Runs hot
Upgraded from Asus Prime Z390-A (i7 9700k) to Asus ROG Strix Z790-1 Wifi D4 (i7 13700k). Using Noctua NH-U12A air cooler. Temperatures around 60 C when gaming, with spikes around 75 C. Most users report this processor tends to run hot. I have not stress tested but have heard reports of throttling when under extreme (not typical user) load. Overall happy with the choice.

Very fast
I replaced a 7th generation I7 CPU with this one. The difference in performance is dramatic (although I the also replaced the MOBO, which contributed to the improvement). I may have bought too much CPU power. The ASUS diagnostics that I run show that the CPU rarely runs at more than 10% of capacity (although I also installed a new GPU so most of the graphics processing is offloaded).Installation in the ASUS motherboard was straightforward, although the socket size has changed from my previous Intel CPU, and I had to purchase a new mounting bracket for my cooler, which I did not replace.

Working great so far (w/ asus prime b760m-a + g-skill ddr5 6400)
Scored in higher percentile on on the userbenchmark test. it uses a ton of power if you push it though and max out the capability of all 16 cores, like 250w! but as you can see normally it’s like 25w or so.

Best CPU for gaming with this value
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.It is usually huge amount of power however in load, but for person like me keeping OC most of the time, this is where E cores getting into the play.I’m not Intel fan anymore, I wanted to get AMD but because AMD requires DDR5 and much expensive for no payback compared to Intel, I did choose this, and I’m not regretting it.So TL;DR: if you are short in budget, and want something last long for next years, get this one fore sure.

Plenty of Power
I’ve never had a problem with intel cpu’s, been running the 8086k for years, and now to get the 13700k for the same price with double the cores and threads….you really can’t go wrong with intel. Glad I got this when I did, even when the newer stuff comes out, I’m positive this is future proof for many years to come. As of now (8/10/23) it is placed 5th on userbenchmarks.

Great workstation CPU
Great workstation CPU. Upgraded my aging Intel Haswell 4770k workstation to these new, e-core embedded Intel CPUs.Only negative drawback is that these newer Intel CPUs run hot and eat quite a bit of wattage.Should have picked an I5 instead but wanted to future proof my new workstation until 2030.Highly recommend!

Absolute unit for 1080p-1440p gaming
Really powerful cpu for sure, haven’t even been able to find a game that limits it out, thermals are beautiful with the h150i elite under heavy loads staying in the 50s-60s. Perfect for 1080p-1440p and even could potentially run some 4k games with the right gpu paired. Overall very happy with the performance!

Great cpu wish efficiency cores were more controllable
Great cpu, however I wish I could customize when efficiency cores would be used for certain apps or services. For example a hypervisor. Or Plex for 4k encoding ( want only physical cores for that)

Absolute beast-gaming overkill
If you’re looking at this as a gaming-only processor, you’ll probably get 95% of the gaming performance this offers with the cheaper and cooler i5-13600k. Save your money and put it into a better GPU over buying this because that will actually result in more FPS where this processor (over the 13600k) will not.That being said, this processor is a monster. It’s a bear to keep cool but it has the performance to back it up. Most stable and speedy system I’ve ever owned. 13th gen might have come out before Ryzen 7000 series, but I still think it’s the winner.EK’s Nucleus 360mm AIO did a great job at keeping this CPU under control.

