runs better than my 3900x on a b660m ASRock pro RS board 240mmaio

Its Intel so you know its fast! Easy installation!

- Cheap - Meet requirements of pretty much everything

Much cheaper than boxed cpu, so if you aren't looking to use a stock cooler this is the way to go, but honestly, you could buy a cheap AIO cooler and still save money over the retail boxed version. CPU was well packaged (bubble wrap package, box, more bubble wrap around a 2nd box containing the plastic CPU holder}, and in perfect condition. Great CPU, at a great price!

-Fast for web browsing. Especially watching livestreams like Twitch.tv and Youtube. -Faster than I thought for gaming -Runs cool with water cooling

I don't need gaming or other heavy lifting for a CPU. I just needed a cool, quiet, modern platform that will last me for a good number of years. I chose Intel over AMD as I find Intel's Quick Sync hardware capabilities to be better in my application for a media server. This CPU fit the bill. It's the cheapest option to get into a socket 1851 platform at this time with no budget oriented Ultra 3, Pentiums, or Celeron chips available. Having 10 cores available is nice to have, but a bit overkill for my application. I am pleased with the CPU. It stays cool and quiet. The stock cooler has a copper core and is VERY quiet! It does everything I need.

-I'm blown away by just how smooth everything is now. -The x3d architecture bringing more cache is incredible for games. If you are having micro-stutters, then this is your fix. -Seemingly better than the current intel line-up -No pins on the CPU!

Arrived earlier than expected. Works just like new.

works great

- Best CPU for the money - My PC is running the a beast


Purchased 30 Nov 2024. I haven't touched the full capabilities of this CPU, but it's pretty beefy.

- Consistent and reliable performance - Reasonable to keep cooled adequately - Has areas where it does in fact outrun the directly competing other-brand chip

I have not used the AMD processor yet. Box is seal, so should be good, right. Remember to have that heat sink, and thermal compound on it, or it will burn in two seconds. I just wish these companies did not make it so difficult to match CPU with Motherboard BIOS. Only buy Motherboards with Flashback BIOS.

Easy install. Includes a heat sink and fan-I didnt use it but still good for some. Started right up and ran with no trouble.

-fast response and good replacement time

Fast upgrade from 12900k 6ghz outta box AI overclock Price vs last two chips Same socket

Fastest CPU on the market


+ Genuine AMD CPU + Came adequately packaged + Worked out of the box + Arrived in the same box as the rest of my Newegg order (stuff sold by Newegg)
