    Great cpu for the price. Doesn’t run hot if you don’t overclock. Mine runs 5066mhz ram on gear 1 which is amazingly lucky.

    nice chip, a decent jump in performance from my 8600K. i know ryzen chips are currently the better buy, but a lifetime of failure doesnt get cured in one generation of good CPU's, once AMD released a few years worth of good CPU's , THEN maybe ill switch over.

    There's no denying this is a strong processor and if you want to buy something from Intel then this or the 6 core 11600k are the way to go. But if money is a consideration. Or your power bill. Or how much you need to spend on cooling.

    Superb piece of silicon, despite what some basement dwelling youtube reviewer might tell you. Integrated graphics work well. Does run hotter than the 9th gen and some 10th gen processors. Recommend getting a good clc or air cooler.

    Works and benchmarks as expected. The Intel Extreme Tuning Utility has so many overclock and settings it's way over my head. But I am very happy with the purchase and would highly reccomend.

    Got the gamers bundle with purchase l whixh was cool. Upgraded from a 4790k. Was waiting for awhile to really feel the improvement as i only game on it. I notice an inprovement but its not that drastic as i had the 4790k OC to about 4.8ghz. I noticed inatalling games and other tasks are faster though but was expecting lightning fast speeds. Purchased on sale for $380 which was the lowest i have seen it so far.

    good for gaming, good for browsing, just about good for everything. if you do plan on using this in a desktop setup for sure get a dedicated gpu because the integrated graphics are bad.

    Can’t go wrong with an i7 if it’s in your budget for a build, unlocked series for over clocking as well is great

    Wanted to unlock PCI 4.0

    I took advantage of a deal on a Samsung 990 Pro for my M.2 slot 1 and forgot I was on a 10th Generation CPU i9-10850K. This was on a great sale and I figured the gains between PCI 4.0 and the chip itself would be worth it without having to do major system upgrades. The 11th Gen i9 equivalent seemed like overkill, so I went with this as it was the most recommended. Differences have been significant.
