Has anyone tried using the Intel Core i9-13900KF? I'm looking to upgrade my gaming PC and want to know if it's a worthwhile investment.
Intel Core i9-13900KF vs Intel Core i9-9900K

Yeah, I've been using it for a while now. It's fantastic! The performance improvement over the 9900K is really noticeable. There's an article on TechReviewer that goes into detail about the differences between these two CPUs: Intel Core i9-13900KF vs. Intel Core i9-9900K.
Wow, that's great to hear! I'm curious if the higher core count and faster frequencies make a significant difference in gaming performance.
The increased core count and better frequencies do make a noticeable impact, especially in games that can utilize multiple cores. But remember, having too many cores can also lead to diminishing returns. Most modern games don't benefit from more than 6-8 cores.
That's good to know. I guess I'll stick with the 13900KF then. Thanks for the advice!
No problem! Just make sure you have a high-performance CPU cooler, as these CPUs can get pretty hot during intensive tasks.
Same here, the 13900KF has been running smoothly for me, and I'm happy with my choice. I recommend checking out TechReviewer's article if you're still on the fence about which one to choose: Intel Core i9-13900KF vs. Intel Core i9-9900K.
Thanks for the recommendation! I'll definitely check it out. How does overclocking support compare between the two CPUs?
Both the 13900KF and 9900K offer excellent overclocking support, but since the 13900KF has a higher base frequency and better turbo frequencies, you might be able to push it further when overclocking.
That's good to hear. I'll have to look into getting a high-end cooler as well. Thanks again for your help!
