    • Great Chip
Style: CPU Only
Great CPU. Still highly capable in today's market, and overclocks like a beast. I got this thing up to 5.00GHz at a measly 1.32V--so it's a bit of a golden chip. It is ridiculously snappy in the OS and keeps up with my 3080ti much better than before, with better 1% lows. It's a little expensive for what it is these days, but they don't make them anymore, so you're paying the deadstock prices. That being said, if you can get a 9700K for a good deal, do it. Its a super fun, super capable little chip. Prompt shipping and well packaged too. ... show more

Expected it to come in a box, but fully capable chip for my home server. Huge improvement over the i5 that was in it.

I'm upgrading from a 4790k. If you own something from recent generations, then upgrading may be unnecessary (depending on your disposable income). I know the allure of owning the latest and greatest, of which this is for gaming. Previous build: cpu: 4790K @4.4GHz cooler: Cooler Master GeminII S524 Version 2 mobo: MIS Z97 Gaming 7 gpu: Asus ROG Strix OC 1080 Ti memory: Corsair Vengeance 2 x 8 DDR3 1600MHz psu: Corsair TX750 Current build: cpu: 9700K @5.1GHz cooler: CORSAIR H100i PRO RGB mobo: Asus ROG Strix Z390-I gpu: Asus ROG Strix OC 1080 Ti memory: Corsair Vengeance 2 x 16 DDR4 3200MHz psu: Corsair HX850i 9700K v 9900K: For gaming, the 9700K is ~$120-150 cheaper and you only lose a few frames and in some cases gain frames. The question of whether Hyper-threading is right for you is up to your application. Gaming benefits from clock speed over core count once a minimum core count is reached. I think the was Intel's rationale in offering the 9700K. It's a budget 8 core unlocked 9th gen cpu with no Hyper-threading. The 9900K is the obvious superior choice for multi-threaded operations and encoding. If you're looking for a powerful encoding cpu for broadcasting/recording, the 9900K will be a budget buy beating out the entry X-series HEDT chips by at least half the price. If you are looking for a high performance gaming cpu, this should be on your short list. Gaming benchmarks comparing the 9700K v 9900K show negligible differences. I'll leave the AMD debate/comparisons for others. I'll let the benchmarks I've attached speak for themselves, but here is the tldr. I overclocked to 5.1Ghz using XMP I, DDR4 3200MHz. I turned off Speedstep and Speed shift as this brought me more stability when playing games, specifically LoL. Idles at ~40 degrees @1.359-1.368v. Under load ~80 degrees @1.376-1.385v. I have included benchmark screen shots (each paired with the corresponding HWMonitor results) from CineBench, CPU-Z, 3DMark Time Spy Benchmark & Stress tests. I'm extremely happy with the performance of this processor. It runs warm, but an overclocker should be prepared for advanced cooling solutions. ... show more

    • Not bad but DEPENDS on your Uses.
Style: CPU Only
If you are someone who is modest to gaming, editing, or using somewhat intensive applications on your computer than I would recommend getting the i5-9600K or i5-8600K. The i5 600K line is honestly not different at all from this. You see the performance more in this CPU if you have multiple applications open, have been streaming and playing on the same computer for a while, gaming and keeping an eye on your frames somewhat or consistently or you are an editor. Like you actually edit videos not like edit photo slide shows on windows movie maker. I am a college student majoring in Computer Hardware Engineering so I use my PC to do school work, Game and to do projects or presentations on whatever Adobe Program I have to use. Sometimes we use Google but still. I usually have multiple applications running and I've been PC gaming since 2017 so I felt as spending the extra $107 (i5-9600K was priced at $192 at the time of typing this review) was worth it. Again, this all depends on your uses but I have gotten solid performance, as expected from Intel and an i7 Processor. I have gotten 80+ to 100+ FPS on games (I play on Very high or Ultra settings, this depends on the game) on 1080P paired with a GTX 1080. Multi-tasking is a breeze and applications still work flawlessly. Only downside I can think of is there's not much of a difference between this and a i7-8700K. Other than that if Price is not a concern for you and you want arguably a good reliable and good performing CPU, Then GO FOR IT!! ... show more

    • Easy upgrade.
Style: CPU Only
Install was simple, needed a bigger fan to handle the light bulb power requirements. Windows didn't initially recognize the upgrade, had to run msconfig as follows 1. Click Start, type “msconfig” (without the quotes) in the Start Search box and then press ENTER. 2. In the System Configuration window, click the Boot tab. 3. Click the Advanced Options button. 4. Check mark the Number of processors box. 5. Click on the 1 below to open a choice box, and click then on 2. If the choice box does not open, you don’t possess a multi-core processor and won’t be able to use this tip. 6. Click OK. 7. Windows jumps back to the system configuration window. Click “OK”. 8. You will be asked to reboot the PC. Save all open files, close all open applications, and then click Restart. The modifications will be immediately effective. ... show more
