Customer Ratings & Reviews

This processor is absolutely AMAZING. Coming from a 5800x, this thing wipes out anything I need and with my 4090, I just don't need to push it to its limits. It makes my life a whole lot easier with hoe much it can multitask for me and I can render everything I need in seconds! Coupled with the sale, heck yeah! I don't want to spend another $200 for the 13900k when my main usage is graphics.

Thing is a absolute monster. Does anything i throw at it with ease. Does run hot but its a great CPU

What can I say best Intel CPU so far. Just be careful it runs hot so make sure you have a really good CPU cooler.

excellent product, everything works fine, even the quality of the product keeps on good conditions

After a few months of testing the item, i recommend it. There was a recent article about adding rubber washers between the motherboard and ILM so that there wouldn't be as much pressure on the lid itself, reducing up to 5C. I haven't had any complains about this processor and does everything i need in terms of content creativity and gaming.

Absolute beast. Power hungry and runs really hot, so plan for it.

I love this cpu still killing it, and making coding run smooth and gaming smooth

Great product. I built computer for gaming and this processor has been great at handling whatever I play on my computer. I have found the thermals to be excellent and heat mangement has been easy to manage. I used and built many computers with Intel processors and this is one of the best.

Love this CPU. Purchased a while after release for a great price and bundled this with a cash back offer from Chase to maximize my savings. The integrated graphics is great as well and allows me to play emulated N64 games easily without the need for my external graphics card.

Quick Shipping. Works as intended. Great Price since bought on sale. Purchased from Best Buy due to ensure authentic parts.

This CPU has been a great processor I would recommend to people that want a high end but cheap CPU.

Still a really good CPU up until this day! For the normal user, keeping it at stock speed is more than enough. If you overclock it slightly, you will feel even better performance. This build is mainly intended for Video Editing and occasional gaming.

It was a good Intel CPU for the generation. Never had any issues with the hardware or performance.

My son is building his own gaming computer. Was looking at the I7 13th generation. I thought it was over price. Decide to look at what the i9 12th gen were priced. Glad I did. Best Buy periodically runs this on special and I got it for less than the i7. What a deal.

Powerfull chip. Never seen my computer run so fast

Blazing Fast Processor!! Just make sure you get a good cooler for it cause it runs hot!!

Excellent choice for powerful gaming machine. Install easily, booted first try, over-clocks easily. note LGA1700 requires different standoffs for use with Corsair coolers. (readily available from Corsair) Matched with Asus Z690-E Strix M/B, EVGA RTX 3080ti, Corsair H115i cooler, 32GB Corsair Dominator DDR5-5600 DRAM.

My son needed this for his gaming computer! Easy to install and was perfect for what he needed it for. He’s back up and running!

He was upgrading from a i7-9400f to this processor. His temps stayed maxed out. He said the processor made a world of difference. Max rates, perfect temps, and processing intense fames at between 55 & 60%. The processor is definitely worth it.

Paired with a Lian Li Gallardo 360 AIO. Streesed tested for a few hours without any issues. Don't cheap out on cooling as this processor can run hot. Idles around upper 20Cs-low 30s, and 80s under extreme load in my setup. If going the air-cooled route, go with something like a Noctua U12a or better.
