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

over all im happy, its over clocked nice. its very optimized. if you can go with alder lake go that route but if its this or something else, get what ever you can afford

Gran procesador, la mejor compra juego warzone a 1080p 172fps con el i5 y la rtx 3060ti.

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.

Overall, first time buy and build went great super smooth intel i5 k unlocked superb for gaming and light to medium multitasking cpu can handle heavy gaming too if put up to the task.

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

Bought together with a asus tuf z590 board, practically fell together and booted issue free. Problem free xmp, pci express 4.0, and high temps in the mid 60s. For those who are die hard intel or don’t want to deal with the sourcing issues with ryzen, gaming wise this is the best bang for the buck.

I bought this to upgrade my gaming desktop. It can run anything you want so long as its paired with a good GPU. What disappointed me was the lack of a stock cooler or thermal solution. I understand leaving that out of the cheaper models like the 11400F, but this is the flagship i5 and it should really be included, especially given that the stock cooler is super cheap anyway and AMDs competing models all have a great cooler included.

Great performance / price

Why did Intel launch this CPU when the driver isnt ready? Someone at Intel told me its not ready and coming in few weeks.......just sad they want your money first

Huge bang for the buck. Runs fast with Z590 chipset. No regrets.
