation.

AMD and ASUS here. Been not too bad. Longer boot times than I like one bios fixed it, but the latest bios made it worse again.

Been really stable, built multiples AM5 builds.

7700 non x and a arctic freezer ii 280mm is the perfect combo in my opinion dump a 7900xt with it and you got yourself a great rig ..
cl30 6000 32gb
had no issues with my rog crosshair x670e gene ..

i built this for a friend 7700non x , 280mm arctic freezer ii ,argb , rog strix b650e-i gaming wifi , Gskill z5 rgb cl30 6000 ram , MSI 6800xt z trio , corsair rm850 psu , arctic freezer all black P140 fans at the bottom , rear fan ezy fab red lcd 120mm fan, red corsair 450mm long aio sleaves .. ezy fab pcie gpu plugs .. red cabling in a jonsbo mesh d31 lcd case !!
about $2700 aud is the over all cost !!

I absolutely love this build ( my main is better ) but the simplistic approach to this build just works the 6800xt is a solid 16gb gpu the 7700 is a very good cpu and the non x makes it easy to cool 60c all core R23 using the arctic freezer ii 280mm ( with many options to upgrade later zen 5 better gpu etc etc)

Mobo while being ITX ( more expensive ) the pcie gen 5 x16 gives a bit of next gen gpu speeds ( some b650s are still gen 4 )

only gen 4 m.2 compatible but i think budget VS gen 5 m.2 is 50/50 where even my $950 crosshair gene is 2 gen 5 and one is gen 5 and one gen 4 using the gen Z expansion and im only using gen 4 m.2s so MEH !!

The added rgb for the bling ( while not needed ) added a bit of fancy..
(may as well have something cool to look at too )
( this system is double double fast rgb and red makes it go faster )

there is a fix for the long boot times in bios well with Asus boards .. remember if bios updated alot goes back to default..
enable context restore in bios again !! it will reset it back to default like expo settings every bios update !!

Your CPU is around the Core i7-12700K so it should be within the most enthusiast segment in the voluptuous reel of high-end Processors.

The Core i7-3770K from 2012 could be used quite well at least 7 years into the future (2019) and used in a thoroughly exhaustive manner for heavy tasks. I would say that the 7700X ought to retain a synonymous future and that you should take in the somber delight of seeing the months and years pass by and noticing that performance still dabbles beautifully upon the edgier titles and applications and the experience is smoothened, retaining the gravity of a component meant to last a long time.

It's a great CPU and very fast indeed. I would say you could be fully comfortable with it for the heaviest stuff in the next 5 years; that could stretch up to 9 years if by the end of that period middle-end usage suits yourself.

What more can be said? It's a great CPU! Reminds me a little of the Core i7-2600/2700K and the Core i7-3770K days. Those CPUs were monsters. There was nothing in the gaming world that could bend them. The tables have turned and the 7700X now, alongside synonymous CPUs, claims that title. Today is today and yet there is still a long way until the momentous strength of the aforementioned component should fade, breathing out effortless memories of subtle dreamy particulars and nuances tempting in vividness the surreal gaming mind, growing like framerates on forgotten Mesas and cadences trimmed to perfection on wide resolutions by mind-numbing scenes; golden, unrememberable hours...

I may have lost the silicon lottery with my 7700x a bit, because I cannot for the life of me, get it to 5.5GHz all-core. The max I could get it to that was even temporarily stable was 5.475 GHz. I know that the performance gain would be negligible, but it is more for getting it to 5.5 and leaving it. The temps at idle are about 32C and under load they get to about 85C although I am sure they could be better if I set the fans to full blast, but the noise (even with an AIO) is unbearable.

I love the fast boot times of an NVME drive in general, but I definitely do think the 7700x helps, even with a ton of startup processes, it just chews through it. I do wish I would have gone with a 7600x and spent more on a faster GPU, although the only game I need more performance is Minecraft RTX, but I have to upscale it anyway since it is blurry at native 1080p.
