This was Intel’s top line CPU in the 11th generation; it used the LGA-1200 socket which was only minimally different from the LGA-1151 socket (1200 pins vs. 1151 pins). The motherboards for the LGA-1200 required only small changes in production spec, and the coolers made for the 1151 chips work perfectly on the LGA-1200. By contrast, the 12th generation, using the LGA-1700 socket, required an extensive redesign of motherboards, and the coolers that got adapted over from the LGA 1151/1200 didn’t really work properly on the 12th and 13 generation Intel CPUs. This i9-11900K will pull about 170 watts through the socket at factory overclock 100%, and that’s right on the limit of safe operation for the vast majority of air or liquid coolers on the market today.

The processor was delivered in just a cardboard box rather the official box shown in the listing, but other than that it works just fine and is exactly what I wanted!

I had an i7 10700 that went kaput on me, so I figured, why not upgrade to the overclockable 11900K, since it was only about 50 bucks more to the the fastest CPU my mobo can handle. I did install water cooling because it does run warm, but let’s just say this. My computer now works at warp 9.975. With the i9 10900k, a Nvidia 3060/12gb, and 128 GB DDR4 at 3200mhz, on userbenchmark website the lowest score I got was a 104% for gaming (UFO ranking). I overclock it a lot and it holds up well, and stays under 50c with the water cooling for me.
11/10, would recommend, promote ahead of peers.

CPU is great. Not a bad deal if you are building a budget oriented high end PC. Performance is similar to the 10900k but has the PCIe gen 4 support which is the only justification for this CPU existance. This with a new z590 and depending if you already have DDR4 ram, this is 1/3 the cost of a new 12th existence.
I will admit I am very disappointed in the box. The nice fancy one pictured is not the one sent. Instead you will receive your processor in a small cardboard box with Intel branding. It should be make clear that the box in the picture will not be arriving in the description or by updating the imgages.

Products operates as expected, but they shipped this really oddly. It was first shipped ups, and stayed in a picked up status for 2 days. Then a day or so later, delivered to usps. Sat in Des Moines IA for 4 days. Then it crawled to me well after predicted time. Don’t ship this way. Its the worst way too ship. Also you shipped it in a Thin bubble wrap bag. Should have been in a box. Its a fragile chip, but thank you for a good working product with no issues as of yet.

Por ser la primera compra que realice por Amazon estoy satisfecho , he podido recibir la compra, lo único por malo por resaltar el producto no vino en el empaque que salia en la imagen cuando realice la compra, es el mismo producto pero en otro empaque eso es lo único que malo por resaltar lo demás muy agradecido.

when i upgraded my desktop i decided to go intel core i9 this time. all my previous build was a 6th generation core i7 6700k. it ran fine but it wasnt up to running windows 11. so an upgrade was in order. besides, my old board was starting to fail. i originally bought a 10th generation core i9 10 core but that cpu was junk. there wasnt enough PCI-e Lanes to support my drives and usb devices. this is a limitation of 10th generation CPUs not a limitation on the board. my video card (RTX 3070) took up most of the available PCI-e lanes which took out most of my drives. so i went to the 11th generation i9 8 core instead. very happy with it. it solved all my PCI-e lane issues. i am able to run all my devices and drives. the cpu clocks at 5.3ghz stable i have water cooling installed. i see zero problems with this chip. its fast, its stable im plenty happy with the upgrade. the board is a MSI MEG z590 ACE Gold. i have 64gb DDR4 3200.

The tenth gen i9 is better than this one, but I got it because my mobo needed it for the m.2 slot to work. That being said, we’re talking about small performance differences in top of the line components, so it’s not a big deal. With this thing being $650 without a sale I would never buy it because I can get an i7 from the same gen or previous and it will be just as good. I will say that the photo is deceptive, it does not come in the package on the photo with the cool blue plastic box. It will come in a cardboard box like any other CPU. Overall it’s still a great CPU and is a great upgrade from my previous i5 8600k, but not the absolute best and not worth paying $600 for.

Been using this CPU for about a year works great.
Seen some reviews about the box issue but I received mine in the official intel box.
