BEST SELLERS

In Desktop CPU Processor

Runs great with a Noctua DH-15 and ASRock X870 Pro RS motherboard. No issues whatsoever.

REALLY GOOD PROCESSOR EXCELLENT TEMPS AND AT A REALLY GOOD PRICE POINT MY OFFER INCLUDED A BEQUIET AIR COOLER FOR THE SAME PRICE SO ITS A GOOD DEAL THESE DAYS AND ALSO EVERYTHING WORKED RIGHT OUT THE BOX WITH A B850 MOBO

I bought this CPU after "test driving" many laptops with their iteration of the Ultra 7 CPUs. I was impressed by the smoothness and speed of these, so I upgraded from a 13700k to this one. The Ultra runs a bit cooler than the 13700k. Neither CPU was overclocked. In BIOS performance settings, this runs at 5.2 GHZ with zero issues. On air, it runs at about 33 C under normal load. Nice CPU.

What can I say that hasnt been said already? Im making the jump from an R7 3700X and a 5700XT, I THOUGHT the games were running smoothly, but after this CPU upgrade, and now combined with a discreet 7800XT I can say that I had no idea what it meant to run games, on high/ultra, with the smoothness in which they are seen in the videos of youtubers who do game reviews, I was overwhelmed that my computer was capable of running the games the way it currently runs them with this combo, more than happy!

65w tdp, but tunable and overclockable. Running it with an AIO watercooler, runs 40-65 celsios typically. Came up immediately with a discrete graphic card. ( I was having trouble with other (similar, used, no graphics cpu , Perhaps it is a simpler initialization when the cpu has graphics? ) It is nice to have the "latest and greatest Zen 5 core., as of 2025 I dabble in performance coding / performance optimization, I wanted the full 512 bit avx512 support featured in Zen 5. This CPU is a price/performance sweet spot.

- Unlocked K-Series chips are good fun if you want to mess around with your computer. - You can manually set up something that works like Turbo 3.0 and TVB, which are present on the high-end SKUs but not this one, if you use the correct BIOS options. Just requires more work to identify the strong vs weak cores, and an understanding of your cooling limits. - Getting the integrated GPU is great for expanded utility down the road, even if you don't need it today. My i7-4770K will get repurposed into a NAS and the IGP will be super nice for working with that system. - It has Raptor in the name. - The example I got seems to be a decent bin. 5.7GHz all-core at 1.3V or so, some cores will do 6GHz at 1.354V. Stable so far through a significant reliability gauntlet, including Prime95, OCCT core cycling, YCruncher, Linpack, and much more. I'm sure there's more headroom but I settled on something well within the limits for daily usage. - More manageable TDP (181W) versus the high 253W TDP on the i7 and i9. - Can achieve single threaded performance as good as the top SKUs with some work.

Many good budget motherboards available for this cpu. I am 99% sure with a de bloated windows it performs the same as a r5 5600 on a non de bloated windows.

Best gaming CPU since the 9800X3D is overpriced. This gets the job done and is almost as good as the 9800X3D on 1440p and 4k. Combined with my rtx 4080 super.

good performance, solid price

I got this item on sale, and it is an amazing upgrade for anyone with older Am4 setup. This runs significantly cooler than my 9700k, and even comes with a cooler. I did not use the included cooler, but it was a nice touch that makes the value even better.

This thing is flawless and fast. I have a 12900k so this does feel a little bit of an improvement. The difference to me is that it goes through applications and games a little more efficiently and smoother. I like it. For the price on sale compared to previous generations it's a good bargain. No integrated graphics which is awesome for me.

Best performance per value. Got in combo deal with motherboard. Very fast single core.

I used this i7 in my latest PC build for Music production. It is a nice processor and gets the job done without issue. I am able to run some of my older projects that struggled on my older system without one audio drop out. My system is stable and fast.

-Fast -Great OC capability -Great synergy with AMD products

Upgraded from a 12700 to a 14700. Very pleased with the simple upgrade as they share the same socket. Connected the CPU to an Arctic Freezer III cooler, temps max out in the 60C's. Insanely fast for productivity, shader comp and game installs. Running this with a 5080 I get fantastic gaming performance, including heavy ray tracing and multi frame gen FPS.

The processor is lovely. i have no issues with it and it reach the max Boost clock while keeping low temp When i added my Water cooler.

It is a rather powerful cpu . It is unlocked and comes with an integrated AMD Radeon graphics video GPU. To take advantage of the unlocked feature you would need a Z series motherboard. I personnaly chose a B series motherboard to avoid costly mistakes boosting the CPU. Playing video games on the integrated video card will lower overall specs. If games need a powerful video card it would show up by preventing playing the game. In this case on a tight budget you can purchase a used Radeon RX570 or RX580 video card that will let you play the recent games with average video specs. Older games and simple ones like Mahjong should play fine.

- FAST -got low temps with AIO - K version I have is unlockable like crazy.

-Gaming performance is really good -Multitasks well with its 6 Cores/12 threads -Pairs well with a budget B660 board -Undervolts well
