Intel Core i5-13600K Desktop Processor 14 cores (6 P-cores + 8 E-cores) 24M Cache, up to 5.1 GHz

its super fast, runs cool with a D15

Very good cpu. No problems. Could get warm with air cooler. Overkill cpu for my purposes.

The 13th gen cpus from intel are very impressive. This i5 is no slouch either and can throw its wieght around with the i7 and i9s of previous generations. In Cinebench i got a score of 23605 points. I have an aio 360 ml cooler on it and my temps rarely get above 50c when Im gaming or editing. At idle it stays around 30c. Under load the temps did not go above 80c. This CPU will pair fine with any gaming setup and its ddr5 compatible with is a bonus.

Absolute best bang for the buck... I wanted to go i9 or at least i7 but with this latest round of intel processors, the extra $100-$150 per upgrade just did not seem worth it. I am very happy with my i5. Paired with an RTX 3060 TI, I am running super smooth with ultra graphics on most games that I am playing.. Currently playing Hogwarts in 4k borderless ultra graphics and ray tracing and maintaining 60 fps on a 4k television... Love it. It is so much faster and smoother than my other PC running the latest AMD processor.

I bought this CPU for a media/storage server I was building and I have not been disappointed. I am running Unraid OS with a number of Docker containers including Plex as well as virtual machines. Having 20 vCpus is awesome for some low requirement virtual machines and its transcoding ability is great for Plex.

Best value you can get right now, and its really no compromise of performance compared to an i7 considering the price

This is my first intel system I built. Always been AMD and saw the 13th gen out. Figured was worth a try. It did not disappoint. Only thing is the MSI board overvolts it stock, so temps were always hitting 100 degrees, even with water cooling. Set the Vcore to 1.2v and no longer getting hot.

This is an excellent price to performance CPU and outperforms the 5800x3D. For the price the performance is exceptional and impressive and highly recommend this over any current gen CPU

I LOVE THIS CPU. Its marketed as a value chip for the performance conscious gamer - at least in the reviews Ive seen but that misses the mark. At 70 fewer watts than the i9-13900K you can actually cool the thing on air and enjoy similar single core performance, and with a respectable multicore performance score as well.

amazing, has handled everything I have thrown at it, over overclocked or tuned anything yet.
