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.

This served me well for so long. I bought it maybe 6 or 7 years ago. Still works, passed it on to my family when I upgraded.

I upgraded from the i5 9400F. I didn’t want to change my motherboard to accommodate the ene-of-the-line 10th generation intel processor. I change up every few years and I think it is more prudent to wait until the 10nm fabrication this time around. I bought the processor for gaming and VR. At first I was getting major loss in fps at 80-90 hz on a 165hz hertz monitor (HP Omen 27i IPS display, 1440 res., 165 hz). I have Noctua NH-U95 cooling it with one fan, which isn’t enough. It would exceed 75C without overclocking under full load. Once I added a second fan attached to the heatsink, and one above to vent of out the warm air, it never exceeds 60C and idles at 30C! Paired with a Strix overclocked gtx 2070 and having 32gb of DDR4 memory, I can play almost any PC game at full quality and all VR games. H-K: Alyx is pretty cranked up as far as quality and it runs smoothly. The 9400F was noticeably maxing out in performance. While the 9700K is only around 12-14% faster, it is enough headroom to smooth out performance in gaming. Everything also felt snappier as far as desktop usage. It should give me enough processing power until the next advances in transistor fabrication. This processor probably doesn't overclock well with the performance hit it takes at higher temperatures. Inadequately cooled, the CPU Benchmark was 89%. Once I increased the airflow, it came in at 100%. With my 9400F, the gaming PC score was around 90%. With the 9700K, I’m at 108%. Unless you’re gaming, the 9400F is more than adequate for most needs.

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.

def a strong cpu but al little bit old as we head into the future. released in 2018 the i7-9700k can output strong speeds and leverage for competitive gaming and streaming which i intend on doing with the cpu!! Everything shown on photo is what came in the package.

Very odd that it says new but comes in a not original box. Also says cpu only an no cooler but yet it come with a cooler. Looks like it may have had thermal paste on it at some point but was cleaned off. Seems like it’s a legit i7 but a little hesitant about how it’s labeled and sold.

Such a great processor for the price, I bought this in 2020 and I’m still more than adequate in my FPS. I’ve had no issues with processing speed and I don’t plan to upgrade anytime soon. I use my desktop daily and I get the same performance as my buddy’s 2024 build.

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.
