Overclocking capabilities and compatibility with various operating systems are also praised.

    Works, I just don’t see the difference in performance when it comes to gaming but overall a solid buy over the 10900k (Bought it at 400$.)

    Product arrived and great. However Bestbuy did not grant the free game of marvel avengers even though it shows as participating retailer. one star dropped because of it.

    Got it on sale so it’s ok. If you’re buying new at the moment get Ryzen or wait for 12th gen

    It is a good cpu. But I am so dissappointed that it does not include the free game code for the intel promotion (Marvel avengers game). I contacted the support team too. But they are no help with the game code.

    Warranty only 15 days!!! So if you have any issues take back the cpu right away. Don't wait for replacement motherboards, psus, ect.. Don't do your due diligence in troubleshooting because you will go over your 15 days and no return for you, Then Intel won't help you out until it's been 30 days. Horrible return policy. Worked for a week, then post code 00. I replaced my motherboard, psu, only to find it is the cpu. 15 day return policy, horrible service. All other retailers offer 30 days, do not buy from here.

    It is so good omg, everything runs at the frames you want plus more, i haven't done any non gaming things so i cant speak on that but holy is it a heat guzzler. This thing is not afraid to get a little toasty so make sure you have ample airflow and cooling because it gets pretty spicy

    Basically a cheaper 10900K

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Clocks 100 Mhz lower across the board vs 10900k, miles cheaper and actually available. If you want amazing performance, and you've got a good cooler like an Arctic Liquid Freezer 280, this is a great buy. 14+++ is really showing its age though, if you can hold off wait for 11th gen.
