In Desktop CPU Processor

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.

Highest single thread performance on the market Huge gaming performance upgrade over previous Intel gens Undervolts very well. Setting AC loadline to 50 reduces power by 20-30% at stock frequencies. Lots of knobs to turn for tweakers with P-core, E-core, and ring to overclock

Good graphics. Working great in a media PC.

16 threads and boost's to 5 ghtz for $180 with taxes included. I have Win11pro with old software and it works like a champ. It is not super snappy but about four times as fast as the amd quad core I upgraded from. I am very pleased.

Just as fast as 9800x3d

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.

Decent price. Overclocks to 4.5Ghz. Trusted brand.

Works great, great price, fast shipping, actually received what is shown.

- Easy to cool with 240 liquid cooler - Runs any games easily with RTX 4090 - Compatible with my old Z790 motherboard after an easy BIOS update - Productivity tasks are now a little faster due to more CPU cores - Non-K CPUs are amazing, most people by far do not need overclocking

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.

Fast shipping

Easily installed on a new MSI motherboard with stock fan. Recognized in BIOS and simply works

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

A GREAT great upgrade from my FX 8350 and even my I7 machine.

This is a great value if you aren't needing high-end graphics and want to save some money on your build. You don't need the additional graphics card in your system.
