    This is not as expensive as the 11900K and is available. The benchmarks have it ahead of my AMD 5800X. Now with PCIE support this is a winner. Doesn't run as hot as my 5800X and games like crazy. Get a Z590 chipset MB if you want this cpu. Even though the Z490 works and supports PCIE4 the Z590 chipset upped the benchmark scores.

    Good processor. Out of the box its already strong. I personally didn't feel a need to OC this. 125w so more heat but with good cooling and ventilation its no problem for me.

    If you're debating to get this or the I9-11900K, save yourself the extra $250 and get this instead. Same cores, same threads. Benchmarks are basically the same. I7 is overclock friendly as wel.

    So despite all the bad reviews on YouTube this cpu is working really good for me .you need a good cooling because it runs kinda hot while OC. Out of the box runs at 4.7 and again with a good cooling it wont go higher than 65. Pair with a good graphic card and Re-Sizeable BAR enable it does a great job. Only reason i will give it 4 stars is because of the price.

    Fast CPU for gamers at a decent price. Does not come with a cooler so you will need to pick one up that fits lga1200. WAs able to hit 5.3GHZ stable cooling with a corsair AIO.

    Extraordinarily fast. I paired with a 240mm aio and this cpu chews up and spits out anything I throw at it. And it’s a great value vs a Ryzen at the same dollar amount

    Had to upgrade to unlocked CPU as I didn’t want to bottleneck my next gen GPU. Pairs well, but might want something better once Intel moves on from the rusty chip debacle

    Amazing Unlocked CPU. The Asus BIOS in combination with the Intel Chip is a perfect match. LGA 1200 socket. Needs a liquid CPU cooler also. It runs hot.

    I know 12th gen is the new hotness, but I don't regret when I built or now. Good luck finding DDR5 ram and boards and get ready to pay scalper prices. If the world doesn't end from the pandemic this and DDR4 will carry you through and still be fast for anything you need, unless you're doing some weird NASA research mad scientist stuff... even then, maybe? Onboard graphics, need I say more with the GPU market the way it is? UHD 750 on my 4k 60Hz monitor is a breeze and is almost a GT1030, especially since they're using DDR4 in those now it seems.
