    Great CPU. An absolute gaming beast. If you plan on streaming this CPU is great. If you plan on just gaming, save a few bucks and get the i5.

    Works as advertised. Great CPU. The i9 is a very small performance increase for an almost 50% markup. If you’re on the fence for gaming go with this one

    Wow I can't believe the performance uplift from a 9700K. I cannot wait to get faster RAM and see how far it can really go. I'm stuck to 3000MHz right now.

    Excellent pricing in comparison with other websites. Anybody who is building a new rig have the option to buy the Intel 12000 series or the AMD 5000 series. In terms of cost for performance Intel's new Alderlake CPUs are much better. Those who can wait a bit longer can wait for more cheaper motherboard options.

    Best bang for the buck! This thing is a beast. Make sure you only buy if you plan to upgrade to Windows 11 as that is the only way use to the new scheduler.

    The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.
