Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

I5-8600k is a great choice for a high-end processor that won't burn too big of a hole in your wallet. Upgraded from an i3-8100. Can bump up the multiplier to 102 which gives me 4.

Great for * gaming. Respectable in editing/rendering. Vcore is good.

Game runs very smoothly. With 4. Ghz and 1 ghz 1.

Cons

Since it is over 30 days, i have to deal with intel's warranty department, which takes a long time. Would not recommend.

Highlights

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Quality

Easy to install, easy to set up.

One of the best for stability while overclocking.

2ghz uncore and no avx offset with a cryorig h7 plus 145mm cooler, and it manages this at 1.

I made the mistake of not checking my motherboards compatibility with the cpu, and it only supports up to intel 6th gen.

Price

I just bought a bunch of games on steam for sale that i missed and i can play them all on ultra high settings.

Excellent cpu for the price, never run into overload issues or heat issues.

However, this processor is way too overpriced and the price to performance ratio does not add up.

I was going to get an i7 but right now the price is to high to afford it.

Packaging/appearance

This item is great, the packaging was concerning but there was nothing wrong with it

Competitiveness

I5 8600k has 6 core which make it best i5 and better than i7 7700k.

Highly recommend as the price has gotten much better on these i5.

You might wonder why i say budget chip, given amd's available offerings.
