Customer Ratings & Reviews

Amazing processor for the price. Intel has provided a processor that competes and at many times, beats its last generation i7. This is a decent feat for an i5 processor and it lies at an amazing price for a midrange build.

I recently invested in a new processor, and it has exceeded my expectations. The performance boost is palpable across various applications and tasks. Whether it’s demanding software or intense gaming sessions, this processor handles everything effortlessly. The multi-core efficiency is commendable, ensuring smooth multitasking without compromising speed. The energy efficiency is a welcome feature, contributing to a cooler overall system. In summary, this processor stands out as a powerhouse solution for users aiming to elevate their computing experience to new heights.

Have yet to run into any issues with heat or any bottlenecks or hiccups with task such as blender, gaming or studio clips. been rather good to me.

The i5-13600K is a great value and punches above its weight. If you play videogames and have a RTX 4070/4070Ti, these two pair up extremely well. While an i7-13700K may seem like the better CPU, it is at least $100 more. The performance difference in videogames is very minimal. A few frames per second. It has been able to run everything I have thrown at it including workstation programs. Video editing programs run smoothly. Highly recommended for price and performance, without sacrificing performance. A great value.

This is a great CPU for gaming and I would argue that it is all that is needed for the overwhelming majority of titles, especially if you play at higher resolutions such as 4k. You can easily spend too much on a CPU, save yourself some money and get this instead.

All speeds and settings setup just right, don't have the cooling for OC as temps run high on this. However, significant improvement to everything I bought it for which is what I was looking for.

Great for the price in my opinion, paired with a 4070 runs any game with no problem.

Great processor runs games that I love playing at a high fps for an affordable price!!

While it dows run hot, I've had zero issues so long as proper cooling systems are installed. The best processor for value on the market.

Solid performance for a mid range system, no complaints! Stays pretty cool with a 240 AIO even when running multiple applications and gaming. If you don’t NEED the best or the best, this is a good budget option. Would still like to see the prices come down more in line with what budget/midrange Intel was like a few years ago, but in the current market it doesn’t seem like we will see that any time soon

Got this chip and it works great. In benchmarks is performs close to it's bigger brothers at a better price and runs cooler. Have no complaints!

Excellent performance. Im super please with the 13600k. Handles overclocking very well.

Very fast and good product worth every dollar and looks good too

This is a great cpu for the price. It doesn’t fet much better than this. I paired it with a rtx 3080 12gb for a great build.

Amazing CPU, be careful when choosing your cooling solution though. This chip runs pretty hot. Never use stock thermal paste.

Such a really good cpu for the price i have it paired with a 3070ti and works great without producing much heat.

This core has turned out to be a little power house for video editing on a budget while also doing very well for gaming. Highly recommended.

I'll admit it runs pretty warm and that thru me offf but I really like how powerfull this thing is.

Great upgrade from my i9-9900kf. I did a ton of research and even made the mistake of getting a 12th generation i5 before realizing there was more value in the 13th gen. The performance increase from my old i9 has been noticeable and worthwhile. My mind is at ease knowing my PC is future proofed for at least 4-6 years...Riiiight, I'm an enthusiast and most likely will upgrade before then, but at this point I am satisified with a top-tier i5 and not longing for an i7 or beyond.

Love this i5-13600k. Especially when compared to the i7 of the same generation. Save your $$ and get this instead of the i7.
