Intel Core i5-10600K Desktop Processor 6 Cores up to 4.8 GHz Unlocked LGA1200 (Intel 400 Series Chipset) 125W

Works well as expected! Have not ran into any issues after owning for about a couple years now!

So, I know AMD has become the dominate force in CPU's but when I couldn't get ahold of a Ryzen 5 5600X and I heard AMD was having a lot of chips failing I decided to go with the i5-10600K "Especially when the price dropped from $260 to $230" This chip though it has a 125w TDP runs very cool with my 240mm Fractal S24 Prisma AIO (Idle Temps inside a Corsair 4000D case are around 81-82 Degrees "F" Inside a room that stays around 72-73F)CPU has some serious Overclocking Room. Gamer Nexus showed this CPU beating out a i9 in Gaming with proper RAM and CPU Overclocking, and the results are repeatable because I've tested this myself and found this CPU to be a little monster for Gaming performance. We all know the i5-9600K was the best Gaming CPU for the longest time and the i5-10600K is basically just a i5-9600K 2.0 that's been revised and improved.At the $230 price tag I would highly suggest this CPU to anyone who wants to stick with Intel and running on the LGA1200 socket. (Please keep in mind that my results are on a water cooled AIO setup so please don't expect the same results)PC Setup:Case: Corsair 4000D Air FlowMOB: ASUS Rog Z490 E (DO NOT SUGGEST THIS BOARD OR COMPANY!!)CPU: i5-10600KRAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB 3200Mhz (16gb Kit)AIO: Fractal Prisma S24 AIO 240mmGPU: EVGA FTW2 1070TiPSU: Seasonic GX750 Gold 750wSSD: Samsung EVO 840 (1TB) WD Blue (500gb)This has been a very strong setup for the money so far, so feel free to copy of it what you want.I just wouldn't use the ASUS Z490E "It arrived broken and ASUS refused to help me at all, so I ended up having to solder and Super Glue on a $300 board to fix the damage from the factory"

I bought this to upgrade my sons gaming PC and I have to say this thing is a little workhorse with the overclock feature. I wanted a better CPU without having to upgrade the MOBO and get faster, better performance without bottlenecking. This does the job.I have it paired with an MSI 460G Mobo and a Nvidia RTX 2060 super and the performance is much better. CPU is running at 60-70 C maxed out (which is well within spec), so I am going to add a liquid cooled fan to bring that down, but even at the 60-70 there's no lag.If you're looking to make an upgrade to your 10th gen system without having to get a new Mobo, this is a great option

Works amazingly

Following advice on a website for Linux Gaming builds, I chose the combination of Intel i5-10600K desktop processor and MSI MAG Z490 Tomahawk motherboard, This combination works extremely well with Ubuntu 21.10 and the Linux 5.13 kernel. I use MSI's XMP (all the time) and CPU Boost (some of the time). Very stable, and not excessively hot. I combine this setup with Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB DDR4 3600 (PC4-28800) C18 1.35V desktop memory and a tower cooler. Check the fitting of the tower cooler before you buy. I had to go back and get a Noctua NH-D15S to have enough room for memory clearance. Modern gaming motherboards don't allow room for much besides a very carefully-designed tower cooler.

If you have an older Intel platform PC and are looking for an upgrade or an Intel motherboard that is languishing, this is a decent solution. If not, don't invest in a chip like this -- several generations behind -- just to grab a board with it until the combo is dirt cheap.

10600k is a great processor as anyone who has researched them knows. With my custom water cooling loop, and a z490 motherboard I’m running 5.1Ghz overclock, with 5.0Ghz all core overclock(standard all core is like 4.3Ghz I believe). Under a stress test my cpu temps do peak around 80C, though all my gaming loads have peaked temps around 50-60C.The only hitch I had ordering this processor from Dealzone distributors was that the package was sent with “signature required” upon delivery option, and they were unable to change that. I work daylight hours so had a high chance of missing the delivery window. They(the seller) did at least promptly reply even though it was a holiday weekend. I ended up making a fedex account to change the delivery to “pick up at local fedex location” instead of delivery to my home because of the signature requirement.

I use this proccesor on my PC and i love it! works really great don't have any issue to say, is very fast easy 190 FPS on Games and 60 stables on Flight Simulators sometimes 40 FPS but is okay, the simulators are pretty machine demand, but don't get over 50 grades with my Cooler Master Liquid, the base frequency is pretty good, i think is the fastest on the market i never see a processor with 4.1 Ghz of base Frequency, with OC can reach 5.3 Ghz easy with no problems! Buy it! Incredible price!
