One thing to notice, the power supply needs to be enough large. 1000w or more if overclock is used.

-Fast and furious -Gaming beast

Works great, was worried about some people saying it arrived with bent pins, but package came in very well protected and no issues whatsoever.

It can handle intense gaming and yet still does great at multicore tasks...

Arrived on time

Incredibly fast, compared to my previous i511400k from 5 years ago for the same price. This easily is 3x as fast. Great product. 0 issues so far since installation.

The 20 cores are truly amazing

- Runs fairly cool at idle, around 37-38C for me using push-pull AIO setup. - When under heavy load for bench and stress tests, I've barely exceeded 80C. - With some tweaking, was able to get it up to around 5.6Ghz OC and undervolting using PBO settings. - Doesn't even break a sweat while gaming or doing anything else.

Smooth, cool running and powerful CPU Good value at 399.00

Easy to install Good instructions Very fast

Fast Inexpensive Reliable

I was tempted to go to the dark side and try AMD for the first time. I'm glad I stuck to my guns. This thing is a beast! I saw some 5+ ghz and I haven't OC'd it. I really don't need to bump it up.


-Locked 5ghz all core at 1.125v? Done - only being 7 points shy of a 5800x in Cinebench -PBO off + 85c TJMax (im on a stock cooler) + auto clock/voltage? 10 points shy of a 5800x -Can be undervolted, or over, while good and bad it has done 99 watts @ 1.25v and 5.2ghz -Apparently a 7600x without the iGPU, either way its the one to go for to start on AM5

I was using 2700X before the upgrade. TimeSpy benchmark shows 2000 points increase on CPU scores while the temperature is decreased by 15 degree C. Gaming framerate: I played Death Stranding Director's Cut and Starcraft II. The 1% minimal fps of DSDC was raised from 45fps to 85fps. The 1% minimal fps of SC2 was raised from 55fps to 80fps. Looks like this new CPU greatly enhanced my gaming experience because of it's processing speed and the PCIe 4 communication with my GPU. The new CPU on my X570-I motherboard also allows me to add a second m.2 SSD, so I add one for dual boot with Pop! OS for some experiments with Linux gaming. It turns out the gaming experience was not bad on Linux any more. Only a minor gap in terms of fps exists now, but getting games work on Linux still needs some efforts more than doing that on Windows 10.

- close in performance to much more expensive CPUs - 18 (!) cores - matches AMD in gaming and handily beats in productivity

Upgraded 2020 budget mini ITX build from Ryzen 5 2600. Updated mobo before disassembly. For unknown reason CPU would not register/ black screen, then it magically went to working after I asked for replacement. LOL. Does not come with fan, which I knew. Reused Nomura fan and cooler. Temps very moderate. I also upgraded to an NVMe 1tb ssd, all paired with existing GTX1060 6 GB, 16 GB RAM. Could not be happier. Noticeable difference in speed. Should be good for several more years now. Fast shipping too.

-Fast -Fast -Very Very Fast

As fast as a Core i9-12900K, at least in the benchmarks I care about. Comes with a slim cooler. Low power! 65W max by default, but on Windows it should idle very low thanks to the efficiency cores.
