The processor is simply outstanding. It is very powerful. Amazing in every aspect. With a good graphics card, it plays many games with high fps.

The processor is a weapon. Very fast, it doesn't lag anywhere even under heavy load such as 4K video editing. Before I bought it, I had some reservations because I read about temperatures. On an Asus ProArt with Lian Li GA Trinity and a plate from Thermal Grizzly, it has never reached crazy temperatures. Having done various stress tests, everything works perfectly.
With OCCT, minimum temperature 31, maximum temperature 80, and average 68.66.
For voltage, minimum 0.790 and maximum 1.440, average at 1.406.
Watts minimum 11.71, average 211.67, and maximum 227.71. CPU usage minimum 2.19%, average 94.97%, and maximum 100%. MHz minimum 25.82, average 4713.18, max 5040.16

I installed it on an Asus Rog Strix Z790-A Gaming WiFi II, simply wonderful, it never froze nor did I ever get a blue screen. I can say that in terms of performance it is just as good and even better than the Ryzen 7 9800x3d. In terms of performance, it almost matches the Ryzen 9 9900. I have it with a Coolermaster AIO liquid cooler and even though it clocks at 6.1, it doesn't crash and never gave a blue screen. I am very satisfied with my purchase

Big flop by Intel with its architecture. First time I've seen a processor hit 100 degrees in a stress test, even though I have an NZXT liquid cooler.

You will definitely need a Contact Frame or a liquid cooler like the Arctic Liquid Freezer III that includes it.

The uneven pressure exerted by the stock retention mechanism (ILM) of the motherboard causes slight bending of the processor, resulting in non-ideal contact with the cooling system.

The contact frame solves this problem and correctly presses the processor onto the socket, reducing temperatures by up to 10 degrees.

Also, you will definitely need to undervolt.

The processor works exemplary. With be quiet 360 liquid cooling, it doesn't raise temperatures and everything works perfectly

Very powerful processor. Pro tip: even with very good cooling in XMP settings without any demanding overclocking, it heats up to a point that barely reaches the threshold. The solution is a small undervolt and it is perfect.

A solid choice for a combination of use in work (development/design) and gaming. For anyone who wants it for work, it's a no-brainer.

I don't think it corresponds to the money it costs; I'm not an expert, but a much older AMD processor performed much better

Beast of a processor, runs 5.7 p core, 4.5 e cores with 1.27 vcore and it's killer.... ram ddr4 4400c16.

An excellent product that, however, will show wear over time if not operated at the factory settings of INTEL.

Be careful not to do extreme overclocking as due to a manufacturing defect (material that wears internally in the processor) it will show degradation. The ppl2 at 300+w have been discontinued by INTEL.
In other words, it presented us with incorrect performance data during their presentation as now their performance has dropped by about 5%-7% depending on the motherboard manufacturer that will be combined.

There has been an upgrade of the warranty from INTEL, so make sure to register the product accordingly.

very good does not overheat anywhere, needs very good water cooling. I can't run cine bench on it because it immediately reaches 99 degrees. in call of duty 80-90 degrees. cs2 60-70 degrees.

I upgraded from an Intel 8400 .. okay the difference is ridiculous, very satisfied with the CPU overall .. it's a beast, it doesn't struggle at all. Playing heavy AAA titles on ultra graphics (1440p) it reaches temperatures around 70-80, I've seen it spike to 84 but nothing extreme … generally, in lighter games, it runs them easily without raising the temperature above 70. I can have many things open at the same time and it doesn't flinch. Satisfied with the purchase.

Top processor for all uses. Especially in gaming, it shines! And with motherboards that utilize turbo frequencies and overclocking, it doesn't hold back. Recommended with a good cooler to avoid it functioning as a heater :)

In my possession for 1 month, 9.5/10 in terms of performance compared to price, I must say.
Its use is purely for: Photo & Video Editing, 3d rendering, online courses & Vm's.
In terms of software, minimal gaming in forza horizon 5, call of duty, cs go2, Gta Vi.

I haven't seen it lagging anywhere.
In terms of temperatures, with a pure loop 2 fx 360mm in a Mini tower, 28°C in idle mode, the max temperature I have seen is 55°C in export rendering.
Power consumption is high, it's true what they've been saying for so long...
Overall, I believe it's worth it for heavy usage, just maybe a bit expensive. (Purchased for 475€)

In a CPU benchmark at 100% load, it hit 88°C.
(running with 64gb 6400mhz ram)
Average operating temperature for anything browsing, photo-video editing, 3d design, multitasking, browsing (except during export) is 32 - 45°C depending on the % usage of the CPU.

The processor is a beast but a heater from temperatures. I use a Corsair ICUE H150i Elite Capellix XT 360 liquid cooling that usually struggles unsuccessfully to cool it. When it runs for 2 minutes at 80%, it easily reaches 100c. In a stress test at 30 seconds, it hits 100c and goes into safe mode, throttling down.
I don't know if there is a commercial liquid cooling solution that can mitigate its temperature. The only solution for usage at its limits is custom liquid cooling...
*** edit: the processor has issues with the currents, the motherboard with an update is trying to resolve them, there is improvement from what I read in foreign forums but the problem is not solved. Intel messed up once again

You should check the settings in the BIOS. I had 2 default settings that boosted the CPU to the moon and increased the temperature. After closing them all, everything was fine

It requires good cooling specifically I have the bequiet aio 280 in combination with the gigabyte z790 gaming x ax, and gskill at 6400mhz.

I upgraded from the 9900k!
BEAST, simply whatever you make it run, the only negative is that it requires very good cooling,
at least a 360 water cooler, I run it with a Noctua NH-D15 chromax which
keeps it at good levels in gaming, but in rendering and benchmarks it reached 100 degrees
so I limited it to 250 watts PL1/2 and undervolted it to 1.27 at 5.6 GHz, and now it doesn't exceed 88 degrees

I upgraded from 13700K to 14700K, so my opinion may not be so objective, and those who have 13th generation Intel may not need to upgrade. However, in terms of details, it is a more refined chip than the previous generation, with slightly better temperature management and 200MHz higher clock speeds. With 4 additional cores, it will help with multitasking tasks, and in gaming, it's not worth mentioning the 4 to 5 extra FPS with Nvidia 4080/4090. The temperatures in gaming, if there is good cooling, are very good and are the same as the previous generation i7, despite having higher power consumption in watts.
