Ryzen 9 7900?

[Internet Swag]

My first time seeing this, didn't even know it was a thing. Googled it and it seems pretty much the same as the 7900x but with a cooler included. 

 

Will the included cooler be good enough? Weirdly interested in this CPU now and might buy it.

Yes, the included cooler is adequate. Its a 65w chip.  I have used the stock cooler with 3 builds and its alright.  If you want a more quiet cooler then aftermarket is the way to go.  The 7000 series non X CPU's are absolute monsters.

Stock cooler is enough if you wanna rock stock settings, but it might get a little noisy on full load.

 

If you wanna do some PBO and CO to get it to 7900x level performance, you can go after something like the Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE which goes for around $40 and gives really good cooling for its price.

 

But anyhow 7900 is a really good CPU for both efficiency and performance.

Here is an indepth review of the 7600 - 7700 and the 7900 non X by Hardware Unboxed.  Its quite lengthy so you could jump a bit ( timestamps on timeline )
The 7900 non X is quite the impressive package with 65w, crazy. I bought the 7700X because the non X wasn't released yet, I would have gotten the non X now.  As you say, a good contender    Maybe even the lower priced 7700 non X if you plan on gaming only.
