Q: What would be a good motherboard to go with the i5 13600k?
A: I would say nothing less than a z690 based board. just choose a brand that has the features you like. But if you are wanting a z790 board then the best for your money is going to be the Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX (There a 2 versions, 1 that's DDR5 and the other that is DDR4)
A: The new Z-790 motherboards would be able to use this without doing a BIOS update as they are already 13th Gen ready.
Q: Does this CPU come with a cooler or do I have to buy one separately?
A: CPU cooler sold seperately.
Q: Can the Intel-core i513600k be used in an HP Omen Pc-870?
A: Greetings from the Intel team. Thank you for your question. Please contact the system or motherboard manufacturer before upgrading your desktop processor. They are familiar with your system specifications and the different upgrade options available. Make sure that the BIOS supports your new processor. A lack of BIOS support for your processor can cause the system not to boot or display.

A: Greetings from the Intel team. Thank you for your question. Yes, the Intel® Core™ i5-13600K processor is compatible with the PRIME B660M-A AC D4 motherboard and will work with it. The Intel® 600 Series and Intel® 700 Series Desktop Chipsets are scalable chipsets designed for motherboards that support the 12th Gen, 13th Gen, and the recent Intel® Core™ desktop processor (14th Gen). Intel® 600 Series and Intel® 700 Series chipset-based motherboards require a BIOS update to boot the Intel® Core™ desktop processors (13th and 14th gen). Intel® recommends updating the BIOS on systems for compatibility before updating your Intel® Core™ desktop processors.

Great value for performance.
Best bang for buck cpu on the market. 14 cores and single core oc at 5.8ghz with ddr5 ram 7200mhz xmp 1 with no issues. Temps are running cool compared to the i9. Perfect cpu for gaming. Built 3 pc's for friends with this cpu and they are all amazed at how fast this i5 performs for there gaming needs. Will recommend to any one wanting to build a new gaming pc.

Perfect for Photo Editing and Gaming
I built my first PC a little over a year ago and used this cpu. I do light photo editing in lightroom, as well as some gaming and streaming. I wanted a cpu that could handle everything, and this was definitely a good choice. I haven't had any issue with overheating, amd haven't stressed the cpu at all with what I do.

Very nice processor
Highly recommend this brand new processor for the price. Was looking at this or the new Ryzen 5 7600x. At the time both were $300 and this blows the Ryzen out of the water. At the time of this review the Ryzen is now $250 and the Intel i5 13600k is still $300. Highly recommend this Intel processor but both are good choices. Nice upgrade from my old Intel core i3. I’m running this for gaming at 1440p with a 3060 and get great fps and low temps.
