    This CPU is overkill, runs hot and is blazing fast. I love it...

    Switched from a 5950x , the 13900k chip is surprisingly small it also made me notice how laggy moving the mouse on my prior amd cpu and it gain a lot of performance even at stock compared to my 4.9 stable 5950k which surprised me I can currently overclock this chip to 5.9 stable on aio 480 rad.

    Monster cpu. So responsive especially with the ddr5 ram upgrade. Paired with a 3090 to FE. Loving it so far! Make sure to have proper cooling cause this chip will get hot. I’m using a Corsair h150i 360mm aio to keep mine between 50-60c while gaming

    I upgraded from the 12900k to the 13900k. I recently purchased a rtx 4090 and it seemed my 12900k was holding it back. I was right. The 13900k runs alot faster than the 12900k. I get 240fps on MW2 multiplayer and 200-240 fps in Warzone in 1080p. Temps while gaming are 50-60s with a NZXT 360.

    Amazing Processor, all runs super fast and with the right heatsink is quiet. Gamers enjoy smooth and fast games. I love the performance and the price was the right one. Also I can upgrade from aa 12900k and even in the future as it uses the same motherboard as the 14900k.

    I love the i9, coming from N i7 9th gen its a huge step up in multi tasking, creating content, and gaming. BUT make sure you have adequate cooling. I have 9 fans and a corsair h150 elite lcd and it keeps it cool but even in standby it runs hotter than my i7 got under heavy loads. Invest in this and cooling.

    Super fast CPU I installed this on a total new PC built and it’s the best choice I could ever made. I recommend 100% use a triple fan liquid cooler because of the temperatures of the cpu. I combined this cpu with a 4070 for valorant Fortnite and some other games.

    Great Chip for the money! Intel's 13th Gen CPU's are great for the money (I paid $551 with Best Buy Total) and it is a BEAST! Do have a good cooler for it though, I have a Corsair H150i Elite Capellix (360mm AIO) and the chip will pull 300+ Watts! CRAZY! but it runs everything I need it to!

    The product does what it is supposed to so no complaints here. It definitely tuns circles around a i7-7700k and would highly recommend the upgrade.

    This thing is a beast! Bought for rendering large Sketchup files. My render times went from 45 minutes with a 3770k overclocked. To just 5 minutes on average. This thing will pay for itself in one project!

    Coming from an 8th gen i7 I could tell a difference immediately in some of the more CPU heavy games. Was an easy install without issues either. *BBY wants a photo now days, so enjoy the hidden processor under the water cooler*

    Super fast cpu, out of the box it runs a little hot but after some adjustments in bios its running at around 60-65 while gaming with EK nucleus 360. Game feels much more fluid.
