Team Blue for the win. Stable chip. Cool forbidden eggo packaging!
I updated my BIOS with a 12500T before installing this so it won't get stressed from faulty processor profiles. Only using Intel stock settings.
About 8% better than the 13900K

CPU is amazing!!! I got a contact frame to keep temps low. Paired with my RTX 4090 this things is genuinely a beast. Temps stay around 65 even under heavy loads of gaming at 4K ultra on a 4k 240hz QD-Oled monitor.

Great cpu for editing, rendering and gaming. Little pricey but if it’s within your budget it’s better than the new one

I purchased this to go along with my Asus ROG Strix Z790 Wifi-gaming motherboard. It's been running great! Check the motherboard you purchase though, as it may require bios upgrades to fix issues and compatibility.
The fact that you can decide if you want to go with a cheaper board and DDR4, or be up to date with a newer board and DDR5 is great as well!

Purchased this cpu in June of last year to ‘upgrade’ from my 12700k. It was really good for the first few months that I had this cpu for, it would breeze through the games and work I was doing at the time. Then programs had started to crash/stop working altogether. Then it couldnt even boot into windows after another momth, I tried everything, lowering the speeds, updating bios and even using new ram however none of it worked, if the cpu itself hadnt degraded overtime it would have a higher rating.

This is probably one of the most popular graphics card in the consumer segment. It has a separate fan as you can see. I’ve been using it for over a few months and I’ve had no issues with it. It’s really quite it renders pretty much anything and everything.
