Q: What temps do you get while gaming?

A: This will depend on your cooling and case setup. With a front/side mounted AIO (280/360) expect to see temps in the mid 50s while gaming. Games that utilize more cores may result in higher temps. Chip quality will also vary. I would not recommend anything less than a DeepCool AK620, Dark Rock Pro 4 or NH D15 air cooler (capable of handling up to 250w) if you are going with air cooling.

Q: I'm planning on picking up one of these to go with my kracken 360 elite. Is that a suitable cooler for this top tier cpu? I assume my z790 edge ti max wifi can support the 13900k or will I have to do stuff with bios? (currently running a 12700k)

A: Greetings from the Intel team. Thank you for your question. Even though the Kraken Elite 360 is compatible with the processor socket, reaching the manufacturer to ensure that the Kraken Elite 360 meets or exceeds the TDP recommendation for the Intel® Core™ i9-13900K processor is recommended. The TDP for Intel Processors of the 12th generation (and higher generation) is called Processor Base Power and can be located under CPU Specifications. Intel® 600 Series and Intel® 700 Series chipset-based motherboards require a BIOS update to boot the Intel® Core™ desktop processors (13th and 14th gen). Intel® recommends updating the BIOS on systems for compatibility before updating your Intel® Core™ desktop processors. Intel® 600 Series and Intel® 700 Series may require a BIOS update when upgrading between Intel® Core™ Desktop Processors 12th, 13th, or 14th gen. For additional information, visit: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000092294/processors.html Based on the motherboard CPU compatibility list, the Intel® Core™ i9-13900K processor is supported starting with the Bios version 7E25v10, for detailed information, check: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MPG-Z790-EDGE-TI-MAX-WIFI/support#cpu For information about the Intel® Core™ i9-13900K processor, visit: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/230496/intel-core-i9-13900k-processor-36m-cache-up-to-5-80-ghz.html Thank you for choosing Intel!

Q: Does this include the Intel Laminar RH1 Cooler fan?

A: No fan Is included It's flagship processor. So they expect you to buy an aftermarket cooler. It's a very great processor though!

Q: I have one of the 13th gen cpu's that I bought last year. I have read that Intel is issuing returns. I am having the problems with my chip that have been reported. What can i do to get this problem resolved?

A: Greetings from the Intel team. Thank you for your question. Not all processors are affected by the Vmin Shift Instability issues. Intel is investigating options to identify affected processors on end-user systems. Customers experiencing instability symptoms on 13th and 14th Generation desktop processors should contact their system manufacturer, or in the case of an Intel Boxed Processor, contact Intel Customer Support. Ensure that the latest BIOS from your system or board manufacturer is being used. Contact your system or motherboard manufacturer for BIOS updates. Intel is offering a two-year extended warranty for the 13th and 14th gen Intel Desktop processors listed below: i9-13900KS i9-14900KS i9-13900K i9-14900K i9-13900KF i9-14900KF i9-13900F i9-14900F i9-13900 i9-14900 i7-13700K i7-14700K i7-13700KF i7-14700KF i7-13790F i7-14790F i7-13700F i7-14700F i7-13700 i7-14700 i5-13600K i5-14600K i5-13600KF i5-14600KF For Intel boxed processors presenting instability, contact Intel Customer Support: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/contact-us.html#support-intel-products_873:873 Warranty Guide for Intel® Processors: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005494/processors.html Thank you for choosing Intel!

Q: Is this the max Dell Approved CPU for the Precision 3660 Tower? I'm pretty sure it is. Just checking before I drop the cash.

A: Yes it is, But make sure power supply can handle it, plus you need a sufficient cooling device for it.

Q: I was just wondering if this cpu is a good pair to the rtx 4070

A: Is the i9-13900k processor good with the 4070 super
