Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the Core i7-9700K's gaming prowess, price-to-performance ratio, and easy installation. They appreciate its multitasking capabilities, powerful performance, and cooler temperatures compared to other processors. While some find it expensive, others point out that it lacks hyper-threading and is a generation or two behind.

    Fine processor, but now obsolete

    10th Generation Comet Lake CPUs are now imminent, and with it a new socket, LGA 1200 that will not be backwards compatible with 9th generation CPUs like the i7-9700K. AMD has been much better about keeping their CPU's compatible with their supporting motherboards by minimizing disruptive socket changes despite frequent CPU updates. If you are in the market for a new CPU, I would wait until the Comet Lake CPUs become widely available along with the supporting motherboards. Then weigh the advantages and drawbacks of Intel and AMD. If you play mostly older games, as I do, it's not that large an issue ATM, but once the next generation consoles arrive for the 2020 Xmas shopping season, the picture may change significantly. I'll conditionally recommend this CPU, but after the Comet Lake 10th generation arrive the point is moot.

    Pretty good CPU all around. I can play games at a decent Frame rate while still doing cpu intensive tasks. It handles thermals well but it may be because of a aftermarket cooler and not the one they give you.
