Very powerful and good processor for its price, but I think it's better to get for example, 13500 or even 14500. You will have better temperature for about the same money with 20 threads.

I think it's one of the best choices you can make. The processor has no issues whatsoever. Performance in support of games, multitasking, and editing is great, and temperatures are fine. It's a great value and a perfect match with the 3070ti. It works well with all graphics cards, but with the 3070ti, there's 0% bottleneck. For example, with the 1080ti, there's a 24% bottleneck.

In my opinion, for generations 12 and 13, i5 is the best option. In older generations, the i7 series had significant differences. In these generations, the differences are not only minimal, but in general, with the i5 (12600k-13600k), you have everything with less power consumption, lower temperatures, and of course, more cost-effective.

*I've had it for 4 months.

I have had it for almost 2 months! With 32GB G Skill RAM and 980 Pro M.2, it handles everything smoothly without any lag even with multiple applications running simultaneously, and plays at satisfactory FPS (120-130) in LoL. A great choice with good temperatures using an Arctic Freezer!

No complaints, I use it with an Arctic Freezer Esports Duo cooler and temperatures are at 35 degrees idle and around 70 at full load. I think it was a very good deal for the 287 euros I bought it in June, now that it costs fifty euros more and motherboards are still very expensive, I would recommend going for the R5 5600 which is incredible value for money at the moment.

The CPU was replaced with a 3600x and the difference is huge, in games and with several open tabs it doesn't lag anywhere, temperatures are 25-28 degrees Celsius at idle and 50-55 degrees Celsius in games. Finally, no more spikes that were quite annoying with both AMD and INTEL, it's the most value for money purchase. On the negative side, to get a good motherboard you need 250+ euros and also if you play with overclock you need a lot of power (I did a test and saw 450 watts). The CPU is paired with a z690 asus tuf, I'm really impressed, in dying light it has 25-30% use and an average of 50 degrees Celsius.

Very powerful CPU. In an Asus ROG 690 D4, it takes the PC to another dimension. In stock, it is very cool and can reach up to 5.4GHz, rock solid stable, if you don't mind the 100°C it reaches under heavy load. It requires very good cooling. I have it rock stable at 5GHz with DDR4 at 4600GHz, and max heavy load is 82°C (if you ever manage to achieve this without benchmarking). Intel has returned
