Fast Runs cool on air cooler

came with cpu cooler fast for me at least super good price

Runs all my games with no problems. Great CPU I recommend to anyone looking for better performance.

Fastest processor for gaming More efficient than i5 13600k it replace (80-120w while gaming) Drop in replacement in any x670/b650 (after bios update) Easy to cool (I used an Id cooling A620 SLK air cooler)

- Better then 9950X in production - Fast in gaming beating i9 14900K

W11 Compliant Works in ROG Crosshair Hero VI

Great CPU works great plays all the games maxed out.

-Very, very fast. -Best CPU for gaming -Top contender for production -Runs cooler than previous X3D variations due to cache on bottom of silicon. -Can overclock or undervolt. -Improved Windows support to designate core parking compared to 7950x3d -Oh, and its VERY FAST!

Amd core Great value Had to tune down CPU because base speed was 5.2 GHz

Luckily I like spending time tweaking my CPU. My benchmark scores and framerates really did not go up until I dialed in a good Core Offset, tuned the memory beyond EXPO's auto settings, turned off Core Isolation in Windows, downloaded Win 11 update KB5041587. I have not tried Win11 24H2 yet, and I am not running this with any version of Linux. Compared to my 7950x, I have way more throw with the Core offset. I can dial in a Core Offset beyond -25 with the 9950x, whereas my 7950x gets fussy when I try a CO beyond -5. The 9950x also doesn't run as hot.

I power limit to 225w, and undervolt -0.100 across the entire chip. This keeps temps under 78c in any situation on big air coolers and under 70c on 280mm AIOs. Right now I have this stacked with an MSI z790 tomahawk wifi max, which was an emergency purchase from best buy, my asrock died. But its been 100% good with this CPU and undervolt etc... Most people will not utilize these cpu's fully outside of rendering video, compiling apps, machine learning and testing via CPU prior to cuda/rocm runs. I came from a Ryzen 5900X and before that an i7-3770. I undervolted from day 1 so I missed all the chip self delete issues that have been surfacing this year. I think the 13/14th gen and probably the new Ultra 2 will satisfy most compute requirements for another couple generations. Frame chasers will always demand the highest clocks and latest tech but for video editing, daily work, machine learning, non-obsessive gaming this i7 or the i9 is pretty good. FYI I have also utilized an anti bend frame day 1 as well. So I do not have any experience on this gen without having a good flat-ish cpu.

I got the CPU about a week after ordering. No problems so far.

Super awesome communication and accurate description. Item came before expected. Arrived in perfect condition and exactly as described. This chip now powers my AI/Racing Sim Box.. very happy customer!

- Didn't lag on Fortnite


I'm running it in Bios, AMD (eco-mode) and, its a beast.. Unfortunately I don't have the cinebench results on this to show right now, but eco mode OR full power mode it goes FULL speed ahead and renders faster than last gen's 5950X for a fraction of the cost. AND yes, this chip does NOT run at 95c, I usually run around 36-40c and 60-70c at 100% flat out. It never exceeds 70c. Also uses a lot less power over all then last gen, or intel. NOTE (THIS CPU WILL WORK WITH AIO, "ARTIC LIQUID FREEZER II 360MM" COMES WITH AM4/AM5 UNIVERSAL MOUNTING KIT INCLUDED, CAN CONFIRM AM5 OFFSET MODE COOLS 7000 SERIES CARD CORRECTLY)

Only 65W and uses it well. Zippy performance at less heat! Typically running in the middle 40's C for me.

Makes my 13600kf hide it's squishy bits in locker room shame. You won't have to buy another processor for... I don't know, a few months?


Very fast cpu, Intel 200 boost puts it on par with the x3d CPUs at 4k 24 cores for demanding games and editing Low temps and power draw
