    There is a very slight non noticeable difference between it and the i9-14900k which makes this one very good deal in terms of value
    Works great and no complaints

    I had a Ryzen 7 3800xt cpu for a while now so I went for a new upgrade and went for Intel for this generation. This processor works faster and better compared to what I had previously. This cpu is basicaly like an efficient i9 12900k, so if your looking for a high end processor just get this 13th gen. Also at this time the 14th gen i7 just got released but based on the reviews its more like a 13th gen Intel ks proccesor. That why I never went that route.

    What can you say about this processor that hasn’t already been said. Just know you need a good cooler on it, because it does get HOT! Performance is great and with Intel’s XTU app it is easy to overclock and achieve even more.

    Golden Review Award: 16 From Our UsersGreat workstation CPU. Upgraded my aging Intel Haswell 4770k workstation to these new, e-core embedded Intel CPUs.

    Only negative drawback is that these newer Intel CPUs run hot and eat quite a bit of wattage.

    Should have picked an I5 instead but wanted to future proof my new workstation until 2030.

    Highly recommend!

    Great workstation CPU

    Picked this up for my first build in over 10 years. No issues with installation and Windows 11 setting it up. I keep it cool with a Deepcool LT520 85.85 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler.

    Overclocking is easy and the PC remains stable. Paired this with an RX 6900XT for a gaming PC and I’m 100% happy with this purchase.

    This is my first upgrade since the i7-4790k, this processor is a BEAST! Eats away at any task i throw at it without a sweat! I was a little hesitant with the new cpu designs with the Performance and efficiency cores but man, the efficiency cores alone kill my 4790k! great cpu, just make sure you know these shoot to the sky heat wise when you punch heavy workloads and you will need cooling to match depending of how long and how much you will need to pull away from it.

    Golden Review Award: 24 From Our UsersI had a 6 year old Acer TC-780 desk top with an i7-7700 cpu. Due to not able to upgrade to windows 11 and microsoft scheduled to stop supporting windows 10 October 2024. I gave myself a year to shop for a new PC Knowing Black Friday/Cyber Monday have the best prices and deals. I like the Gaming RGB astatic and after months of researching online I decided I was going to Build my next PC. Black Friday came early this year Thanks to Prime Day, and MSI Mag Z790 Tomahawk MB, and V- color DDR5 Oc 7200mhz 32g RAM, and MSI RTX4070 GPU And the Intel i7-13700K all powered from a Gamemax 1050W PSU, I have a Brand new POWERFUL Gaming PC That will serve me well in the years to come.

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.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersI replaced a 7th generation I7 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.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersIntel’s 13th gen is a very strong contender and the i7 this time around is all the overkill I needed. While the i5 works great for gaming the extra cores in the i7 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.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersThis 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.

    Golden Review Award: 13 From Our UsersIf 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.

    Absolute beast-gaming overkill

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersIf 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.

    Golden Review Award: 8 From Our UsersMany folks go for i9s in whichever series intel brings out at regular intervals while I have preferred to either go 5s or 7s (can’t imagine a scenario I’d need a 9 since I primarily do 1080p gaming irrespective if it’s a AAA game or indie or some blast from the past from GOG). Would’ve stuck with 10th gen had that prebuilt machine not gone awry. Heating wise this can get hot so invest in at least a 240 or 280 AIO while a powerful air cooler can also get things manageable (maybe from deepcool, noctua, bequiet, etc). If using a less chonky air cooler then do some undervolting to prevent overheating. I have no complaints with this 13700k. Thanks Amazon and DHL.

    Golden Review Award: 12 From Our UsersI previously built an 8th gen i7 for gaming and work, relegating my 1st gen i7 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 i7, but after two months with the 13700K I can honestly say I could not be happier.
    Thank you Intel.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersFar 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.

    Golden Review Award: 10 From Our UsersAmazing 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.

    Golden Review Award: 27 From Our UsersI 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.

    Golden Review Award: 13 From Our UsersThe i7-13700K has i7-12900K performance at an i7 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 i7-13700K 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.

    Golden Review Award: 13 From Our UsersI 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 I7 even bests the i9 12th gen. Great chip as long as you keep it cool.

    Screaming fast processor that runs really hot.

    Golden Review Award: 21 From Our UsersAbove 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.
