Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’m pretty happy with my new upgrade. Windows is running super fast by using the game boot mode. Got it over clocked to 5.20 gigahertz with out any heating problems. Temp is staying around 36 to 24 when idle. I’m very happy with it. I totally recommend this CPU.

The product itself is great, kiddo finished building his pc and was very happy. Best buys delivery date was wrong by about 2.5 weeks.

I had read a bunch of reviews saying this guy gets hot and it may be the case if its not cooling rite.... i use a 120x2 all in one cooler/radiator and asus ai overclocking and keep it consistently 30-40c running at 4.8-5.0mhz.... great processor buddy even picked on up and he loves it too.

Of course the Core i9 would be a great processor. However, with the new R0 stepping, I wish I would have waited. Other than that it performs like a dream!

8 cores 16 threads. Does exactly what it says. It’s a good workhorse and I am able to run multiple tasks and game at the same time on my z390e motherboard. I highly recommend this processor to keep up with games and applications so far.

Great cpu and runs fast can take anything thrown at it. It does get a little hot now and then so get a great cooler with it.

So I upgraded from a 8th gen 8700 non k and straight out the box is a beast, you could tell the diffrent. The cpu has handle anything that I have throw at it. When is overclocked it become a monster! Highly recommended!!

Great processor, I rarely used its maximum capacity, I was disappointed to read Intel's policy on the warranty and know that even though I am a processor in the "K" line, I cannot overclock the processor or memories, otherwise I will lose the warranty. which seems very strange, because I paid a higher price for being an unlocked product for overclocking, and so intel announces it, in this case it is not worth picking up with the "K" line. I found this very stupid on the part of intel, because they themselves developed the chips that allow overclocking of ram memory, but if I use I lose the warranty of the processor, you can use memories with frequency of only 2133Hz or you can say goodbye to your warranty the same as having a ferrari with a popular car engine, it has power but cannot be used, I really hope that Intel changes its warranty policy.

No issues with product. Works as intended. Unfortunately the price is too high to be a good value.

Overkill for gaming alone. Streaming to Twitch makes use of extra power. 9700k will clock higher

Literally too much for a PC. This is completely unnecessary but I love it. Be it barely uses 30% of its usage when you doing everything including of work station and gaming. Thus purchase I've made to upgrade my PC.

Amazing cpu Best bang for the bucks. For audio work, I think this is a good balance between core speed and count When you pair with good cpu cooler and good case, you can make a powerful silent pc

Great processor still expensive compared to AMD offerings but non the less a great product.

Recieved it within 2 weeks well packed nice packaging, works excellent. Easy assemble, price is high could be more reasonable but the quality of the product is 5/5. So far so good no complaints.

If you intend on getting this processor, I highly recommend buying a liquid cooling solution to keep this at minimal temp. It runs extremely hot at normal frequency. It has power!

I play fortnite, and this boosted my FPS and works GREAT! The i9 9900K is great because I can stream off of it too! 5 stars all the way!

Works great, even with a power/value ratio not as favorable as the new Ryzen 3900, I would still go this route. Note, at stock configs, your boat frequency will only ever hit 4.68 though.

idk what the fuss what about with this card if you do the HR and look at the bench marks this card holds with the best of those 2,000 CPU chips this is a must buy

Packaging is cool, but it's hard to open. I was afraid that I would break the CPU when I was trying to open the package.

I am have some trouble overclocking to 5.0ghz but other than that it’s awesome
