a big jump from the i7 I had earlier. I'm happy with this item

This rocks! Fast and great for gaming on Windows 11 No issues at all! Easy to install.

Major jump for me also from i7 3k series I had. For the price I think it is expensive, but so far its definitely worth the extra money imo.

Make sure you are running Windows 11 to get full performance from this CPU, Difference between the F/K/KF/KS e.t.c. is speed & built in graphics, this has no built in graphics but does have speed. Seems to be slightly easier to cool than the K/KS model. Bit slower than my 5900x at video conversion literally a few seconds but a decent improvement in frames in gaming & even in game design using Unreal Engine 5 you notice an improvement. In hindsight a CPU with the built in graphics might be a better option in my case but I still have the same performance so I have no complaints.

No problem with it, built my PC for a week now, performance is great.
