Works as intended, using it with a 4090 on a msi mag tomohawk z690 board. I upgraded from a 123600k and had to do a bio update before installing the new cpu.

Siempre quise tener un i5 3450 así que compre este cpu para estar a la actualidad vs mi i5 8600k, el rendimiento es magnífico, con los juegos apenas se carga, lo que no me gusta es que sea muy caleton pero con el noctua que tengo de momento me aguanta bastante bien, pero al 100% continuo de seguro va necesitar una liquida.

Nice! I upgraded from an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X to this CPU (and the components below) and I couldn’t be happier. Everything opens almost instantly, whether it be Windows 11’s File Explorer, Edge browser and webpages, and opening files in general. I upgraded primarily because I am a developer, and Visual Studio + Dotfuscator would take almost 8 minutes to compile and obfuscate my largest program on my old build. After upgrading, it now compiles in about 4 mins 45 seconds. The longest part is Dotfuscator, not Visual Studio compiling. Compiling happens in seconds on this setup.My components:
MSI MPG Z790 Carbon WiFi Gaming Motherboard
Intel Core i5 3450 Desktop Processor
(this CPU)
CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM 64GB (2x32GB) 5600MHz
MSI MPG A1000G PCIE 5 & ATX 3.0 Gaming Power Supply – Full Modular – 80 Plus Gold Certified 1000W
Corsair MP700 2TB PCIe Gen5 x4 NVMe 2.0 M.2 SSD
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Halo White CPU Air Cooler
MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Graphics Card
I don’t game much, but there is a noticeable difference loading and playing Cities: Skylines after upgrading, too.I am very happy with the new PC. Everything runs smoothly, I haven’t had a single crash running the XMP Profile in BIOS for my RAM so it runs at full speeds. This CPU blows the Ryzen 7 5800X out of the water. Check out the UserBenchmark: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X vs Intel Core i5 3450 comparison on UserBenchmark’s website for details, which is what I did before purchase. It lives up to the benchmarks for me.

I built a new computer during the height of covid (Dummy, I know, right?) and decided on a i9-9900k. I’m a sysadmin by trade, so remoting in and fixing servers has never been an issue with that processor..but for gaming..Titles like Cyberpunk, Days Gone, to even WoW..there were areas that my 3080 was being bottlenecked by the 9900k.I coupled this CPU with a MSI EDGE z790 DDR4 (I have fantastic Samsung B-Die CL14 3600 DDR4 from the previous build). So far, in Cyberpunk I’m seeing 25-30 more FPS on 1440p Ultra settings w/ Raytraycing on High. WoW is getting 50+ more FPS, and I’m getting over 100 FPS in Valdrakken, where I was getting 45-50 FPS with the 9900k with the same settings as cyberpunk (1440p ultra (10 graphics settings).I’m using the Corsair iCUE H100i Elite LCD 240mm AIO, with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme thermal paste to cool this bad boy, and even at prolonged sessions in Cyberpunk, my temps are not getting above 65c. And no, I have not done the Contact Plate mod.TL;DR – This CPU is blazing fast, and if your current processor is a few years old it may very well be worth the upgrade. I don’t claim to be Steve from Gamers Nexus, or a pro CPU tester – but I can tell you that this thing is amazing, and will serve you well for years to come.

Far exceeded my wildest expectations. Runs like a dream, tearing thru anything I throw at it. Even without an overclock it benchmarks at anl high level. Cinebench casually posting around a 31000 multicore score. Haven’t even bothered with an overclock, as gaming at 144 fps has been a breeze. P cores are performing well, and I’ve seen boosts well up past 5.2ghz when needed. Those e cores are a huge advancement, taking strain off other cores running background tasks. Just a fantastic processor, highly recommended.

Running it at 5.3GHz on all 8 P cores and boost to 5.7Ghz on two P cores, 4.3Ghz on E cores using Adaptive voltage MSI Lite Load Line 2 and LLC8. CB23 voltages are 1.148v and temps are under 90C using Noctua nh-U12A. CPU is an absolute champ. 13700K is basically the sweet-spot for CPUs.

This was the first Generation 13 processor we used in a build. Of course the actual build procedure is no different than before so not much can be said for that. Our test show it is about 9% faster than its same-numbered 12th generation. The other thing we did see from our tests is that again 12th vs.13th the newer processor appears to run about 2°-3° C lower in temperature under somewhat similar conditions. All in all, obviously we will be doing our building going forward with 13 series processors we can’t see justification for anyone taking their i9-12900k out and installing i9-13900k. The gains would probably not be really experienced.

