  • Intel Core i5 does it again...
Pattern: Desktop Processor
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! ... show more

  • Super Solid CPU
Pattern: Desktop Processor
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. ... show more

  • Can't go wrong with Intel
Pattern: Desktop Processor
This review is for: Intel Core i5-9600K processor. I previously owned an i5-4670K on an ASUS Z97-A Motherboard. This 9600 is it's replacement along with an ASUS PRIME Z390-A Motherboard. Temps are great...idle around 30 celsius and under load no more than 55 Celsius. PC does everything I need and a little more with this processor. I will note: THIS CPU DOES NOT COME WITH A COOLING FAN! My previous i5 had come with a fan and I expected this to come with one as I did not see it listed as CPU only no fan. Well there's no Fan but that's ok because I had already bought a Noctua cooler to go with it anyway. They have the best mounting system I've ever seen hands down! From what I've seen most CPU's no longer come with a fan anyway...which I didn't really know prior. So if you buy this or any other intel CPU make sure it has a cooler or buy one with it! This CPU, like any i5, is great for pretty much anything including gaming but it does have it's limits. I overclocked it to 5.0ghz and I'm pretty sure I could go further if I wanted but no more than 5.2. Works great and no issues! ... show more

  • Very Happy
Pattern: Desktop Processor
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. ... show more

  • Best value gaming build with a ton of OC potential
Pattern: Desktop Processor
My last rig was a dated i5-3570K OC'ed. I've finally switched over to this i5-9600K along with an NVMe SSD and RTX 2070. Boy is it fast. Temps, air cooled with the Hyper 212 Evo is steady at low 30's C and peaking at low 60'ish, and keep in mind this is with an OC profile of 4.2 Ghz (increased by 500 Mhz from the stock clocks at no voltage change). It's crushing every game that I throw at it at 1080p, from Overwatch and Escape from Tarkov to even Star Citizen. Overall very happy with the result. The only thing is Amazon dropped the price by $30 merely a few days to a week after I placed my order and having waited for 3 months for it to drop and it didn't. So if you can wait longer next time, do so. The price WILL drop. You won't regret this CPU for your money. ... show more
