Intel Core i5-7600K 3.8 GHz QuadCore 6 MB Cache CPU - Black

I'm overclocking at 4.8ghz (hitting 72c max temp under artificial load for an hour with a Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo) and I couldn't be happier with this processor for an upgrade over my Pentium G3258. It of course came along with the upgrade to an LGA 1151 motherboard and DDR4 RAM, but it was definitely worth the cost. I'm using a GTX 970 with this processor until I can save enough up for an upgrade, and I'm getting very respectable framerates (I shoot for at least 60 and can get this on all of my games). This isn't massively relevant to the processor though since it's mostly tied to the performance of my GPU, but the point is you shouldn't be experiencing a bottleneck if you're using a single GPU with this processor. It's probably not worth getting this chip as an upgrade to Skylake, and you can save yourself a further twenty quid if you aren't overclocking. However if you do decide to go with an unlocked chip you can't do much better than this at the moment if you're building a PC with gaming in mind (especially in terms of cost to performance with i7s coming in at quite a bit more expensive for what really are diminishing returns in regard to frames per second). The chip didn't come with a stock cooler, which I didn't miss and doesn't necessarily make the most sense since it's unlocked and you should really be using an after-market cooler to take advantage of that anyway, but if you wanted another stock cooler to add to your collection you will be missing out. Don't forget to be careful with your mobo since Kaby Lakes might not work out of the box on certain motherboards, and to overclock you'll really need a Z270 or Z170 (if you can get a BIOS update, which you do need a working processor for first or to have faith that the manufacturer/seller has done that for you already). I'd say you're getting pretty good value with this processor, and it's pretty ideal for a gaming PC!

I have just replaced a computer that had this processor in it for over 7 years without incident and I'm amazed that Amazon is still selling it. Be aware that it won't run Windows 11 but otherwise it's a perfectly acceptable CPU.

As far as I recall installation was fairly easy. I used a good quality thermal paste to get better cooling on the CPU. I am only now thinking about putting on fresh thermal paste as the temperature can get over 70c. I still don't overclock it as I believe this severely reduces the life, when until recently I haven't needed the extra processing power. I use HWiNFO64 to monitor my computer as it seems to do a very good job and is free. This Intel CPU was expense on 25.4.17, at £216.79, but it has lasted moderate use for over nine years. So for value for money I would give it a 4/5.

Well I don't know what to say, it works as expected at first I was like, this is going to help me destory my enemies...... then I woke up and felt relieved that I could go on any game and destroy players, feeling and knowing is two different things I'm a gamer and I'm killing just fine with this cpu if not I'm overkill with this cpu I hope this helps for any concerned gamers out there GAMES I PLAY r6 siege Cod black Ops 3 Player unknown Skyrim Fallout 4 Garry's mod All dead space games H1z1 And csgo I think theses are all the main game I play but destiny 2 will be added to this collection I hope that narrors it down for anyone who is interested and I get easy over 60 fps in every game here proven And I'm running a gtx 1060 gpu

Used this in my second home computer, kind of a media server. Slightly overkill but I'll keep it until it's life end. Encoding seems quick enough for me, and other than that I never out perform it's power. It should be good for gaming, but I've got a separate rig for that.. I could use this as a future back up however. It's expensive, but worth it in my opinion.

It's an i5-6600k, but better in both temps and clock speeds, at the same price (at the time of my purchase). It's a no-brainer. Though do take note that to make the most of Kaby Lake's new features and the unlocked processor, you'll need a Z270 motherboard. It's backwards compatible with Z170 and other Sky Lake motherboards but the motherboard BIOS will need to have the latest update with Kaby Lake support. I also don't recommend anyone to upgrade to this from a Sky Lake or Haswell/Broadwell i5/i7 unless you're experiencing bottlenecking as the improvement may not be worth it. Also, if possible, I'd recommend waiting for AMD Ryzen CPUs to come out so you can compare fairly and not regret getting Kaby Lake too early (I had to get it early because birthdays exist). TL;DR wait for Ryzen if you can and do your research, if you're going for a new build and can't wait for AMD Ryzen or dislike AMD or are upgrading from an old system, then I couldn't recommend this CPU more.

