Intel® Core™ i5-11600K Desktop Processor 6 Cores up to 4.9 GHz Unlocked LGA1200 (Intel® 500 Series & Select 400 Series Chipset) 125W

So far so good. Not a buggy bios on z590 pro ax however I am using the f5 bios.. works so far and runs good ill keep updated.

I bought this to upgrade my gaming desktop. It can run anything you want so long as its paired with a good GPU. What disappointed me was the lack of a stock cooler or thermal solution. I understand leaving that out of the cheaper models like the 11400F, but this is the flagship i5 and it should really be included, especially given that the stock cooler is super cheap anyway and AMDs competing models all have a great cooler included.

The i5 11600k is, at the time of this writing, really the best value in CPUs on the market. You have to pay a bunch more to get a couple more cores in an i7, while an i3 is only a bit cheaper for certainly less performance. Meanwhile, Ryzens are just too much extra money for frankly a little less performance. They may have a huge marketing cult, and they are very good processors to be sure, but if youre trying to maximize performance for the dollar, the Intel cores still have the edge. The i5 11600K is the strongest performing and most flexible of the gen 11 i5 variants and is plenty good enough for the casual to moderately serious gamer or workstation--especially if you dabble in overclocking, but also even if you dont, this is still a little stronger than the 65wtdp locked version.

Well worth the money...plenty fast for weekend gaming.

Using this in the ASUS TUF Gaming Z590-Plus WiFi motherboard. To my surprise, it also came with its latest BIOS update, so no need to flash it so far.

Wouldnt boot with my ram at its usual stable xmp settings even though its worked fine for over a year with my old processor and it runs insanely hot. Will be returning and going back to my i3 10100. Will probably get a tried and tested 10th gen cpu instead because they are cheap and reliable right now. Maybe in 6 months when the mobo manufacturers fix their bios 11th gen will be viable.

works perfectly fine with my new rig

Very good and productive CPU!

Perfect in every way. Especially the price I paid. Would recommend

Received the item with the seal already broken. Upon suggestion from Amazon support, I used it for a couple of days where I encountered some performance issues with the item.
