I won't go into much technical detail here since there's people a lot smarter than myself who can get into the nitty gritty. Generally speaking though - this CPU absolutely smokes, especially for the price. Don't let the 'i5' name fool you. The i5-13600K (and KF) is a top-class processor that for most users, will offer more than enough performance for intensive tasks while having probably the most reasonable power consumption and cooling requirements of the top-three 13th generation Intel processors. I came from an i7-5960X - still a solid processor in this day and age but unfortunately my motherboard wasn't exactly kind to me attempting to take it above 3.8 GHz. Despite it bottlenecking against my 2080 Ti, it still ran cool under a 360mm CLC, topping out at no more than 51 degrees C gaming (GPU load) and 60 degrees under full CPU loads. But since the current market for new components is pretty good, I opted to go all in on a 13th gen build rather than find a better X99 motherboard. Odds are, you're probably going to be cross shopping the i5-13600K with the i7-13700K and the i9-13900K. Unless your workflow necessitates the additional core count or you're chasing records, the performance difference between those CPUs and the 13600K did not seem worth the hundreds of dollars of additional cost and the massive increase in peak power consumption. Power also equals heat, and that was another motivating factor for going with the 13600K, having been accustomed to a relatively cool and quiet build for some time. That said; with the additional cores and much higher boost frequency, I was expecting higher peak power draw and temps despite a lower TDP on paper. And they were definitely higher, under the same 360mm CLC. After running benchmarks with Cinebench and 3DMark, I was hitting peak temps in the mid-to-high 70s under full CPU loads. Gaming loads however were definitely more manageable though, sitting in the 40s and seldom breaking 50 degrees, which was actually a small but appreciable improvement over the 5960X. I'd advise at minimum a high quality air cooler or a 240mm CLC for this processor. The out of the box performance is something else though. I managed to hit 23345 on a multi-core Cinebench test and a 16459 combined score on 3DMark Time Spy. Again, this is stock clocks paired with an overclocked 2080 Ti and 32GB of DDR5 at 5600 MHz. At 3440 x 1440 and 144Hz, games run like butter. I could dabble in overclocking it since I have the headroom but honestly, I don't see the point. It's fantastic as is. All in all, I feel like the 13600K is kind of the no-brainer option for most people looking to put together a high-end system on a budget. You're getting most of the performance of it's more expensive stablemates for a much lower price and less obnoxiously high power and cooling requirements. The KF is also a little cheaper if you don't need integrated graphics. Just buy it. You'll love it.

The 13600k is the way to go if you’re still on LGA1700 and are looking for an upgrade. In games, I don’t see usage pass 30%, and it stays cool while gaming at a frozen 62°C. I definitely recommend this cpu if you have an LGA1700 Motherboard.

This cpu is a low priced beast. Stunning performance, I mean cmon such a great value for such a great chip. This cpu has more than enough power for anything. 100/10 would definitely recommend.

I bought 2 of these to put in mine and my wifes builds, both work perfect and dominate every game on the market, including Tarkov which if you play you know the struggle with CPU on that game. My wifes runs bone stock with a NZXT Kraken 280mm and stays idle at about 29c and around 55c when gaming. Mine on the other hand is on a Vetro 360 aio and is overclocked to 5.6ghz all core stable and can get quite warm. Reaching 80-88c at times. Running mine at stock speed drops it to about 55c during gaming as well. I got mine to a 5.7ghz stable but started hitting TJmax so i undervolted and clocked down to 5.6ghz and runs fine. I have a friend who went with the 13900k and hes only netting 10-12 more fps than my OCed 13600k. Compared to the rest of the 13/14 gen CPUs the price to performance of the 13600k is unbeatable at the moment.

There's practically nothing to complain about other than the fact its on a dead socket, so this isn't the most viable for new pc builds, but if you've already got an LGA 1700 socket motherboard, there's simply no better price to performance upgrade than this.

this i5-kf replaces my 11th gen i7-kf. sure, one reads that and first thought is, he's downgrading. well, hang on, grasshopper!! this pup puts the 11th gen i7 to shame even when it was slightly overclocked. very weird cause it's has a slower speed but when it's time to rock & roll, it flies. boot time, and app loading is measurably quicker. when stress/load tested using the intel tool, it gets very hot. with this processor, temps above 89c did not cause throttling, so intel must be ok with this. temps are considerably lower when not testing. i was ready to buy an aio cooler but am holding off for now. the huge noctua d15 attached may suffice. i don't want to mess around with water pumps, so until intel figures out how to bring the heat, with less heat, i can park here for the foreseeable. lemme go out on a limb and say that for most folks, this much hp may be overkill. lastly, this was not a "vine" purchase but a damn good one at $285!
