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

Easy to overclock with Intel XTU software. I set the all core clock to 4.8Ghz and let it be power and thermal limited. Runs at 4.8Ghz in with 20% utilization in iRacing with a 2080 Super. I’ll need water cooling to really push it when using more cores that that speed.

I have no problem loading anything, games, media, 3D modeling. Very fast CPU that has overclocking feature.

Very good and productive CPU!

Great cpu and all but if you’re like me and can’t buy the cpu cooler you want since it’s out of stock everywhere and expect the chip to come with a stock cooler then you’d be wrong

Intel I5 11600k, 16 GB 3200 Mhz, M.2 500 GB, Windows 10 todo se configuro sin ningún problema

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

great cpu better upgrade from previous one

Works well for my gaming pc

If youre on a budget, playing at 1080p and want pretty stellar performance this is the CPU for you. Its given me zero problems with games like Forza Horizon 5, Anthem, A Plagues Tale, Sea of Theives and so on paired with a 1660Super. The GPU is very much a bottle neck and I still get 80-100fps on high or ultra settings. If you need something to hold you for a little while till you can upgrade or even stuck with this CPU, I can definitely recommend it.

I own a Gigabyte Z490M Gaming X motherboard. It has two M.2 slots, but one that doesnt work (labeled limited functionality). It turns out that Gigabyte built ahead to provide added functionality once the 11th Gen processors were released. So, when the new processors came out, I replaced my 10th Gen i5 10500 processor with this one. Initially, I noticed six things:
