★★★★★Great Chip
Great CPU. Still highly capable in today's market, and overclocks like a beast. I got this thing up to 5.00GHz at a measly 1.32V--so it's a bit of a golden chip. It is ridiculously snappy in the OS and keeps up with my 3080ti much better than before, with better 1% lows. It's a little expensive for what it is these days, but they don't make them anymore, so you're paying the deadstock prices. That being said, if you can get a 9700K for a good deal, do it. Its a super fun, super capable little chip. Prompt shipping and well packaged too.

★★★★★Basically, perfect
Expected it to come in a box, but fully capable chip for my home server. Huge improvement over the i5 that was in it.

★★★★★5 years strong with this processor giving amazing performance
Such a great processor for the price, I bought this in 2020 and I’m still more than adequate in my FPS. I’ve had no issues with processing speed and I don’t plan to upgrade anytime soon. I use my desktop daily and I get the same performance as my buddy’s 2024 build.

★★★★★Easy upgrade.
Install was simple, needed a bigger fan to handle the light bulb power requirements. Windows didn't initially recognize the upgrade, had to run msconfig as follows 1. Click Start, type “msconfig” (without the quotes) in the Start Search box and then press ENTER. 2. In the System Configuration window, click the Boot tab. 3. Click the Advanced Options button. 4. Check mark the Number of processors box. 5. Click on the 1 below to open a choice box, and click then on 2. If the choice box does not open, you don’t possess a multi-core processor and won’t be able to use this tip. 6. Click OK. 7. Windows jumps back to the system configuration window. Click “OK”. 8. You will be asked to reboot the PC. Save all open files, close all open applications, and then click Restart. The modifications will be immediately effective.
