Very powerful
Really cool, the machine runs very fast and can accumulate a set of tasks simultaneously (greedy video game + video editing software + web pages with video), used with 64 Gb of DDR5 Ram.

A mid-range/top-of-the-range processor from Intel, which will do everything you throw at it without flinching.
It's useless for 1440/4K gaming because it's the CG that's doing the work.
On the other hand, when it comes to music production tasks, coupled with 32 GB of DDR4 Ram, it's a real monster. Even if the Ram installed isn't the most optimal, it's already really efficient;
For video processing/editing, it's really easy, not as powerful as a 13900, but it gets the job done, and for a lot less money.
Perfectly meets my expectations in terms of multitasking, gaming and streaming! Even for applications like Photoshop and Blender, it's very good.
PC received yesterday with this i7-13700kf. I've run a battery of tests on both OCCT and 3D Mark, and it has no problems whatsoever with stability or benchmarks, it reaches +5000 Mhz and doesn't bottleneck. I paired it with the MSI Coreliquid V2 360R AIO watercooling system, and the temperature was just right. The peak temperature was 71°C.
Very good processor
Mounted on an ASROCK Z790M with a Noctua NH D15s chromax, it's really very fast in games and applications and doesn't heat up as much as people like to say... (really)
I ordered the complete PC assembly without the Windows installation and frankly everything was fine, I have nothing to say about it, it was very well organised and the customer service I spoke to before the purchase was very good.
It's a monster processor for a home PC, let's be clear, but it's a gamble on the future, as it has a few good years ahead of it before it becomes, first, fit for purpose, and then much later, outdated.
The only downside, if it is one, is that performance cores can cause some problems, like on Star Citizen where, for the moment, they cause a bit of stuttering. But even so, the problem doesn't come from the component but from the game, so...
I am very happy with the capabilities of this new processor, which will help me to be more responsive as a gamer.
Nothing to complain about upgrade
I upgraded from a 6700k to this model which is way beyond what I had before!
The I7-13700KF installed on a CM ASUS Z790 works perfectly, it is powerful and finally does not heat up that much, probably thanks to the huge NOCTUA I put on it.
I've been using it for a while now, but it's not really working at all.
Intel is as clean and efficient as ever.
The processor is very sharp. Minimalist packaging (I like it).
Very good stuff
