Core i5-9600KF Processor 3.7 GHz Box 9 MB Smart Cache – Processors (Intel Core i5-9xxx, 3.7 GHz, LGA 1151 (H4 Slot), PC, 14 nm, i5-9600KF)

For the price you pay, this is a great CPU. It's great for a workstation, and even has it's merits in gaming. Although it may not be the best CPU on the market, it's rare to be a bottleneck in any computer worth less than £1000 *** Pro's *** - CPU works great, it has longevity and I never encounter any issues with it - CPU has overclock potential which is nice to know - Unfortunately this CPU doesn't come with a cooling fan like many do, so you'll have to buy this separately *** Con’s *** - In some more taxing systems this might not be the right CPU for you, as it might not be good enough Great CPU for work systems, and also with gaming. I'm able to run almost all games on the highest graphics at a consistent 60 frames even with a 2k monitor.

In January I bought an i3-9100f after reading some decent reviews on it's capabilities, however I found it was bottle-necking my PC performance in most games. I upgraded to an i5-9400f thinking it would be enough, but I still struggled with performance. After purchasing and installing the i5-9600kf I noticed the PC was significantly more stable in games. Paired with an Nvidia gtx1660S I was able to achieve 50-60 fps at 1440p with high settings in RDR2, and most other games I get a stable 60-70 fps even at 1440p with high/ ultra settings. Those same games would only achieve 50-65 fps at 1440p with the i5-9400f and it was much less consistent, so it was definitely worth upgrading. If you are thinking about the i5-9400f or anything less powerful, you should definitely consider the i5-9600k or 9600kf. Note that the KF range do not provide graphics (signified by the F) so if you need to use CPU graphics instead of GPU you will need the i5-9600k, not the 9600kf.

Just upgraded my pc build with an MSI z390 A Pro mobo and have been able to get this baby to 5Ghz with a core of 1.34v. I'm getting temps of 30 degs idle and high 60s load with a decent cooler. This particular model the kf doesn't come with onboard graphics or fan. My last cpu was the legendary 2500k had both so if you're coming from an older gen be aware that this is just the cpu. Performance wise I'm hoping that I can get though a few gfx card gens before it becomes a bottleneck, I had to upgrade my [email protected] as it was struggling and holding back my 1660s. 3dmark cpu score is around 6960 which is 13% improvement on the base settings (turbo up to 4.4ghz?), so not bad. Intel have given less room for enthusiasts to squeeze more performance than in previous gens. I was seriously looking at the ryzen which gives superb multithreaded performance which is useful for multitasking and processing tasks however I don't use it for this, mainly for gaming so i stuck with the tried and tested intel. The ryzen wasn't really that much cheaper.

Great for a mid range system if you want Intel. Unfortunately does not has multiple threads but it is good for most games due to its high clock range when overclocked.

Important to know is that this has NO ONBOARD GRAPHICS, so you'll need a separate graphics card, however in terms of performance mine has overclocked really easily to 4.5Ghz and is outpacing many i7s on userbench. Great processor - especially for the money. I use my PC mostly for software development with Visual Studio and music production with Ableton, it's able to run complex projects on both without even breaking a sweat. Highly recommended.

Upgraded from a seven year old i3 3700 so the improvement was instantly noticeable. Most people would probably laugh at this chip and wonder why I didn't go with something more expensive and powerful. However after plenty of research I decided this was all the power I needed. No integrated gpu and no cooler fan is fine since I bought those things separately anyway. I like that it's unlocked even though I have no plans to overclock it. Good to know I can if I so choose.

this is a great processor, improvement in games speed and frame rates. all around performance increase.. a must buy .. and its super overclockable. it you need it to be. mine is at standard speed (3.7ghz, but intels/asrocks boost 2.0 boosts mine to 4.6ghz across all 6 cores.).. great buy

The product was faulty but with a very subtle fault. Sometimes it would cause the motherboard to get stuck on Vga Error. Since it didn't happen for a long time I ignored it, now it happened again but this time the pc won't boot. I tried a different GPU, different ram, different PSU... It could be the motherboard but I've seen reports of Intel processors failing like this for other people so I'll go with the processor. I would've returned it but I moved regions so I guess I have to suck it. Edit: I had the same issue on a new motherboard, after replacing all parts the only common part is the processor.

The Intel Core I5 9600KF Unlocked is great for budget gaming computer. I had no problems with this CPU. I have had it for a few months with no problems (I did not overclocked this CPU). This CPU is all around great, I recommend getting this CPU for budget gaming computer. Great CPU for the price!

ik heb er een mooie gading pc gemaakt

Amazing product was able to overclock my system to 5ghtz with no problems and didnt go past 45 degrees with using my liquid cooler

Atendeu as expectativas e com uma entrega super rápida. Chegou certinho, lacrado e bem embalo. Única observação, prepare-se para trocar de cooler pois ele esquenta bastante, de preferência um water cooler caso você use para jogar.

Intelのcpuはゲームに強い K付きの熱は少しだけ高いが空冷の虎徹で充分冷える ワットパフォーマンスもRAIZEN3600より高い しかしマルチ性能だとRAIZENの足元にも及ばない 腹の底から声を出してIntel何しtelと叫びたい 配信や動画編集もするならハイエンドにするかRAIZENの二択 純粋にゲームだけなら9600KFで充分
