Newegg Bundles Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus With Gigabyte Z890 Board, Free Cooler for $500

The processor is built on Intel's Arrow Lake Refresh architecture and carries 24 cores, made up of eight performance cores and 16 efficiency cores, with 24 threads and a maximum turbo frequency of 5.5GHz. The motherboard is an ATX model with a white finish, four DDR5 memory slots supporting Intel XMP profiles and a 16+1+2-phase power design. It also provides a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for a graphics card, four M.2 slots for solid-state drives, Thunderbolt 4, Wi-Fi 7 and 2.5Gb Ethernet.

The included cooler is an MSI MAG CoreLiquid A13 240 Black, which TechRadar lists at $72.49 and describes as compatible with Intel's LGA 1851 socket, the socket used by the bundled chip. It has a 240mm radiator and two 120mm ARGB fans. TechRadar notes that buyers would otherwise have to purchase a cooler separately for a processor of this class.

Two Intel voucher bundles accompany the hardware. The Intel AI Software Bundle 2026, valued at $69.99, offers a choice of programs including Adobe Creative Cloud Pro and Adobe Express Premium. The Intel Motherboard Bundle 2026, valued at $59.99, lets buyers pick one of three games: Dying Light: The Beast, Sid Meier's Civilization VII, or Hitman III (World of Assassination). Newegg lists the combined value of the extras at $202.47, though TechRadar states the actual value depends on which software and game are selected, and that some of the offers provide limited subscriptions or require choosing a single title from the selection.

Bought separately, the processor and motherboard come to $579.99, so the $499.99 bundle price cuts $80 from the pair. TechRadar frames the package as a starting point for a high-performance creative desktop and singles out white-themed builds as the natural fit for the white-finished board.

TechRadar's buying advice is to take the bundle when building a new Intel desktop that needs a 24-core processor and a board with broad storage and networking options. It advises against it for anyone who already owns a compatible processor and motherboard, or who is working to a budget-build price. It also points out a color mismatch: the bundled cooler is black, so it will not match an all-white build.
