Intel Core i9-10900

Wanted to build a powerful mini PC to run Abaqus-CAE, and I paired this CPU with Asrock Deskmini H470W because this is the most powerful CPU this barebone system can support. The H470W runs on a 120W Adapter and this I9-10900 (TDP 65W) works just fine. This little beast has the raw computing power that cut the average Abaqus analysis time by 50% compared with my other laptop sports by I5 1035G7. Yet powerful, this is still a TDP 65W CPU and the heat is very manageable for a mini PC that has less than 2 liter interior volume. I paired it with Noctua NH-L9i and the temperature is about 86 degrees C under heavy load. Below is the component list. H470W Barebone system with 120W AC adapter I9-10900CPU with Noctua NH-L9i M.2 Hynix 1TB SSD 32GB DDR4 SO-DIMM It is amazing I can add such a powerful CPU into a tiny barebone system. Very happy with this CPU, highly recommended.

I really didn't want an i9 because I had bought a Ryzen 9 3950x but after using this processor, motherboard and GPU along with my Samsung G7 Monitor my games are amazing. I did one overclocking bench mark test and was throughly impressed. I kinda like i9 now and I was never a fan before. I recommend it the chip is great!

There's also a list of my entire PC setup on my Amazon page.

This cpu is one of the best I have in my home. Currently there is an 8th gen i5, 10th gen i7, 10th gen i9, and a Ryzen 5 3600. During that time it was hard to buy CPU's and GPU's so I found a couple of products with integrated video. This i9 served its purpose and more. It is better now that I placed a small workstation card in it which works for me but is also a place holder until GPU's come back to reality. Fast CPU, makes light work of video editing and single core work like CAD. Does not see games, so cannot help there, but I am sure it would be more than enough for most users and prices are great for these.

Have absolutely nothing bad to say about this processor. People that are saying it’s not as good as the K version are looking at this wrong. This CPU uses literally half of the wattage that the K version does, while being at 5.1Ghz rather than 5.3. Do you really think you would notice a bigger difference between .2GHz vs using half of the wattage? I am still trying to find ways to utilize this processor to the max, but it destroys anything that goes at it. This processor will undoubtedly last a while for me and I would not think twice in your shoes either.

24 degrees when doing average office work but running one of my batch file processing programs kicks it up to around 48 degrees almost instantly... and it stays there till I am done. Stability is great but I may consider AMD a bit more on my next build.
