Intel Core i5 9600K, S 1151, Coffee Lake Refresh, 6 Core, 6 Thread, 3.7GHz, 4.6GHz Turbo, 9MB, 1150MHz GPU, 95W, Box is rated 4.9 out of 5 by 12.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Mid-Tier CPU Ok, so this came as an upgrade from an i5 7th gen. The reason I went for the i5 9th gen is that it perfectly suits my needs. The most important thing isn't to have the best top-range of everything, but to have the best thing that suits you and your workload. It's great for gaming, programming, game dev and any other day-to-day usage. It was also on offer and one of the most popular models sold. Goes incredibly well with the recommended CPU cooler. It worked magic for my old one and just the same here. Even under heavy load, I don't get anything over 50-55 Celsius. Guaranteed to last me the next 3-5 years under these circumstances.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pukka Primarily bought this for gaming with a side of 3D creation, I Was thinking about getting the i7 9700k because it has the extra core count but I settled for this 9600k and I couldn’t be happier. Performs well In both gaming and 3D work. Paired with a noctua nh-l9x65. Temps are even when the turbo boost is active.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Intel Core i5 9600K - review I bought this CPU because i wanted to build my first medium range PC. I never built a PC before so when it was the time to install it i was a little nervous but luckily it was very easy. You need to buy a cooler because the CPU doesn't come with one. I wanted it mainly for games so i can't make any inputs regarding programs like Photoshop and i haven't it overclocked it. Until now my PC is fast af, i had no problems, my games run smooth like a hot knife in butter. Exactly what i wanted. Definitely recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great budget CPU Best budget CPU I could find for the performance I was looking for. Plays all the latest titles with no fuss.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good for a cheap gaming CPU Its a really good CPU, i would recomend Water cooling though.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from One of the best CPU’s for the price I managed to push a stable 5.1GHz overclock on 1.3V with temps never exceeding 71C under full load, and I still had room to play with the voltage and clock speed. Needless to say this CPU is a great performer for the money, and is more than adequate for gaming, video editing, streaming etc.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good upgrade from an i7-920 It had to be time to upgrade from an i7-920, and this seemed to be a reasonable replacement. Installation was easy. I am using it in an Asus Prime Z390-A motherboard with a Noctua NH-U12S cooler and 16 GB of Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200 RAM. This is definitely an improvement on my old system - games such as Crysis run much more smoothly, and Windows 10 is that little bit snappier. I am definitely pleased with this CPU.

Compatible Motherboards

I am helping a friend upgrade their CPU and it looks like they will likely need a new motherboard along with it. They currently have a Z97-P if that mattered. Can you recommend any motherboards that are compatible with this 9600K?