Great CPU – can’t go wrong!
My previous build had an i7-9700K and after 5 years of abuse, I decided to upgrade in this new build to an i7-13700K and I’m not disappointed. It’s a great CPU and is handling everything I throw at it. Stays cool even without a fancy AIO / liquid cooling setup. During the process of installing the CPU on the socket, it fell into place perfectly, but when adjusting the motherboard arm to secure the CPU into the socket, it did feel I had to put a bit more force than I would have thought necessary, but it clicked into place and is running smoothly with no issues. Highly recommended!=====Complete Parts List=====MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk WiFi LGA 1700 ATX Motherboard -https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813144567?item=N82E16813144567Cable Matters 2-Pack 3 way 4 pin PWM Fan Splitter -https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PXLHNZ6?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsArctic MX-4 Thermal Paste -https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0795DP124?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsCableMod C-Series Classic ModMesh Sleeved Cable Kit -https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HMJ6GNJ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details(2x) Corsair Vengeance DDR5 RAM 5600MHz CL36 -https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09WH64X5M?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4070 White OC 12GB DDR6X -https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C4BZZWJM?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsNZXT H9 Flow Dual-Chamber Mid-Tower -https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BG1GQKKY?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details(2x) Corsair LL120 RGB Triple Pack -https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07LF1B1Y8?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsIntel i7-13700K 16core -https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BCF57FL5?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsCorsair RM850x Full Modular ATX PSU -https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08R5JPTMZ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsRocketek 9pin USB Header Splitter -https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085KVH16T?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsDeepCool AK400 CPU Cooler -https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09PCWK7SP?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsSamsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD -https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MFZY2F2?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Good CPU, working well in gaming
The media could not be loaded.
In general – all mentioned in this review products are as described and working as described. Almost all deserve 5 stars (commented if one or more stars are taken off). Instead of reviewing item by item I decided to write one review for all products used for one specific PC build. The purpose of this PC build – fancy compact gaming system.Items used in this build:–Item 1) OCPC Mini ITX Case, Hydra Italy Mini ITX PC Case, Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BK6D77DG/Very good case – compact, cool looking and efficient. The black color is the only variant I found on Amazon. With only cooling from top-down CPU cooler, the i7-13700K based system passed the stress test very well. Riser cable is not included – actually the riser cable for GPU orientation as shown on Amazon item photo does not exist. In order to build the system as shown, I bought a flexible riser cable (Item #2) and twisted it to 180°. Another simpler solution is to install GPU upside down as presented by other reviewers on Amazon.–Item 2) EZDIY-FAB PCIE 4.0 16x Extreme High Speed Flexible Riser Cable PCI Express Port GPU Extension Card-Dual Reverse Connector for ITX [21cm]. Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09S5DW3RX/-Does the job – exactly what I need for the project. Note: During system build I have to remove the bracket from the cable male connector and install it back after passing cable through the case hole.–Item 3) Power supply: Cooler Master V750 SFX Gold Full Modular, 750W, Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08LP7B7FM/- Works as supposed to. PSU had a noticeable burning smell for about 5 days, considering this is normal for a new PSU. If you want to build more powerful gaming system, I recommend the PCIe 5.0 ready 850W SFX PSU, something like ARESGAME GL850 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CHDS4J33/SFX-L PSU will work in Hydra Mini as well, but cable management will be tougher.–Item 4) CPU: Intel Core i7-13700K, Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BCF57FL5/- Good CPU, working well in gaming.–Item 5) Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B760-I Gaming WiFi, Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BR8TVLPL/- Working as described, nice looking MB. Thank you, ASUS – now ROG motherboards have the Memtest86+ built in BIOS. This very helpful feature allows PC builders to check memory before operating system installation and prevent blue screens and failures during OS install and system use in case of defective memory.In my case originally ordered CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB DDR5 RAM 64GB (2x32GB) 6400MHz (Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C1R95SPW/) was defective. Both memory modules came to life and showed ok in BIOS but Memtest86+ got errors. I did test modules one by one in the same memory slot and found out that one of the modules is the cause of the failures. Returned the defective memory and bought another from a different brand (Item #6). ASUS ROG Motherboard chosen for the look. In my opinion the best Intel (or may be overall) mini ITX MB on the market is MSI MPG Z790I Edge WiFi Gaming Motherboard (Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BHCJ6KQ2/ ) I own one and have a very best experience.–Item 6) Memory: TEAMGROUP T-Force Delta RGB DDR5 Ram 64GB (2x32GB) 6000MHz, Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BNTV1945/-Very good product, works as described, nice looking, recognized by Aura Sync.–Item 7) Graphics Card: MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB, Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CCFZMHSM/- Graphics card work as supposed to, have low power consumption. This GPU was chosen for the look only. Anyway, the presented system can play all modern games well at 1440p. But if you want the very good gaming experience, I will recommend at least RTX 4070 Ti like MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Ventus 2X 12G OC. And the very best (talking about built on Hydra Italy Mini Case) will be the system with 850W PCIe 5.0 SFX PSU and:a) MSI MPG Z790I Edge WiFi Gaming Motherboard, Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BHCJ6KQ2/b) Intel Core i9-13900KF, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BCFM3CJ4/c) ASUS ProArt GeForce RTX™ 4080 16GB OC, ( Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C75J66C8/). This compact GPU has included Graphics Card Holder which will work with presented builtI own all of these (a,b,c) components packed in another fancy mini ITX case (Phanteks PH-ES217A_BK02 Evolv Shift 2 Air Mini-ITX case, Fabric Side Panels) and they performed superb in games.–Item 8) SSD Disks:8.1) Primary (system): WD_BLACK 2TB SN850X NVMe Gen4 PCIe M.2 2280 WDS200T2X0E, Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B7CMZ3QH/8.2) Secondary (backup and media data): Crucial P3 Plus 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 CT4000P3PSSD8, Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B25M8FXX/- Very good products, works as described, no problems.–Item 9) Antec Power Supply Sleeved Cable, PSU Cables, PSU Extension Cable Kit / 1x24pin ATX / 2x8pin (4+4) EPS / 3X (6+2) pin PCI-E, 30cm Length with Combs, Dual EPS Red Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BN3H2K17/- Perfect fit for this project, good cables, looks nice.–Item 10)CPU cooler: ID-COOLING IS-67-XT Black 67mm Height Low Profile CPU Cooler, Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CFPY9CKZ/- Good design, keeps i7-13700K adequately cool in open Air PC Case. Mounting for regular size 120mm fan included. Easy installation – just install radiator 1st and mount fan after. ID-COOLING IS-67-XT chosen because of black color. In my opinion DeepCool AN600 Low Profile CPU Cooler (Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C4P8ZPWT/) has a little bit better cooling performance (I have one in a very compact Flex ATX build).–Item 11) EZDIY-FAB Moonlight 120mm RGB PWM Case Fan, Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07X8T79QY/Good, quiet and nice-looking fan. Actually, it is a leftover piece from a 9 fans ATX tower system build. If you want to build a similar system with a similar look, I recommend Cooler Master MF120 Halo² Fan Duo-Ring ARGB (Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BWKZGYXJ/). This fan has a similar look but has better airflow / air pressure.—Item 12) 24 Pin RGB Cable Extension Kit (used ARGB strip only), Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WN4G7KC/- The power cable connector to MB too tight – did not go all the way down, afraid to broke the MB if try to apply more force (the regular PSU cable fits perfect). Connector to PSU too tight as well, but was able to connect all the way down. Actually, in reality the system with this cable does not look good (too much RGB). Did use ARGB strip only for decoration purposes on the GPU side.–Item 13) Thermal Paste: ARCTIC MX-6. Optional – I have a very good experience using this thermal paste brand and always using it for the builds (so thermal paste provided by ID-COOLING was not used). Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09VDLH5M6/———–Overall, I assume the goal is reached – the presented system can play recent games and look very cool (in my humble opinion).

