Do not hesitate to buy, the quality is amazing for the price.

I’m generally satisfied with the purchase, but since I assembled a PC for games, I overdid it, for my 2070 percent it’s too strong, although this is also a plus, it makes no sense to change it for another 3-4 years exactly and calmly change the card later (I thought 9600k but the difference in price was practically 0 and there was no desire to lose 2 cores just like that)
With overclocking, I already wrote everything, it’s very capricious

Pros

It's about 9700k mother Aorus z390 ultra Cooling Dark Rock pro4 Bought the boxed version on amazon for 20k good speed In my case, I got an average stone (well, at least not the worst) In TB it keeps stable 4.6 on all cores In ms 4.9 for all I overclocked it with handles to 5GHz on all cores without offset at LLC8, at 1.345v stability passes with avx and without increasing the max to 1.38v (the pace was on the hottest core 82c)

Cons

Very picky stone At first, I didn’t touch the BIOS at all, I ran a couple of tests, looked at the performance and was a little shocked At 4.6 TB in a stress test, a pebble can easily ask the mother for a voltage above 1.4v, devouring in the region of 130-150 watts, when turned on on the MCE mother, the picture is even worse, the voltage jumped up to 1.45 volts and eating up to 200 watts When buying, immediately climb and set with handles, this is not even a recommendation!
