Idc what anyone says, I love my 9600k. It does the job for me! Love this CPU. Great for gaming, speed is great for me, great quality and haven’t even changed from the stock cooling fan. It works great, always easy to install

Fa il suo lavoro, per un pc che si usa per cosa leggere ed un po’ di tutto, esempio gaming non impegnativo, editing leggero. Versatile ma ovviamente non é top di gamma.

This unit was purchased to go into a 9th generation LGA 1151 motherboard to upgrade a PC to Windows 11 Pro. It is still in the box until that motherboard is purchased. I consider it a good buy for that purpose considering they are getting harder to find.***Update: Installed this unit February 4, 2025, and tested it with the Intel Processor Diagnostics Tool. It passed all tests. However, it only listed a 1 Core, not the advertised 6 Cores.A call to the reseller was not helpful and he stated he could do nothing to remedy the discrepancy...His statement was "I'm just a reseller, I do not look at the number of cores, just the product number."No refund or exchange, just a $20.00 "Peace Offering" to make me go away. As they say, buyer beware. I ordered this unit in good faith only to be led astray by the description given on the Amazon site.

I went from an i3 to this cup and it’s a lot better when gaming. This is a good cpu specifically if you’re on a budget.

Got this little guy OC'd to 5ghz stable at 1.34V (doing some research it seems like anything over 1.4 can shorten the lifespan) and it handles anything I can throw at it gamingwise, pulls 60fps in emulators like cemu and rpcs3 no problem. Heat dispersion is amazing. Not even using a watercooled setup, I literally slapped my old hyper 212 evo on this thing with a tube of 10 year old artic silver 5 and 6 months later it STILL doesn't go above 70C even when stress testing and doesn't even hit 60 at normal load when gaming. Video rendering is solid too, but if you are really big on that you could probably do better with the extra cores of an i7 or i9. But if you're mostly just looking to play games then this baby will serve you well for a very long time at a great value.

Ive had like all my friends tell me this wasnt going to work, though I may upgrade in due time, still they were all wrong. All these kids who played xbox then bought a pre-built PC and thought that a 'i7' is better than 'i5' because of a two number difference xD I can run BattleFront II Maxed ULTRA settings, Anti aliasing and the whole nine yards turned on in Nvidia CP, I dont optimize it in GEFORCE Exp either; with the wrong settings it helps sort you out but if you have good settings with good performance itll just weigh you down,I have preferences set to in game for most of the Nvidia CP but theyre high asf, I mean this thing isnt cranked to 100 but DAYUM, it delivers. Mind you this is ALL on HDR10 50" TELEVISION xD I know. I need a monitor, its coming, btw I get a solid 40-60 frames 30 in ERY intense situations, thats because I need a better monitor lol this thing is 120Hz for TV but its not your standard 165Hz monitor which I require. ANYWAYS. Shes a beaut and barely hits 100% in extreme situations. Like currently my CPU is at 10-15% Usage, GPU is at 15-20%, VRAM at 44% and RAM at 37%. With like 7 programs running. In game My GPU maxes 100%, thats normal guys lol, VRAM will be like 60-70%, TOPS 90-95% on insane games, with the RAM constantly following at arounf 7-15% behind it, And the CPU maintains a strong 80% with Quality and performance High and well, even at 100% on Space Engineers it handles fine, Frames and all, but i dont wanna push her, thats why I disable any extreme performance overrides in my motherboards software manager. Sony Vegas btw this thing handles flawlessly for editing with right settings. just disable Extreme performance from your Motherboards Software manager and turn it to a balance setting, and also shes VERY quiet with right cooling installed, I myself have a water cooler and 14 fans for internal. CONCLUSION: BUDGET, BUILT, BOLD, BEAUTIFUL. No this is not a Mascara commercial this thing is just good.

Es de advertir que se recomienda adquirir este modelo o sus hermanos mayores y menores solo si se tiene una placa base Intel con el socket LGA 1151 y estirar lo mas que se pueda la inversión, ya que a partir de ahora sino se ha migrado a la octava/novena o a la décima gen en estas fechas del 2021, no se aconseja adquirir dichos modelos ya que se quedaran desafados con la llegada de la familia Rocket Lake, la onceava generación, por la inclusión de una nueva unidad de procesamiento grafico en los entrantes procesadores, que hará temblar a cualquier GPU dedicada de bajo presupuesto con mas de 4-5 años o más a sus espaldas, con mejoras en la arquitectura como para poder jugar con soltura a 60 FPS con buena calidad.En mi caso, este procesador representa todo lo que he querido tener para obtener una PC todo terreno: navegación web con muchas pestañas abiertas al mismo tiempo, edición de vídeos, ver videos bajo demanda, respaldo de archivos, incluso jugar con buena soltura incluso sin añadir una tarjeta grafica dedicada. Mientras la PC me acepte todo lo que le eche, estaré satisfecho. Después me las apañare para conseguir una NVIDIA RTX 3070, si se resurte de nuevo el mercado con suficiente stock.Este modelo no incluye el disipador chusco que suele incluir Intel en sus modelos mas básicos y algunos de alta gama que no incluyen la denominación K, ya este este modelo esta desbloqueado de fabrica para realizar la practica del overclock, siempre y cuando se instale en una placa base con el chipset Z370/390. Se aconseja adquirir un sistema de refrigeración personalizada ya sea de aire o liquida AIO/custom para hacer overclock, para evitar dañar el chip, así como contar con una buena fuente de alimentación ATX certificada y una pareja de RAMs con perfil XMP que estén a su altura, para asegurar el éxito.

