Customer Ratings & Reviews

90-100% cpu usage while playing almost any game. Very, very jittery, constant frame drops. This is a horrible processor for the price and from a company held so high in the cpu market. The red sides counterpart (guess im not allowed to name it for a comparison) literally never hit 100% while doing anything when i had it, the highest I ever saw was in the 60s. This intel cpu is strictly for gaming. The counterpart was capable of video editing, recording gameplay, and very smooth gameplay. If i record gameplay with the i5-9600k, i lose about 40-50 frames on every game, and it freezes/unfreezes every 3 seconds, whereas the other cpu didn't even lose a single frame. I really wish it wasn't too late to return this cpu. Very disappointed.

Excellent cpu for it's price point, performs amazingly without any hitches, and has 6 cores to top it off, is overall amazing for any budget oriented pc.

Very good processor for what I need to do on my computer.

Love it, ran well never had an issue with overheating or anything. Used a Corsair AIO to cool it

Solid Performance for standard power user every day use.

Used this in a mid range pc build with a vega 56 gpu. Overclocked it to 4.9ghz and held havent tried a higher oc on it but for my needs this was fine.

This is a great 9th gen i5. The best 9th gen and worth every penny. Highly recommended plus the 9th gen motherboards are a steal. Perfect for gaming

I bought this for my son who is building a gaming computer and he's happy with it. "has great handling, has multiple gaming compatibilities."

It’s a quality product with no defects on mine at least. I was recommended to buy it for my first build and I love it.

Returned the product because AMD Ryzen 3rd gen is a better value at the price they are selling. Intel is still best in terms of single core performance but AMD has it in terms of multi-core performance and overall value.

Pros: Fast single-core speeds Integrated UHD Graphics for HTPC use, etc Cons: Poor multi-threaded performance (no Hyper-Threading) Relatively low overclocking headroom on reasonable voltages

This motherboard is great! It has everything I needed and the slots for everything are convenient and make it easy for cable management

I never regretted buying this processor. It improved my computer performance in VR and and other games.

Was on the fence about a cpu but this was the best you can get in an i5 currently. And it’s darn close to i7 performance for a lot less

excellent processor lasting a long time after purchase

This chipset was exactly what my son wanted. Boxing was perfect. After start up it performance was higher than expected.

This is a review so I can get them juicy extra review points cause I really need them

This was a good upgrade from my older i5-2500k. System speed and game frame rates increased a noticeable amount.

Overall it is not a bad product at all I would recommend this if you are plan on gaming

Used with a aorus ultra mb, and nvidia 2080 gpu intel shows just how powerful they can make their cores.
