What Buyers Say
Intel Core i5 9600K 6-core LGA 1151
72 out of 100 low confidence 5 reviews
The Intel Core i5-9600K is a solid mid-range processor with a 4.6 GHz turbo frequency that handles gaming well. However, the OEM version lacks a cooling solution, so you'll need to buy one separately. Overclocking is possible with proper cooling, and it works with most Z390 motherboards.
Pros
- High turbo frequency
- Good gaming performance
- Overclocking capable
- Compatible with Z390 boards
Cons
- No cooling solution included
- OEM version lacks warranty details