Upgrading from a very capable i3-4150 due to unexpectedly having a budget for doing so. I have found much improved performance in most area's. Programs that I use regularly include MatLab, Visual Studio, Photoshop and also some Gaming use. I would consider that these would be the most challenging things that I would be throwing at this and it is a siginificant improvement in terms of speed than the previous chip even though their clock speeds are similiar. The additional cores and decreased power consumption seem, along with the newer architecture, to contribute to a much more powerful feeling machine.

If anyone is having trouble with ''no post'' with this motherboard + intel 7th gen kaby lake processors, then make sure you have firstly diagnosed all parts in your build are working e.g. ram, mobo, psu, cpu. If all parts are working i.e. by using your new parts in another compatible system. If you still get ''no post'' then it means your mobo has an older version of BIOS installed in which case you have to update it by downloading latest version on the asus website on a usb drive. (please note to get pc to post, you will need a compatible 6th gen processor). This will allow you to update your bios and then you can put back your 7th gen cpu back in the pc and it should now POST! Good luck! I wasted 3 weeks on trying to get system to post/ replacing parts or buying new ones. Only to find out my pc won't post because my 7th gen cpu is too brand new to be compatible with mobos BIOS.

The i5-7600K is an excellent processor for anyone that is building their PC within a reasonable budget. The processor runs cool at it's stock speed, when paired with an CM Hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler. Overclocking capabilities, with obvious reasons, will depend on the CPU cooling of choice (whether liquid or air cooled).

ho montato il processore , ma con mia sorpresa ho notato che e' uno scalino piu alto rispetto agli altri processori, ho infatti notato sulla base del dissipatore Be Quiet il segno del processore stesso, peccato e' cosi bello il dissipatore che si e' graffiato, la scatola riporta made in malasya, comunque il processore va bene, veloce , rapido nelle sue funzioni, riscalda pochissimo , di base funziona a 3.8ghz ma appena occorre scatena la sua potenza, direi inudibile in tute le funzioni anche le piu pesanti , per il momento sto usando il dissipatore Alpine11 che sorprendetemente e' piu silenzioso che mai, con i3 surriscaldava molto e faceva rumore, ho provato per circa 6ore il sistema e devo dire che sono rimasto positivamente contento di questo i5 7600k . la grafica nei giochi e favolosa, non ci sono paragoni , con tekken 7 sono rimasto a bocca aperta, nemmeno la playstation4 pro arriva a tanto....... la temperatura e' sempre bassa non riscalda mai sopra i 50gradi sotto stress. penso non lo usero facilmente in overclock visto che va molto bene cosi per il resto va bene per tutto sembra un i7... usando la migliore memoria , un buonissimo alimentatore e il dissipatore non di stock perche i dissipatori intel sono penosi. Per il resto mi resta un buon i3 che quando vorro' mi dara sempre soddisfazioni montato con tutti i componenti in piu che ho , compresa la memoria, mai sotto stress, siamo sul multimediale e non in una stupida consolle sony che per qunto possano fare e' Solo una Consolle---complimenti a intel per la professionalita messa per costruire questi processori meravigliosi. ou monté le processeur, mais à ma grande surprise j'ai remarqué que c'est un pas plus haut que les autres processeurs, j'ai remarqué sur la base de l'évier Be Quiet le signe du processeur lui-même, pitié et 'si gentil l'évier qui est rayé , la boîte dans tous les rapports MALASYA, cependant, le processeur va bien, rapide, rapide dans ses fonctions, chauffe très peu, des pistes de base à 3.8GHz, mais dès que nécessaire de laisser perdre son pouvoir, dire inaudible dans les costumes même les fonctions les plus lourdes, pour maintenant j'utilise le Alpine11 évier qui étonnant vieux « plus silencieux que jamais, avec i3 très surchauffé et de faire du bruit, j'ai essayé pendant environ 6 heures sur le système et je dois dire que je suis positivement heureux avec ce i5 7600K Télécharger. les graphismes dans les jeux et fabuleux, il n'y a pas de comparaisons, avec 7 tekken je étais étonné, pas même le pro playstation4 vient à beaucoup ....... la température est toujours faible ne chauffe jamais au-dessus de 50 degrés sous tension. Je pense que je ne l'ai pas utilisé facilement en overclocking puisqu'il est très bon donc tout le reste est bon car tout ressemble à un i7 ... en utilisant la meilleure mémoire, une très bonne alimentation et l'évier pas stocké car les dissipateurs intel sont douloureux. Pour le reste, je suis juste un bon i3 que quand je veux « me donner plus de satisfaction équipée de tous les composants de plus que moi, y compris la mémoire, jamais sous stress, nous sommes sur les médias et non pas dans une console stupide sony pour qunto peut faire et 'Seule une console --- compliments à Intel pour le professionnel mis en place pour construire ces processeurs merveilleux.

