Amazing cpu stays cool and even able to play with a rtx 4090 pretty well in all games

The Central Processing Unit is the “brain” of the computer, a super-fast, streamlined filing system, or data handler, as Richard Feynman describes:

One of the miseries of life is that everybody names things a little bit wrong, and so it makes everything a little harder to understand in the world than it would be if it would be named differently. ¶ A computer does not primarily compute, in the sense of doing arithmetic. Strange. Although they call them computers, that’s not what they primarily do. They primarily are filing systems. ¶ People in the computer business say: “They’re not really computers, they’re DA-TA HAND-LERS.” Alright, that’s nice. Data handlers would have been a better name because it gives a better idea of the idea of a filing system where there’s a lot of data on cards and you handle it, you take cards out, look at them, put them back, and so on.

There’s an Intel Core i7-13700K 3.4 GHz 16-Core Processor in Interwebs Communotron 2023. It has worked without issues since building the machine in the end of 2023, so I’m satisfied.

fast and powerful, terrible to cool even with a loop but hey its not throttling

Perfect CPU for a gaming o prestational computer. It does its work but keep an eye on the temperatures.

Outstanding performance if you can get it for a good price. I got mine through a microcenter bundle and could not be happier with the choice. Upgrading from a 10700k, the difference is night and day.

I've personally never had any temp issues even with heavy gaming, but it definitely does get hot so be sure to pair with a well-equipped cooling solution.

Works great , great space heater

Found it to be a well-worth upgrade from my i5-9400f. Currently overclocking to where it consistently runs around 5.0Ghz and does not get hotter than 70 C while gaming or heavy loads and idles around 45-50 C (due to the Intel Turbo Boost)

Despite the well-publicized stability issues, this has been a fantastic CPU that's done everything I've asked of it.

Please don't melt yourself to death with your power limit issues.

Completely fine, no issues.
