Intel® Core™ i5-10600K Desktop Processor 6 Cores up to 4.8 GHz Unlocked LGA1200 (Intel® 400 Series chipset) 125W

If you’re a gamer and you don’t have the budget for the i7/9 series this chip will keep up with them, especially with a small overclock. While it doesn’t have as many cores, it’s base and boost clocks are plenty and it still has more than enough cores and cache to game great. You only really need the additional cores if you do a lot of professional work such as rendering or compiling large code bases, which this chip can still handle, just not quite as fast as it’s i7/9 counterparts.

Been using it to play games like Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Temps remain in the low 50s but that could be more to do with everything else I have installed.

Runs really quite cool for what it is, you can easily bump it up to 5ghz without a fancy cooler for short periods and it performs exceptionally well in most titles. No bottlenecking whatsoever with a 2080 and for me it completely eliminated most stuttering in game. I can't recommend it enough, especially at this price

This i5 is a good all around process for general work tasks, video and photo editing and video conferencing. I have had no issues with this processors capabilities. It does not come with a heat sink, so be sure to purchase one separately - but I knew this when I was purchasing so this did not cause me any problems.

Been using it for awhile now and it's really good and i've had no problems with it, found it for around 190 at the time and i think it was worth the money

Stuck with Intel as it has known software that works, heard of problems with amd and to old to muck about now. The i5 does all I need and overclocks well, did have to buy a liquid cooler for it as I like to keep the temps under 60c which I now do and all is fine, quite a jump in performance from an i7 4790k which was a surprise. With everything on max cyberpunk 2077 runs at 60fps on a rtx 3060ti, on the i7 it was 30/40 at the same settings. Plus it is seamless.

My product cam super early , I was reimbursed the money after I brought the cpu when it was not on sale and had it refunded ! No used marks on cpu as others state box a little damaged but product is great .

Upgrading from an i5-4690k, this was a great choice for my upgrade. Runs perfectly in my system.
