Nice upgrade
Because video cards are so expensive this year, I could only update the RAM and CPU on my rig this year. I have an ASUS Z370-A motherboard and itâs listed as compatible, but when I installed the new CPU the computer didnât boot. Troubleshooting said to update the BIOS which made sense because the BIOS I had was from 2018 before 9th gen Intel CPUs. Swapped the CPUs and updated the BIOS with the old CPU and then reinstalled the new CPU and it booted perfectly.- Be sure to update your BIOS before you install the new CPU- Only replace one thing at a time. I know itâs more work to boot up in between, but if you replace RAM, too, you wonât know whatâs not working if the boot fails.- Keep your old chip handy in case something goes wrong and you need to swap it out- Donât put too much conductive paste on the back. One instruction video said a drop about the size of a grain of rice. That seems right. Too much and it gets everywhere.Overall, installation was pretty easy. It took me a couple of tries to get the orientation correct, but it only fits on one way. The hardest part, really was finding and downloading the BIOS on the ASUS website and attaching the Coolermaster radiator and fan over the top.One note: This CPU comes with video but the HDMI out on the motherboard stopped working, Itâs not an issue because I use the HDMI and DVI out from a 1070 video card.Bottom line: it was a good upgrade. My games run moderately faster with better frame rate and nothing seems to be running hotter. Iâd recommend.

Straightforward Installation – No documentation at all
This processor arrived a day early and was very well packaged. However, the first thing I noticed upon getting to the actual product package was the phrase: “This is not Intel Original Packaging” emblazoned on the side. That prompted me to do some research on the Intel site where I found out that this product has been discontinued, even though the Amazon product description list said: “Discontinued by Manufacturer – No”.I decided not to quibble on that point (after all, this is a 9th Generation product, and the current line is up to 14th Generation) and proceeded to install it with no problems at all. The entire process took all of 15 minutes, with most of that time taken up by prepping my work area and disconnecting the wires from the PC. I was also surprised to discover that the thermal paste was already applied to the fan, taking the guesswork out of applying it myself.If you are expecting to get any installation instructions or product specifications, you will be disappointed, as this package included none of that at all. You will need to consult YouTube or the Intel Support website for help in that regard.I am not a gamer, but I felt that the i5 processor I was currently running in my kit PC was beginning to labor under the load of all my photography processing, spreadsheet manipulation, website building, and word processing, so it was time. A recent memory upgrade doubled my RAM to 32GB, and this completed the current round of beefing up my workhorse PC.I have no reason not to recommend this item, especially at the current price.

Work great
I’m upgrading my Intel i5 9400 to an Intel i7 9700 for PCVR games like Stormland, Lone Echo, Asgard’s Wrath, and Half Life Alyx which has some annoying lag. My GPU is a GTX 1650 super. The processor was very easy to installed. This version came with a stocked Intel cooling fan with cooling gel pre-applied. After the drivers were installed I couldn’t tell the difference at first while web browsing , watching movies, and non-VR games played just like with the i5. Were it shined was the VR games. The lag was almost completely gone with some graphical improvements on all games mentioned above. The graphics on auto settings still are low on some games and high on others because of my GPU, but the games played smoother. I would recommend for PCVR or video editing users but not for normal tasks like web browsing, movies, or normal gaming I would not recommend.

Smooth power – non k is more than enough
Saved 40 dollars opting for this non-k cpu. Paired with my 120mm cpu mounted cooler fan, this processor sits at 4.5ghz ice cold. There is no need to spend the extra money on the k version, unless youâre really wanting to squeeze a tiny bit of extra performance, save the money. I have this paired with 32gbâs of 3000mhz speed Corsair vengeance ram and an msi z390 gaming carbon pro board, so I could turbo boost up to 4.7 via the motherboard bios but have left it at default settings. Paired with my 8GB rtx 2070 Iâve never felt more comfortable with triple a gaming, just buy it already if youâre looking to jump into powerful performance gaming with a bang for your buck value.
Pretty good works well –
It needs to be installed
Recommend did my good service

estaba bien, todo en orden
estoy usando un cooler no de stock

retail package, works great, included heatsink is average (and not used)
easy to install, fast, and runs cool. ordered with Noctua HSF assembly which is massive overkill for this system, as it won’t be overclocked or used for games (i just want to avoid obsolescence). runs at 80 degrees F or less in a corsair 650 D case and the system is pretty quiet.

Alles top.

this thing is in beast mode all the time baby. Seriously I’m impressed by the performance – I know its near top of the core line but even then it was impressive. The included cooler is really unintuitive to install – it was easy for sure but the supports have a weird twisting mechanism that is completely counter-intuitive (arrows out means tighten, arrows in means loose?). Besides that though she flies. Doesn’t get too hot once you get a better cooler – I installed the included cooler until I got my new one and it was a bit loud and didn’t do a great job cooling – though it is still sufficient you’re gonna want something better :).

So far all good, it is been 4 months, all going great, while doing video editing can hear a small sound, it completes in few seconds.

If you’re someone that’s looking for a 9th series i7 here are some differences between the cpus that might not be as obvious.i7 9700- All core boost clock 4.4Ghz- Single core boost clock 4.7Ghz- Base core clock 3.0Ghz- 12MB Cache- TDP 65wi7 9700K (Stock)- All core boost clock 4.6Ghz- Single core boost clock 4.9Ghz- Base core clock 3.6Ghz- 12 MB Cache- TDP 95wSome things to keep in mindTDP ratings are done while the CPU is running at a sustained base clock speed, that would explain the TDP of the i7 9700K being much higher at 3.6Ghz base. This is a little misleading since clock for clock the cpus should perform the same and I feel like neither should be put under a stock intel cooler even though they might come with one.When I fit my i7 9700 the turbo power max defaulted to 65w this meant that under a 100% load the all core boost was only 3.8Ghz. The easiest way to change this is to download Intel XTU and turn up your Turbo Boost Power Max (I set mine to 150w making the CPU hit a TDP of around 100w) and now the all core boost sits at 4.4Ghz. Do this at your own risk and I beg you donât do this if youâre using the stock cooler leave it at 65w, you have been warned.If you want to overclock you on have one choice, the i7 9700KIf youâre not planning to overclock probably go for i7 9700
