Intel® Core™ i5-11600K Desktop Processor 6 Cores up to 4.9 GHz Unlocked LGA1200 (Intel® 500 Series & Select 400 Series Chipset) 125W

I had an I5-7500 which I thought was already really good but this was a huge jump for me!

Works well for esports games (I dont have a dGPU right now). I have it running with the new Noctua redux and temps are low.

I love this cpu! It is fast stable overclocking it is pretty easy and stays cool!!! The onboard graphics is really powerful and can play lots of powerful cpu based games like wow on high graphics for casual play without a problem. Cheap, efficient, powerful and supports pcie 4 so the new nvme cards are really fast at data transfers and complex disk space multitasking. Very reasonable for a casual gamer that doesnt want to spend 5 thousand dollars on a graphics card just to play mmos or multitasking and higher function processes.

Hasta el momento todo esta funcionando muy bien

works perfectly fine with my new rig

Very quick

Wouldnt boot with my ram at its usual stable xmp settings even though its worked fine for over a year with my old processor and it runs insanely hot. Will be returning and going back to my i3 10100. Will probably get a tried and tested 10th gen cpu instead because they are cheap and reliable right now. Maybe in 6 months when the mobo manufacturers fix their bios 11th gen will be viable.

may be one of if not THE BEST cpus in terms of power-money ratio

Using this in the ASUS TUF Gaming Z590-Plus WiFi motherboard. To my surprise, it also came with its latest BIOS update, so no need to flash it so far.

The i5 11600k is, at the time of this writing, really the best value in CPUs on the market. You have to pay a bunch more to get a couple more cores in an i7, while an i3 is only a bit cheaper for certainly less performance. Meanwhile, Ryzens are just too much extra money for frankly a little less performance. They may have a huge marketing cult, and they are very good processors to be sure, but if youre trying to maximize performance for the dollar, the Intel cores still have the edge. The i5 11600K is the strongest performing and most flexible of the gen 11 i5 variants and is plenty good enough for the casual to moderately serious gamer or workstation--especially if you dabble in overclocking, but also even if you dont, this is still a little stronger than the 65wtdp locked version.