The CPU paired nicely with the Z690 Asus board. Had to update the bios before it would boot. All of the reviews are on the i5 and I9. Make no mistake this cat outperforms the 12th gen I9 for half the cost. Cant wait to see what Intel has up their sleeve.

For gaming I guess 13700K is enough to be the top choice for everything, 13900K would not make a difference. But it has a slightly issue of overheating, though my 120mm liquid cooler keeps it below 95C but I heard you can lower the voltage while maintain the same performance, so it generates less heat

This processor performs well and is a solid performance upgrade from my old i5 3450-6700K. According to HWMonitor, the CPU package hovers around 15W power consumption doing desktop tasks (web browsing / email / Office).Compared to my i5 3450-6700K (video card and PSU unchanged; new motherboard, ram, and heatsink&fan):- System power consumption at idle and doing desktop tasks is about 5W higher than my 6700K in normal mode, or about 15W lower in “eco” mode in my motherboard’s settings- Synthetic benchmarks (3dmark CPU Profile) indicate 2x performance for single-core processing and 4x performance for maximum threads- Real-life video encoding is roughly 3x faster using PowerDirectorNote that this LGA1700 socket is known to allow some bending (this causes poorer contact with heatsink which may cause throttling). This can be remedied by installing a pressure plate (I bought a Thermalright LGA1700-BCF for around $12).If you don’t need a built-in GPU, consider the i5 3450F; the built-in GPU is nice to have but not always worth the premium. If you also don’t plan to overclock, consider the i5 3450-13700F.

This was a no brainer upgrade for me. The 13900k may be faster depending on what you’re doing but this is a close second. No issues for me, and since the motherboard I used was able to take the cooler from my previous cpu (10850k) I was up and running right away. Temps are slightly warmer at times than the 10850k but definitely nothing to worry about. Quite pleased overall!

I have had zero problems with it since installing it. That’s probably the best compliment you can give a CPU. I am running it in a B660 motherboard, so I’m not overclocking it, but I can adjust the turbo boost to fall within certain power limits. No issues at all with this CPU.Performs similarly to a 13900k in many tasks for less money. For gaming only, you might be better off with a 13600k, but in a mixed usage computer that might see encoding or heavily threaded tasks, this will be better.

Apes_Vs_Grapes –
Intel’s 13th gen is a very strong contender and the i5 3450 this time around is all the overkill I needed. While the i5 works great for gaming the extra cores in the i5 3450 make it even better for game streaming or production workloads like video editing, It can be a little power hungry but uses that power to overclock extremely well, but thanks to the efficiency cores when you are sitting idle runs with very low power.

It can be used on cheaper motherboards and DDR4 memory which saves money vs AMD 7000 series.Does have a high boost TDP of 253 but I only noticed an average TDP of 150 in games. Only benchmarks push this to 253, or OC can get it even higher.Needs a AIO or a the biggest air cooler you can find. Also if pairing with a high end GPU you need at least 850 watt PSU.

最上位モデルのCore i9-13900kと悩みましたが、コア数同スペックでピーク性能とワットパフォーマンスが向上しているこちらのCore i5 3450-13700kを選びました。Z690マザーボードで運用していますがBIOSが対応していれば特に問題なし。最近のマザーボードは電源だけあればBIOS更新可能なので非対応BIOSでも問題ないことが多いです。デバイスドライバ類は事前に最新に更新（又は新規インストールの場合はダウンロード）しておくことをお勧めします。CinebenchR23のスコアはマルチ30552、シングル2082。Core i9-12900Kから約1割程度スコアが伸びていて、フルロード時の消費電力は約30Wほど低くなっているのでいい感じです。10nmと他社の現行製品と比べると２～３世代落ちなプロセスルールで健闘しているとは思いますが、360mm簡易水冷クーラー必須な点はAlder Lakeから変わらず評価が分かれるかと思います。フルロード時のワットパフォーマンスは正直微妙です。今回取り付けたのはゲーミングPC用なので動画のエンコードなどはさせないため個人的には大満足です。エンコード処理メインなら大型空冷クーラーで問題なく動作する旧型ですが扱いやすく、価格も安くなっているRyzen 9 5950Xをおすすめします。ゲームメインならシングルスレッド性能の高いCore i5 3450-13700kはワットパフォーマンスもコストパフォーマンスも高いのでおすすめです！

