What customers say about "Technical Specifications"
Intel Core i5-6600K Desktop Processor
- All i can say is that you can run games in 4k at over 60 fps and OBS rendering at 1080 at 60fps. Running mine at 4.8 ghz on all cores.
- When I use Core-temp its free download to look how safe temperature during the game and its seem okay with almost less then 40c (104f) and its very fast processor.
- I've had no issues with gaming, software, or any other tasks running on my PC.
- I have had very stable temperatures using a Hyper 212 Evo. Would recommend this to anyone upgrading on a budget.
- Standard Intel processor. I have not overclocked or adjusted this CPU. The temperature runs around 40C.
Intel Core i5-9600K Desktop Processor
- This processor is so fast for everyday use and gaming.
- Easy to install and a very fast gaming cpu for the money.
- Runs most games in 2k on ultra settings no problem.
- Easiest installation ever, extremely fast processor.
- Worked right away and simple to install. Amazing performance.

What customers say about "Cache And Memory Specifications"
Intel Core i5-6600K Desktop Processor
- Used this processor for my friends gaming build. Does the job great and is very fast and cool. Temps do not exceed 43 degrees Celsius on air cooling.
- This processor very fast and easy to install, i like it. It worth it. I would recommend it. I am very satisfy with my purchase. I would buy it again. Thank you
- I can't complain, this processor is fast and efficient. Right out of the box I was getting 3.9 Ghz without any overclock.
- New DDR4 memory has been a disappointment too (but finally improving in price and clock speed).
- Also Skylake CPU is overall no faster than the previous generation. New DDR4 memory has been a disappointment too (but finally improving in price and clock speed).
Intel Core i5-9600K Desktop Processor
- Supports enough memory. Very satisfied.
- With this processor you can get the ideal speed for your memory.
- Outstanding compatibility with memory and other components.
- I highly recommend this processor. Works perfectly with 64GB of storage.
- The 8700k is better than this for a cheaper cost because of its hyper threading.
