> 3 dayAmazing CPU, noticed huge improvements in performance almost everywhere (faster load times, higher FPS in games, etc.) Performance was especially noticeable in CPU heavy games such as WoW, that dont require as much GPU power and are heavily bottlenecked by CPU. In cases like those I doubled FPS going from 9th gen to 13th gen Intel.

Greater than one weekMy latest build has the i7-13700k. This cpu is a beast! Every motherboard I have used with 13th gen CPUs needs the BIOS updated first before it will boot properly!

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayMany 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.

> 3 dayThe 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.

> 3 dayIt can be used on cheaper motherboards and DDR4 memory which saves money vs AMD 7000 series.

Greater than one weekfirst this cpu is fast, the speed at which everything gets done is mind blowing for the price. But you better have really good cooling for this beast, especially if you OC it, full custom loop water with 2 360s and it will still get to 100c easy. the big let down with it, and all 12th and 13th gen intels is the ILM mount, it will bend the CPU causing poor contact with your cooler or worse bad contact with the pins, this can be corrected with a TG frame and some lapping but then youll void the warranty, but if you dont mind that you can greatly reduce the temps.
