I have been using this CPU for few weeks now, and I am EXTREMELY happy with its performance and its self control on loading operations that's needed or unneeded! This CPU is currently been built with my SFF PC with a Cryorig C7 Cu CPU Cooler (mind you that this is a 47mm CPU Cooler compare to a Water Cooling AIO or tall Air Coolers), and the temperatures and Core Clock speeds are very controlled in every scenario of gaming or productivity I throw at it. When I game, the temperatures averaged in high 60s BUT the Core Clock speeds wasn't used that much, and is very well-maintained on how much it's needed to play games. I cannot find any difference to my i9-9900K at all in terms of performance with my RTX 2080 Ti and 32GB of RAM, but the i9-9900K will require a beefier cooling since you do have to try and maintain the temperatures as it'll reach as high as the Turbo Speed (or manual overclocking you set to) AT ALL TIMES where as the i9-9900 will control on its own to regulate proper temperature and Core Clock speeds AT MOST depending on nearly any kind of CPU Cooler you use also the working application. In the end, I'm still happy with the CPU for my On-The-Go SFF PC build, no need to tweak around and it's all ready to game or work on. Although, just wish the price was a bit less than what it currently is since it's obvious that you cannot control the Core Clock speeds and voltages, but really in competition with other today's CPUs.
