Intel Core i9-7920X Processor BX80673I97920X

This cpu is Amazing. Put it in a Asus Strix x299 E mother board running 2 Samsung NvMe 960 pro's in raid 0. ASUS 1080ti, and 32 gig 3200 ram. Tested stock in/with Adobe Premiere, Handbreak, 4k Rendering, 4k gaming, Intel Extrem Testing, etc, It was SIMPLY Incredable! Temps were good pushing, 75c plus in these applications, and a bit higher under prime95 Toucher Testing, but No throttling Then pulled it, delidded it. Using liquid metal grizzly conductent, then began the tediously slow over clocking process.(Corsair V2, 240 closed loop water cooler installed). After much tweeking in small increments and time, I acheved , 5.0 GHz, Windows Boot and stable, not exeding 85c under intel extreem testing but, failed a 24 hour prime95 stability testing. (Could not boot into windows at 5.1 GHz) Backing off with offset of 3 and 4, I achieved 4.8GHz, all core sinked finally, and passed a 48 hour prime95 cpu torcher test (delidded, water cooled closed loop) temp not exeding 86c. In everyday 4k rendering, photo shop, Handbreak, etc temps do not exeed 72c to 74c at most. Riding high 60c mostly. Then back down to 32c under no load. 4.8GHz, Stable all cores. This Exceeded my expectations for this CPU (or i won the silicon lotery). It runs cooler than my i7 7700k Kaybe Lake, Delidded, water cooled, with a stable over clock of 4.9GHz all cores, 3 and 4 ofset. For a Refrance... the Delided, water cooled i7 7700k 4 core Kaby Lake, Handbreaked a 30 gig move at variable bitrate, HQ H.265 Encoading in 1 hour 56 minutes hitting high 80c's, bumping into mid 90c's. The Delided, Water Cooled 4.8GHz over clocked 12 core i9 7920x bumped low 70c, highest 75c and did the same movie, with same encoding settings in 32 minutes. All i can say is, "Holy Cow"!! But for you gamers only, know this cpu is overkill and a Waust of your money. If you are a gamer only, Go with the 8700k 6 core Coffee Lake, delidded it, water cool it and clock it to a stable 5.0GHz on a good Asus, Gigabyte motherboard z370 chip set and have fun!! But for refrance, CPU never goes above 58c on any game, but most of my games are more GPU intensive, hence the Asus 1080ti. Still, frame rate hitting the cpu is smooth and above 120 frame rate im most everthing, higher in some, (BUTTERY SMOOTH) game dependant. But go with Coffee Lake for gaming, 6 core 8700k. I am in love with this CPU in every way and it eats everything i though at its 12 cores, even doing back grown internet, youtube, etc while rendering 4k, handbreaking, etc... all cotes are not even at 100 percent utilization... AMAZING!! .This CPU, in my opention is the best price point to dollar to core ratio, but i leave you to your own opintion. Remember, intels base clock stock speed rating, no turbo or overclock is 2.9 on this CPU. I have it all cores, 4.8GHz, delidded, 240 corsair closed loop water cooled .. running stable and cool. If you can pass a 48 hour prime95 test , Your overclock (in my opention) is STABLE!! Enjoy what ever you choose. This was my choise. Iam a Verified Amazon buyer at $1088.00

This item is used despite that being stated nowhere in its description and to make matters worse it doesn't even work. The computer still start up but none of the peripherals like my monitor or keyboard will work.

this unit is more of a toy than production piece. I trust Intel and expect this CPU will, when I get one of them there round-to-its, power my server project just fine.

Spent about $3,000 on parts for an upgrade, day two and this is the only part that doesn't annoy me, so for that you get 5 stars!

Item was not marked as a USED ITEM, received a USED ITEM, Poor business practices!

Fast and hot. 24 cores unleashed sure makes things run fast. I thought it was pretty easy to install. Make sure to water cool this bad boy. Don't try to use traditional coolers on this.

Amazing processor - finally an upgrade worth doing from my 3930K. About 3-4 times faster in Cinebench than I was getting before.

This item just arrived and is an OPEN BOX and you can clearly see the that thermal paste was wiped off and this CPU was previously installed. Amazon Customer service will let me install and I hope it is fully functional. Great price if item was new but not so much with a used processor. Serial numbers do match with outside box. This is completely unacceptable to not mention that the item is open box... Good Luck!
