Non of the 13/14th gen issues, granted it’s not as fast but I prefer reliable products. Absolutely solid upgrade from my old i7-4790k. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overkill for me and Most. *by on Reviewed in the United States 6 May 2024* This started a new PC build for me when it was on sale for $320. I haven't built a PC since 2007, so it has changed a bit since then. This thing runs hot at full load. Watch gamers nexus on YouTube. It will pull a solid 250+ watts running cinebench. I'm using an Arctic Freezer 2 420mm with a thermal grizzly contact frame and kryonaut, and it will load up to 80 degrees almost instantly without throttling but drop immediately to 25-30 degrees when the load stops. This is with ambient at 22 degrees.This thing is brutally fast, though, and in reality, outside of load testing it, I have rarely seen it go over 30% usage. The more recent i5 and i7 processors can more or less be equal in most use cases. i5 13/14600, i7 13/14700.This processor is still top-tier and will be for a few years to come. 12th gen i-series processors were a game-changer, the 13th-gen improved on them a bit with more e-cores, and the 14th-gen is looking like a stop-gap to the next big thing.You won't be disappointed; make sure to keep it cool. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 13、14世代特有ののバグを回避するため *by on Reviewed in Japan 25 March 2026* あえて型遅れのCPUを選択。1年ほど毎日使用していますが安定性は抜群です。 ## Frequently Bought Together - Intel Core i9 (12th Gen) i9-12900KS Gaming Desktop Processor with Integrated Graphics and Hexadeca-core (16 Core) 2.50 GHz - SAMSUNG 990 PRO SSD NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4, M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Hard Drive, Seq.
