Thirty-two cores at 5.3GHz — sixty-four threads that still respond like a desktop.
Quick Specs
- 32 cores / 64 threads, 4.0GHz base, up to 5.3GHz boost
- 160MB total cache (32MB L2 + 128MB L3)
- 350W TDP, sTR5 socket, quad-channel DDR5-5200 with ECC
- PCIe 5.0, 92 lanes total (88 usable)
- No cooler included
Scale without the sluggishness
Many-core processors usually trade away clock speed, and interactive work suffers for it. The 7970X doesn't make that trade: sixty-four threads for renders, simulations, compiles and encoding, and a 5.3GHz boost that keeps viewport navigation, scrubbing and UI work sharp. Combined with quad-channel ECC memory and 88 usable PCIe 5.0 lanes, it's the configuration that lets a single machine run several GPUs and a large NVMe array without contention.
Where the money actually goes
This is a serious professional purchase and the platform around it matters as much as the chip — TRX50 board, four DDR5 modules, sTR5-specific cooling for 350W, and a power supply sized accordingly. Nothing is bundled. If your work doesn't reliably saturate thirty-two cores, the 7960X does the same job with a quarter fewer cores for considerably less, and a Ryzen 9 9950X covers most freelance workloads for a fraction of the total build cost.
FEATURES:
- 32C/64T with a 5.3GHz boost
- 128MB L3 cache
- Quad-channel DDR5-5200 with ECC enabled by default
- 88 usable PCIe 5.0 lanes
- Fully unlocked for overclocking

WHAT'S IN THE BOX:
- AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7970X processor
- Documentation
- Cooler sold separately — sTR5-compatible cooling required
Why AMD?
Holding a 5.3GHz boost across thirty-two cores is why Threadripper feels like a desktop rather than a render node. Every AMD processor from AZonline is genuine boxed stock carrying a 3 Year warranty.

Questions
Before you buy
Which motherboards will this CPU fit?
It uses the sTR5 socket, so it needs a motherboard with a matching socket. Sockets are not cross-compatible - a chip will not physically fit a board built for a different one. Every motherboard we list shows its socket on the Specifications tab, and it is worth checking the board maker’s support list for a BIOS update if the board is from an earlier generation than the chip.
How many cores and threads does it have?
32 cores and 64 threads. Cores do the work; threads are the number of jobs the chip can keep in flight at once. Games lean on a handful of fast cores, while rendering, compiling and video export scale with the total count.
What sort of cooler does it need?
It is rated at 350W TDP, which is the heat a cooler has to carry away under sustained load. Match or beat that figure with the cooler you choose, and check the What’s in the box list above - some processors ship with a cooler, some do not. Our PC Builder only offers coolers that fit the socket you have picked.
Is it in stock, and when will it ship?
This one is out of stock at the moment. Stock does come back in - WhatsApp us on 079 491 0181 with the model and we will tell you what the supplier is showing and let you know when it lands, rather than leaving you to keep checking the page.
What does delivery cost, and how long does it take?
We deliver by courier anywhere in South Africa, and delivery is R180 on orders under R2 500 and free on orders of R2 500 or more. It takes 1-3 working days to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and areas within 100km of them, and 2-4 working days to areas more than 100km from a major centre, counted from the day the order is dispatched. Need it sooner? Express delivery is 1-2 working days for R210, or R150 on orders of R2 500 or more - choose it at checkout. We do not ship outside South Africa.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered?
Yes. Collection is from 11 Voortrekker Avenue, Edenvale, Gauteng, by arrangement - message us first so we can have the order picked and waiting. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday.
What warranty does it carry, and how do I claim?
The warranty period for this product is listed at the end of the Specifications section above. Claims go through us, not the manufacturer - contact us with your order number and a description of the fault and we will handle it from there. Separately from any warranty, the Consumer Protection Act gives you six months from delivery to return goods that are defective, unsafe or not fit for their intended purpose.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind - longer than the seven days the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act requires. The item needs to be unused and in its original packaging, and we pay the return shipping. Refunds go back to the payment method you used, within 30 days of the return reaching us.
How can I pay?
Payments are processed by Stitch. At the last step of checkout you are taken to Stitch’s secure page to pay, and brought back here once it is done. Your card details are entered on Stitch’s secure, PCI-compliant page and never touch our systems.
