  • Overkill but nice to know it won't be obsolete
Wife needed a quality desktop for business, she's murder on laptops and needed a solid workhorse, my 4th rig with an Aorous MB and its flawless, no bloatware, and saves me countless hours cleaning and fixing her off the shelf products.

  • Good CPU Paring up with Good Motherboard for Good Results Good CPU Paring up with Good Motherboard for Good Results
HARDWARE USED: ASUS Prime B560-Plus motherboard i5-11500 CPU paired with Enermax ETS-T40fit (200W TDP) CPU Cooler WD SN 850 500GB gen 4 x4 M.2 NVMe SSD Patriot Memory Viper Steel (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600MHz XMP memory, with XMP enabled in BIOS The i5-11500 benchmark beats i9-9900 and i7-10700 while kind of close to that of AMD Ryzen 5 3600. Originally I planned my new PC build based on the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU and X570 motherboard to take advantage the speed of PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 NVMe SSD several months ago. Once I saw this i5-11500 released, I dropped the idea of using the Ryzen 5 3600. Since I am not a typical gamer, using the integrated graphics from the CPU is good enough. I could easily saved USD $400+ not needing graphics card, high output PSU, no need of liquid CPU cooler and multiple PC case fans. I was aware that this CPU will run hot before I ordered it. After opened up the box and looked at the build and design of the stock CPU fan, I decided not to bother installing the stock fan. I installed an Enermax ETS-T40 fit for 200W TDP to ensure adequate cooling for the CPU. Running CPU hot in prolonged time will shorten the life of it. Summer is here now, and on a 104F outside temperature day and just using the ceiling fan indoor, the maximum temperature for the CPU was 54 degree C, and most of the time in the mid 40 degrees C. I guess that would be about the highest temperature that this PC will reach for this year or even through the lifetime (if the indoor temperature will be even higher, I'll turn on the AC). My older PC uses the UHD630 integrated graphics with three video ports, and that is good enough for my dual-monitors plus a 4K TV setup. Graphics performance (streaming movies/dramas everyday) for the UHD630 is good enough for daily tasks. i5-11400 CPU has UHD730, while this i5-11500 uses UHD750, which has an even slightly higher performance than the UHD730. Other performances are also slightly faster than i5-11400 but the price is very close. That was the reason that I chose this i5-11500 and installed it to a motherboard that has three video output ports. I have compiled a ten and half minute 1080p video using Win 10 Photos with the hardware aforementioned, and it was completed in about one and half minute, that is, about 14.8% of the video duration. My older PC of lower grade processor using PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 NVMe SSD and UHD630 completed the same video compilation in about 26% of video duration time. I have one big complain about the seller of this CPU, Adorama. The attached photos showed how the seller shipped the CPU. They shipped the CPU not in a box, but in a rather thin envelope , without bubble wrap padding type of protection. They also vacuum packed the envelope, that is why there are so many ruffles on the envelope. No airspace between CPU box and the envelope as buffer to absorb shocks. One picture showing the edge of the envelope, we can see how thin it is. Another picture shows how the corners of the CPU box got crushed. That is how Adorama will ship delicate electronics components this way. This time I am just purely lucky to have an undamaged CPU. Other time (should be no other time) or other people may not be this lucky. In the future, whenever I see the name Adorama as the seller, I’ll stay away from that purchase. I’ll also advise people not to do business with this seller. No star deduction because of the bad seller, because the CPU itself is good. However, I noticed that the CPU box is much smaller and the box material is more flimsy and thin. The CPU is made in Vietnam. The last time I had my Intel CPU PC built, the box was stronger and bigger, and the CPU was in the middle of the box, protected by some cardboards on both ends. This time the CPU is placed at the top edge. This is not that good a design. Hope Intel will not be cutting corners on the CPU protection the next time I build another PC. Because of this and the hot running CPU requiring a decent or an over designed CPU cooler, that added cost for using the CPU in good cooling condition, I am deducting one star here. ... show more

  • Very Fast
Would highly recommend. Chose this one over the 11400 for the better graphics. Currently using it for work and it is much faster than the 10400 that I had. Being compatible with the 4.0 NVME SSD probably helped with that.
