Good processor for everyday computing.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Like most I have been stuck at home during the covid 19 lockdown. Looking for something to do I decided to see what I could put together for a decent price that I could dedicate for working on my 3D printing and modeling design projects in Fusion360 . I chose the i5 processor and MSI motherboard as I felt it would meet the demands of the tools required for this work. So far I am very pleased that it has lived up to the tasks intended. I assembled it on a simple vertical open framework and gives it a very Maker like appeal as well.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Getting this CPU while on sale was a great deal! Ideally I would have tried to go for an i7, but the difference in price for gaming, just could not be justified. Pairing this with an ASUS ROG Maximus motherboard, Ill be in for a good time! Dont let the i5 fool you, this CPU can still achieve some amazing results.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Great CPU for gamers in general. Can't really fend for workstations. Purchased with the CPU/Motherboard bundle sale they were offering and got it for a great price. So far so good! Speeds are excellent and have not disappointed me. Don't forget this does not come with a stock cooler. Must buy your own. I also wouldn't recommend the intel stock one either. Paired with a Master Cooler EVO 212 Black Edition

Trust intel
|Posted .For a while I researched and debated between the 9600k, 9700k or Ryzen 7 2700x for my new build and I decided to give this a shot. I’m using a Corsair h100i pro and temps are mid 40c in gameplay, although I have not overclocked yet this thing is a beast and I just know the right decision was made. So if for gaming you are building for go for Intel i5 9600k, I’m glad I did.

Great upgrade from 6600k

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I’ve had my z270 board with my 6600k for a while, and 4 cores wasn’t cutting it enough. Instead of going for an i7 7700k with 4 cores and 8 threads, went ahead and sprung for this along with a z390 board. Overclocked to 5.3GHz on a Corsair 240 aio. Temps stay at 35C idle and don’t go over 70C while under stress tests. Loving it!

Q: QuestionIs this processor faster and better than the Intel - Core i7-9700F Octa-Core 3 GHz Socket LGA 1151 Desktop Processor with Enhanced Speedstep Technology what is the difference of the Intel core i5 9600k 3.7 Ghz compared to the Intel i7-9700f 3 GHZ???
Asked by DrewTechGuru.
- A:Answer The Intel Core i7 Processor is an overall faster processor. It does have 8-Cores vs. the 6-Cores that the Intel Core i5 Processor has. No matter if you require more Cores or not, the Intel Core i7 will increase anyone’s overall Performance on every task. For the money difference between those processors, it is well worth the spend. In a couple of years, you'll be better in computing and therefore need the increased speeds anyways. So in the long run, it will save you money. The Intel Core i7 Processors have more Cores, more Cache and more top end speed. Latency becomes almost nil and execution is a lot quicker. I hope you enjoy your new system!