Outstanding performance and utilities!
The highest package temps my CPU gets while running multiple applications is 85 degrees Celsius. And that’s only for brief moments. Average 68 – 75 degrees while gaming with high graphics games with youtube running in the background. Maxes at the 253 rated watts for me, which really is fine. Average of about 100 watts and computer overall idles @ 65 watts, which is 25 watts less than my old i7 4th gen. No need to undervolt this CPU, even though you can, you’ll just be giving yourself future headaches if you do. During the Cinebench stress test you get temps that max out at 98 – 100 degrees Celsius, but remember that’s absolute max mode, 99% of users will never use this CPU for more than several minutes at. If Intel’s Extreme Tuning Utility does not automatically download when installing, definitely get it from intels website and learn to use it. It is easy to use, and you won’t regret it. I just use it for monitoring performance, but you can use it for easy optimize and under/overvolt with too, but I’d recommend doing any of that through your motherboard BIOS if you decide to. Most new BIOS’s are easier and safer for that kind of stuff anyway. Do your research on which to use and how. Long story short if you want max performance to play around with just get a i9 processor, that’s what those are made for, for everyone else there’s this one!

Super Fast, can run hot
Super fast and stable CPU. Note that it can run hot because of the higher voltage it can use. I made sure to get a nice AIO for it. Coupled with an arctic freeze II 306 it rarely gets above 30C.

