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

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.

This tiddlywink done clocked to 5.5Ghz and that did done good on my Photoshops and After Effect. I done did games and stream subsequently. It did. Done.

What was intel thinking with this Clamp design. Dont even look at the socket pins the wrong way. The slightest touch on the Motherboards CPU socket will end in disaster.

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.

If you are looking to get the best gaming experience with the decent price and not getting poor processing power, this is your option, you get the flagship power with lower price than competitor.

This was the first Generation 13 processor we used in a build. Of course the actual build procedure is no different than before so not much can be said for that. Our test show it is about 9% faster than its same-numbered 12th generation. The other thing we did see from our tests is that again 12th vs.13th the newer processor appears to run about 2°-3° C lower in temperature under somewhat similar conditions. All in all, obviously we will be doing our building going forward with 13 series processors we cant see justification for anyone taking their i9-12900k out and installing i9-13900k. The gains would probably not be really experienced.

If you’re looking at this as a gaming-only processor, you’ll probably get 95% of the gaming performance this offers with the cheaper and cooler i5-13600k. Save your money and put it into a better GPU over buying this because that will actually result in more FPS where this processor (over the 13600k) will not.

Excelente procesador! Es top. Es indispensable una buena refrigeración.

Added to an ASUS ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming WiFi D4. Its working great so far

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.
