BEST INVESTMENT EVER
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is a monster! Currently overclocked to 5.2 with low 23c idle temps. While gaming it stays below 60c. I run warzone maxed out while having 6-9 tabs of chrome open to include spotify playing music. In the background ill have discord for communications. I wont have to upgrade this for years. I highly recommend to gamers or power users.

Great cpu
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After searching for a while benchmarks and YouTube videos, I went from i5 9600k to i9 9900k . Just running stock clocks .. amazing . Some games used to give me some kind of throttle but with this beast . Everything is a breeze. I know some people is going to be , oh way you didn’t go with AMD . I know the new gen from Rayzen are amazing , but is way to expensive to do that jump . I just stick with the big guns from intel , for a couple years .

2020's end game
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.CPU utilization is well optimized, as this CPU can stream, game, and stay under 75%. In fact, I left a game open once, and had 2 games running simulataneously. Still worked fine; the only reason I knew I had 2 games open was not because of a performance hit, but instead just seeing the other game open. I run this with a Noctua NH-D15 air cooler, as I'm not a big fan of water cooling. Temps are well in line w/ this cooler. If you go w/ this cooler, make sure to get Low Profile RAM. I used 32GB of Corsair Vengeance LPX; non-LP RAM WILL NOT fit! Purchased this RAM from BBY as well!

I9 vs Girlfriend comparison
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Is it hot? Yes, the I9 and a girlfriend are hot. Does it make you poor? Yes, the I9 and a girlfriend will make me broke. Compatibility? I9 is LGA1151 compatible but a girlfriend is dependent on horoscope. Over clock? I can over clock the i9 but not a girlfriend. Resale value? I9 is good for resale value. Releasing a girlfriend is illegal to sell. Performance? I9 is excellent but a girlfriend can only be tested after marriage. 9/10 would recommend an i9 3/10 would recommend a girlfriend

Amazing CPU - water cool it tho!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded from the I7-7600k to this beast, and WOW. I have it over clocked to 5.3GHz with the thermaltake Floe Dx premium AIO and it is blazingly fast. Windows starts up before I can get seated, apps open and run seamlessly. If you're of waiting for the next gen of Intel CPUs - don't. Get this one, excellent price, 8 cores, 16 threads, hyperthreading, everything you need to blow the competition away while gaming and then log off and do some Adobe Photoshop.

Drop in easy
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First time in 10yrs i rebuilt my system instead of buying prebuilt but felt it was time to give it a try. I had already purchased from BB the MSI MPG z390 Gaming Edge AC motherboard so was just waiting for price to be right to buy the I9-9900k. BB had a great price, better by a few bucks than some big online shop and I had a good BB gift card and club points, so all in all got it for 361 + tax!! top of the line for that cost out of pocket. So ask for BB gift cards for xmas haha. The install was drop and go, easy, fit properly in the slot, close the clamp, attach the cooler. Presto all done. I had no issues with it and used the MSI easy game mode over clocker to boast power as needed.

Crazy Fast Processor
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Want your computer to work almost as fast as your brain? You need this processor, backed up with a good motherboard and memory your pc will run faster than you. Install on new build was straight forward, used a water cooling heat sink on this build and it runs perfect. I have not tried to overclock it at all, I see no need at this point.

Beast of a professor even in mid 2021
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using this processor for a month now and I must say, this is a beast of a processor. Despite it being two generations old as of today(11th gen being latest), this processor runs anything I throw at it without breaking a sweat. Pros: - runs cool - easy to overclock - smooths out frame pacing with it's 8 core 16 threads - runs any game without any hiccups - excellent for high FPS gaming, currently using a 1440p/144hz Cons: - none Managed to get this on sale for less than $320. Recommend this processor even in 2021. Haven't found a single game that it has struggled with yet and I play a ton of games. Runs everything I throw at it smoothly and has actually improved my frame pacing and no longer experience studdering. Coming from a 9600K. Very happy with purchase and recommend it especially if you can get it on sale. You won't be disappointed and cheapest upgrade if you aren't willing to purchase a new motherboard for newer processors.

Best CPU
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the most powerful CPU on the market and it performs amazingly! It's a bit pricey but if you want the best it's well worth the price. Make sure you buy a beefy cooler though!

Great deal.
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think for the price point of this CPU vs the performance is an awesome deal right now I got this as a build when prices came down for a new system that didn't need to be on the bleeding edge. It has been working great with no issues with a mild overclock. Keeps up with my i9-10900k without trying all that hard. Great for anyone looking to build a new system on a tight budget while wanting to still have enough power to get some gaming in.