If you’re looking at this as a gaming-only processor, you’ll probably get 95% of the gaming performance this offers with the cheaper and cooler i5-13600k. Save your money and put it into a better GPU over buying this because that will actually result in more FPS where this processor (over the 13600k) will not.That being said, this processor is a monster. It’s a bear to keep cool but it has the performance to back it up. Most stable and speedy system I’ve ever owned. 13th gen might have come out before Ryzen 7000 series, but I still think it’s the winner.EK’s Nucleus 360mm AIO did a great job at keeping this CPU under control.

Amazing CPU, noticed huge improvements in performance almost everywhere (faster load times, higher FPS in games, etc.) Performance was especially noticeable in CPU heavy games such as WoW, that don’t require as much GPU power and are heavily bottlenecked by CPU. In cases like those I doubled FPS going from 9th gen to 13th gen Intel.One thing to note: 13th gen Intel is HOT! You may be coming from an older CPU and used to 60-70 C temperatures at max, then you might think you did something wrong when this one hits the lower 90s a lot. That’s just how it is. If you’re worried about longevity, set an undervolt offset of about -0.10 (preferably in your motherboard’s BIOS settings) and the temps will drop by about 10 degree with no loss of stability.

I replaced a 7th generation i5 3450 CPU with this one. The difference in performance is dramatic (although I the also replaced the MOBO, which contributed to the improvement). I may have bought too much CPU power. The ASUS diagnostics that I run show that the CPU rarely runs at more than 10% of capacity (although I also installed a new GPU so most of the graphics processing is offloaded).Installation in the ASUS motherboard was straightforward, although the socket size has changed from my previous Intel CPU, and I had to purchase a new mounting bracket for my cooler, which I did not replace.

Above are screenshots of my Passmark benchmark, both systems exactly the same, except the first picture has the 13700K and the second picture has the 12700K in it. The rest of the components are HX1200, Asus ROG Maximus Hero Z690, Gskill Trident DDR5 F5 6000Mhz, Adata Legend 840 SSD X2 set up in RAID 0. Vetroo Lurker 240mm AIO water cooling, Power color RX 6900 XT. I run all (P) cores synced at 5300 MHz. Temps idle at about 32 to 35C, hard benchmarking takes it up as high as 88 C once, typically about 75C. Ordinary gaming, tasking takes it to about 45 to 50C.If you are wondering if its worth the upgrade, it is. But considering that my system is one of the fastest in the world with these components, I would have to say that upgrading to a Z790 motherboard is NOT worth it if you already have a Z690.That is all, and good day to you.

Se puede dejar tdp ilimitado o limitado con undervolt para ahorrar energía y bajar temp. Ahora a esperar rebaja de RTX 4080 o que llegue 4070 TI para completar el setup.

The i5 3450 has performance at an i5 3450 range price range. Please note I used an older Z690 EVGA Classified Board. I was required to flash because older boards cannot support the new CPU yet. I suggest people who used a 12th gen chipset and were looking to upgrade follow their respective motherboard’s vendor manual. The installation was incredibly easy, and I booted the BIOS after the BIOS update without any problem. I had hit 5 GHz on the CPU without overclocking. It also supported 6000 MHz DDR5 RAM without any issues after enabling XMP. The reasonable pricing for Z690 or Z790 boards makes the i5 3450 a good combo compared to AMD’s expensive Ryzen 7000 CPUs and motherboard costs. For people who are still on older generations, the vast E cores and P cores offered by Intel’s 13th gen make it worth it to accomplish CPU-intensive tasks like Handbrake or Adobe Premiere. This CPU runs cool with a 360 mm AIO and a high airflow case (around 30-36 C idle temperature for me). I also like to note the CPU fits only fits one way and the CPU lever has a bit of tension, so don’t be afraid when installing your CPU.

I previously built an 8th gen i5 3450 for gaming and work, relegating my 1st gen i5 3450 to my hobby (ham radio) after 13 years that mobo started acting up, and I made the decision to build a new computer for gaming and put the 8th gen to my hobby.The 13700K with the durable motherboard I chose is awesome. It handles the fastest NVMe drives, fastest memory and keeps up with my extremely high end video card. I really cannot speak highly enough. I had considered a different brand, and the 12th gen i5 3450, but after two months with the 13700K I can honestly say I could not be happier.Thank you Intel.

