    Little clawed monster

    This CPU is overpowering for generation 11 and Z590.

    - The last CPU before DDR 5

    Minor drawbacks :
    - Very temperamental with memory controllers. Your Ram had better be compatible, otherwise you'll often have Windows crashes.
    - The choice of DDR 4 memory is smaller (cross search between z590 and I9-11900k).

    Does the job!

    Mounted on a proper motherboard, in Z590, you really have to load it to make it bend, I couldn't do it even in VR, it's really good.

    Excellent processor, stable and very powerful

    This is the best Intel has done to date and for the general public. Installed on an Asus Maximus 13 Hero CM. I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure if it's a good one or a bad one, so I'm not sure if it's a good one.

    It heats up... but rather well

    I come from an AMD platform and I wanted to see what intel was all about. Some will say "but why!!!?". Because AMD platforms have their little problems that I know well (faithful customer for 20 years of AMD). And it must be said, AMD are great work processors... So this processor, what is it worth? Well, I like it a lot. I did not know the overclocking according to intel and I admit that I appreciate the fact that one can either work the cores all together (has also on AMD) or core by core (has not on AMD).As regards the performances, it is much better on 1 8 cores used than the AMD equivalents. However, no, it doesn't hold up in multi-core against a 5900x or 5950x. Stability tests show that it heats up easily with ABT. It throttles easily. I'm using a corsair hi-tech, but I'm not sure if it's the same as the 5950x, but I'm sure it's the same as the 5950x, and I'm sure it's the same as the 5950x. I'm using a corsair h115i for info and my case is very well ventilated. I'm using a corsair h115i for info and my case is very well ventilated. it can help. in single core (or 2) it goes up to 5,3 ghz in OC. well personally I'm happy with it. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not. I may invest in better fans (noctua) and the wc on top (h150i) to see if it can lower the temperature. But when you don't benchmark or stress test, the heat is controlled. However, if I compare to the AMD 3000 (3900xt for me) it heats up reasonably more in normal use, and way too much with the ABT. In conclusion, wanting intel this time, I'm not satisfied. I have to say that I appreciate it.Now as for the interest in changing the processor, apparently not much interest if you have a 10th gen processor. Unless you want to take advantage of the pcie 4.
