AMD Ryzen 7 7700 8-Core, 16-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor

For what I have, office use, this has surpassed all my expectations. Given this is my first ever PC build. Going AMD over intel was a tricky choice to make, but nonetheless the right choice. I highly recommend this product and this is an outstanding CPU. I can run multiple monitors, applications, softwares, etc. all simultaneously without any issues!

I use this CPU for single player games (4k, 1440p), and for administrative office work. It excels at both. Runs newer games and drives my 7800XT without ever bottlenecking. It also came with a capable RGB cooler, although it's a little loud. The cooler looks great though . Works if you want to save some pennies. Easy to install, and very easy to overclock with a B650 motherboard.

great product

Everyone wants the 3D chips to play games. For anything else this 8 core chip is great. I was going to get the Ryzen 5 5600 6 core but read a review that mentioned the Ryzen 7 7700 came with a upgraded OEM cooler. This changed the calculus and the $100 extra for a very nice upgraded OEM designed RGB cooler plus 2 extra cores put this chip at the top of my list. This is an amazing value for your money. The technology today is truly amazing that you can have this kind of performance out of a 65W chip and the engineers at AMD know what they are doing. The upgraded cooler blows down, cooling not only the chip but also the surrounding electronics on the main board unlike most aftermarket air coolers. Thermal paste is pre applied. Unless you need the extra cache for gaming (3d designation) or a threadripper, I consider this chip one of the best values in 1st quarter 2025. The integrated graphics is also nice to have, even though I have a discreet NVIDIA GPU.

Great CPU at a reasonable price. The wraith fan keeps it cool for everything I do.

Pair this with a rx 7900 xt and getting very good cpu/gpu performance. Near the top tier, I would say low high end for a thousand less $

I would pick this up these days at about a $275 price point. For any more, I’d be considering a 7800x3d, a 7900, or maybe one of the upcoming APUs. Intel has good i5 and i7 options from multiple generations close to this price point as well.That being recognized, The AMD r7 7700 is a good CPU, with eight powerful cores on a single CCD, PBO capability which puts it up with the 7700x, and an included, tastefully RGB stock cooler that works fine. This is a good option for a lot of folks, but most mid to high end buyers will probably pass this in favor of other interesting options.

Saved a few dollars over the mail order PC store. Works well.
