There's not a game or program I use that can bog this thing down. Amazing

I used this processor for my first PC build and after almost 2 months of usage, I have not experienced any problems whatsoever. I have not experienced thermal throttling with this CPU and I haven't had the need to overclock it.

Insane performance once overclocked. I would recommend AMD for those that do not want to overclock and just plug and play. But if you love tweaking and not afraid of a bios screen this is the chip for you. My previous cpu was an overclocked 5800x

Yep! Very small package and big punch. One of the best CPU's out there for gaming, work and so on! Be sure to get a good heatsink, I am using air cooling (Noctua) but liquid cooling would probably keep it even cooler!

My motherboard got fired, So i decidedto upgrade from an I7 to an I9 and it is well worth the upgrade not only as a student but an avid gamer

I really like it. My games are smooth and also I have enough power to use my 3-D software and digital art programs without issues. I really enjoy the speed and no applications crashing due to overload. It's awesome.

Its been a great cpu for the last 2 years. i just recently paired it with a 4090 and its been handling it well.

Very fast processor for the price. Super value and great performance.

Upgraded from 9900k -- very noticeable upgrade... The 9900k is great as is, but I was pleasantly surprised by the improvement. Great for everything. 13900k (Raptor Lake) might be another significant improvement though, so it might be worth waiting.

intel has come back with a bang. This is the best chip on the market and one you can actually get, only thing is be careful about getting a MB with DDR5 ram as you're probably not gonna be able to use it for many months until there is more available

So far so good. I just ended up upgrading my 240 AIO to a 420MM with this hot chip! 420 is an overkill and 360 would’ve worked but this kinda future proofs my AIO for a few builds.

Finally upgraded after 5 years and its a huge difference from what i had. Definitely noticing the performance gain. Worth ir if you have the extra spending.

Great processor. This processor was a big step up from the 9900k. It’s able to handle any workload I throw at it.

Worked no problems easy to install just make sure you get your own thermal paste.

I’m going to give it a 4 thing is very strange using mce 4.9/3.7 all core tops out at 88c on r23 gaming on older games right now hits around 50 to 60c seems alright buuut when I run something stupid like borderlands 3 it can go from 50 to 72c then the gigabyte profile for max performance is laughable 5.0/3.9 all core hits 100c during benchmarks when using 1.34 vcore im using the new Corsair 360 lcd soo with thermal grizzly so I would get a beefy cooler if you want to run this thing “cool”

First I9 i have, I feel the speed ehen the PC starts up. All tasks carried out so far without leaving much waiting time for task transitions. But all this with help of others components, it’s a shame not to be able to take advantage of more potential due to the memories.

Very very good cpu you can’t go wrong here it’s not top top but more preformance then you’ll ever need to play cod or any other game lol

Great cpu, mine is water cooled so temps stay around 30s and 40s.

Performance is excellent and runs whatever I throw at it easily. Price to performance was good considering it was around pandemic time frame. Does everything quickly.

What more can I say about this product! It's the top of the line CPU currently. Performs as expected with Best buy's great pricing
