**A New Era of Gaming PCs: First Impressions with AMD Ryzen 7000 Series**

I have to say that's pretty good, uh although there are a couple of things that we need to bear in mind. Like I mentioned before, the 5600X is running in an Alienware, which means you don't really have any control over the CPU - it's just running in Alienware mode. Although it does boost to 4.65 gigahertz and has a max power draw of about 75 watts, which is decent for a 5600X.

The other thing that you need to bear in mind is that the GPU was a bottleneck in a bunch of these situations, so a faster graphics card may lead to a bigger gap. Having said that, a lot of the games that had a margin of error result in the CPU utilization being surprisingly similar. Some of the results showed that the 12400F was just solidly doing better than the 5600X, which is a much more expensive CPU. I wasn't really expecting that.

Despite these very impressive performance numbers, it's still a new CPU on a new platform, which means there are some growing pains to consider. Growing pain number one is motherboard pricing - even surprisingly, loser-looking B660 motherboards are more expensive than you'd imagine. That does take away from the value proposition of the CPUs somewhat. Considering how long AM4 has been around, you can get a solid budget AM4 motherboard for like a handful of pocket change and a couple of topics, whereas you'd need some premium topics to get even a budget Intel board for this new platform.

However, availability is pretty good - you can get even budget motherboards in stock. And the availability for the CPUs is really good - you can already find 12th gen CPUs on sale, which is like Intel - I don't think you know what year we're living in! You're clearly confused if you're selling a product below MSRP.

But despite these growing pains, I'm feeling really hopeful for the up-and-coming Intel GPU launch. If they carry over that same mentality, it'll go a long way to help me forgive them for all the terrible things they've done to us in the past - like quad-core CPUs. Anyway, the final growing pain that I want to mention is very difficult to find a cooler that's willing to sit on an LGA 1700 CPU, especially when it comes to air coolers.

The problem is quite weird because you'll go on Amazon product page for a cooler and see listed compatibility for LGA 1700 - and then you buy the cooler and get it, and then realize that the actual mounting hardware didn't come in the box. Which means that it's not compatible out of the box, and then you have to order the hardware from the manufacturer.

However, Asus does have a solution to this problem - some of their motherboards have both LGA 1700 and L1200 mounting holes drilled in, which is a really awesome feature. I love when they do that. Although that's only happens when you buy like a Strix board or whatever. If you buy like a normal Prime B660 board, they only have the LGA 1700 holes in there, so yeah, that's a bit inconvenient for the budget buyer.

In conclusion, it's good - it's solid - uh teething problems, but good nonetheless. If only graphics cards were affordable to the point where we didn't have to rob ATMs anymore to be able to buy a graphics card, it would actually be a pretty good time to buy a gaming PC at the moment.

But unfortunately, that's not the case yet. Hopefully Intel just floods the market with GPUs and that helps stabilize prices and stuff - that'll be really awesome. It's not the case yet, but who knows? Fingers crossed let's hope it gets better. But yeah, with that...

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enfor today's video i'm going to do a relatively budget focused gaming build with this at its core which is the intel i5 12 400 f and i can't wait to unsheath the cpu and put it to work but before we get into the build a word from today's video sponsor today's video is sponsored by lenode a company that's been awarded by me is having the best name to save just give it a try it feels good doesn't it lenode is a linux based cloud computing and web hosting service that offers multiple products to manage cloud storage websites databases game servers kubernetes and they can even handle whatever computational load you can imagine and regardless of what service you decide to go with you will get access to award-winning customer support if all of this sounds good to you sign up to lenode using the link in my description below to get a 60-day hundred dollar free credit thank you lenode for sponsoring today's video so oh yeah that is the business right there and this is actually one of the main reasons why i specifically went with the 12400f is because it came with the new intel stock cooler so it's like a whole plastic shroud that goes around it and you can see that only this bit is actually heatsink which i didn't realize until now until seeing it in person that's that's madness although despite the plastic cod piece this is still a very exciting cooler because you know it's the newest member of a cpu cooler family equivalent of that family from parasite so yeah i can't wait can't wait to give this a try so fun now some of you may have noticed that in the beginning of the video i was sitting next to a be quiet case and this is definitely not a be quiet case and the reason for that is it seems like that be quiet case took a detour through the gulag while being shipped here and it sustained a bit of damage so i couldn't use it so i used this xpg defender instead which was a pretty easy case to build in the inside looks like any relatively modern case although i'm not entirely sold on the aesthetics of it from the outside it looks a bit like something that's role playing as a as a prop in game of thrones and i don't love that but it does have mesh in the front so that's that's good uh other than that let's talk a bit about the parts that we have in here i've already mentioned the intel 12 400 f that we have in here which is a 6 core 12 thread little b intel cpu ram wise we've got 16 gigs of ddr4 running at 3200 megahertz it's a hyperx kit and the motherboard is a gigabyte z690 udax ddr4 and then finally graphics card wise we have this uh well it's a bit of a meme of a graphics card but you'll see later it performs pretty well at 1080p it's a 6600 xt and it's the power color hellhole version so with that let's have a look at some benchmarks to see how this performs when it comes to gaming performance realistically the system is as much power as anybody needs you can play pretty much any game at 1080p with relatively high settings and still have a 60 plus frame rate experience and in terms of frame pacing the system was also solid even battlefield 5 running in dx12 which is usually quite prone to stutters was relatively smooth and the cpu temperatures aren't that bad i was expecting mild chemical furnace from that new intel stock cooler but that's a pretty solid result although the cpu is very gently sipping power here so that's probably most of the reason why and uh it's quite noisy it's not like banshee trapped in a bear trap shouty but it's it's it's pretty close uh under load it's it's definitely audible and in standard stock intel cooler fashion it's a really irritating frequency of wine now this performance is all well and good but we do need to compare it to something luckily i got a ryzen 5 5600x in an alienware system i recently bought so let's drop the same graphics card in there with the same memory configuration and see what's what and when it comes to that comparison that is just damn that's that's pretty good uh although there are a couple of things that we need to bear in mind like i mentioned before the 5600x is running in an alienware which means you don't really have any control over the cpu it's just running in alienware mode although it does boost to 4.65 gigahertz and had a max power draw of about 75 watts which is decent for a 5600 x and the other

don't think you know what year we're living in like selling a product below msrp like you you're clearly confused uh i'm not complaining though that is it it's amazing which makes me feel really hopeful for the up-and-coming intel gpu launch uh yeah if they carry over that same mentality that'll go a long way to help me forgive them for the terrible things that they've done to us in the past looking at you quad-core cpus but anyway the the final growing pain that i want to mention it is very difficult to find a cooler that's willing to sit on an lga 1700 cpu especially when it comes to

time to buy a gaming pc at the moment that's not the case though hopefully intel just floods the market with gpus and that helps stabilize the prices and stuff that'll be really awesome uh it's not
