What Buyers Say
Intel Core i9 9960X 16-core LGA 2066
20 out of 100 low confidence 6 reviews
The only review is a 1-star complaint about receiving a used CPU instead of a new one, with visible thermal paste residue. The Q&A section provides basic compatibility and technical information but does not address the user's negative experience. Overall sentiment is very negative due to the product condition issue.
Pros
- Compatible with LGA 2066 socket
