Absolute beast even at stock! But even more so overclocked!

Low power consumption, excellent thermal performance and great performance for gaming and multitasking

Very soft paste that is easily dispensed. Like other premium pastes, this is better than stock. They provide enough for a couple applications depending on how liberal you are on using it. Unlike many other stock pastes, it shouldn't dry out which is a great reason to consider getting some. After a month of typical gaming and encoding use, I inspected the paste and it is still as good as when I originally applied it. So far so good!

Great price

3dvcache! Can over clock one ccd Curve optimizer does amazing things Best of both worlds vcache and high frequency 16 BIG CORES They seem to have gotten the kinks worked put with the scheduling Not a 13900k or 14900k

I paired this CPU with a RTX 3080 10GB on a 1080p and I'm getting +165 FPS in arc riders epic settings.

-Low power vs the previous generations -Both great gaming and multicore performance -Plenty of IO -Doesn't kill itself like raptor lake -Very tame voltages -Super responsive even vs raptor lake which on paper these should be about the same. -iGPU have av1 encoding so frees my actual gpu for other stuff -Stable and no strange bugs or issues

Easy install Good temps for such a thin heat sink All black Cool Master duh

Amazingly fast Runs automatically well above base speed.

It's fast enough to blow your hair back.

Great efficiency and speed. Great temps and solid as a rock!

I had no problem installing into my pc.

-Fast -Great OC capability -Great synergy with AMD products

Boost above the base clock. Amd commitment to a long term chip.

-Daisy Chained fans make cable management a breeze -no RGB means even easier cable management -no iCUE cabling (universally compatible with any system) -no proprietary cables means fan and pump can be tuned using 3rd party software (or the BIOS) if you're not already in the corsair ecosystem -Once tuned, operates almost completely silently while still maintaining excellent temperatures (a full 10 degrees cooler at idle than my previous air cooler!) -at 90 dollars, there's hardly any other coolers in the market worth more (unless you're looking for a specific aesthetic) -at 110 dollars, the RGB version is also an option! -no need for additional cabling beyond pump and fans for full functionality



fast cheap

Good cooling looks good

Faster game play in intense gaming sessions than the 13900K@5.8. Still running the 285K at stock settings.
