    Please keep in mind, if you're plans are to utilize this cpu in a sff build; make sure you've done your reaearch. Heat dissipation of your AIO/cooling loop is vital to sufficiently cool this cpu.

    I impulse bought the 13900k day of launch. Received the CPU today OCT 25th and will say this. Coming from a 12900KS that has a all P-CORE OC of 5.3Ghz I did NOT see a Beneficial FPS increase going to the 13900K in 1440p. I am using a RTX 3090 TI. Perhaps with a 4090 you will in 1080P. So me personally I wouldn’t recommend getting a 13900K IF you OWN a 12900K or KS SKU. Otherwise, if you have 11th gen or later you can’t go wrong with this upgrade. If going with 13900K I’d suggest going with DDR5 over DDR4. It is true that ddr4 is cheaper and you won’t see a difference in gaming from DDR4 to DDR5 but your overall windows experience will feel much more snappier and quick response times. (PS: it is worth noting you WILL NEED Windows 11 to take advantage of this chip.) As a tech enthusiast who wants the top end SKU and have bragging privileges I think this will be my personal first time thinking about actually returning this CPU.

    Top notch speeds and flexibility, if you can manage the heat. This will get hot, so get a large cooler if you go with this!

    Most powerful processor for gaming, handles anything you throw at it like a champ. MW2 coming from a 12900K went up around 20-40 FPS.

    I doubt anyone running anything but a synthetic workload will ever even come close to touching all this cpu can do. Its just unreal. Make sure you can cool it though it gets very hot at medium to high loads. Z690 kingpin motherboard gave me a heck of a time with the bios update to be compatible with raptor lake. Little buyer beware there but EVGA fourums got me sorted out with an experimental bios.