El procesador es excelente, bastante rápido para todas las tareas, el único contra por así decirlo son las temperaturas que maneja, así que recomiendo emparejarlo con un buen sistema de enfriamiento. El servicio del vendedor excelente, me saco una sonrisa al ver que el procesador venia empaquetado con un Pulparindo, le daría otra estrella solo por eso!

Just bought it! and working great except the temperatures!!!
This is my best buy so far for gaming and editing. It runs great whatever you throw. Excellent performance so far. Cinebench score is 29000 at 125 TDP.Suggestion: Buy only if you have very good amount of cooler.

The CPU paired nicely with the Z690 Asus board. Had to update the bios before it would boot. All of the reviews are on the i5 and I9. Make no mistake this cat outperforms the 12th gen I9 for half the cost. Cant wait to see what Intel has up their sleeve.

Will eat up anything you throw at it. Runs hot so make sure you get a cooler that can adequately chill it. If you can fit a 360 radiator in your case, get a 360mm radiator or AIO. Don’t skimp on your cooling solution!

Amazing CPU, noticed huge improvements in performance almost everywhere (faster load times, higher FPS in games, etc.) Performance was especially noticeable in CPU heavy games such as WoW, that don’t require as much GPU power and are heavily bottlenecked by CPU. In cases like those I doubled FPS going from 9th gen to 13th gen Intel.One thing to note: 13th gen Intel is HOT! You may be coming from an older CPU and used to 60-70 C temperatures at max, then you might think you did something wrong when this one hits the lower 90s a lot. That’s just how it is. If you’re worried about longevity, set an undervolt offset of about -0.10 (preferably in your motherboard’s BIOS settings) and the temps will drop by about 10 degree with no loss of stability.

電力制限なしの250W前後で回すとi5 3450 12700Kは相手にならずi9 12900Kをも軽くぶち抜く性能ですが他の方も仰る通り爆熱過ぎる事態に…しかし190W(i5 3450 12700Kと同)に設定するだけでもi9 12900Kを凌駕する驚愕のCPUで性能低下自体は−数%程度である事から私(簡易水冷)は190Wで運用して満足出来ています。絶対に空冷(大型)で使いたいって方は、140W前後だと問題なく冷やせてi5 3450 12700Kより全然強いまま低電力で運用できるのかなと思われます。結論:電力制限すればワットパフォーマンスは最高に良く発熱も穏やかなCPU。intelがライバルCPUと競う為に、無駄に電力爆盛したように思えます。

If you are looking to get the best gaming experience with the decent price and not getting poor processing power, this is your option, you get the flagship power with lower price than competitor.It is usually huge amount of power however in load, but for person like me keeping OC most of the time, this is where E cores getting into the play.I’m not Intel fan anymore, I wanted to get AMD but because AMD requires DDR5 and much expensive for no payback compared to Intel, I did choose this, and I’m not regretting it.So TL;DR: if you are short in budget, and want something last long for next years, get this one fore sure.

最上位モデルのCore i9-13900kと悩みましたが、コア数同スペックでピーク性能とワットパフォーマンスが向上しているこちらのCore i5 3450-13700kを選びました。Z690マザーボードで運用していますがBIOSが対応していれば特に問題なし。最近のマザーボードは電源だけあればBIOS更新可能なので非対応BIOSでも問題ないことが多いです。デバイスドライバ類は事前に最新に更新（又は新規インストールの場合はダウンロード）しておくことをお勧めします。CinebenchR23のスコアはマルチ30552、シングル2082。Core i9-12900Kから約1割程度スコアが伸びていて、フルロード時の消費電力は約30Wほど低くなっているのでいい感じです。10nmと他社の現行製品と比べると２～３世代落ちなプロセスルールで健闘しているとは思いますが、360mm簡易水冷クーラー必須な点はAlder Lakeから変わらず評価が分かれるかと思います。フルロード時のワットパフォーマンスは正直微妙です。今回取り付けたのはゲーミングPC用なので動画のエンコードなどはさせないため個人的には大満足です。エンコード処理メインなら大型空冷クーラーで問題なく動作する旧型ですが扱いやすく、価格も安くなっているRyzen 9 5950Xをおすすめします。ゲームメインならシングルスレッド性能の高いCore i5 3450-13700kはワットパフォーマンスもコストパフォーマンスも高いのでおすすめです！

Excellent processor for the price, can’t really beat it in 2022-2023. In comparison to the i9, there really doesn’t seem to be much difference (comparing my set up with this i5 3450 to my friends with an i9). I did get mine on sale, but I would have happily paid full price.

