Star citizen runs too well. Its running 100-150 frames. Depends on the scenery.

Haven’t got it to work yet. Went through several troubleshooting sessions. Replaced the mobo twice and the ram twice. So I’ve ruled out everything except this. Pro tip kids: try to buy all your parts at once and keep the mental note of your return window. That way, you can build it right away and know what is defective and can then have time to return it. You get overzealous and purchase early and wait for other parts, your return window gets smaller and you haven’t even started building yet, but could potentially run into an issue outside your return window.

Fast! Handles everything I throw at it! Works flawlessly with Linux!

Love it I use it for studio recording and it works flawlessly.

Very fast and amazing CPU, pairs nicely with my rtx 4080

Fast but temps are hitting thermal limit fairly easily with a 360 aio, may consider deliding it as the ihs doesn’t appear to be able to keep up

Bought for a friend for his Gaming Pc build. I tried to push away from intel as Ryzen on AM5 is a better value. Following purchase, Intel was outed for the whole 13/14 Gen crap. There are better options for the money.

Use to build a gaming computer. Son was very happy on Christmas.

Make sure you uodate your BIO! Intel released their statement that their CPU’s are bugged and basically said “you’re on your own”. Poor move on their part. Currently, my cpu maxes at capacity when installing anything and crashes most games. I’m running 64gb ram on a Z690 with 3080ti . Thanks Intel.

Love this cpu, I use this in my gaming pc with a rtx 3080ti. I get high frames even with having multiple apps open. Barely any frames dropped

Being extremely rare my processor came doa. I had to spend an extra few hundred dollars to diagnose it and replace it. Disappointing for a brand new processor.

Great major reviews from established techies. Good value compared to the pricier I9

I’m gonna be like that I understand why I would be

BEWARE!!!!! My i7 was defective. Completed my pc build only to find out cpu was no good and just days after it was no longer returnable. For 380$ the process of returning it for a new one should be a little easier. But did not want to help in any way.

Was fine for awhile until it burned up. If you buy this, make sure your motherboard has BIOS updated to include the 0x12B microcode *before* you slot this in

Decided on another CPU. Couldn't return it to Best Buy with the factory seal still intact in the original packaging, after only 17 days. No store credit, nothing. Just feels like a scummy business model. You can have my money this last time, but no more in the future.

My pc wont start i wonder why? Seriously i cleared my ram sticks they work in other pcs but what about my cpu? Doesnt work thanks intel thanks best buy for the terrible warrenty policy

CPU was dead out of the box. After exterme amounts of troubleshooting and replacing every other part in a brand new build, the culprit was the cpu. Ordered a replacement from amazon and it worked perfectly fine.

Unstable since day one, related to undisclosed issues with manufacturing since 2022 according to Gamer's Nexus. No word from Intel even though RMA ticket was submitted.

Defective. Since installing this CPU almost every game I try to play crashes.
