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

great cpu better upgrade from previous one

Perfect chip for the price considering 12th gen motherboard prices are ridiculous this cheap well out performs for the cost and has a good board selection for fair prices

Expected performance out of a new gen 6 core 12 thread.

Being an i5 type this is the base of Intel processors. You can get the i5 types in all generations including the latest 13th-generation processors that just came out. Do your homework and see which generation/i version (i5, i7, i9) will do the best job for you. Just buying the cheapest is as foolish as buying the most expensive for no real reason. Keep in mind most i9 versions are 125 watts or more and cooling those processors is a skill in itself.

Perfect in every way. Especially the price I paid. Would recommend

Well worth the money...plenty fast for weekend gaming.

Es un excelente procesador, lo estoy dicipando con un Cooler de Aire!! El modelo q escogí es el ID Cooling SE-224 XT y lo tengo trabajando la mayoría del tiempo a 35°C. Ese cooler tiene u. TDP de 180w. Me pareció suficiente ya que no tengo pensado de momento hacer un O. C. realmente compré la versión K por la relación precio en la q la encontré. Por la falta de gráficas o muy costosas la uso con sus gráficos integrados con 2 pantallas conectadas a la vez, con varias pestañas del navegador activas, con la suit de adobe abierta y otras aplicaciones más y no siento un lag de ningún tipo en el desempeño junto con 16gb de Ram a 3200Mhz.

I went back and fourth between an i7 and this. I felt the gain in speed for the i7 did not warrant the price increase. Now I have a lightening fast system (with graphics for backup) and paid much less than an i7.

6c/12t what more could you want for $200. Its very fast and even though the TDP is 125w it almost never needs this much power for normal use and even in games. The TDP scared me at first as I only used 65w processors in the past but man was I happy with the temps.

I upgraded from an old i7 3770K which was overclocked to 4.2 ghz and while that chip served me well throughout the years, it was time for the upgrade.
