Intel Core i7-13700K Desktop Processor 16 cores (8 P-cores + 8 E-cores) 30M Cache, up to 5.4 GHz

Don’t cheap out on the CPU cooler because this thing runs hot. Otherwise amazing gaming performance and the E-cores are nice when you are just web-browsing

Everything worked great out of the box, so far so good.

Great chip! I had to return my Amazon product and buy it in store as the one that was shipped to me had been opened and I didn’t want to put a used chip in my new build. That said the return was easy and the chip is a beast. Just keep that in mind when ordering online… make sure to use a new chip as these are very sensitive.

The CPU arrived in a well protected package, no damage. installation is easy, and once up it is fast and easy to configure. will be nice to include a manual or a USB for CPU setup.

I built a new computer during the height of covid (Dummy, I know, right?) and decided on a i9-9900k. Im a sysadmin by trade, so remoting in and fixing servers has never been an issue with that processor..but for gaming..Titles like Cyberpunk, Days Gone, to even WoW..there were areas that my 3080 was being bottlenecked by the 9900k.

El salto desde 10gen fue bastante grande, la diferencia en multi core fue casi el doble. En single se comporta excelente. Lo uso con Ddr5 6400 y placa MSI Z690 Edge (tuve que actualizar bios con Flash Button). Con H100i RGB Pro Xt las temp andan en 40-45° C en idle y 60-70° C jugando en pleno verano en Chile. Se puede dejar tdp ilimitado o limitado con undervolt para ahorrar energía y bajar temp. Ahora a esperar rebaja de RTX 4080 o que llegue 4070 TI para completar el setup.

Many folks go for i9s in whichever series intel brings out at regular intervals while I have preferred to either go 5s or 7s (cant imagine a scenario Id need a 9 since I primarily do 1080p gaming irrespective if its a AAA game or indie or some blast from the past from GOG). Wouldve stuck with 10th gen had that prebuilt machine not gone awry. Heating wise this can get hot so invest in at least a 240 or 280 AIO while a powerful air cooler can also get things manageable (maybe from deepcool, noctua, bequiet, etc). If using a less chonky air cooler then do some undervolting to prevent overheating. I have no complaints with this 13700k. Thanks Amazon and DHL.

I got this for a new system build even though a little higher than I like to spend. But it has performed great.

Excelente desempeño

I have had zero problems with it since installing it. Thats probably the best compliment you can give a CPU. I am running it in a B660 motherboard, so Im not overclocking it, but I can adjust the turbo boost to fall within certain power limits. No issues at all with this CPU.