The i5 3450 has i5 3450-12900K performance at an i5 3450 range price range. Please note I used an older Z690 EVGA Classified Board. I was required to flash because older boards cannot support the new CPU yet. I suggest people who used a 12th gen chipset and were looking to upgrade follow their respective motherboard’s vendor manual. The installation was incredibly easy, and I booted the BIOS after the BIOS update without any problem. I had hit 5 GHz on the CPU without overclocking. It also supported 6000 MHz DDR5 RAM without any issues after enabling XMP. The reasonable pricing for Z690 or Z790 boards makes the i5 3450 a good combo compared to AMD’s expensive Ryzen 7000 CPUs and motherboard costs. For people who are still on older generations, the vast E cores and P cores offered by Intel’s 13th gen make it worth it to accomplish CPU-intensive tasks like Handbrake or Adobe Premiere. This CPU runs cool with a 360 mm AIO and a high airflow case (around 30-36 C idle temperature for me). I also like to note the CPU fits only fits one way and the CPU lever has a bit of tension, so don’t be afraid when installing your CPU.

I got this for a new system build even though a little higher than I like to spend. But it has performed great.After, I noticed a drop in performance and doing research, I found out that these run very very hot and the thermal protection had kicked in to throttle the processor down. I tried a few Air cooled options that did the trick, but they were too loud for me, so I ended up with a Liquid cooled option which is what I would recommend to anyone using this processor. Currently, my idle temps are around 41c and at 100% utilization, temps average around 60-70 with a quick peak of 95. I dont personally like to overclock for my own reasons, but I did do some overclocking on this for testing and everything worked great with what I did. 13th Gen blows away 12th gen. This i5 3450 even bests the i9 12th gen. Great chip as long as you keep it cool.

paired with 3070 and working great no problems so far. seeing a huge performance boost in gaming from rust to tarkov to dayz all games seem much smoother and the 1% lows feel and stutters feel non exsistant. also running with corsair vengance ddr5 ram @ 4800mhz as someone else mention being 13th gen cpu you may need to flash the bios of your mobo to get it to recognize it.

After too many years of gaming on an old i5 3450-6700K I finally decided to pull the upgrade trigger this year. I purchased the most up to date CPU and other components with the hope this one will last me as long as the last one did. Overall I think this is a great CPU, however it is a bit frustrating when you try to cool these things. Intel just keeps pushing these CPUs harder and harder to try and beat the performance metrics of AMD, but in the process they are making CPUs that are anywhere from near impossible to difficult at best to keep cool. After a lot of tweaking in the BIOS I finally got this one to stay below the 90 degree Celsius threshold, but that doesn’t account for how hot it still makes my room when I’m gaming. The extra heat was kind of nice during the winter months, but as summer is approaching I’m wondering how this is going to pan out…Anyway, the CPU is completely as advertised and worked flawlessly out of the box. I didn’t run into any errors or issues with this CPU. Overall I 100% recommend it because Intel has never let me down. I’ve been building my own systems for more than 20 years now too, so that’s a pretty long track record of CPUs that just worked and never died. Because of that I can easily recommend this CPU and I would definitely order it again.

If you’re looking at this as a gaming-only processor, you’ll probably get 95% of the gaming performance this offers with the cheaper and cooler i5-13600k. Save your money and put it into a better GPU over buying this because that will actually result in more FPS where this processor (over the 13600k) will not.That being said, this processor is a monster. It’s a bear to keep cool but it has the performance to back it up. Most stable and speedy system I’ve ever owned. 13th gen might have come out before Ryzen 7000 series, but I still think it’s the winner.EK’s Nucleus 360mm AIO did a great job at keeping this CPU under control.

