    This thing runs super hot. Make sure you have good liquid cooling set up. Not much of a performance gain over a 10700k, single digit increases

      Greetings from the Intel team. Thank you for your review.

      K processors do not include any heatsink or thermal paste in the package, therefore, require a cooling solution (air or liquid cooling).

      Ensure that the thermal solution used is compatible and correct for the specific CPU; the thermal solution must be equal to or higher than the Processor Base Power-based.

      How to Choose Thermal Solutions for Intel® Core™ Boxed Desktop Processor:

      https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000038285/processors/intel-core-processors.html

      What you need to know when choosing between liquid cooling and air cooling:

      https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/gaming/resources/cpu-cooler-liquid-cooling-vs-air-cooling.html?wapkw=liquid%20cooling%20design%20guide

      About performance, here is how to use Intel® CPU optimization tools to get the most out of your hardware:

      https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/gaming/resources/cpu-optimizer.html

      Ensuring that the system is correctly cooled and not bottlenecked (a component that limits the potential of other hardware due to differences in the hardware's maximum capabilities) are two more great ways to ensure you are getting the most out of your PC.
