Not only has my FPS and overall gaming performance improvedespecially in older titles like World of WarcraftI went against popular opinion and sold my underwhelming AMD system, upgrading to this one. I originally aimed for the 270K, but when it sold out, this model popped back in stock, and I decided to take the chance. I run multiple LLMs, game, stream, do light video editing, and experiment with AI and video generationbasically a little bit of everything. I already had a 5080 and 64GB of RAM, but wowthis machine is a beast. I was worried Id lose 1015% performance, and in some games I did lose about 5%, but what truly matters is that I can now use my PC however I wanteven while gaming. No more shutting down my LLMs just to play casually. The best part? My 1% lows jumped up massivelyby around 35% in MMOs. Thats far more important to me than raw FPS. No more micro-stutters, OBS crashes, or rubberbanding. I used to spend hours tweaking settings just to get games good enough to enjoyand I always felt I fell short. Im not claiming to be a hardware guru, just a hobbyist whos built PCs for over a decade (RIP 1080 Ti). Long story short: if youre chasing every last frame and dont care about AI, 1% lows, or multitasking, this is an incredible bargain at $200.

- Don't have to marry into the thread ripper eco system. - Cheaper than thread ripper. - Good for AI and Gaming. - Zero scheduling issues.

Does everything well.

Stats to max out my motherboard. Simple install, no fuss no issue (so far), still working on build so haven't powered up yet but I'm confident!


There are no issues with Monster Hunter World.



I bought the 265KF, meant to get the K but its ok, anyway its by far the best processor I've ever had. My first 8 core processor and on the i7 tier. It makes everything so so smooth just navigating anywhere . It pushes everything to my RTX 3070ti with room to spare. A huge upgrade from my i5 10600k from my first build.
