Very good CPU - fast and great for gaming. My only gripe is it runs incredibly hot out of the box at default settings. I've found myself having to undervolt this just to maintain temperatures in some demanding game titles. No issues with crashing or BSOD's like other users have noted with 13th and 14th gen Intel CPU's, but may require some tinkering to get perfect. Using with water loop and 360mm radiator running on balanced/extreme depending on usage.

Beast of a processor... very fast!

Perfect gaming beast at a reasonable price concidering the current climate. Runs alittle hot but that's by design these days

It was easy to install, there is some potential of overclocking. Try to get it on promotion.

Im glad to buy this rather than 12900k. Working very well under heavy load. Great for programming so far.

Fantastic pice of art. Happy with the product

This has absolutely changed my life. I went from a 7th gen CPU, with a 1060 and 60Hz monitors and not being able to upgrade my PC for 5 years due to the cost being impossible. I finally saved up enough to do everything at once and now use this beauty alongside a 3060 Ti, ROG Strix 790 and two gorgeous 240Hz monitors. My games load before everyone else and I can have 4 spreadsheets open, discord, games downloading, browser, and run hunt showdown without a single peep from the fans. In love!!! So happy to have been able to save for this one!!!

Amazing power works well with my z690 board