Great CPU, but hard to cool
After too many years of gaming on an old i7-6700K I finally decided to pull the upgrade trigger this year. I purchased the most up to date CPU and other components with the hope this one will last me as long as the last one did. Overall I think this is a great CPU, however it is a bit frustrating when you try to cool these things. Intel just keeps pushing these CPUs harder and harder to try and beat the performance metrics of AMD, but in the process they are making CPUs that are anywhere from near impossible to difficult at best to keep cool. After a lot of tweaking in the BIOS I finally got this one to stay below the 90 degree Celsius threshold, but that doesn’t account for how hot it still makes my room when I’m gaming. The extra heat was kind of nice during the winter months, but as summer is approaching I’m wondering how this is going to pan out…Anyway, the CPU is completely as advertised and worked flawlessly out of the box. I didn’t run into any errors or issues with this CPU. Overall I 100% recommend it because Intel has never let me down. I’ve been building my own systems for more than 20 years now too, so that’s a pretty long track record of CPUs that just worked and never died. Because of that I can easily recommend this CPU and I would definitely order it again.

Super Fast and temperatures aren’t as bad as I expected
I bought this to replace my 10850k after I realized how much it was holding back my 4090. I bought an ASRock z790 PG lightning /d4 board to go with it so I could use my existing DDR4 ram. The difference was night and day! I have an ID-Cooling 280mm AIO (cheapest I could find on Amazon) with a contact frame and kyronaut thermal grizzly extreme paste and does not thermal throttle on Cinebench R23 unless I run 3 or 4 passes back to back. I am thrilled with how well this CPU runs.I was able to bump my DDR4 up to 4200mhz in gear 1 (timings cl20/26/26/26/48) after a bios update from ASRock and this thing is rock solid and crazy fast! I get an average of 30500 in cinebench r23 and it will overclock as far as you want – I have taken it to 5.7 and it runs fine, it just thermal throttles quickly at that speed. I’m pretty sure I could overclock this beast to the moon if I threw a lot more money into a custom cooling loop, but it is plenty fast as is. I have no regrets about not bumping up to the 13900k, I do gaming and code compiling and it is a dream for both of those workloads.

Stable System
I use this i7-13700K every day for about a year. I have Crucial RAM 64GB Kit (2x32GB) DDR5 4800MT/s CL40 Desktop Memory CT2K32G48C40U5 modules (4 of them), a Corsair RM1000x (2021) Fully Modular ATX Power Supply in a Phanteks Enthoo Pro Full Tower Chassis without Window Cases PH-ES614PC_BK in service for about one year as I write this review. For the most part, assembly was very easy. I do video editing, audio editing, streaming, wordprocessing, browsing and email with my setup. I use all of my SATA ports and even have a plug-in eSATA card for more ports. So most of my drive bays are filled. The cpu, dram and everything I have connected to my power supply and motherboard has been rock solid stable, and the case holds in all together. It just works exactly the way I want and have no anomalies. The power supply, motherboard and all components run cool in the case with an i7-13700K CPU, 128 GB of Crucial DDR5-4800 that is clocked at 5200 automatically set by the motherboard itself. My video card is a the very modest ASUS GeForce GT 1030 2GB GDDR5 HDMI DVI Graphics Card (GT1030-2G-CSM) because I transitioned my ancient setup from MBR to GPT and needed to be able to boot the old system in the new motherboard before updating the Windows 10 Pro config to GPT UEFI and still be able to boot legacy devices. Everything just worked like a Swiss Chronograph. I strongly recommend this cpu, dram, the power supply, the case, the ASUS ProArt Z790-Creator WiFi 6E LGA 1700, the Asus video card, and am also recommending the Crucial MX500 SATA drives I use. Is it all of this the fastest? I have no idea. Does it boot and work reliably everytime so far? Absolutely!

Unbeatable, for the price
It’s insane, the speed you get for its price is absolutely great. It’s granted me a 40+ fps increase on Baldur’s Gate and has helped me in development and lighting in 3D applications. It been stable at 5.4 ghz and is amazing for games. The die is larger than the older CPUs due to its newer lga1700 chipset, so I recommend getting the ThermalRight contact frame (also have a review for it). OVERALL worth it, better if you get it on discount.

