I havent done anything that would require the full potential for the i9 but for what I have been using it for its kept very cool temps and overall performs amazing. I hope in the future ill be able to use it to the maximum potential.

This CPU handles everything you throw at it just make sure you get a decent cooler and or under volt the CPU if you plan on using it for any CPU heavy loads as the high-power consumption equals high heat.

Great chip with plenty of power. They say it runs hot but my arctic freezer ii 280 keeps it idling in the 27c area and gaming in the 40c to 55c area.

Great features, a big upgrade over the previous generation. 13th gen is a little better but not as much of a jump.

It’s a powerful processor. You will need a bigger CPU cooler something like the Noctua NH-D15 or the Arctic Liquid Freezer II.

Top of the line Intel performance. Requires a good cooling solution - not included (I used the Corsair iCUE H150i Elite). Came in the fancy retail box.
