Customer Ratings & Reviews

If paired with a good cooling system, an experienced overclocker will see amazing power. Currently stable at 6.1 GHz (2 cores) and 5.7 on remaining P-cores. E-cores are modestly overclocked to 4.5.

Very fast processor. Overclock to 6 GHz easy with custom liquid cooling.

Its a beast cpu and it needs a decent cpu cooler to make it cooldown

Works great for gaming and any thing else I want to run

overclocking ability is great, far better than previous 12900ks

Easy install, beatiful speed and power. Everything runs like a dream

This thing is a screamer. I get about 41,800 on Cinebench R23. The IMC has no problem getting my 7600 DDR5 To 8000 MT’s with very tight timings at a safe voltage for daily use. I believe in at 1.48V. I’m running 5700 all p cores 4500 all e cores and 4.9 ring. I personally use a contact frame.

This processor paired with a RTX 4080 16GB is an unbelievable gaming experience. The single core performance alone on this cpu is amazing. Gaming has never been so smooth and tight.

Very fast CPU, although kind of hard to adequately cool. I’m using a Corsair 360mm AIO with upgraded Phanteks T30 fans plus Intel mounting bracket and temps still hit 95C when fully stressed and pulls over 320 W. Temps stay fine for gaming though at below 70C. Like the other reviewer had mentioned, CPU was shipped in box without protection and was moving a lot. Expected better packing for a high value component.

I love intel, works great, easy to install, not had any issues, quick response and performance, for gaming

These things were impossible to get when they launched, but Best Buy saved the day. Got to me super quick and in perfect condition!

Thought about switching to AMD processor this time around but ill wait till they get the 3D cache conpletely worked out. So far a great CPU and I've had no issues.

I have no issues to use this cpu. Assembly was easy. My gaming pc is lightning fast. I am very happy with this purchase.

Amazing performance, just need to be patience and read all necessary config to us it in my case with a MB 690 series but overall is perfect

great product, would buy again. i buy a motherboard just perfect with this and use ddr5 rams

Best processor on the market, Intel, i9, what else could you ask for?

8 performance cores 5.8Ghz all-core oc go brr. (360mm aio, 385 watts, OCCT small SSE)

Performance is good. All arounder, no matter for gaming or productivity.

I went from a I7-8700 and I am more than pleased with the upgrade.

i9 powerful and best by delivered it fast and safe
