Keep in mind that the unlocked K version i5 is the full performance version and does not include a cooler like the locked i5s usually do. It's also rated to dissipate more heat which is surely why intel doesn't include one. I think the intel vs. ryzen people do entirely too much hand wringing over architecture and TDP differences between the brands. Guys, stop being silly. The truth is that unlocked intels and ryzens BOTH put out a ton of heat and both need coolers that exceed the rated TDP. For the 11600K I'd recommend a cooler in the 150w-190w TDP range. I ended up finding a good price on a Be Quiet Shadow Rock 3 which is a very nice air cooler for the i5 and probably overkill unless you're playing with overclocking. I'd also recommend the same for the congruent ryzen, by the way. The inconvenient truth is unlocked intel and ryzen both put out more heat than CPUs ought to be in this day and age and you need to spend some money on cooling any of them. At least with the 5s you can get away with upper mid-grade air cooling and definitely don't "have" to do water if you don't want to, especially if you're keeping to a budget.
The 11600Ks generally support 3200 ram with no need for ram overclocking which is great, but check the capability of your particular motherboard. This is one of the improvements from 10th gen. I'm running a couple 16gb sticks of 3200 cl 16-18-18-38 with excellent results and no funny business in the bios.
The intel integrated graphics on the 11600K is what you'd expect. It's fine for workstation/business use, can output 4k video content fine, and will get you by for light gaming, but serious gamers will obviously need discrete graphics. You can get the KF version of the 11600 if you don't want or need integrated graphics, but depending on the day, it may or may not actually be cheaper than the K.
Overall, the i5 11600K really is the current value champion for mid to upper-mid grade PC builds in 2022 to date and will continue to be until the next big price drop on the 12th gen CPUs and motherboards. You get near-i7 performance for less money and you get a bit better than current ryzen 5 also for less money. Match this up with your favorite reasonably robust cooler and a good mid grade motherboard (I like Asus TUF, but you do you) for a really great bang for the buck PC build with some lasting power.
1. This processor requires more power (125 watts vs 65 watts for the i5 10500)
2. Even though it uses twice the power, it only runs about 4 degrees Celsius hotter under an average or light workload. (I used the same 120mm liquid cooler for both).
3. The onboard graphics are noticeably improved over the previous generation chip.
4. The processor doesn't feel twice as fast, but is noticeably faster than the 10th gen i5 10500 (which was a solid processor too).
5. My second M.2 slot on my motherboard now works due to the functionality of the 11th-gen 11600k. Currently, I use one slot for my Intel WiFi card and one for my uber-fast M.2 hard drive. This frees up a ton of room on my PCI-Express ports for a really nice video card.
6. My motherboard required a firmware update in advance of installing the processor.
Words of caution before buying:
1. Make sure your motherboard has the right socket type: LGA1200.
2. Make sure your power supply has not just the four-pin power connection, but also a second 4-pin power connector (for a total of 8 pins). Most 600 Watt or bigger ATX or ITX power supplies should probably work. Often the two plugs have a connection to plug them together side-by-side before plugging into the motherboard. Don't try to use the other connector intended for a video card.
3. Make sure you have the correct firmware installed BEFORE you try to install the new processor. Otherwise, you'll waste time and thermal paste and will have to reinstall your old processor, install the firmware update, test it, and then reinstall the new processor.
4. Recalibrate your fans if needed afterwards.
My computer boots faster, plays Minecraft at a higher frame rate, and doesn't run significantly hotter. I don't overclock it. It was just so close in price to the next model down a the time, that I decided to get it.
