I did my research on using this i7-9700K CPU in my recent build and It is performing just as expected, no problems at all. I was also looking at the i7-9900K but wasn't very comfortable with the reported high temps being reported by other. I'm not a AIO (water) person, I have this i7-9700K running with a Noctua NH-U14S with push and pull fans and it remains under 60 with heavy gaming and running at constant 4.9 GHz at the moment (overclock coming). The price difference between the two CPU wasn't a factor for me but saving a few bucks was a good pro, I would highly recommend this CPU be considered is you are planning a new build.

It's currently right up there with the best. For what i was using it for, the extra 2 cores over the i5 really made a difference. But it does run hotter, and to obtain the same overclock, i did need to upgrade my cooler.

Excellent processor for gaming, power usage is very mild when doing basic things like web browsing, etc. The processor I had before this was a Core I5 6600K & this processor blows it out of the water. The only thing I noticed is it does like to run hot when you work it hard.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Package the product was delivered in was a little beat up, but other than that the processor works great with no problems and was easy to install.

Bought brand ‘new’ and it arrived with the tape still on the box, took out my old cpu and tried putting in the ‘new’ cpu and when I looked at the sides I noticed thermal paste still smeared on the sides, mind you no cpu has pre-applied thermal paste on them whatsoever besides the cooler which intel used to couple with the factory coolers, mine did not come with a cooler. Thankfully it at least works as intended but I payed full price for the illusion of a new i7-9700k . One star because at least my ‘new’ cpu arrived in a timely manner. 0/10
