❓ Hardware Q&A & AHW Store Policies

Technical configurations, cooler recommendations, warranty, installments, and shipping

Does the Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus require a new motherboard?
Yes. The Core Ultra 200 series utilizes the modern LGA 1851 socket found on Intel 800-series motherboards (Z890 and B860). It is physically and electrically incompatible with older LGA 1700 motherboards.
Why does this 24-core processor feature 24 threads instead of 48?
With the Arrow Lake architecture, Intel eliminated Hyper-Threading on Lion Cove Performance cores to drastically increase instructions-per-clock (IPC) efficiency, reduce thermal hotspots, and maximize silicon real estate for 16 high-throughput Skymont E-cores. This design yields significantly higher multi-threaded performance per watt.
What cooler is recommended for sustained peak performance?
For continuous 250W Maximum Turbo Power during heavy rendering or gaming workloads, a premium 280mm or 360mm All-In-One (AIO) liquid cooler is strongly recommended to maintain optimal boost frequencies below 80°C.
What does Tray packaging mean for this processor?
The Tray version (INTL-CPU-U7-270K-T) contains the exact same brand-new, genuine Intel silicon processor manufactured by Intel, shipped securely in protective anti-static packaging without the retail color box or stock heatsink. It is fully covered by AHW Store 1-Year Local Replacement Warranty.
What memory speed is recommended with this processor?
The memory controller natively supports DDR5-6400 MT/s out-of-the-box. For peak gaming and compute bandwidth, pairing with dual-channel DDR5-6400 XMP 3.0 or high-speed CUDIMM kits is ideal.
What warranty is provided by AHW Store?
Every processor purchased at AHW Store includes our official 1-Year Local Replacement Warranty, ensuring rapid domestic inspection, testing, and replacement service in Egypt.
Can I buy this processor using installment plans?
Yes! AHW Store offers flexible 0% interest and low-interest installment payment options through valU, sympl, Banque Misr, CIB, and major Egyptian credit cards directly at checkout.
How fast is delivery within Egypt?
