Excelente procesador para juegos
Excelente opcion para juegos, hice un update desde un i3 12100f y la diferencia es extrema, puedo jugar los titulos mas modernos en configuraciones de graficos maximos y sin embargo no se utiliza mas del 60% del procesador, lo uso en conjunto con un disipador vetroo v5 y las temperaturas maximas que tengo son de 56 grados en juegos demandantes.Justo como dice la descripcion no incluye disipador de stock, sin embargo es necesario adquirir un disipador mejor que el de stock de intel, sobre todo si planeas realizar overclock.En resumen, es de las mejores opciones para juegos y uso general.

Nice CPU. This replaces my old 4790K pc, and what an amazing difference and a pleasant surprise performance-wise! It runs cool (64 degrees) during stress tests and gaming, and it is stable to 5.1 GHz. Haven't tried to push it, but have little doubt there is sufficient headroom to OC further. This has turned out to be an outstanding CPU. I recommend this CPU to anyone interested in a low-cost, low-heat, and stable performance.

Purchased for $150 for Cyber Monday 2023 and it's been excellent. In Cyberpunk 2077, with Ray Tracing on and a mix of ultra/high settings, I've reached 60-120 FPS (usually hovering between 70-90) with a Gigabyte Eagle 4060. I've hit 500+ FPS in League of Legends, and with V-Sync on, I've had no noticeable drop from 165 FPS. On sale, this is an excellent processor and an INCREDIBLE upgrade from my previous 9400f which was and still is a very capable processor. Temps are very stable with a Peerless Assassin cooler; I don't believe I've reached or exceeded 60 degrees Celsius. I haven't overclocked yet - if I even will, because current performance is excellent - but I've read that this processor overclocks a fair amount.

Went right into the LGA1700 chip socket with no muss, no fuss. Booted right up and the new motherboard took to it like it was designed for it -- which it was. I needed the K with the integrated graphics and that's what I got. I'm using the Zalman cooler (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CCT11BXV?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) and I haven't had any issues yet.

System posted and my temps are staying low while overclocked. Everything has been stable so far, gaming and home use shouldn't be a problem at all 👍🏼

5.0 out of 5 stars Great CPU

Pretty standard Intel CPU, great performance at a decent price, just keep in mind its a K variant thus needs a aftermarket CPU fan because this CPU is a very power hungry beast.

A good product doesn't need an explanation. I have always trusted this store and every purchase is without any problems. This Intel core is really user-friendly, it won't make my computer overheat, and the storage space is also very sufficient

This little beast is on par with new Ryzen 7700X and can handle all games 144 FPS if you pair it with a 4080. Hands down best CPU on 2022 and still rocking on 2023-2024

O processador é maravilhoso, um verdadeiro monstrinho, bala para jogos e multitarefas, e ao contrário do que dizem é um processador vem frio, estou muito satisfeito!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Powerful little chip
Reviewed in Canada on January 30, 2024

We are so pleased with the results we are getting from this processor. My son recently built a gaming PC for his little sister. She mostly plays fortnight, minecraft, Hogwarts legacy etc and she plays on high settings while screen sharing in discord for the fam, and using OBS to record her gameplay no problem. We are very happy with the speed and temps we are getting from this i5. Glad we chose this affordable & reliable chip. Will probably upgrade in a few years when she’s playing more demanding games.

5.0 out of 5 stars Esemplare difettoso
Reviewed in Italy on March 26, 2024

Processore davvero fenomenale, sbloccato e probabilmente in grado di fornire prestazioni ancora superiori.
Tutto molto bello se non fosse che almeno in questo esemplare non c'è stato verso di far funzionare la prima corsia PciE 16X e quindi risultato è stato completamente inutile, sicuramente per il gaming. Ho provato su tre schede madri differenti, b760 e z690, in tutti i casi e settaggi del bios non è stato possibile utilizzare il primo slot.

Mentre gli altri slot venivano utilizzati correttamente e, ad esempio, nel secondo slot pciE la scheda video veniva riconosciuta, ma finzionava solo a gen3 X8. Capirete però che usare una scheda video da magari 600€ a un quarto della sua potenzialità è inaccettabile.

Ottima Amazon come sempre nell'effettuare il reso. Sfortuna, ogni tanto capita.

Processeur avec un tarif assez élevé quand même mais qui fera son boulot pour les années à venir sans broncher. Extrêmement rapide, on regrette quand même qu’au vu du tarif qu’aucun ventirad ne soit vendu avec même pour dépanner.
Prix moins cher qu’ailleurs, je recommande
