    Great proc if you’re not going to overclock. I’ve played everything from Fortnite to Cyberpunk and this proc has handled everything I’ve thrown at it. I’ve also used it to edit lengthy videos with HitFilm and Premiere Pro and it’s amazing. The only problem I had was keeping it cool with the stock heatsink & fan (as was expected). I’d only recommend picking up a decent cooling system and you’re gold. I’m running it in a TUF Z590+.

    kept burning through these things, originally had bought myself seven i5’s, but mysteriously would burn through them every 10-30 minutes. bought this one after hearing about this stuff called thermal paste, and have had 0 issues! would definitely recommend!

    Probably overkill for my needs. The stock cooler that came with this wasn't sufficient to keep this within spec temps.

    This i9 Intel core works great! The processing speed is awesome. The cooler which came with the kit is much higher end than with the i5 or i7 kits I’ve purchased in the past

    This CPU is absolutely amazing! Serious processing power and stays well below 50°C with a decent 120mm AIO cooler. This is one grand cpu and is well worth every dollar! Was considering buying the unlocked one for my unlocked mobo (NZXT N7 Z590), but I’m not doing any overclocking and I don’t want it to run too hot.

    At least it draws only 65W.

    Hotter and slower than the Apple M1, M1 Pro, and M1 Max, but at least it runs Windows and has integrated graphics. At least this one only draws 65W.
