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
Cons
  • Received used instead of new
👎 Product condition 1
👍 Compatibility 1
