Great cpu
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.After searching for a while benchmarks and YouTube videos, I went from i5 9600k to i9 9900k . Just running stock clocks .. amazing . Some games used to give me some kind of throttle but with this beast . Everything is a breeze. I know some people is going to be , oh way you didn’t go with AMD . I know the new gen from Rayzen are amazing , but is way to expensive to do that jump . I just stick with the big guns from intel , for a couple years .

2020's end game
||Posted .Owned for 3 months when reviewed.CPU utilization is well optimized, as this CPU can stream, game, and stay under 75%. In fact, I left a game open once, and had 2 games running simulataneously. Still worked fine; the only reason I knew I had 2 games open was not because of a performance hit, but instead just seeing the other game open. I run this with a Noctua NH-D15 air cooler, as I'm not a big fan of water cooling. Temps are well in line w/ this cooler. If you go w/ this cooler, make sure to get Low Profile RAM. I used 32GB of Corsair Vengeance LPX; non-LP RAM WILL NOT fit! Purchased this RAM from BBY as well!

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionGrandson into gaming requested this for Christmas, his parents sent the request to us. Grandson is 13 and does not have the knowledge to build a gaming PC himself. Is this item something that can easily be used in an existing gaming system?
Asked by Lila.
- A:Answer This part must be plugged into a compatible mother board. You must first determine what mother board is in the PC he uses to game. If his mother board is compatible you’ll only part way there. Is the power supply compatible? Will the existing cooling solution be big enough? Your best bet is to visit a local computer repair shop that sells computers. Take them the computer and if they’re a reputable shop they’ll help you upgrade the computer. If it’s possible.

Q: QuestionIf replacing a core with this one, would I have to install/buy a new version of windows ?
Asked by preorder.
- A:Answer No. No. And no. They only time you have to get a new key for windows (if your not logging into windows with a Microsoft account) is if you swap out motherboards. If you log in with a Microsoft account - the key is associated digitally to your account, so you can replace, reformat, do anything you want - as long as you log in with the same username and password.
