Cpu Processor For Gaming Computer

This CPU is great for pretty much every use case. It's absolutely the fastest gaming processor on the market, and also quick enough that you can run a few virtual machines on it without causing issues. Those who need to run more than a few VMs at once may want to consider one of the higher end models with more cores, but in general, developers could do far worse than this bad boy. Fair bit of warning though, it runs hot. This is by design according to the engineering team, but it will be warmer than you're used to. The processor will run to the absolute thermal limit to hit its boost clocks. Mine hits 84 C under full load from Prime95 with the best air cooler on the market. Under everyday usage though, it hovers around 50 C, which is quiet enough to not be an issue.

I was looking for a processor for my gaming rig attached to a 4K TV. This processor is very fast, and constantly runs around 5.35 mhz at 60-65 C temps in games. I am using the stock cooler that came with it, and the cooler can easily handle even Cinebench R23. My CPU's max was 88 C while running a 30 minute stability test. Hence saved money by not buying additional air/AIO. I tested games in 1080, 1440, and 4K resolutions, and this CPU pushes my 4080 100% in any game, any details, so absolutely no CPU bottleneck. It is a great gaming CPU for mid to high-end rigs. Don't overthink; just get it and enjoy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is exactly what I was looking for in a gaming and home computer! I bought a new monitor to accompany the higher processor this workstation has. The processor is an I7 and works swiftly with ZERO lag whether I am playing a video game or if I am doing a multiple page worksheet. The workstation is compact and takes up very little space. I am impressed with the overall function of this pc and highly recommend it!

This processor has been great for day to day work. I use this process on my desktop computer that triples as a server and sometimes gaming. While I do not have a GPU, this graphics on this card keeps up with movies, tv shows, and the small amount of gaming that I do. Very impressed. I haven't even overclocked it yet and it still works very well. Happy with my purchase!

Building a gaming computer and bought this. This CPU crushes. I've had no problems running anything I need to run even with multiples processes going.

Great CPU for gaming

I am pleased with the speed this processor posts while I am gaming.

this 8 core CPU is just great, whether for gaming or productivity.

Workstation / Gaming PC build - I have 4 VM running and playing a games at the same time. The cpu doesn’t even feel the workload. Keeping it less than 50% cpu load. Amazing I keep throwing heavy task at this machine and I am not stressing the cpu at all. Build. X570 motherboard 64 GB RAM AIO cooler Nvme drive Nvidia 2080 I was one of the lucky ones to get this at the launch. Shout out to the B&H support team. They are the best. Love this CPU. Wish I could of gotten the new AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT to go with my CPU. Either way. I am enjoying this build. Thank you B&H.

This processor is very fast and does everything that I expect a processor to do. The CPU fan is great. Nice colors!! You can't go wrong with this CPU or with B&H.