Very impressive
Very impressive CPU almost on par with the i-9 just slightly fewer e-cores which if your not an editor or creator of some sort you really won’t miss them. Gaming wise this CPU has hit all my benchmarks, with a solid score on cinebench time after time. Runs a little hot while gaming among other things roughly around 65 to 72°C at highest times, but with the right cooler you will be impressed! Does not come with stock cooler! Would recommend

Screaming fast processor that runs really hot.
I got this for a new system build even though a little higher than I like to spend. But it has performed great.After, I noticed a drop in performance and doing research, I found out that these run very very hot and the thermal protection had kicked in to throttle the processor down. I tried a few Air cooled options that did the trick, but they were too loud for me, so I ended up with a Liquid cooled option which is what I would recommend to anyone using this processor. Currently, my idle temps are around 41c and at 100% utilization, temps average around 60-70 with a quick peak of 95. I dont personally like to overclock for my own reasons, but I did do some overclocking on this for testing and everything worked great with what I did. 13th Gen blows away 12th gen. This I7 even bests the i9 12th gen. Great chip as long as you keep it cool.

Fantastic Performance/Value Workstation CPU
The i7-13700K has i7-12900K performance at an i7 range price range. Please note I used an older Z690 EVGA Classified Board. I was required to flash because older boards cannot support the new CPU yet. I suggest people who used a 12th gen chipset and were looking to upgrade follow their respective motherboard’s vendor manual. The installation was incredibly easy, and I booted the BIOS after the BIOS update without any problem. I had hit 5 GHz on the CPU without overclocking. It also supported 6000 MHz DDR5 RAM without any issues after enabling XMP. The reasonable pricing for Z690 or Z790 boards makes the i7-13700K a good combo compared to AMD’s expensive Ryzen 7000 CPUs and motherboard costs. For people who are still on older generations, the vast E cores and P cores offered by Intel’s 13th gen make it worth it to accomplish CPU-intensive tasks like Handbrake or Adobe Premiere. This CPU runs cool with a 360 mm AIO and a high airflow case (around 30-36 C idle temperature for me). I also like to note the CPU fits only fits one way and the CPU lever has a bit of tension, so don’t be afraid when installing your CPU.

As described
I was close to give them a bad review but then I found out USPS was the problem with my delivery. If possible, find another shipping method to avoid delays. Product exactly as described, much needed! Now I can finish building my pc. Thank you

Worthy Upgrade For 2023
I had a Ryzen 7 3800xt cpu for a while now so I went for a new upgrade and went for Intel for this generation. This processor works faster and better compared to what I had previously. This cpu is basicaly like an efficient i9 12900k, so if your looking for a high end processor just get this 13th gen. Also at this time the 14th gen i7 just got released but based on the reviews its more like a 13th gen Intel ks proccesor. That why I never went that route.

Powerful / cost effective CPU
Paired with my 3060ti founders edition, I have yet to run a game that seems like this combo couldn’t handle. Apart from gaming it can handle multiple instances of tasks and run them all seamlessly. This is the most powerful CPU I’ve had but it still impresses me how fast everything is and I have not seen its limits yet.

Main title needs more info
I’m sure the chip works beautifully but I had no idea the k series didn’t come with a cooler which is very upsetting for the price point. I now realize very small at the bottom of description it says no thermal cooling. Wish it said that in the main details.

Great deal after 14th gen
There is a very slight non noticeable difference between it and the i9-14900k which makes this one very good deal in terms of valueWorks great and no complaints

Feel the power
I had a 6 year old Acer TC-780 desk top with an i7-7700 cpu. Due to not able to upgrade to windows 11 and microsoft scheduled to stop supporting windows 10 October 2024. I gave myself a year to shop for a new PC Knowing Black Friday/Cyber Monday have the best prices and deals. I like the Gaming RGB astatic and after months of researching online I decided I was going to Build my next PC. Black Friday came early this year Thanks to Prime Day, and MSI Mag Z790 Tomahawk MB, and V- color DDR5 Oc 7200mhz 32g RAM, and MSI RTX4070 GPU And the Intel i7-13700K all powered from a Gamemax 1050W PSU, I have a Brand new POWERFUL Gaming PC That will serve me well in the years to come.

