Information provided by our tech department
This high-TDP processor requires a high-performance cooling system capable of dissipating at least 200W (sold separately). The use of a liquid cooling system (All-In-One watercooling type) is recommended. Your motherboard's BIOS may need to be updated to support this processor, so check with the motherboard manufacturer's website before attempting to install it.

very good for 200w consumption (stress test)
this cpu is very powerful for multitasking, but my 5700X-3D is just as powerful in games with a respectable 4070Super (tested on both configurations). So for gaming, don't spend too much money on the cpu, it's the graphics card that accounts for 90% of the performance. Don't spend 200€ too much on the cpu and opt for 200€ more on the graphics card to go upmarket! In games, my 9950x+4070super config only consumes 400W (at the socket, so including the losses of my 95% titanium power supply, which gives a config draining only 380watts) at the very most, so choose a 600w power supply for this type of component; with good efficiency you'll optimise power consumption. My 2x120mm watercooler is very wide when it comes to cooling: by stressing my cpu I can't get it to go above 82°... for a maximum of 95° before self-reduction of performance!

A complete processor
The Ryzen 9 9950X has unfortunately received some unjustified criticism since its launch. It's important to understand that this is not just a processor for gaming. Designed to meet the demands of professionals, it excels in areas such as 4K/6K video editing, 3D modelling and the intensive calculations used by data scientists. Personally, I use it on DaVinci Resolve for complex projects, and it handles heavy timelines without the slightest slowdown, even when paired with an RTX 4080 graphics card.
Some people have compared this processor to the X3D models fromAMD, such as the 7950X3D and 7800X3D, which are optimised for gaming. However, although the 9950X is not equipped with the X3D chip and is not specifically designed for gaming, it offers comparable, if not slightly inferior, performance in this area. It stands out more for its exceptional multitasking capabilities, particularly for post-production, 3D and simulations.
Energy consumption is well under control, which is a major advantage for such a powerful processor. However, it should be borne in mind that it can reach operating temperatures of up to 95°C. If improperly cooled, it can increase the overall temperature of your system. With my configuration in the West Indies, where ambient temperatures are high, here are the figures I obtained:In heavy use: an average of 74°C, with peaks of 81°C.At rest: between 49 and 50°C.
To maintain these temperatures, I strongly recommend a good cooling system.
My configuration (LDLC) :
Power supply: MSI MPG A850G PCIE5
Thermal paste: Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut (1 gram)
Motherboard: MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI

Too expensive andAMD lies about performance!
AMD highlighted that games and productive tasks were far superior to the previous generation.
In reality, there has only been a 3% improvement in performance and in a lot of software, there has even been regression compared to the generation released 2 years ago!Review automatically translated
