Customer Ratings & Reviews

Upgrading from an i7 I bought back in 2016, this is surely an big upgrade to me. I was going to wait on the 11 series to come out but with how scalpers and bot problems are I decided to just get this and I'm loving it.

I've used this CPU on "stock settings" = Very very nice Cool and pretty fast. Now, have I read reviews about the heat, it gives off ? Yes, I have. I tested this CPU on 3 motherboards. Out of the 3, the TOP OF THE LINE Z490 Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme board - didn't play nice with the temps in the BIOS. But then again, the BIOS is never 110% accurate vs what apps on Windows 10 may say. So do I recommend it ? Absolutely. My recommendation would be the Asus Strix Z490 E board with this, would make a match made in Heaven :)

Better than he 11th gens IMO, got this bad boy paired with a Kraken Z73 and it maybe complete overkill but she zooms like Ricky Bobby and Cal Naughton Jr. hitting the sling-shot across the finish line.

Great CPU, but not up to par with my Ryzen processor in computing task. Great for gaming though.

Fantastic performance! On the ASUS Rog Strix Z490-E Gaming, I'm atv5.1GHz on all 10 cores at a very reasonable temp with the Corsair H150 cooler. Stable, fast and cool!

Intel's ten-core 20-thread Core i9-10900K cements itself as the fastest gaming processor on the market and comes at a reasonable price, but the extra performance comes at the cost of incredibly high power consumption.

Lots of processing power. Doesn't overclock as good as previous generation Intels, but still the fastest CPU you can get for gaming or whatever your heart desires. should be future proof for at least a decade!

A must-have for gaming PCs. 5.3ghz boost on Cores 0 and 1 (the only 2 cores that matter with regards to gaming performance) blows away anything else on the market.

Couldn't get a 5900X so I bought this. It's not like this CPU is garbage, by any means; it's just that it's been rendered completely irrelevant by the 5900X -- except that the 5900X is unobtainable at the moment. I had all the other parts in hand for my build already, and didn't feel like waiting another 6 months to get a hold of a 5900X, so I just grabbed this. Not unhappy with it as a compromise. Build is beastly, mostly for gaming.

Beast in terms of performance but overshadowed by the latest offerings from AMD, if you need an intel CPU it does have 2 additional cores compared to the 11900k but worse core performance

This CPU has been a good one for overclocking. Easily manages 5.5GHz on all cores with the memory running 4500 CL17. I have delidded it and run it bare die on chilled water.

Ten cores baby! Super fast. Great processor. Intel UHD 630 or whatever integrated graphics are decent if you dont have a GPU. You can play Terraria and WoW on 2. Only thing that deeply saddened me was Intels lack of PCIe 4.0 support. Literally can only use my 4.0 W.2 NVMe SSD as 3.0... RIP. It sucks because the 11900k is only a 8 core processor to get that support. Other than that. Amazing card.

So far the experience is great there isn’t anything particular I could bring up about it that I would dislike. So my review is still going to stay as a great purchase for my gaming rig.

Combined with current-generation hardware and solid state drives, this processor is the base of a top-class performing PC build. Highly recommend for extreme enthusiasts looking for raw speed and power!

One of the best processors I’ve ever used or upgraded to, runs my pc amazing and smooth I highly recommend getting your hands on one they are very durable but you have to be careful installing!

Upgraded from i7 6700k. Noticed a significant improvement. Very happy with purchase.

This is it folks. Ryzen may have better specs than the 10900k, but 3rd party benchmark state otherwise. This remains king and will continue to be until the 11th generation Intel CPU comes out.

Love it … Smooth fast, recommended bought 2 now i want to buy another one price is going up instead of down, you need to buy it if you get the chance yo see it available

It’s the dopest Intel processor ever... for now... up until about a few months from now... when them 11th Gen ones come out. Anyway, its great! And My PC couldn’t live without it!!

Got a top 15% bin 10900k. Couldn’t be happier. This thing is hard to keep cool though, so be sure to get a good AIO or custom loop.
