Intel Core i9-10900KF Desktop Processor 10 Cores up to 5.3 GHz Unlocked Without Processor Graphics LGA1200 (Intel 400 Series chipset) 125W

Bought it with MSI Mag z490 tomhawk and 2x16gb ram CMK32GX4M2D3600C18 . No problem, everything is good. Respect

SP 76. Nice for overclocking. Just get your voltage set before increasing cache ratio.

Great proc. My asrock board not so much.

Great for upgrading my PC, but I had to buy a new motherboard to support this CPU.

What do you want from a beefed up cpu

Such a powerful CPU. Good luck if you have poor or decent cooling system. My previous AIO wasnt able to cool this beast off, idle temp was 90°c!! So I got the NZXT Kraken x63 and now the idle temp is at 28-30°c. If you are thinking of getting this CPU I highly recommend investing in CPU cooling as well.

Excellent thermals and performance from the Cpu. Very easy to overclock - getting 5.2ghz stable with a 360mm AIO set to exhaust at 80c~ under load. A nice upgrade over my 8700k at 5.0ghz!

To be fair, I upgraded from an i7-8700; this cpu is blazing fast and ive only ever gotten up to 80% usage running 3 intensive games at once. I do have one of those beefy Noctua dual fan coolers to keep temps low and stable ( 27°C idle, in general staying around 60°C), as this heats up fast. Make sure you get a proper cooler, as a standard heatsink single fan cooler was pushing 85°C at 35% usage.

Unit manufactured incorrectly. Alignment notches are in wrong location for advertised chipset socket.

Gotta love having the excitement of unpacking new computer parts being ruined by receiving someones returned junk being sold as new and then having to drive 20 miles return it.
