    CPU runs amazing! No problems anymore with Intel chips they fixed the bugs and running great now. A lot cheaper thank the 9800x3d for more than enough to run demanding games

    Processor works as intended, no issues. I am using it in a full-size ATX tower with ample cooling. Paird with an NVIDIA RTX 4080, this can run anything I have thrown at it without issue. I was not able to overclock as much as I was hoping, but I am no expert, either.

    Great cpu, i use it for gaming. Big jump from the I9-12900k. I was told there wouldn’t be a big difference but there definitely was. It matched perfectly with the 4070ti. Some games still bottleneck it at 1080p. To be expected. I went from averaging in the 170-180s to 200+ on wz2.

    Great processor. Paired with an Z690 motherboard this thing is insanely fast. A bit more power efficient than the 13900k and alot cheaper. Very happy with my purchase and I will be set for a decent while now with this rocket of a chip.

    Great Balance

    This CPU is a great balance for gaming and cpu heavy processes. Would the i9 be better, sure hut at a higher power draw and a negligable performance increase. If you can find this on sale its a great CPU especially with the 14700k out this can be a steal.

    On Userbenchmark this is the 4th rated CPU and they were not wrong, coupled with a 3060 ti this CPU is amazing, highly recommend but if you want a even greater boost in power go for an i9 13900k if you have the money for one but this CPU by it’s self is well worth the money it costs.

    I have nothing but good things to say about this CPU, i get great quality gameplay and can have multiple applications running with no issue. I would advise going with this CPU over the i9 as the performance difference does not justify the price hike. I7 is plenty powerful for what is does.

    Good CPU for Plex/BlueIris

    I bought this CPU to consolidate my Plex Media Server and Blue Iris into One Powerful and efficient server. Both the E-Cores are amazing for background task, with P-Cores for Normal Tasks. Very energy efficient with stock speeds and turbo boost off.

    Runs quite well. Haven’t had to overclock it. It does run really hot though so just make sure you have enough cooling

    First time in almost 10yrs i've built/upgraded my computer. This seems to be doing the job I needed it to do. Not as much gaming as i used to do but handles the World of tanks/planes/ships that i do play still

    Much faster than 12700k

    This cpu has the benchmark like 25-30% better than 12700k. It kills all tasks you throw and the response time is almost 0s. This is the best choice only if you have a 4090. For 4080 and below I don't think this is needed you can just go with 13600k. 13900k is not needed for gaming.

    Really good for the price I have to recommend it. I have it paired with my 3090 and it’s my gpu that bottlenecks. I would for sure use a water cooler with this

    I7 13700k is a great CPU for gaming! For games like COD its stays around 60c but open world games it goes up to about 75c. If you have a good cooling PC with an aio you don’t ever have to worry about over heating.

    Probably the last of the good Intel processors. And it was priced right!
