Review on πŸš€ High-Performance Intel Core i9-10850K Desktop Processor: Unlocked 10 Cores up to 5.2 GHz (LGA1200) by Mateusz Swierczynski ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A practical product, nothing to complain about.

The impressions are generally positive, but the heating was very upset. The first time I ran cinebench r23, it showed 4.8GHz across all cores, a result of 15650-15750 and temperatures of 95-100 degrees (photo 1, after 2 minutes of rendering)! Although at idle 35. Top cooler, Noctua D15, in general, without average dropsy or top air, you can’t even hope to curb this percentage. It just won't fully open. I saw the results of cinebench r23 and 14700-15000 on the Internet, this is exactly the story, like 16700-17000 and even 17500 points, this is already water + top board + scalping. In general, I decided to scalp him. A master came (a real master who knows how to remove solder from silicon, and not wipe the thermal grease with a cloth, as it was in previous generations), did everything beautifully, polished the cover, silicon, applied varnish to the contacts and liquid metal to the chip. Temperatures dropped 10 degrees after that! I decided to add 100 MHz to the frequency, and check the result with the scalp. Now in cinebench r23, the frequency is 4.9 GHz for all cores (you can take 5.0, but the temperatures are again close to 90-100 degrees), the result is 15950-16050 points, the temperatures are from 80 to 90 (photo 2, 30 minutes of rendering)! I think it needs to be scalped if you don't have water. Yes, it costs 10% of the cost (3000-3500r), and gives only 3% performance, but now you will sleep peacefully during rendering. I bought it because, for some reason, I never had AMD (I'm not an intel-boy) and I found a sealed BOX version for 25000, with delivery to Hong Kong it turned out 25500, +3000 scalping, total 28500 with scalp, with market price 27000-31000. Ryzen 5800X cost 30000-34000, decided not to overpay 15% of the cost for 3% performance in games and plus or minus the same results in professional applications (which I compensated with scalping), but about the same hot temper of Ryzen 5800X and higher processors (only power consumption 50-100 watts less), you can not mention. In general, this is it, intel core i9 10850K.

Pros
  • + High performance, both in professional use and in games + Cheaper than Ryzen
Cons
  • -Heating up to 95-100 degrees on top air -Power consumption is 220-230 watts, and this is 4.8-4.9 for all cores, if you overclock to 5.1-5.2, then there are 300+ watts, horror! -Top 2-tower cooler Noctua D15 with heat dissipation of 220 watts right next to it, it will be able to cool this CPU, but without overclocking. In general, it is better to install not the cheapest non-separable water cooling, at least 2-section. -It definitely needs to be scalped, the temperatures are outrageous -To overclock it above 5.0 GHz, you need an expensive board, my cheap Gigabyte Z490M Gaming X, maybe from stock 4.8 on all cores in full load, up to a maximum of 5.0, then it crashes. -Again a new socket, again a new motherboard, intel milking us like hamsters