Very Fast in 2023
The i7 runs a bit hotter than the 13th gen i5, but I just couldn’t resist spending a bit more for those extra cores. As of 2023, it’s a razor-fast CPU for the average buyer – probably too powerful for anyone but power-users and video-editors. As for gaming, it’ll run many older games at a high FPS even without any help from a GPU, and it handles modern titles without any problems, too.It CAN run with a low-power or stock-quality cooler for daily tasks, but I’d recommend investing in water cooling if you plan to throw heavy-duty loads at it, or good-performance air cooling if you’re planning to buy it once and keep running it many years into the future.

Who needs an i9! This thing is amazing!
I built a new computer during the height of covid (Dummy, I know, right?) and decided on a i9-9900k. I’m a sysadmin by trade, so remoting in and fixing servers has never been an issue with that processor..but for gaming..Titles like Cyberpunk, Days Gone, to even WoW..there were areas that my 3080 was being bottlenecked by the 9900k.I coupled this CPU with a MSI EDGE z790 DDR4 (I have fantastic Samsung B-Die CL14 3600 DDR4 from the previous build). So far, in Cyberpunk I’m seeing 25-30 more FPS on 1440p Ultra settings w/ Raytraycing on High. WoW is getting 50+ more FPS, and I’m getting over 100 FPS in Valdrakken, where I was getting 45-50 FPS with the 9900k with the same settings as cyberpunk (1440p ultra (10 graphics settings).I’m using the Corsair iCUE H100i Elite LCD 240mm AIO, with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme thermal paste to cool this bad boy, and even at prolonged sessions in Cyberpunk, my temps are not getting above 65c. And no, I have not done the Contact Plate mod.TL;DR – This CPU is blazing fast, and if your current processor is a few years old it may very well be worth the upgrade. I don’t claim to be Steve from Gamers Nexus, or a pro CPU tester – but I can tell you that this thing is amazing, and will serve you well for years to come.

Huge upgrade from Ryzen 5800X, cut my Visual Studio/Dotfuscator compile times significantly
Nice! I upgraded from an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X to this CPU (and the components below) and I couldn’t be happier. Everything opens almost instantly, whether it be Windows 11’s File Explorer, Edge browser and webpages, and opening files in general. I upgraded primarily because I am a developer, and Visual Studio + Dotfuscator would take almost 8 minutes to compile and obfuscate my largest program on my old build. After upgrading, it now compiles in about 4 mins 45 seconds. The longest part is Dotfuscator, not Visual Studio compiling. Compiling happens in seconds on this setup.My components:
MSI MPG Z790 Carbon WiFi Gaming Motherboard
Intel Core i7-13700K Desktop Processor
(this CPU)
CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM 64GB (2x32GB) 5600MHz
MSI MPG A1000G PCIE 5 & ATX 3.0 Gaming Power Supply – Full Modular – 80 Plus Gold Certified 1000W
Corsair MP700 2TB PCIe Gen5 x4 NVMe 2.0 M.2 SSD
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Halo White CPU Air Cooler
MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Graphics Card
I don’t game much, but there is a noticeable difference loading and playing Cities: Skylines after upgrading, too.I am very happy with the new PC. Everything runs smoothly, I haven’t had a single crash running the XMP Profile in BIOS for my RAM so it runs at full speeds. This CPU blows the Ryzen 7 5800X out of the water. Check out the UserBenchmark: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X vs Intel Core i7-13700K comparison on UserBenchmark’s website for details, which is what I did before purchase. It lives up to the benchmarks for me.

Very good CPU
I wanted speed without breaking the bank and this CPU fits the bill. Runs a little hot but not too much to handle with an AIO water cooler (I use a Deepcool LT520). Pleased with my build.

Fantastic CPU & Fast
I love this chip, fast and efficient also stays cool with my 280MM AIO. I had to replace my MB and Intel i7 8th gen 8700K so got this over the i9 and could not be happier. Wish Intel would drop their prices but it is a value for what you get

Absolutely great CPU, fast, efficient, and perfect for gaming. It’s the ideal CPU for gamers, especially coming from a 9700k. I noticed drastic improvements in my gaming and I highly recommend for others. Great buy.
