Review on 💻 Enhanced Intel Core i7-9700 8-Core Desktop Processor, up to 4.7 GHz, LGA1151, 300 Series, 65W by Vincent Pavelko

Note that when Intel says 65W, it shouldn't exceed 65W while the processor is running at a base frequency of 3.0. Ghz.8 cores can run at 4.5GHz in Turbo Boost mode at the same time, but with Turbo Boost they heat up pretty quickly. I'm using a LP53 copper heatsink with a 92mm Noctua L9i fan on it with a compact PC. It easily reaches 90 degrees Celsius. When I use the RPCS3 emulator. In contrast, the 8700T (35W) reaches around 60 degrees with the same load. Of course the 9700 is faster, but the heat issue is worse than I expected. I decided this processor wasn't for me, but it might still be a good choice for others depending on the build of the PC.
