I will note: THIS CPU DOES NOT COME WITH A COOLING FAN! My previous i5 had come with a fan and I expected this to come with one as I did not see it listed as CPU only no fan. Well there's no Fan but that's ok because I had already bought a Noctua cooler to go with it anyway. They have the best mounting system I've ever seen hands down! From what I've seen most CPU's no longer come with a fan anyway...which I didn't really know prior. So if you buy this or any other intel CPU make sure it has a cooler or buy one with it!
This CPU, like any i5, is great for pretty much anything including gaming but it does have it's limits. I overclocked it to 5.0ghz and I'm pretty sure I could go further if I wanted but no more than 5.2. Works great and no issues!
The gaming pc's I have built have been serviceable for as long as 5 years, with my last one retired utilizing an i5 3570K which my wife had been using when I upgraded my system in 2017 toan i5 7600K.
Both of these sysytems rocked gaming for me, never a problem, glitch, slowing of frame rates etc.
When the 3570K system started having some motherboard issues, I rebuilt a pc for my wife integrating the bulk of my 2017 i5 7600k build into it. She has a blazing fast pc and is quite content with it.
Filling the void, I built my current system with the Core i5 9600K, using a 1TB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen3x4 ssd as the main drive and a Samsung 1TB evo ssd for secondary. This is the fastest pc I have ever owned, with remarkably fast boot up and loading speads. The M.2 ssd makes boot time from the appearance of the bios screen to Windows between 4.2 seconds the fastest and 4.8 seconds being the slowest...remarkable.
Gameplay is fantastic. I mostly play FPS & 3rd person shooters, and a few other type games like the Tomb Raider series. It may of course be my imagination, but evrything appears to be faster, more sharp and extremely fluid. I' sold on this cpu!
I would definitely recommend it.
Pros: Everything!
Cons: None!
I can say, I am very happy with this system. I gained a significant amount of performance from the old CPU. A good 25 to 30% in frame rates.
One game I play a lot is Star Citizen (Alpha stage game in development) and I was worried the loss of the threads might kill my frame rates but it didn't. Playing 1440 resolution and I am gaining 5 to 10 fps on planet landing zones and out in space or on moons I am now hitting 55 to 70 fps. Was outside Port Olisar and running a steady 55 fps. Very happy.
I actually got my whole system delivered in a matter of 3 days (paid for shipping) while many AMD CPU and boards won't be in stock for weeks. I ended up saving money because most of what AMD has available has gone up in price. Oh well, maybe in 5 years I will get AMD.
In my experience, mainly using this chip as a workstation CPU, I find that it's a little lackluster especially for 4K video editing but that's just due to the nature of it being a more or less budget CPU. If you want the best bang for the buck, then the AMD Ryzen 5/7 line can be had for a lesser price (or same price for a ryzen 7) and you will have much better threading performance which is very useful for video editing and rendering.
As a gaming PC, this thing rang SWBF2 at ultra setting without a hiccup thanks to a beast graphics card so no complaints as a casual gaming chip.
Overall, if you are not buying a motherboard that can over clock this CPU, you're wasting your money. The i-5 shines when you start boosting it. Especially for gaming and tasks that don't require multiple cores for optimized usage. Be warned it does run a little hot because of it's high voltage and the fans will start spinning fast early.
Be sure to buy a silent fan or don't go cheap on water coolers with cheap fans.

Punti di Forza:
Il principale punto di forza di questo processore è senza dubbio la sua performance. L'i5-9600K è infatti un vero e proprio campione di velocità e multitasking, capace di gestire anche i carichi di lavoro più pesanti senza alcun problema. Inoltre, nonostante le elevate prestazioni, il calore generato rimane sempre nei limiti della norma, un dettaglio non da poco se consideriamo che un'eccessiva temperatura può ridurre la vita del processore e danneggiare altri componenti del PC.
Punti di Debolezza:
Nonostante l'i5-9600K sia un ottimo processore, non è esente da difetti. Il primo è legato al costo: se da un lato la qualità e le prestazioni sono indubbie, dall'altro il prezzo potrebbe risultare proibitivo per chi sta assemblando un PC con un budget limitato. Un altro aspetto da considerare è l'assenza di un dissipatore nella confezione, elemento che dovrà quindi essere acquistato separatamente. Infine, per sfruttare al meglio le capacità di overclocking dell'i5-9600K, sarà necessario disporre di una scheda madre e di un sistema di raffreddamento adeguati.
Conclusioni:
Nonostante alcune piccole pecche, l'i5-9600K è un processore che consiglierei senza esitazioni. Che siate gamer, professionisti o semplici appassionati di informatica, con questo prodotto avrete a disposizione un componente capace di fare la differenza. A tre anni dal mio acquisto, posso affermare di essere pienamente soddisfatto della mia scelta e di non aver mai avuto motivi per pentirmi.

En mi caso, este procesador representa todo lo que he querido tener para obtener una PC todo terreno: navegación web con muchas pestañas abiertas al mismo tiempo, edición de vídeos, ver videos bajo demanda, respaldo de archivos, incluso jugar con buena soltura incluso sin añadir una tarjeta grafica dedicada. Mientras la PC me acepte todo lo que le eche, estaré satisfecho. Después me las apañare para conseguir una NVIDIA RTX 3070, si se resurte de nuevo el mercado con suficiente stock.
Este modelo no incluye el disipador chusco que suele incluir Intel en sus modelos mas básicos y algunos de alta gama que no incluyen la denominación K, ya este este modelo esta desbloqueado de fabrica para realizar la practica del overclock, siempre y cuando se instale en una placa base con el chipset Z370/390. Se aconseja adquirir un sistema de refrigeración personalizada ya sea de aire o liquida AIO/custom para hacer overclock, para evitar dañar el chip, así como contar con una buena fuente de alimentación ATX certificada y una pareja de RAMs con perfil XMP que estén a su altura, para asegurar el éxito.
