It would be wonderful to win this CPU. But, my disillusionment with motherboard manufacturers gives me angst over what board I'd put it in (assuming I won 😁 ). Are there any decent motherboard manufacturers any more?

[John-Prevette]

ASUS ... seems like I have always been with them since bad experiences with MSI and I don't use Intel, just AMD.

[bobpi]

I just use AMD CPUs and GPUs also. I used to only use Gigabyte motherboards, However it looks like I will be switching to ASRock once I start going Ryzen (Socket AM4 or AM5) in whatever form. Right now I am waiting for funds and the ability to stomach Windows 10/11/?.

[Vynski]

It appears that we all have our own likes and dislikes.  I've always been MSI.  Not had any bad experiences with them at, if anything just the opposite, all good.

[ardankyaosen]

So now I have to wonder if the entry I put in a few seconds ago even counts. I think I didn't hit the Reply button and just filled in the box at the bottom of the page.  Oh, well. This one counts for sure.

[Moist]

If I win I will definitely build a rig matching the 7600X with the Live Mixer Board the look of those is pretty awesome.

[BigAl01]

I do hope to build an AM5 system in 2023.  It will likely become my main system, using a 4K 32" LG monitor.  Of course, that means I need a powerful GPU too.  And RAM.  Lots of RAM.  As Paul McCartney said, "Ram on"....

One of my favorite albums.

[LFaWolf]

What a great giveaway! I am in!

[dryden]

Awesome prize! Thank you for the chance to move toward the AM5 platform. From the reviews I've read, the 7600X is a solid 6core/12thread CPU.  Good luck all!

[neon]

It would be great to get into the socket AM5 platform and see what Ryzen 7000 can do.

[theswweet]

I just made the jump to a 7900XTX last month, and it's been a nice upgrade for my 4K system. Here's hoping I can snag one of those Cooler Master monitors when they're back in stock later this month... it'd be a nice fit for my new card!

[bgnass]

7600X very good processor.

[GreatnessRD]

So you're telling me that I didn't win the 6600 XT? 😭

That's the post! 😆

[cpurpe91]

Another great sweepstakes prize. Good luck everyone.

[jamesc359]

A friend gifted me a copy of Ori and the Will of the Wisp for Christmas. I really enjoyed playing Ori and the Blind Forest. So far Will of the Wisp seems to be more of the same magic that made the original game so great. It's a really beautiful game with solid game play mechanics.

[Axxemann]

OooooOOOOooooHHHHHhhhhh!!!!!! Me likey! 

Motherboards are still ridiculously priced though. Where are the $125USD ones we were promised?

[Axxemann]

I'm starting to wonder why my replies aren't showing up. Then I realized I might be forgetting the captcha.

[German_AC]

Well, if I win I guess it will be time to build a new AM5 pc 🙂

[darkchewie]

Nice CPU, thanks AMD!

Hope everybody had a few moments of relaxation during the holidays.  Anybody grab a few games during all of the winter sales?  Wanted to keep a smaller budget this year during the Steam sale, so I got Fallout4 GOTY and will probably grab Valheim to coop with my brother, all for about $21; both games seem like they will last me a while too.

[tekasza]

I'm still on a 2nd-generation Ryzen processor, so this would be an awesome upgrade.

[pearceej84]

Looking forward to another fun yr of amd builds and cools rigs !!! This cou would be cool for a new project !

[ThreeDee]

IF I won this .. I still don't know that I could afford to make the jump to AM5 unfortunately 🙁

But it's always cool that you guys are doing these give aways .. 😎

[DrDikimbe]

Hi guys! Thanks as always for running these. 

[umnikke8]

The Ryzen 7xxx look great. The mobile ones do get a bit confusing though, stretching from Zen 2 to 4 and monolithic or chiplet.

[johnny_cee]

another month has come.

If you missed the CES stream here it is...

[JonnyGachaGood]

Well, I'm just trying to get a better CPU, and GPU and getting them for free will be greatly appreciated, so I'll test my chances here XD!

[dj4aces]

I'm actually looking to build a new system this year. Due to some unforeseen problems with the breaker box at my old place, some of my devices and components have inexplicably died, including a 27-inch monitor. If I were to win this chip, that goes some distance towards helping me make that new system a reality.

[YourLocalRyzen777]

ryzen is pog

[Always__BORED]

Winning this sweepstakes would force me to buy a AM5 motherboard!!

Really don't want to do that.

I like the setup of my rig how it is, no changes wanted or needed.

LOL 😅🤣😁

[bobpi]

Well, If you win it, you could always gift it to me. 😋😍😁

[Khahn]

I would love to have this in my machine!

[mengelag]

Whoot Whoot! I love new processor/ GPU release time! I want all the new shiny things!!

[Subsilent00]

Awesome giveaway! Thanks, AMD! Always apply yourself and see what the outcome will be! I'm currently fixing a roof when the window of opportunities opens up, like better weather for it! That and I'm exercising even more! If I had time to play games right now, I'd like to play Total War Warhammer 3. Enjoy life everyone!

[Key-J]

Happy New Year!

[venaur]

HAPPY NEW YEAR! This is going to be an awesome year 🙂

[greydog5]

It would be great for a new build

[mapdma]

Building a system with a 7600x would be a good reason to buy a 7900xtx.  I'd have to give my 1800x to a friend.

[Jacksondorf]

Just built a mini system for my wife. with MSI Pro  B650M-A WiFi, Ryzen 5 7600XT, 2TB 980 Pro SSD, 240mm water cooler, 32 gig ram and MSI RX 6700XT.  This  baby screams.....

[rugorak]

Looking to upgrade for the wife one of these days. She'll blow my system away if she gets one of these, but my system is quite a bit newer than hers so it is all good. Her 2700 just isn't going to cut it for much
