The Intel Core i9-10900K CPU is a great CPU for a home motherboard that you need a fast CPU for. The CPU itself uses a LGA 1200 socket, has 10 cores and 20 threads, has a base clock speed of 3.7 GHZ, and a turbo of 5.3 GHz. Due to this specific CPU being an older model from Intel, it’s a little pricier ($519.12<\/a> as of 2\/4\/26) and is a little harder to find due to the fact that they quit making certain CPU types after awhile.<\/p>\n The specific motherboard I selected for this CPU was the MAG B460 Tomahawk<\/a> (shown below) from the manufacturer MSI. It’s form factor is an ATX, it supports dual channel, and non-ECC, unbuffered memory. It has 6 SATA ports and 2 M.2 slots, has one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, one PCIe 3.0 slot, and 2 PCIe 3.0 x1 slots.<\/p>\n Besides the higher end price for this specific CPU, it is one of the faster CPUs that you can use for that specific motherboard. PassMark<\/a> gave this CPU a rating of 22,359 for the multi-thread, and a rating of 3,111 for the single thread. It is a really nice CPU that you can use if you want your PC to run fast.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n List of complete Specs for the Intel Core i9-10900K are as follows:<\/p>\n Class:<\/strong>\u00a0Desktop<\/p>\n Socket:<\/strong>\u00a0FCLGA1200<\/p>\n Clockspeed:<\/strong>\u00a03.7 GHz<\/p>\n Turbo Speed:<\/strong>\u00a05.3 GHz<\/p>\n Cores:<\/strong>\u00a010\u00a0Threads:<\/strong>\u00a020<\/p>\n Typical TDP:<\/strong>\u00a0125 W<\/p>\n Cache per CPU Package:<\/strong> <\/p>\n NOTE: This review is part of a classroom project.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Resources:<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.cpubenchmark.net\/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i9-10900K+%40+3.70GHz&id=3730<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.cpubenchmark.net\/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i9-10900K+%40+3.70GHz&id=3730<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.msi.com\/Motherboard\/MAG-B460-TOMAHAWK\/Specification<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Intel Core i9-10900K CPU is a great CPU for a home motherboard that you need a fast CPU for.