Si quieres armar tu primera pc y no quieres gastar tanto y a la vez tener un buen rendimiento, este procesador es ideal, mantiene buenas temperaturas y el poder que entrega no es nada despreciable. La gráfica integrada es muy buena ya que reproduce vídeos en 4k sin problemas y algunos juegos en calidades medias a 30/40 fps. Obviamente es mejor con una tarjeta de vídeo. Como ya lo mencione es excelente para tu primera pc.

Il prodotto è arrivato puntuale, ben imballato e protetto. La scatola contiene ovviamente solo la CPU in quanto la versione K con il moltiplicatore sbloccato per l'overclock non è fornita con il dissipatore. Si consiglia una soluzione a liquido precisando che è assolutamente necessaria in caso vogliate procedere a overclock, mentre se lavora ai regimi di fabbrica si ottiene un adeguato raffreddamento anche con un dissipatore ad aria di buona qualità (ad esempio Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO o, meglio ancora la serie dei Noctua). Non sognatevi solamente di utilizzare un dissipatore stock Intel recuperato da qualche vecchia CPU perché rischiate di fare danni. Recensisco positivamente questo I5-7600K, premettendo che non ho proceduto all'overclock e ho associato un dissipatore a liquido Cooler Master Seidon 120 V3 Plus. La Frequenza base di questo processore è 3.80 GHz, la frequenza turbo massima 4.20 GHz si attiva automaticamente (verificate i settaggi della scheda madre dal BIOS per vedere che la funzione boost sia attivata). A tali regimi, con il dissipatore indicato ben montato con adeguata pasta termica (conta molto metterla bene), dopo un lungo ed attento monitoraggio con le diverse attività svolte, gaming compreso (anche se molti giochi non sforzano il processore), posso dire che la temperatura di esercizio della CPU varia tra i 40 e i 60 gradi con punte di 70 gradi toccate solamente dopo una sessione di 1 ora di stress test mediante l'utility MSI della scheda madre, quindi assolutamente accettabili e sicure. Al di la delle specifiche tecniche che si trovano agevolmente sia qui che sul sito della casa madre, mi sento ancora di sottolineare due cose: la prima, positiva, è l'ottimizzazione di questo sistema KabyLake di settima generazione che ha portato a ridurre il consumo in Watt della CPU rispetto alla sesta generazione SkyLake; la seconda, negativa, che si tratta di un sistema diventato ormai "vecchio" con l'uscita dei nuovi CoffeeLake di ottava generazione, quindi occhio al prezzo e fate bene le vostre valutazioni anche in quest'ottica. Io, ad esempio, guardo sempre il prezzo e aspetto che le nuove generazioni vengano prima ben testate sul mercato prima di accaparrarmele. Giancarlo

Rezensionen beginnen ja gerne mit "Für den Preis...", aber so würde ich hier gar nicht anfangen. Mir fiel es bei all der Auswahl, die es an Prozessoren gibt, sehr schwer einen auszusuchen. Die Bedürfnisse hängen natürlich sehr von der Nutzung ab, ich wollte aber auch eine Grundlage, auf die ich in Zukunft aufbauen kann, sofern ich einmal eine anspruchsvollere Nutzung entwickeln sollte. Ich habe mir den Prozessor hier zusammen mit einem neuen Mainboard (ASUS Z170A) geholt. Ich wollte nicht zur obersten Preisklasse greifen und merke jetzt, dass das auch gar nicht nötig wäre. Ich hatte vorher einen i3, etwas aus dem Jahr 2012 und war total begeistert, als ich bemerkt habe wie schnell mein PC jetzt ist. Systemstart in 10 Sekunden, in Kombination mit meiner neuen SSD werde ich mich erstmal nicht mehr über die Geschwindigkeit beklagen. Mir hat anfangs der Überblick über kampatible Produkte Schwierigkeiten bereitet. Der Sockeltypus, der für die Kompatibilität mit dem Mainboard entscheidend ist, sollte nicht erst nach einer Nachfrage benannt werden! Das ist soweit aber auch der einzige Punkt, den ich kritisieren kann. Der Versand lief problemlos.
