Frequently Asked Questions

What does WOF mean for the Ryzen 9 7900X?

WOF stands for Without Fan" — the tray/OEM version that does not include a CPU cooler. A compatible AM5 CPU cooler must be purchased separately. This version is typically sold to system builders.

Does the Ryzen 9 7900X support PCIe 5.0?

Yes — the Ryzen 9 7900X supports PCIe 5.0 for both GPU and NVMe SSD slots on compatible AM5 motherboards providing double the bandwidth of PCIe 4.0.

Is the Ryzen 9 7900X compatible with AM4 motherboards?

No — the Ryzen 9 7900X uses the AM5 socket and is not compatible with AM4 motherboards. AM5 also requires DDR5 memory.

Whether you are building a high-performance content creation workstation a gaming PC with maximum boost clocks or a multi-threaded professional desktop the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X (100-100000589WOF) delivers the 12-core Zen 4 performance PCIe 5.0 bandwidth and AMD reliability your build demands.
