  This processor is used in a computer designed for architectural rendering and gaming.
  In a few words, it's a beast!
  Its speeds reach over 5GHz and for its price, it's flawless!
  The only "negative" aspect is the temperatures which exceed 80 degrees under moderate workload.
  However, the processor is designed to operate at such temperatures and theoretically there should be no issue in using it!
  I personally recommend a good liquid cooling system (In my case, I chose the beQuiet Pure Loop).
  There is also the option to use throttling to make it work at lower temperatures, but I haven't done it myself because there's no reason to when the company says it was made to operate between 50 (Idle) to 95 (Heavy load) degrees.
  Of course, if you notice it going above 100, it would be good to consider using the "throttling".

  Very good processor with very good performance and reasonable temperature levels. Generally, you will need a 360 liquid cooling or a very good air cooling, but in my opinion, the first option is better. Also, it has the pins on the motherboard, which is very convenient for me because I'm anxious about accidentally bending one while cleaning it. Overall, it will not disappoint you.

  Very good processor for its price. It runs everything perfectly fine and with a good air cooler (I personally use the Arctic Freezer 34 Esports DUO), it won't have any cooling issues (in my case, it runs at around 70 degrees Celsius while gaming with a relatively restricted airflow case)

  In my opinion, the 7700x is the perfect sweet spot for gaming. It doesn't present any issues and is exceptional in terms of price.

  It is one of the most reliable processors for gaming. For me, for my setup, I prefer to have a bottleneck on the graphics card rather than the other way around. I have an AMD 6750xt.

  What I liked:

  - It installs like the Intel processors now, without the pins. If you try to remove the cooler, it doesn't take the processor with it like it did with AM4.
  - The placement on the motherboard is more noticeable.
  - It has processing power to offer if you pair it with the appropriate RAM.
  - It supports overclocking if you have the proper cooling and motherboard.

  What I didn't like:

  - The design doesn't allow you to easily determine where to apply thermal paste.
  - The pre-installed graphics are not on par with Intel's equivalent.

  In order to fully utilize it in the future and since it doesn't come with a cooling solution, I decided to purchase an Arctic Liquid Freezer II liquid cooler after extensive research to meet the cooling needs. It is a warm processor, I won't deny that. Without overclocking, it stays at around 39 degrees Celsius at idle, while with overclocking, it reaches 55-59 degrees Celsius.

  I also want to emphasize that every future buyer should pay attention to the bottleneck with the graphics card, and have the processor be the one to handle it, not the other way around. If you search on various sites, even a processor that is up to 20% more powerful than the graphics card can yield good results in terms of frame rates. If your budget doesn't allow for a very powerful graphics card to balance it out around 0.1-5%, talk to experienced users about undervolting to do it yourself, but with the corresponding cost in performance.

  That's all for now.

  Powerful processor in whatever you assign it to, I prefer not to operate at 95C and the only thing I have done is to adjust the core boost clock limit, platform thermal throttle limit through precision boost overdrive, I set it to 75C. With noctua a12u, depending on the application and workload, it ranges from 5200mhz to 5400 full load, and in some compilations it briefly reaches 5500mhz. Its power consumption ranges from 111-117W with a limit of 75 degrees Celsius.

  Update, I set the PPT to 85W. Even better performance in terms of productivity, temperature (55-60C), and consumption.

  Very good and fast. The only negatives are that:
  1) The integrated graphics of the processor offer very low performance in gaming. Definitely need a graphics card!
  2) Combining the processor with the Asrock B650E PG Riptide WiFi Motherboard ATX caused some bugs and inexplicably low refresh rate on the screen (10-13 FPS on low and 3 FPS on FurMark). I did a bios update and the situation improved somewhat, but there are still some small bugs at times which I hope will be fixed with a newer bios update.

  UPDATE: In the end, the bugs and low framerate are due to the motherboard and not the CPU as I initially thought.

  Very good processor, so good that now the graphics card is the bottleneck in my system. I would suggest tweaking the BIOS a bit when you get the processor, undervolting a bit, and generally tinkering with it, but even as stock it's exceptional. Of course, you pay the "tax" of the new AMD platform, the motherboards don't have suitable BIOS and you may have issues with DDR5 memory, but otherwise it's great. The temperatures are a bit high and the cooling doesn't make a huge difference, but that's where you play around to squeeze out more performance or run it a bit cooler to save power. I've done PBO -30, kept the temperature below 85°C, and TDP at 85W instead of 105W.

  It raises temperatures up to 95 degrees in spikes in games like Msfs 2020, around 77 to 85 approximately. It also performs well in Star Citizen. Overall, it is very powerful and worth it! I tested it on a system with AMD 7700X, ASROCK PG LIGHTNING X670E, 32GB DDR5 at 6000, with an RTX 3070 Ti and Oculus Quest 2 in VR. In Msfs 2020, with custom graphics settings (some medium, some low, some high), I saw an increase of 20 to 30 fps compared to my previous processor. At the airport, it runs smoothly at 40 fps. At 5000 ft, it goes up to 67 fps. At 10000 ft and above, it reaches 80+ fps. There is a significant difference, so it's a great card to have
