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

I previously built an 8th gen i7 for gaming and work, relegating my 1st gen i7 to my hobby (ham radio) after 13 years that mobo started acting up, and I made the decision to build a new computer for gaming and put the 8th gen to my hobby.

first 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.

Hired someone to help me and the CPU did not work at all. Kept trying but it would not work. Returning and waiting for refund.

This is the best CPU in the world, period.

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.

Upgrading from my core i7 7700 to this CPU. Coupled with Asus Z760-B motherboard. This is a great Intel CPU as usual.

Excelente desempeño

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.

runs hot but I already knew that finally went with an AOI 28MM but a 36MM would be better my case only takes a 28MM.
