Great CPU and Im now GPU bound


-Amazing performance in gaming -Great Power Efficiency -Great Value


Destroys everything I throw at it. Paired with a 5090 this beast is unstoppable. 16 cores 32 threads shreads all Really good cpu.

FAST, and just as high performing as AMD at 4k/Ultra which is why you would buy this CPU, that and productivity apps. A little more cost effective than AMD equivalents. SLEEPER PERFORMER: influencers and enthusiasts have claimed bad performance, but it's not true when properly tuned. RAM of 8800+ MT's speeds are easily achievable/stable.

-runs cool for a cpu with a 16 cores (170 watt tdp) -Awesome gaming performance (Best gaming cpu) -Awesome productivity performance (Best productivity performance, other than "Threadrippers"

-Works great! Super smooth operation and easy to install as usual -packaging was great, service was awesome

24 cores at this price in unreal. The other guys give you 6 and 8 cores for this price lol. Boots fast, and breezes through everything I throw at it without a hitch. Gaming and multi tasking are a dream. CPU runs very cool despite being a multicore beast. Compatible with my older AIO, no need for any adapters, just worked. New Intel APO and IBT features are cool, but hope they support them long term. Overclocks really, really well. I am running at E cores at 5.1Ghz, P cores at 5.6Ghz and D2D at 4.0Ghz, Cache at 4.1GHz, and NGU at 3.4Ghz. These are well above stock, and it has zero issues. Tuned my DRAM to 8667 CL38 and get huge bandwidth and low latency now.

I am cooling it with Be Quite! Dark Rock Pro 4

Multi-core Affordable Comes with heatsink

This review is from a senior citizen builder who had not built a computer since 8 years ago! I was reading some of the reviews after I built this unit and was interested in finding a way to load this chip up since normal computer use was using minimum core usage. I found Cinebench R23.200, a video rendering CPU tester with ratings listed compared to other chips after your test is complete. Cinebench was not immediately easy as a download since it needed to be extracted and a ddl file was necessary to open in order to open it properly. A bit after that it was smooth sailing. The result is listed above in the photo. The test loads the temperature parameters to the max so you better have excellent water cooling with a 3 fans radiator. The CPU percentage ran at 100% for the first 5 minutes of the ten minute test, then it would throttle a bit. The first time I ran it, I stopped it after the time limit stopped but it was still running and exited the program, so I never got a number although it listed in 1st place. The second time I let it run after the timer stopped for about a couple minutes and it finished on it's own and gave be the above number confirming what I thought happened the first test. I stopped gaming after Beyond Earth stopped working in windows 10 along with all my Microsoft Flight programs. Planned obsolescence !

Upgrade from Intel 9700k system, easy to install and memory automatically configured to correct speed.

a bit snappier than the older ryzen 7 5700x i had.

1. Fast!!!. 2. Runs ice cold compared to other Gen's 3. Good price. 4. Comes with Sick stock cooler But i still put 240mm AIO

Fit like a glove into ASRock B450M/AC R2.0 AM4 AMD Promontory B450 SATA 6Gb/s Micro ATX AMD Motherboard Performs well - comes with some heat trasfer ... very quite fan ..

I know there have been some recent issues with the voltage on the i7 and i9 14th gen CPUs but I haven't had an issue yet (knock on wood). I am also not overclocking it and updated the BIOS as soon as the update was available. Gaming is secondary to work for my teaching computer science.

- Great performance - Low TDP - Backwards compatible with older cooling solutions - 12 cores - I am using an AM5 Asus board and was upgrading; I upgraded the BIOS to make sure I had the latest greatest, took out the old processor and put in the new one. Simple. - It's rock solid and just works. Plain and simple.

Better than the i9-9900k Performance is insane Fast render times and great frame rate Cool even with overclocks Overclocks well

Performance is as expected, probably the best workstation-class CPU on desktop right now. With a bit curve optimizer tuning, can do 45k score in Cinebench R23 and 15k score in Time Spy Extreme CPU benchmark with only 230W package power reported from HWInfo64. Idle power consumption sits at around 35W on desktop.
