The heatsink and fan that comes with it are a waste of money. The settings are sufficient for light to moderate CPU usage, but under sustained load on all 8 cores at 4, it may be problematic. If it is running at 5GHz it will be overloading the cooler pretty fast. When I used Intel's XTU stress test, it took me about 30 seconds to reach 90+C.
One core can reach a turbo speed of 4 if it has just one core. A 7GHz processor. Turbo-ing a single core is restricted to the speed at which a single core can operate safely. It is rare that all 8 cores will be running at the same speed as the "base" 3GHz since the the cores are usually dynamically throttled or sped up to maximize performance and minimize energy usage. It is best to check out the Core i7-based processors if you want to overclock the whole processor A 199700K.
The memory I have is DDR4 I'm working with it on a 3200. This is not an overclocked device.

It should not exceed 65w if the processor is operating at its base frequency, which is 3GHz. This is a 0 Ghz processor. It is possible to turbo boost 8 cores simultaneously on a system with only four cores. This would be a mini PC, and it will be running at 5 GHz but it will get incredibly hot with turbo boost enabled. I'm using a large copper heatsink with a large 92 mm Noctua L9i fan on it.
When I use RPCS3 emulator, this easily reaches 90 degrees Celsius.
On the other hand, the 8700T (35w) reaches about 60 degrees. I figured I would expect heat issues to be worse than they are, but I was surprised. It turned out that this processor wasn't for me, but this could still be a good choice for others, depending on the PC they.
The new 8-core processor is now available! There is no need to upgrade to the K version because it is very fast. Gaming with an 8-core CPU @ 5 GHz and 100% utilization on a B360M motherboard is well within the grasp of most gamers. My RTX 2080 is the perfect complement to this card. There are no bottlenecks in either process.
It's true there are faster CPUs and these are not the CPU for people who intend to overclock or redline things, but I am extremely pleased with the performance of this computer. Even when I run my small form factor build to full capacity, it runs cool, quiet, and cool. I guess I could buy a CPU that can be overclocked and squeeze out a few more percentage points of performance, but that would cause heat problems. That's not good enough for me. I love the way this CPU works as I highly recommend this book!.
There's an insane turbo boost on this thing, so I don't get it. It pulls one for each suffix. There is 2 volts available from the wall, which is relatively high for a non-powered device When gaming at 1080p on ultra settings, you can overclock your CPU. Unless you purchase a good heatsink, the one that comes with the processor will not be sufficient. It runs "cool" at 60-80 degrees. If you are playing games on full load with a good cooler, you should be fine.
Because AMD Ryzen has issues with their older chipset, the board manufacturers are not updating the BIOS on their older boards. Intel designed a whole new chipset for this 9th generation, which was smart. AMD hasn't been able to put together its stuff yet, so Intel is the way to go.
Everything is fine, but the thermal paste of the heatsink has a bit of dust on it (that comes with the heatsink).
I would love a system that can handle all of my games, and is fast enough.
A Asus Z370-E laptop is what I have There is a motherboard and it is listed as compatible, but after installing the new CPU the computer would not My troubleshooting said to update my BIOS which made sense since the one I had was from 2018 and before the 9th gen Intel CPUs were released. Immediately swapped the CPUs and updated the BIOS with the old CPU, then installed the new CPU and it booted without a problem. "- " Make sure you update your BIOS before you install the new CPU
- If you replace RAM along with a hard drive, you won't know what's not working if the boot fails. I realize it's more work to boot up in between things, but if you do both at once, you'll never know what's wrong. Please note Make sure you have your old chip on hand in case there are any issues and you need to swap it out. It's a good idea not to use too much conductive paste. The video said to use a drop the size of a grain of rice, and that seems right to me. It spreads everywhere when there is too much. I found the installation to be quite simple. Although I tried several times to get the orientation right, I was only able to get it to fit I found the hardest part to be finding and downloading the BIOS from the ASUS website, and attaching the Coolermaster radiator and fan to the top of the board. There is one note to be made The motherboard came with video on it, but the HDMI out stopped working. It is not an issue since I use the HDMI and DVI out from a 1070 video card.
Bottom line it was an Games run somewhat faster and with better frame rates and there is no sign of overheating. This is the kind of recommendation I'd make.
