Worked just fine but.....
I built my very first PC during what seem like a black Friday shopping “season” and I decided to go with the i5-10600K for PC gaming. My initial experience was just fine and there were no issues getting this CPU working right out of the box. However, after watching popular YouTube tech channels, I quickly had buyer’s remorse as most explained that a 6 core, 12 thread CPU is likely not going to cut it past 3 years+ for AAA gaming. So even though my initial PC experience was just fine, I went ahead and returned this for an i7-10700K instead which has 8 cores, 16 threads which should provide some PC longevity for gaming. Everyone’s situation is different, and if you are looking at buying this CPU, have confidence that it will work just fine out of the box and will likely meet your immediate PC needs. Likes: Easy to setup after installing Dislikes: Cooling fan not included Oh, by the way: If you want PC horsepower with some longevity, you might want to opt for an i7 or i9 series CPU. I think the i7 will meet the majority of peoples needs though.

Very fast and stable CPU right out of the box.
Great cpu, Installed on MSI z590 pro Wi-Fi, works like magic,everythin from games at 4k resolution 60hz to internet and casual cumputing is executed 2x faster and stronger than others cpu I had in the past( paired whit corsair 2x8 gb and msi z590 also purchased here at best buy). Windows load 3x times faster than other cpu/motherbards combo. its take 10 to 15 seconds to have windows loaded at the welco,me screen 10 more seconds to antivirus and other components to load. very happy whit it chose intel over Amd having the best of best at 2021 current time. thanks

Don't overthink it, it's an Intel chip
Upgraded from a i7-7700 and it's amazing how much faster this is. Primarily bought because I felt my old cpu was bottlenecking me in games like Warzone. Warzone jumped from 90-120fps with a 3080 up to 130-170fps Don't overthink it, Intel is still the best chip for a gaming pc. Ryzen you will deal with more issues with drivers, etc. and all those cores/threads aren't needed for gaming. Someday? maybe but they have been saying that for years
