Absolute performance monster
This CPU is a beast. Built a new setup with it for heavy workloads (editing, rendering, and a bit of gaming too), and the performance is just insane. It renders video in real time without any lag.I managed to overclock it no problem...it runs hot but with a good cooler (I’m using a asus 360mm AIO) it stays under control. No crashes or anything so far.Just make sure your motherboard supports it properly or you might run into issues. Other than that, it’s the kind of upgrade you feel right away. Totally worth it.

Great performance!
My build:Motherboard: NZXT N7 B650E with integrated 4k GPU and onboard WiFi6CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9900XRAM: 128GB DDR5PSU: 1k WattSSD: 1x 1TB + 1x 2TB, both Western DigitalLiquid Cooling: GAMDIAS Aura GL240 V2, 240mmChassis: GAMDIAS White ATX Mid Tower with 4x 120mm ARGB FansEasy to install and works like a charm. Great functionality, my images and videos look fantastic, and it doesn't use that much power in my build. I have a 1k watt power supply with plenty of power to spare, so it barely uses much of that anyway. I don't do much gaming with my setup (I mainly do multimedia work), but the few games I do play look excellent. Can't speak to its own heat levels since I put in liquid cooling.

AMD is the King of Processors!
I upgraded this with an ASUS X870 Plus Mobo, and I will say, this runs about 5-10 degrees cooler with the same AIO and case fans than my previous 7900X with ASUS B650 Plus mobo. This thing is a beast, I work in development (coding) with a bunch of VM's, SSMS and such, and this thing just laughs and asks for more. I do some gaming with this, and have had zero issues with this cpu and an AMD 7800 XT GPU... I am truly happy that I upgraded. Now if the AMD 10000 series is much better, I will upgrade again!Note: I did have to upgrade my 750watt PSU to a 1000watt PSU (not sure if 1000 watt was actually needed) since this would not boot with 750watt PSU.

Great product
Put on stress test and has held up great. Paired with a ROG Strix and has been solid. Great with heavy gaming.

Super fast.
Computer now starts up in about twenty seconds. (All AMD) Really fast. Sorry, I'm not a gamer so can't speak to gaming with it. But I run an AI from within the computer rather than using the cloud, using LM Studio, and it answers within a couple seconds every time, often nearly instantly, whereas it took half a minute or so with a very fast AM4 processor and it's slower memory, with the same video card. Installation was easy as expected and it runs cooler than my previous processor on the previous AM4 motherboard. The AM5 socket this uses and this processor support very fast memory frequencies up to 6000, which is where much of the quickness comes from. Its running Windows 11 with no problems.

AMD Ryzen 9 9900X: Solid but Familiar
The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X 12-Core, 24-Thread CPU is a beast, handling my workloads and games smoothly, just like my old Intel Core i9-13900K setup. The 4.4 GHz base and 5.6 GHz boost keep everything snappy, and it’s great for multitasking. Feels very similar in performance, though I expected a bit more of a leap. Still, it’s a reliable choice for a high-end build

High performance at an attainable price
This CPU had to satisfy a lot of requirements and it did. I am using this on a Minisforum MS-A1, which only delivers 105 watts for a dual ccd AM5 CPU and 90 for a single CCD CPU. I went through a 7700 which was good but I wanted better, a 7900x which was powerful but it was leaving too much performance on the table and then finally when I got the 9900x, the performance was outstanding. The CPU reaches 94 degrees under full CPU+GPU load but that's expected but the scores on benchmarks are significantly better and about 95% of a full powered motherboard. This was the best CPU for my application and it just feels so much more responsive and powerful than any of the others I tried. This is a performance monster, even with limited power draw. At the current 383 dollar price it is a wholehearted recommendation.

Overall great. Still gets pretty hot. Negative PBO voltage not working well. Cores don't match.
Overall this is a great processor to have for multi-purpose use. A single CCD 8-core processor is a little bit better for gaming, but the difference is often negligible. I have minor complaints in that the mismatched CCDs seem to affect user modifications. For example, setting a negative voltage in PBO will result in instability if you set it per core or per CCD and properly tune it due to the second CCD running significantly lower voltages and driving the averages down. You'll have to manually match the second CCD to the first even though it can take much lower. Voltage seems to be applied to the whole CPU on a weakest link basis and sometimes it just doesn't go up fast enough because of this.The mismatched CCD thing is strange. The second CCD uses less power and runs at lower speeds but also drives overall power usage down a bit. I'm not sure how well it's managed. In a way it's almost like economy cores except they're full fledged "performance" cores, just running lower with less voltage and power. If the SoC smartly routes high end things like games towards the first core running at full speed, it should get pretty excellent results. But then again, I have yet to see any single core go more than one or two over 50% in total usage (counting SMT) in any game and most are around 30% or so, so I'm not sure the lesser speed of the second CCD really has any effect on gaming anyway.I do wish modern Ryzens didn't run so hot. Starting with Zen 3 they all are designed to just go ahead and max out pretty high thermally. AMD has raised their maximum limits pretty high compared to previous generations which seems great, but there is sometimes some very heavy thermal cycling. It's like slamming your car into a gear that puts it in the yellow line every single time you go up a hill even if it's not that steep. That won't tear it up on its own, but it isn't good for its longevity either. Not that Intel is doing any better in this regard... I do feel like the chiplet architecture of the Ryzens is still superior in a lot of ways though, not the least of which being that it's completely OS agnostic and can manage fine points far faster and more directly than the motherboard or the OS. I hear these are still cooler than the Zen 4 processors however. I can only say that it absolutely runs hotter even in idle compared to my previous Zen 3.Still, all this stuff aside, AMD's Ryzen processors are a pretty good for quite a lot of multi-purpose uses, including both gaming and applications. Intel might get slightly higher benchmarks, but these will run cooler and more efficiently while actual user experience will feel about the same. You also have far more control over over/underclocking or things like voltage (though the mismatched CCD issue I mentioned does make me feel that is decreased slightly, it's still better than the controls you get with Intel.) All in all I'm getting really good performance and results from this CPU.
