Intel Core i9-9900KF 3.6 GHz Eight-Core LGA 1151 Processor

True little processor; has saved my computer it works and I can now game to my hearts content!Still runs hot like the previous model but as long as you get the correct cooling system for it, all is good!

Got a little carried away with the man maths when planning some system upgrades and ended up buying a new z370 motherboard and 9900kf.Was initially after a 'k' but they were out of stock and the KF was a little cheaper. Have heard reports that they may run a fraction cooler and may overclock better.It has no onboard graphics, but seriously, who buys a 9900k and doesn't use a separate graphics card anyway, and more than likely has an old spare kicking around.9900 was probably overkill for my current useage, but the performance boost and longevity of the setup made it better value than a processor upgrade on my old board would have.I'm using a BeQuiet dark rock 4 air cooler and it has no problem keeping temperatures in check even during extensive stress testing with a mild overclock. My build is pretty stealth and I wanted a virtually silent pc at idle so didn't want the constant whirr of water based cooling solutions.

After having this cpu for over a year and a half I am still very very happy with it. It is an amazing cpu and works very very fast. Upgrading to this cpu from my old I5 9600K made my pc increase in speed by what seemed to be like 300% to me. It is very very great for gaming and I would recommend this to anyone!

Expensive? Sure. Overhyped? Maybe. But you cannot question the performance of this little chip.Ever since it arrived, my system is so much quicker than before; granted my old i5 4690 had nothing on this guy, but still the improvement was revolutionary for me.If you have the extra bucks, go for it, you will not regret it.

Upgraded from an i7 and the increase wasn't huge if I'm honest.This 5gig overclock seems to be a gimmick to me ,I dont know why Intel didn't just sell it as a 5gig processor rather than call it over lockable.Anyway as said the jump from i7 to i9 isnt really worth it for gaming ,and these run hot so dont skimp on cheap case if you're upgrading.Obviously performance overall has increased I just wouldn't say for the cost that it's worth it.Saying that I'm happy enough

This processor is the best you can get at an affordable price in 2019. This is a KF processor meaning it does not have built in graphics so make sure you have a graphics card ready before switching on your Pc

Was in two minds what version of the i9 to get but was glad to get this one. The performance boost is amazing in games alone .I upgraded from a AMD ryzen 2700x and the difference is amazing well worth it.The KF model is the same as the K model just without the iGPU not a big deal unless you like the backup of a n internal GPU in-case anything happens to your main GPU.

Pros:+ 16 threaded with easily OC to 5ghz+ Much cooler than i9 9700K (-15 degree difference on 5ghz OC!)Cons:- Price!!!!!
