If you want speed this is it hands down!

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2023

Style: CPU OnlyVerified Purchase

I built two with this CPU processor last year about this time. Very happy with the speed this has starting up and shutting down, and running programs like nobody business. I'm not a gamer, but I could play games with the video cards I put in on both of them - EVGA GeForce 1660 Super 6GB. I just wanted speed and no curser spinning. It was well worth the money using pcpartpicker.com, that way you know what works together. This Intel - Core i7-9700K 9th Generation 8-Core - 8-Thread 3.6 GHz (4.9 GHz Turbo) I use for my Computer Shop business and my home. No complaints here, love it.

Proper gaming PC if it has an adequate cooling solution

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2021

Style: CPU OnlyVerified Purchase

I upgraded from the i5 9400F. I didn’t want to change my motherboard to accommodate the ene-of-the-line 10th generation intel processor. I change up every few years and I think it is more prudent to wait until the 10nm fabrication this time around.

I bought the processor for gaming and VR. At first I was getting major loss in fps at 80-90 hz on a 165hz hertz monitor (HP Omen 27i IPS display, 1440 res., 165 hz). I have Noctua NH-U95 cooling it with one fan, which isn’t enough. It would exceed 75C without overclocking under full load. Once I added a second fan attached to the heatsink, and one above to vent of out the warm air, it never exceeds 60C and idles at 30C!

Paired with a Strix overclocked gtx 2070 and having 32gb of DDR4 memory, I can play almost any PC game at full quality and all VR games. H-K: Alyx is pretty cranked up as far as quality and it runs smoothly. The 9400F was noticeably maxing out in performance. While the 9700K is only around 12-14% faster, it is enough headroom to smooth out performance in gaming. Everything also felt snappier as far as desktop usage. It should give me enough processing power until the next advances in transistor fabrication.

This processor probably doesn't overclock well with the performance hit it takes at higher temperatures. Inadequately cooled, the CPU Benchmark was 89%. Once I increased the airflow, it came in at 100%. With my 9400F, the gaming PC score was around 90%. With the 9700K, I’m at 108%. Unless you’re gaming, the 9400F is more than adequate for most needs.

Not bad but DEPENDS on your Uses.

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2021

Style: CPU OnlyVerified Purchase

If you are someone who is modest to gaming, editing, or using somewhat intensive applications on your computer than I would recommend getting the i5-9600K or i5-8600K. The i5 600K line is honestly not different at all from this. You see the performance more in this CPU if you have multiple applications open, have been streaming and playing on the same computer for a while, gaming and keeping an eye on your frames somewhat or consistently or you are an editor. Like you actually edit videos not like edit photo slide shows on windows movie maker.

I am a college student majoring in Computer Hardware Engineering so I use my PC to do school work, Game and to do projects or presentations on whatever Adobe Program I have to use. Sometimes we use Google but still. I usually have multiple applications running and I've been PC gaming since 2017 so I felt as spending the extra $107 (i5-9600K was priced at $192 at the time of typing this review) was worth it. Again, this all depends on your uses but I have gotten solid performance, as expected from Intel and an i7 Processor. I have gotten 80+ to 100+ FPS on games (I play on Very high or Ultra settings, this depends on the game) on 1080P paired with a GTX 1080. Multi-tasking is a breeze and applications still work flawlessly. Only downside I can think of is there's not much of a difference between this and a i7-8700K. Other than that if Price is not a concern for you and you want arguably a good reliable and good performing CPU, Then GO FOR IT!!

This thing burns - literally and figuratively

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2018

Style: CPU OnlyVerified Purchase

Installed this on a Z390 Gigabyte Aorus Master, under a Corsair h115i with Conductonaut like Tom's Hardware said to do. Out the box it's running 4.9 for 1 core, 4.8 for 2-4 cores, and 4.7 for more than 4 cores. Without tweaking any settings, voltages are in the mid 1.2's. In general gaming use, temps run in the mid-50s with this rig, but the XTU benchmark can push them into the 60s. A few half-hearted attempts at overclocking reveal that this chip, like many of its kind, isn't particularly happy with AVX over 4.7, and some of the cores seem more susceptible to this than others. Still, I couldn't get it over 80 degrees C; platform instability happened first, at 5.1 with an AVX offset of -2. (5.1 at -3 ran at 1.4 with not much other tweaking required). Combined with a couple Samsung NVME drives (512G Evo and 1TB Pro) and some 3200 GHz LED RAM, boot times are superfast (with Fast Boot on) - blink and you miss it.

I was able to push a 7680x1440 three-monitor rig to 60 fps minimum in GTA Online; average framerates were in the 90s, though nVidia Surround had me limited to 60 Hz. The same 1080Ti could only do 23 fps minimum with my prior rig, which was Z77/3770K@4.4 GHz based.

