Anyone who has an issue or wants to improve their temperatures should check out this video. It mentions how the auto voltage for vcore specifically is the responsibility of each motherboard vendor who often does not follow Intel's guidance on voltages and power limits. This means they put much more voltage in the auto setting than necessary, resulting in significant temperature differences even with the same cooler that someone else has.

I don't think it reaches very high temperatures, of course I'm not an expert but compared to the i5 10400f I had, it's better

Unbelievable processor. I have installed it on an Aorus master Z490 and combined it with a 3080Ti, along with NZXT Z53 liquid cooling, and it hasn't gone above 47 degrees in demanding use. In regular use, it stays at around 30-32 degrees.

I am making this comment only for transparency and for this product to receive the attention it deserves.

I won't say much, just that it has never reached 100% even with the most heavy-duty games (like Escape from Tarkov on ultra graphics for those who know).

Another example (gaming+working): Running 2 games simultaneously (Lineage 2 with 4 clients running at the same time for auto farming, COD Warzone), a Vue.js server running locally with VS code open for coding, 3-4 browsers open simultaneously for front-end development and debugging to ensure the website works correctly cross-browser, Opera for personal browsing with 15-20 tabs open, half of which are YouTube videos in 2K resolution, and Discord and Teamspeak, etc. The list goes on.

With a total RAM usage of around 16-18GB, the CPU never went above 70 degrees with a 360mm Antec liquid cooling system, and it never reached 95% usage.

In the end, I said a lot. Worth it

He set it himself to 5.3.
He set the memory himself to xmp.
In general, he does everything himself, very pleasantly surprising.
I got it for 500 euros as an alternative to the problematic AMD 5900x I had.

The only downside is that it works with PCiE 3 and not PCiE 4. However, I didn't see a difference in fps with the 3080, so I don't think it matters.

Monster with super temperatures (with NZXT Z63 280mm liquid cooling) idle 20-30 degrees and full load 50-60 max! Tremendous performance, it doesn't hesitate anywhere!

He doesn't feel anything.
Horse in every sense of the word.
With the Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 4 cooler that I have combined with it, it stays at 31c in Idle and doesn't exceed 56c in long hours of gaming

I will start directly with the conclusion for those who do not want to read in detail and confuse themselves with the numbers that will be mentioned below. If the use is exclusively for gaming, I would recommend considering the 10700K or the i9-10850K, and using the money saved to invest in a more powerful graphics card. Now, moving on to this specific processor, initially I have heard from many people that it does not cool well, but I must commend Intel for managing to create a chip that, by simply removing the limit from the motherboard, draws around 240-260w (always measured with the h110igtx at a room temperature of 20 degrees during a stress test with all fans at maximum). In gaming, a custom profile has been used for low noise, with a simple 280mm AIO. We can see their tremendous effort to cool this power-hungry chip with simple AIO, which seemed like a joke in the previous generation as the 9900K could not be cooled with simple AIO. Moving on to performance, overclocking, and my own temperatures, the chip achieved 5.1 GHz on all cores with 1.35v, with scores in Cinebench R20 and R15 that you can see in the photos. As for the memory controller, it is exceptional and I would say the best I have worked with on Intel so far. It managed to run (4x8GB B dies) at 4200MHz with very tight timings (16-18-18-36) and subtimings. As for temperatures after overclocking, power consumption during Prime95 increased to 320-330 watts with the 280mm AIO, which could no longer handle this heat as the liquid temperature reached 45 degrees and the cores reached 95-98 degrees. This shows us that the CPU has excellent heat dissipation, unlike previous models (core 95 liquid temp 32-35 on the 8700K with power consumption of 180 watts). In terms of gaming, with this overclock, I have not seen power consumption above 110 watts and temperatures ranging from 55-65 degrees depending on the game and how hot the case is from the GPU. In summary, it is a CPU that is excellent to play with, with everything unlocked, and with the appropriate cooling and a motherboard with good VRMs, it is the best chip that Intel can offer for performance gaming and rendering. If it is worth buying when the little brother has 100 euros less and you will get 95% of the performance, from a value-for-money perspective, I would say no. However, if you want the best of the best, it has never been a measure of value for money, so yes, I would recommend it for those who know what they are looking for and want the best possible numbers to play with by overclocking it and achieve amazing gaming performance

I have had it for almost 1 month and so far it has not crashed anywhere. I open 2-3 applications simultaneously with a game and it doesn't lag at all. The temperatures have been normal so far. The combination I made for it is:
1) MSI Socket Mpg Z490 Gaming Carbon
2) 850W Thermaltake Toughpower Grand RGB 80Plus Gold
3) Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 Super 8GB Code: GV-N208SGAMING OC-8GC Rev. 2.0
4) G.Skill TridentZ RGB 16GB DDR4-3200MHz (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR)
5) CoolerMaster MasterLiquid ML360R RGB
6) Samsung 970 Evo Plus 500GB
7) Cougar Panzer Max
