    Never thought upgrading to an i9 would make such a difference for someone who does a lot of rendering in Unreal Engine 5.

    I swappped this in for a 12900k and was suprised at the FPS increase. To be fair, I’m paired with a 4090 so YMMV. No complaints at all, fast, stable, and running cool with a Corsair AIO.

    This thing is fast. Not worth upgrading from the 12th or 13th gen, but anything 11th and lower, I definitely recommend!
