Absolutely astounding processor! Cool, fast and able to do everything. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Great price love how fast and smooth it is I would buy this again for my son pc build

Great value to performance for gaming and plenty to gain with good cooling.

Great so far! No issues on any title on max settings

Enough for anything, plus it runs 2 different pairs of memory at XMP timings like a champ.

The best CPU for gaming hands down. Great single and multi threaded performances while being affordable AND being DDR4 compatible. Will last me for a few years pairing it with a 4090 until DDR5 performance fully matures.

Great bang for the buck. Performance is at the same level as my 5950x and 12900 cpus. Good compliment to my rtx 4090.

Let me start by saying this is the best CPU for the money on the market at the moment. Very stable and runs a lot cooler than you'd think. I paired mine with a 360mm Arctic Freezer 2 and it runs at 60 degrees stock and goes up to like 70 at the most on OC. I managed to OC mine to 5.5 on P core and 4.3 on E core and it's stable. Give it 2 sticks of RAM at 16gb each and this puppy will make you really happy. I put this in a Aorus z690 ultra mobo and it's perfect with 5200mhz RAM.

Replaced PC part fast and convenient to deal with best buy every time

Best cpu to pair with a rtx 4070! Great price to performance in my opinion.

Does what it says on the tin and works on my LGA1700 board.

Really good paired with the 4070ti at 1440p resolution.

love this processor so much, really great quality!

Good for 1080p gaming however 13th and 14th gen’s are just bad go with amd

Awesome processor, really strong and also quite hot haha but it is for sure performing and you can also overclock it to its best capabilities and it's an awesome processor in general

I recently upgraded to the Intel Core i5-13600K 13th Gen processor and it's been a huge step up. The 14 cores make my computer really fast, whether I'm gaming, working, or just browsing the web. It goes from 3.5 to 5.1 GHz, so it's super quick but also flexible depending on what I need. I noticed everything runs smoother now, even when I have lots of programs open. It was easy to install, and it's been reliable since day one. This processor gives me exactly what I need for a great price. Couldn't ask for more.

This is a great processor with a good price point. It allows me to do everything without lag or issues and is able to be over clocked. I would recommend this to you if you’re on the fence.

Solid cpu. Best cpu I've ever used. Amd can't touch it at the price. It's about to go down in price due to 14th gen. The 14th gen isn't any better. Just slightly more power efficient. Save your money and get the 13th gen. Just know you absolutely NEED at least a 240mm aio to cool it. If you have a water cooler, great but get ready to spend more on a cooler. Once you get it properly installed and cooled, it's a big boy cpu with big boy pants performance. Don't hesitate, just buy it. It's that good. I have a feeling, it'll be hard to replace in the future. I think we're looking at the next 2600k. I'm betting you'll use it for a decade and not think twice about it.

I wanted something a little less hot than a 13900K that I also own, but also something that would perform well for my work-from-home PC. The 13600K fit that bill perfectly. It still does run hot out of the box, but I undervolted it and I am able to keep temps between under 47 degrees when I process my work apps, and at idle it hovers around the mid 30 degree marks on average. I don't game on this particular PC but I do have a 4060TI card on a Z790 DDR5 mobo if I did want to do some light gaming and I am sure it would be up to the task easily. I could not recommend this CPU enough, but just know it can run hot so keep that in mind.

Great Cpu, Great price! Just installed this in my wife's new build and it powers through everything I have thrown at it! Runs games with out a hitch! I plan on buying another for when I rebuild my computer!
