    Best Bang for the Buck

    Best Bang for the Buck
    I have all 3 9th gen chips in various machines. i9 9900ks, i7 9700k, and this i5 9600k. I have all of the OC to 5ghz sync'd on all cores. I am telling you that on a z390 mobo there is no better value than the i5. I was actually grouchy about how well this thing did compared to my i9 considering how much more it cost. I put it in a gaming PC build for my 12 year old son (pictures attached) and it is KILLING it all day long. Paired with a 2070 super I think is the best value in PC gaming, even with the 10th gen intel out. 6 cores, no waiting. Definitely recommended for the price, so long as you can do a basic 5g overclock, which there are plenty of videos our there to show you how. On that note I recommend an ASUS Motherboard for the very easy to use BIOS in this matter.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Un Processore per Governarli Tutti
    Reviewed in Italy on July 10, 2023
    Nel corso di questi tre anni, l'i5-9600K ha vissuto momenti di intensa attività e giornate di relativa tranquillità. Dal fotoritocco al rendering, passando per sessioni di gaming ad alta definizione, non c'è stato un solo momento in cui abbia sentito il bisogno di un processore più potente. Il vero test, però, è arrivato quando ho iniziato a lavorare da casa, dovendo gestire diverse applicazioni contemporaneamente. Nonostante il carico di lavoro, l'i5-9600K ha dimostrato di essere all'altezza della situazione, permettendomi di svolgere le mie attività senza alcun rallentamento.

    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.

    Reviewed in Canada on February 10, 2021
    Ive had like all my friends tell me this wasnt going to work, though I may upgrade in due time, still they were all wrong. All these kids who played xbox then bought a pre-built PC and thought that a 'i7' is better than 'i5' because of a two number difference xD I can run BattleFront II Maxed ULTRA settings, Anti aliasing and the whole nine yards turned on in Nvidia CP, I dont optimize it in GEFORCE Exp either; with the wrong settings it helps sort you out but if you have good settings with good performance itll just weigh you down,I have preferences set to in game for most of the Nvidia CP but theyre high asf, I mean this thing isnt cranked to 100 but DAYUM, it delivers. Mind you this is ALL on HDR10 50" TELEVISION xD I know. I need a monitor, its coming, btw I get a solid 40-60 frames 30 in ERY intense situations, thats because I need a better monitor lol this thing is 120Hz for TV but its not your standard 165Hz monitor which I require. ANYWAYS. Shes a beaut and barely hits 100% in extreme situations. Like currently my CPU is at 10-15% Usage, GPU is at 15-20%, VRAM at 44% and RAM at 37%. With like 7 programs running. In game My GPU maxes 100%, thats normal guys lol, VRAM will be like 60-70%, TOPS 90-95% on insane games, with the RAM constantly following at arounf 7-15% behind it, And the CPU maintains a strong 80% with Quality and performance High and well, even at 100% on Space Engineers it handles fine, Frames and all, but i dont wanna push her, thats why I disable any extreme performance overrides in my motherboards software manager. Sony Vegas btw this thing handles flawlessly for editing with right settings. just disable Extreme performance from your Motherboards Software manager and turn it to a balance setting, and also shes VERY quiet with right cooling installed, I myself have a water cooler and 14 fans for internal. CONCLUSION: BUDGET, BUILT, BOLD, BEAUTIFUL. No this is not a Mascara commercial this thing is just good.
