11th Gen is good
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.People kept telling me how the 11th gen i9 sucked. Guess what? It doesn't. Depending on your build and video card. Sure it isn't going to beat the AMD Ryzen 9 5900x, but it still can run AAA titles with no problem. Ran the benchmark using Cinebench and my build the 11th gen i9 is still up there and not close to bottom of the barrel.

Boost your entire PC Ecosystem!
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.I was skeptical of buying this CPU at first. There is a ton of negative and contradictory information on YouTube on this chip. I paired this with a Rog Maximus XIII Hero(highly recommend) and a Kraken Z53 240mm AIO(360mm would be ideal) When I first installed & overclocked, it was highly unstable while gaming. I hit peaks of 77* and throttled down to 4700 mhz. I was planning on returning it after night one. Next day with a little more time for the thermal paste to cure, I updated my bios and drivers for my MB and had fantastic results. I hit peaks of 70* while gaming, and never dropped below 5000 mhz. This chip improves performance of your entire PC. RAM and SSD benched way higher than with 10th gen. I highly recommend this for anyone who is looking for the best from intel and doesn't need more than 8 cores.

Q: QuestionWill the i9-11900k be available in stores or online only on release 3/30?
Asked by Looking4parts.
