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

Will eat up anything you throw at it. Runs hot so make sure you get a cooler that can adequately chill it. If you can fit a 360 radiator in your case, get a 360mm radiator or AIO. Dont skimp on your cooling solution!

Its a great cpu to pair with 3090 gets a bit hot wouldnt use a air cooler on this

Runs hot. I used a closed loop water cooler. Runs blistering fast

Above are screenshots of my Passmark benchmark, both systems exactly the same, except the first picture has the 13700K and the second picture has the 12700K in it. The rest of the components are HX1200, Asus ROG Maximus Hero Z690, Gskill Trident DDR5 F5 6000Mhz, Adata Legend 840 SSD X2 set up in RAID 0. Vetroo Lurker 240mm AIO water cooling, Power color RX 6900 XT. I run all (P) cores synced at 5300 MHz. Temps idle at about 32 to 35C, hard benchmarking takes it up as high as 88 C once, typically about 75C. Ordinary gaming, tasking takes it to about 45 to 50C.

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.

Performs well, no issues so far.

My 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!

Far exceeded my wildest expectations. Runs like a dream, tearing thru anything I throw at it. Even without an overclock it benchmarks at anl high level. Cinebench casually posting around a 31000 multicore score. Havent even bothered with an overclock, as gaming at 144 fps has been a breeze. P cores are performing well, and Ive seen boosts well up past 5.2ghz when needed. Those e cores are a huge advancement, taking strain off other cores running background tasks. Just a fantastic processor, highly recommended.

The best for gaming

This was a no brainer upgrade for me. The 13900k may be faster depending on what youre doing but this is a close second. No issues for me, and since the motherboard I used was able to take the cooler from my previous cpu (10850k) I was up and running right away. Temps are slightly warmer at times than the 10850k but definitely nothing to worry about. Quite pleased overall!