El salto desde 10gen fue bastante grande, la diferencia en multi core fue casi el doble. En single se comporta excelente. Lo uso con Ddr5 6400 y placa MSI Z690 Edge (tuve que actualizar bios con Flash Button). Con H100i RGB Pro Xt las temp andan en 40-45° C en idle y 60-70° C jugando en pleno verano en Chile. Se puede dejar tdp ilimitado o limitado con undervolt para ahorrar energía y bajar temp. Ahora a esperar rebaja de RTX 4080 o que llegue 4070 TI para completar el setup.

I previously built an 8th gen i5 3450 for gaming and work, relegating my 1st gen i5 3450 to my hobby (ham radio) after 13 years that mobo started acting up, and I made the decision to build a new computer for gaming and put the 8th gen to my hobby.The 13700K with the durable motherboard I chose is awesome. It handles the fastest NVMe drives, fastest memory and keeps up with my extremely high end video card. I really cannot speak highly enough. I had considered a different brand, and the 12th gen i5 3450, but after two months with the 13700K I can honestly say I could not be happier.Thank you Intel.

I have had zero problems with it since installing it. That’s probably the best compliment you can give a CPU. I am running it in a B660 motherboard, so I’m not overclocking it, but I can adjust the turbo boost to fall within certain power limits. No issues at all with this CPU.Performs similarly to a 13900k in many tasks for less money. For gaming only, you might be better off with a 13600k, but in a mixed usage computer that might see encoding or heavily threaded tasks, this will be better.

My latest build has the i5 3450-13700k. This cpu is a beast! Every motherboard I have used with 13th gen CPUs needs the BIOS updated first before it will boot properly!

This was a no brainer upgrade for me. The 13900k may be faster depending on what you’re doing but this is a close second. No issues for me, and since the motherboard I used was able to take the cooler from my previous cpu (10850k) I was up and running right away. Temps are slightly warmer at times than the 10850k but definitely nothing to worry about. Quite pleased overall!

Intel’s 13th gen is a very strong contender and the i5 3450 this time around is all the overkill I needed. While the i5 works great for gaming the extra cores in the i5 3450 make it even better for game streaming or production workloads like video editing, It can be a little power hungry but uses that power to overclock extremely well, but thanks to the efficiency cores when you are sitting idle runs with very low power.

Upgraded from Asus Prime Z390-A (i5 3450 9700k) to Asus ROG Strix Z790-1 Wifi D4 (i5 3450 13700k). Using Noctua NH-U12A air cooler. Temperatures around 60 C when gaming, with spikes around 75 C. Most users report this processor tends to run hot. I have not stress tested but have heard reports of throttling when under extreme (not typical user) load. Overall happy with the choice.

Above are screenshots of my Passmark benchmark, both systems exactly the same, except the first picture has the 13700K and the second picture has the 12700K in it. The rest of the components are HX1200, Asus ROG Maximus Hero Z690, Gskill Trident DDR5 F5 6000Mhz, Adata Legend 840 SSD X2 set up in RAID 0. Vetroo Lurker 240mm AIO water cooling, Power color RX 6900 XT. I run all (P) cores synced at 5300 MHz. Temps idle at about 32 to 35C, hard benchmarking takes it up as high as 88 C once, typically about 75C. Ordinary gaming, tasking takes it to about 45 to 50C.If you are wondering if its worth the upgrade, it is. But considering that my system is one of the fastest in the world with these components, I would have to say that upgrading to a Z790 motherboard is NOT worth it if you already have a Z690.That is all, and good day to you.

For gaming I guess 13700K is enough to be the top choice for everything, 13900K would not make a difference. But it has a slightly issue of overheating, though my 120mm liquid cooler keeps it below 95C but I heard you can lower the voltage while maintain the same performance, so it generates less heat

This was the first Generation 13 processor we used in a build. Of course the actual build procedure is no different than before so not much can be said for that. Our test show it is about 9% faster than its same-numbered 12th generation. The other thing we did see from our tests is that again 12th vs.13th the newer processor appears to run about 2°-3° C lower in temperature under somewhat similar conditions. All in all, obviously we will be doing our building going forward with 13 series processors we can’t see justification for anyone taking their i9-12900k out and installing i9-13900k. The gains would probably not be really experienced.

It can be used on cheaper motherboards and DDR4 memory which saves money vs AMD 7000 series.Does have a high boost TDP of 253 but I only noticed an average TDP of 150 in games. Only benchmarks push this to 253, or OC can get it even higher.Needs a AIO or a the biggest air cooler you can find. Also if pairing with a high end GPU you need at least 850 watt PSU.