I am a gamer, don't do much more than game. I was kind of worried with this CPU only having 6 cores. My old 3930k was 6 cores and 6 threads. I also was going to buy AMD Ryzen, until I saw nothing was in stock or went up in price.I can say, I am very happy with this system. I gained a significant amount of performance from the old CPU. A good 25 to 30% in frame rates.One game I play a lot is Star Citizen (Alpha stage game in development) and I was worried the loss of the threads might kill my frame rates but it didn't. Playing 1440 resolution and I am gaining 5 to 10 fps on planet landing zones and out in space or on moons I am now hitting 55 to 70 fps. Was outside Port Olisar and running a steady 55 fps. Very happy.I actually got my whole system delivered in a matter of 3 days (paid for shipping) while many AMD CPU and boards won't be in stock for weeks. I ended up saving money because most of what AMD has available has gone up in price. Oh well, maybe in 5 years I will get AMD.

I have been building my own gaming pc's since 2011. In an effort to save a few $$, I opt to use the i5 vs the i7 and go for a higher end graphics card. While this may not be the optimal choice for most gamers, it has been a good working strategy for me.The gaming pc's I have built have been serviceable for as long as 5 years, with my last one retired utilizing an i5 3570K which my wife had been using when I upgraded my system in 2017 toan i5 7600K.Both of these sysytems rocked gaming for me, never a problem, glitch, slowing of frame rates etc.When the 3570K system started having some motherboard issues, I rebuilt a pc for my wife integrating the bulk of my 2017 i5 7600k build into it. She has a blazing fast pc and is quite content with it.Filling the void, I built my current system with the Core i5 9600K, using a 1TB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen3x4 ssd as the main drive and a Samsung 1TB evo ssd for secondary. This is the fastest pc I have ever owned, with remarkably fast boot up and loading speads. The M.2 ssd makes boot time from the appearance of the bios screen to Windows between 4.2 seconds the fastest and 4.8 seconds being the slowest...remarkable.Gameplay is fantastic. I mostly play FPS & 3rd person shooters, and a few other type games like the Tomb Raider series. It may of course be my imagination, but evrything appears to be faster, more sharp and extremely fluid. I' sold on this cpu!I would definitely recommend it.Pros: Everything!Cons: None!

First and foremost, I believe all the hate Intel has received from hardware reviewers over the past year is well received. 9th Gen and 10th Gen Intel CPUs are clearly recycled 8th gen CPUs with very minor features added and critical features removed (ie hyperthreading) but it still remains a excellent CPU for gaming and overclocking, and at $200 I was more than curious to see just how overclockable this chip was...and I wasn't disappointed.With the latest drivers, good RAM, a good CPU water cooler, and an MSI motherboard I was able to achieve a 5.1Ghz stable clock speed on all 6 cores with little effort. I have no doubt that with more expensive cooling the higher clock speeds that others claim is achievable but that was not my goal. My goal was 5Ghz on all cores with average cooling for less than $200.My final decision makers for choosing the Intel i5-9600K are: 1) Most of the games I play don't take advantage of hyperthreading. 2) Intel is super overclockable. 3) z390 chipset motherboards are pretty common and cheap.Bottom Line: $200 for for a 5Ghz x 6 core CPU is an amazing deal that I just couldn't pass up.

The stock speed of this processor is 3.7GHz, the all core turbo boost frequency is 4.3GHz but single core max turbo frequency is 4.6GHz.I did some overclocking, and from my experience, the CPU is running well at 4.870GHz (all core speed). You can see in my attached image, this configuration outperforms the i7-7700K by 20% more.This is a reasonable processor since I'm cooling it with a 120mm radiator. The processor usually runs at 44-degree Celcius. After an hour of stress testing, it is constantly running at 80-degree Celsius.This processor does not include the usual Intel air cooler, you need to purchase one.The seller is also a good seller on Amazon. The delivery is good, the package is sealed and the product is genuine. Before confirming the order, the seller contacted me and asked about my experience is system assembling and once I gave them the assurance that I can build a system and I know the hardware then only they shipped it.
