    DO NOT BUY, there is a litany of issues and civil suit that you can google about intel 13 and 14 gen. I will never buy Intel again after this.

    It's a CPU. Don't think I won the silicon lottery but I am using the Deep cool AK620WH if that means anything.

    • Brand response from Intel team
      Posted .

      Greetings from the Intel team. Thank you for your review.

      We understand how frustrating may be the overheating of the processor. The K processors do not include any heatsink or thermal paste in the package, therefore, require a cooling solution (air or liquid cooling).

      Ensure that the thermal solution used is compatible and correct for the specific CPU; the thermal solution must be equal to or higher than the Processor Base Power-based.

      How to Choose Thermal Solutions for Intel® Core™ Boxed Desktop Processor:

      https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000038285/processors/intel-core-processors.html

      Here’s what you need to know when choosing between liquid cooling and air cooling:

    Worked fine for the first few months now it has been determined by a tech that it's the reason why many of my programs keep crashing or don't start.

    Clearly the product was shipped with no care. CPU already had traces of thermal paste!!! It tells me that it was being used and sold as new. I proceeded with installation and CPU memory controller was a toast. I would not even work at DDR4 3200 speed. I returned the item and decided to buy this elsewhere.

    An item? In a store? Wow, the good old days. I love opening a box- and the actual item is inside of it! Real review, thing is a monster. New gen might be OTW but this is top level CPU power. Runs HOT under sudden load (70+ spikes) so get a powerful cooler or you will have it for only a few years. Ambient runs a good 35-40 with my liquid (paired with 4080 TUF)

    It’s a 13900K. It doesn’t need an explanation other than it runs flawlessly. OC options are exactly as described. No issues at all with Z790 Aorus elite ax. Absolutely love it.
