Gets hot under heavy load
Needs expensive new motherboard

Verdict

Our verdict on the Ryzen 7 7700X

AMD Ryzen 7 7700X is a solid 8-core Zen4 chip with a tendency to run hot for its class.

Get it if you want a fast, efficient CPU for gaming and everyday work without spending on the top-tier models. Skip it if you need heavy multi-core power for video editing or rendering, as the Ryzen 9 series offers better performance for that.
