    Amazing and Hot

    It's amazing... but amazingly hot as well. It does everything I need flawlessly. The only issue I have is 3D rendering. It hits 100 degrees Celsius and bottlenecks. Fortunately, that is with in the specs and my motherboard handles it exactly as it's supposed to. I lowered the temp limit even lower just to be safe. My watercooler just cant keep up with it when rendering, but it handles everything else flawlessly.

    Upgraded from a i7-13700f with no regrets. This thing handles everything I throw at it in the background without my CPU intense games making a budge. The i7-13700f was ok but bottlenecking during gameplay for all the tasks I run on my pc. Also the i9 upgraded with ease, literally plug and play in my experience however you may need a BIOS update depending on your motherboard.

    Not the tippy top of fastest of the 13th gens but compared to the 12th gen, The 15 to 20% performance gains are accurate. They might even be a little better than that. Even versus a 12900K, this is a great CPU to upgrade to. Especially in CPU heavy games or 1080p resolution you will probably notice a large difference if you upgrade from a previous generation.

    Great product. Get what you pay for. Best CPU on the market right now in my opinion. I paired this eith Alphacool cooling solutions and my temps are amazing under load. Unrelated but paired it with a AIO water block from the same company for my my 3090 and I get all the frames in most applications. VR works flawless with my minimual Rift S. Love this product and I definitely recommend!

    I had to buy and build a PC with custom configurations. This is the best choice to build the PC with minimal intervention. The GG squad helped in finalizing the specs. Though it was delayed by few days during the thanksgiving holidays, BestBuy provided the best option.

    SP score of 112! KS Territory. Idle temps are 28C, 75C full load. While gaming on Strix RTX 4090 OC at 4K/144Hz CPU temps never exceed 50's. Mine is built in a NZXT H5 Flow case with Noctua NH-D15 Air Cooler, with 5 Noctua IPPC Fans. No problems whatsoever! I love it!

    What a monster. I’m coming from a 10th Gen i9, and this thing leaves it in the dust. And with a one-click overclock with Intel’s XTU software it really comes alive. I wasn’t expecting such a significant increase in performance. I would recommend a 360mm AIO cooler though.

    Upgraded from a 12900k to this beast. I mainly use my my pc for gaming, and having this paired with my 4090 has been an amazing experience. Have ran a few stress tests on this and rarely see temps above 80c(when running cpu intensive tests). Luckily it can be used on 12 gen motherboards. Updated bios for my asus z690 hero and popped the cpu in. Highly recommended.

    What Can I say, Best gaming processor out there. Upgraded old Processor which was an I7 8700K. I also had to upgrade my motherboard, as my old motherboard wasn't compatible with this Processor. I'm really impressed with my system now.
