Intel Core i5 4590S 4-core LGA 1150
72 out of 100 low confidence 7 reviews
The Intel Core i5-4590S is generally well-regarded for its value and performance, with users praising its speed and included cooler. However, compatibility with older motherboards may require a BIOS update, and the integrated graphics are not ideal for 4K gaming. Overclocking is not supported, and the lower clock speed compared to the i5-4590 is a trade-off for lower power consumption.

- Comes with cooler
- Good performance
- Low power consumption
Cons
- BIOS update may be needed
- Integrated graphics weak for 4K gaming
- No overclocking support
- Lower clock speed than i5-4590
