Crazy Good Efficiency: AMD Ryzen 9 7900 CPU Benchmarks & Thermals

Sponsor: Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut thermal paste (on Amazon - https://geni.us/JMVNtOE ) & Hydronaut for water cooling (Amazon - https://geni.us/Fsray )
This review of the AMD Ryzen 9 7900 tests for efficiency first-and-foremost, as it's significantly improved over the stock R9 7900X. The thermals are also much improved and, although you could get the 7900X to the same numbers by using Eco Mode, this one is significantly cheaper by MSRP alone -- street prices obviously vary. The AMD Ryzen 9 7900 vs. 7900X benchmarks are our first comparison, with the 13700K, 13600K, and Ryzen 5 7600 standing as alternatives in our review.

Error correction (no impact on conclusion or CPU in review): The RTX 4090 chart at 15 minutes 53 seconds has a 3700X result that we've identified is incorrect. It is the only incorrect result. The result should read 235.9FPS AVG, 157.7FPS 1%, and 140.8FPS 0.1%. We identified this error when rerunning the CPU for other tests. We apologize for the error. Fortunately, there is no impact on the Ryzen 7000 CPUs being reviewed; however, we pride ourselves on correcting errors in the rare instances they happen so that the community has the right data. Thank you!
