Since there is no i7 7900X, I would assume that is just a string error in the bios. If CPUZ identifies it properly, then no problems.

It's probably just a typo.

 

As long as the PC works, and it detects all the cores it's supposed to have, don't worry about it.

I sold my soul for ProSupport.

According to CPU benchmark, the I7-7900X was a thing.

 

It seems near identical to the I9-7900X except the turbo frequency was 4.3 GHz instead of 4.5 GHz.

I might be experienced, but I'm human and I do make mistakes. Expand for common PC building advice, a short bio and a list of my components and other tech. I edit my messages after sending them alot, please refresh before posting your reply. Please try to be clear and specific, you'll get a better answer. Please remember to mark solutions once you have the information you need.

 

Common build advice: 1) Buy the cheapest (well reviewed) motherboard that has the features you need. Paying more typically only gets you features you won’t use. 2) only get as much RAM as you need, getting more won’t (typically) make your PC faster. 3) While I recommend getting an NVMe drive, you don’t need to splurge for an expensive drive with DRam cache, DRamless drives are fine for gamers. 4) paying for looks is fine, just don’t break the bank. 5) Tower coolers are usually good enough, unless you go top tier Intel or plan on OCing. 6) OCing is a dead meme, you probably shouldn’t bother. 7) "Bottlenecks" rarely matter and "Future-proofing" is a myth. 8) AIOs don't noticably improve performance past 240mm.

I checked many YouTube tech review

and almost all show i9 7900x detected as i7 7900x

 

and what I'm confused about is that Intel never released the i7 7900x

 

How come it detect as i7 7900x?

Post a screenshot of CPU-Z. 

 

The information in the Specification box is the model number that Intel programmed into your CPU on the assembly line.

Whatever that shows is the name and model of your CPU. That should be the same as what the BIOS is showing. The BIOS reads this information directly from the CPU. 

 

Here is what an i9-7900X shows.

i already contact intel customer service and they say

"Thanks for bearing with us. We see that you are using an engineering sample, and we suggest that you reach out to the point of purchase to check if you have received an engineering sample processor in place of a production processor. Kindly note that engineering samples are not eligible for warranty replacement. For more information, please refer to our article https://intel.ly/3UeodFJ Do write back for more assistance. We'd be glad to help."

Ya as we know i9 7900x is the first i9 processor
