Revainrating 5 out of 5

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

Configuration: Core i9 10850k OC @ 4.8MHz Asus ROG Maximus XII Hero (Wi-Fi) 32GB (4 x 8) G. Skill TridentZ RGB 4000MHz XMP NZXT Kraken X73 Samsung EVO 860 SSD Seasonic Focus GX-750 (80 PLUS GOLD) Gigabyte RTX 2060 (6GB), waiting for RTX 3080 Ti NZXT H710i Black I decided to take this particular model, and not 10900k, because of the minimal difference (see Disadvantages) and for a lowercomst (at the time of purchase, the price was 38k). I took it into a work-game system exclusively for heavy multiplayer games with 40-64 players (Battlefield, Star Wars Battlefront 2, etc. ), work (programming), and also with a margin for future games. Hecompes with these tasks perfectly. So far, I have overclocked it automatically (AI Optimized, Asus ROG Maximus Xii Hero) up to 4.8MHz on allcomres (the BIOS has not been ated). I use CBO NZXT Kraken X73, the idle temperature is 30 degrees Celsius, while surfing the Internet with a bunch of open tabs (more than 100, Youtube 4k and text) the temperature is 35 degrees Celsius. While playing the multiplayer of the mentioned games (40-64 players, resolution 3840x1600, Ultra Settings) the temperature is 60-62 degrees Celsius. Case NZXT H710i, room temperature ~22 degrees. I recommend buying, especially in December the price dropped in some stores to 33k. For these tasks, it will last for several years. January 21, 2022 - Added screenshots Benchmark CPU-Z, Full version here - . Fr/umeu6s ated after holidays BIOS to the latest version. The chip's SP is now 77 instead of 63, but it's stillrubbish (see the Disadvantages section). Here are the settings for overclocking: 10850k @ 5.0GHz all 10comres 1.320 V. (in BIOS) AVX offset - 0 LLC 6 min/max cache - 47 The temperature in heavy multiplayer games is 55-62 degrees (it does not rise above 62 after several hours of playing). For some reason, the idle temperature is ~35 degrees, probably the problem is in setting up the CBO. Basically, it's fine. If you do not want to overpay 7000-8000 for + 200Hz on average to overclock 10900k, then take 10850k.

Pros
  • Low price compared to 10900k and same high performance. Cold. Easy overclocking to 5MHz on all 10 cores. Stability and reliability. If you also do delidding, then the temperature will be even lower by 6-8 degrees.
Cons
  • The difference between the 10850k series and the 10900k series is that worse chips are included in it. And the best in the 10900k series. However, there are some good chips in the 10850k series as well.
