Intel Core Ultra 7 Desktop Processor 265K - 20 cores (8 P-cores + 12 E-cores) up to 5.5 GHz

Fast and cool processor for the discount price.

Works as it should. I have not overclocked it or anything like that. It's a huge upgrade from my older i7

I bought this in December last year for a build I was putting together, which I was able to finish in January of this year and have always gone with Intel, but was moving up from a 7th Gen i5 processor Dell SFF Optiplex to the most current CPU on a Z890 based motherboard.With the Thermalrake bracket to better hold the CPU to the socket, it's been great so far and video editing so far on 1080P has been fantastic, I have it paired with the Intel A770 graphics card and it all works great.Not bad price for a really current CPU and was not that much more than the 13/14th Gen processors, so went for it.

Adding this to my new mobo took my computer to benchmark in the top 2% in the world. And thats without even overclocking. Im letting the AI do the overclocking as needed so i dont get a lot of direct raw stats for that. But this thing runs like a beast. it hands out at a cool 32C and during gaming only up to 41C.I have had no crashes or issues what so ever.

Exelente producto muy rapido

Runs very cool, unlike 12th and 13th gen. Many issues with bios and drivers at this point, especially the igpu. May become a better one after sometime.

This Intel processor has received some heat for not being a generational leap compared to its previous generation. From my experience this cpu has been great. And if you were wanting the performance of the 13th/14th gen but were turned off because of the cpu degrading issues, then this might be a good alternative. It competes pretty well with similar prices non x3d parts and it has pretty good deals that can make it a better choice since it did have such a bad perceived release (which I think was a little overblown when you look at the price vs performance of there competitor)

I wish I was able to find a 285k but i couldn't so i got the 265k. My z73 Kraken from my 9900k works fine. I just needed to get the bracket for LGA1700 because it's backwards compatible with the lga1851 socket. Highly recommend getting ram 8000mhz or higher. His processor benefits a lot from higher ram. For example in time spy when my 6600mhz ram demo was off and running at 4800mhz . 3dmark time spy would only get a cpu score in the 13800s, When i turned XMP on its now getting high 17000s . Almost 18k. So I may look into returning my dominator titanium 6600mhz for something 8200-9200mhz. The temps are also insanely low even in gaming on ultra.
