Intel Core i7 9700K, S 1151, Coffee Lake Refresh, 8 Core, 8 Thread, 3.6GHz, 4.9GHz Turbo, 12MB, 1200MHz GPU, 95W, Box is rated 4.9 out of 5 by 17.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good compatibility My CPU is a Stepping D - Revision R0 according to CPU-Z 1.92, works very well with a Z370 and a Z390 motherboard I own, the Z370 needed a bios update for compatibility which was done previously anyway with a i7-8700 CPU. Temperature at full gaming load on the Z390 chipset was about 65c max on two games I tested (Red Dead R edemption 2 and Jedi Fallen Order) cooler/heatsink used was a noctua NH-U12S push pull with noctua's NF-F12 Focused Flow fans and thermal paste used was Noctua NT-H2 (small blob in centre of CPU),all 8 cores auto overclocked by motherboard bios to 4.6GHz and was consistent at that speed playing Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order but RDR2 was inconsistent at 3.6 then 4.6 then a max seen at 4.7GHz then back down to 3.6, not an extensive gaming test by any stretch of the imagination but RDR2 could be a poorly optimised game on some setups like mine, the GPU used was the RTX 2080Ti Founders Edition. There appears to be no need whatsoever for the two eight pin CPU leads plugged into the Z390, there is only one eight pin CPU 12v socket on the Z370 anyway and there were no problems when gaming on that chipset so I presume the extra power is better to have when going for the maximum manual overclock on the Z390? Last but not least and based on my own somewhat limited experience the i7-9700k I got is prefered over my i7-8700. Operating system used was Windows 10 Pro 64bit. PC case used was a basic midi tower with only one 120mm intake case fan blowing across the motherboard and other components and one side panel removed when gaming.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from As good as it gets Amazing processor not the cheapest but pretty much the cheapest price to power ratio happily runs @4.9GHz without any messing. I have it paired with an RTX2080 both water-cooled and it eats pretty much anything I throw at it on ultra settings...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good value 8 core processor It does what it says on the tin and good value. I'm getting a reliable 4.9ghz overclock and occaisionally 5.0ghz - but of course, your mileage may vary.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Great CPU for the price. I used this in a new build PC with a AIO Consair H115i Platinum.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from For pc gaming there is no better cpu at present I have recently upgraded my pc in preparation for the release of the 3080ti gpu later this year Prior to this cpu I had the i56600k and used it alongside the 1080ti. I game at 4k ultra so the gpu does the vast majority of the work. I have really hammered my i5 over the years and it was very worn out. And it highly likely an i5 would bottleneck the 3080ti I have been using my new cpu for almost a month now and it's brilliant. A massive upgrade for day to day pc tasks. I use it with the Noctua nhd15 as this cpu needs plenty of cooling. Over clocking is easy but I don't need a heavy OC as my gpu does most of the work when gaming. I got all cores up the 5hz without problem just to see it runs. It ran fine but unnecessary for my needs so I have turned this oc down. For gaming this the best cpu for gaming at present. I've used amd and Intel for gaming but prefer Intel Thanks to scan for their usually brilliant service and will probably buy the 3080ti from them

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Brilliant Love this CPU. Works great will handle gaming and video editing very well.
Date published: 2020-01-03
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent product Yes I would recommend the 9700 K for gaming . I had no issues temperature is running pretty stable. Never needed to overclocked the processor. I tried red redemption 2 with 2080 TI fully maxed out running smooth. And temperatures Never exceeded more than 70° Playing for nearly 6 hours.. But I heard a lot of people had trouble running red redemption 2 Yes I did had issues but I couldn't find any maybe I was the lucky one
Date published: 2019-12-23
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product great service As expected this is one of the best processors out now. OC wise no issue if you have a good cooling in place. I constantly keep it at 4.6GHz without any problems temps under 70*C full load. Definitely recommend it if you trying to build gaming rig. Best price/performance on the market in my opinion. SCAN services were also spotless. The parcel came in lots and I mean LOTS of bubble wrap to keep it safe. Great Service.

What socket and chipset does this cpu require?

Asked by: BigMalc
I recently purchased the i7-9700k and it works great in my Z370 motherboard and Z390 motherboard, the Z370 motherboard needed a bios update to make the Z370 compatible with the i7-9700k. The Z370 was only 8th gen compatible when I first got it. I was able to flash to a compatible bios file using my i7-8700. Double check manufacturers websites for CPU BIOS file compatibility, they should always have the BIOS and CPU compatibility list to check, that's what I did anyway.