Nearly any other game I can push my ROG PG279Q to its full framerate of 165 Hz without difficulty. I like to play Rocket League at 250 fps to minimize input lag and was pleasantly surprised to find that I could keep it over 200 and still get what that game calls "quality" graphics on both the single-monitor and triple-monitor setups. I'm old enough that I'll take whatever edge I can get!

Install was a snap, watch a video if you're worried about it. Computer booted fine the first time I turned it on - if you can turn a screwdriver you can build a PC. And this processor is the one to get - I expect to be future proof for many years!

I7-9700K Coffe Lake : Premières impressions : Conditions : Aucune Chauffe .

Reviewed in France on November 3, 2019

Style: CPU OnlyVerified Purchase

Passage d'une configuration initiale : A Core I7 2700k , 16 Gigas de Ram vive à 1666 MHz , complété d'un WD CAVIAR BLACK SERIES à 7200 tours/Min. sur Windows 7 64 bits . Le Core I7 de génération Sandy Bridge étant toujours fonctionnel et ce , même en "heavy load" , et ayant été overclocké à 4.5GHz , de façon très stable , sur une très longue durée , "in Game" .

Premières impressions : Conditions :
Procésseur refroidi sans watercolooling et par Ventirad NOCTUA : NH-U12S avec remplacement du ventilateur d'origine de 120mm en 1500 RPM , par un ventilateur industriel : A haut rendement en 3000 RPM ( Très silencieux en applications courantes et en idle ) . Aucune Chauffe .

Ce Processeur 9700K , procésseur de dernière génération à 8 coeurs , et certes sans hyperthreading , apparaît en "Idle" et dans toutes les tâches courantes , et de prime abord très rapide !!!
Mais c'est tout de même , au regard de son prix , ce que nous étions en droit d'espérer .

Point remarquable : Associé à un ventirad Noctua NH-U12S , dont le ventilateur de 120mm a été remplacé par un ventilateur capable d'un débit en "AirFlow" de 186 mètres cubes/heure , ( NF-F12 iPPC-3000 PWM , Ventilateur pour refroidissement à haut rendement, 3000 tr./min. ). En tâche courante , et assisté de 32GB de DDR4 en 3000 MHz , le niveau sonore en décibels est très réduit . Autant dire que pour les taches courantes , si vôtre installation est stable , et que tout a été mis en place correctement , aucun soucis côté bruit .
Le ventilateur Noctua effectue quant à lui le travail , avec une remarquable efficacité , laquelle est immédiatement perceptible .

Aucune chauffe n'a été constaté , dans un boitier correctement aéré .
Tout celà demeure à confirmer en "heavy load" ... et "In Game" , en pleine session de travail ou de jeu ,
mais les premières impressions sont en faveur de ce processeur , qui apparaît très réactif , et c'est un air TRES frais !!! qui émane du boitier et non , un air sec et chaud .
Le bond et les avantages techniques entre un 4 coeurs même hyperthreadé et overclocké , apparaîssent ici immédiatement .

Dans les tâches courantes , et à l'heure actuelle technologique , s'il est assisté d'un SSD valable , de suffisamment de RAM , pour pousser celui-ci vers de hautes températures , il apparaît de suite qu'il faudra lui envoyer un "workflow" de taille , et donc une quantité d'informations conséquentes .
En terme de bureautique classique , il semble peu nécessaire de se tourner vers ce genre de processeur .

Points positifs :
- Aucun problème de chauffe constaté . ( refroidissement à air ) , sans système de "Water-cooling" .
- Prix en baisse à l'heure de l'écriture de ce commentaire .
- 8 Coeurs vrais .
- Le gain en terme de performances pures , comparativement à un 4 coeurs même largement overclocké .

Points négatifs : Le prix , encore élevé .

Bilan :
Excellent Procésseur , surtout destiné aux applications exigentes , et au "Gaming" .

PS: Prévoir une carte mère de génération compatible : A Chipset Z390 , ou bien en Chipset Z370 , lequel nécessitera une mise à jour du Bios .

BON JEUX !!! :-)))

MISE A JOUR du commentaire : Confirmation !!!
Aucune chauffe notable du Core I7 9700K , même en 4K "In Game" sans aucun Water-cooling , après plusieurs jours d'utilisation .
Comme indiqué un ventirad Noctua suffit , telle que la référence indiquée par exemple , avec le remplacement du ventilateur d'origine limité à 1500 RPM ( Rotation Per Minute) , par un ventilateur capable de 3000 RPM toujours de chez Noctua convient . Aussi , et c'est un peu la cerise sur le gâteau , niveau sonore , aucune mauvaise surprise constatée .

Good CPU for heavier workloads, doesn't get too hot

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 20, 2021

Style: CPU OnlyVerified Purchase

A good Cpu, and a great choice if you are upgrading on a x370 or z390 motherboard. It does not come with a stock cooler, as the stock cpu cooler is inadequate for the I7

I do NOT reccomend this purely for gaming, because the processor has 8 cores and 8 threads, which is overkill for most games, you would be better off buying an i5-9600kf which has 6 cores while still being overclock-able, it has no integrated graphics but, at a lower price. You can invest thay money into something else, like a better graphics card or more SSD storage. make sure your system's performance is well balanced, won't be ideal to pair this with a GT 610 now...
The cpu has a boost clock of 4.90 Ghz, and with some tweaking in the bios power settings you can improve its performance, go watch some YouTube videos on bios setting for this CPU.

I brought it for a wide variety of applications where I required the extra cores, such as: gaming and streaming simultaneously, media creation, and rendering videos. I was able to render a 49 minute video at 1080p, 60fps, 12 Mbits bitrate, vbr 2 pass, under an hour while doing other things!
Yes, it was constantly at 100% usage, but I was very surprised that it never peaked over 68°C, I only used a hyper 212 evo black, no water cooling, just 1 cpu fan.
My cpu never hit its maximum tdp of 95 Watts though, so I am still leaving some performance on the table.
At idle, my cpu draws about 8-20 Watts running discord, chrome, and a bunch of background applications.
It is disappointing Intel disabled hyperthreadding for this cpu, therefore the cores and threads are the same number.

The Cpu won't be a bottleneck during gameplay, it will be up to the rest of your system to do their part.
While recording and streaming, you can easily do x264 encoding at medium preset in OBS, and still have enough performance for the game.

I upgraded from an I3-8100, it was cheaper than getting ryzen as I would have needed another motherboard.
Beware that your motherboard may not be able to supply enough power for this processor, if its relatively cheap, and is not reccomended for overclocking, it may damage the capacitors on the motherboard from too much current, be sure to look for reviews on your motherboard first to make an informed decision, its better not to risk destroying your motherboard and or other parts of your computer.

Q: Do I need an unlocked Cpu?
A: Most likely not! However overclocking is for squeezing out even more performance form the Cpu, so even if you aren't planning to get the best performance in the world, it's good to know that when your Cpu eventually becomes underpowered in the next few years, you can always overclock it a bit more to be able to match newer generations of hardware. But in the short term they do cost more money to buy.

I do not believe making a new system with this cpu is a good Idea, as you won't be future proofing yourself. So either get a newer generation of cpu or just wait for Intel or amd to make a cpu that won't change its socket the next generation.

But hey, it's YOUR system! Do as you please!

Überragende Leistung: Der Intel Core i7-9700K für ultimative Geschwindigkeit und Leistungsfähigkeit

Reviewed in Germany on March 22, 2023

Style: CPU OnlyVerified Purchase

Ich habe den Intel Core i7-9700K Prozessor für meinen Gaming-PC gekauft und bin absolut begeistert von seiner Leistungsfähigkeit! Mit seinen acht Kernen und einer Taktfrequenz von 3.6GHz bietet dieser Prozessor eine unglaubliche Geschwindigkeit, die selbst die anspruchsvollsten Spiele und Anwendungen ohne Verzögerungen ausführt.

Ich war auch beeindruckt von der einfachen Installation des Prozessors. Die LGA1151-Sockelkompatibilität machte den Einbau in mein Mainboard zum Kinderspiel. Der Prozessor ist auch sehr leise und bleibt selbst bei hoher Auslastung angenehm kühl.

Als Gaming-Enthusiast ist es für mich besonders wichtig, dass meine Spiele schnell und flüssig laufen. Der Intel Core i7-9700K Prozessor hat definitiv meine Erwartungen übertroffen und ich kann ihn jedem empfehlen, der nach einer leistungsstarken CPU für Gaming- oder andere anspruchsvolle Anwendungen sucht.

Insgesamt bin ich sehr zufrieden mit dem Intel Core i7-9700K Prozessor und gebe ihm daher eine 5-Sterne-Bewertung.

Good CPU to pair with my RTX 3070 - but not perfect.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 5, 2023

Style: CPU OnlyVerified Purchase

I bought this CPU to relieve the CPU bottleneck that my last processor was implementing on my new 3070 GPU. I'm giving 4 stars as it allows my GPU to run at 100% on most games at 1440p until I get to extremely heavy CPU games like Cyberpunk or Battlefield 2042. I had to stay 8th or 9th gen as its all my motherboard supports. this CPU is several years old now and it will not be future proof for me but it will certainly do for now. I bought the cheaper version that says like new! go for that one! its significantly cheaper and it was only used for 10 mins! and it came brand new looking!
