Intel Core i5-13600K Desktop Processor 14 cores (6 P-cores + 8 E-cores) 24M Cache, up to 5.1 GHz

temps was going crazy high, 100c in 3 of the 6 p cores with msi z690 edge but cinebench complete without throttling,

Upgrade my wife PC from an i5-8900k to help with WoW (didnt make a difference)

I am using this in my first PC build and it was pretty easy to install and seems like a really good value for the price-point.

Im glad I waited for Raptor Lake because this chip is frequently outperforming the i7-12700k or is at least close enough to call it even. Upgrading from an i7-4770 to this chip has been insane. Highly recommend for gaming.

Es increible y absurdo la cantidad de potencia de este procesador, en gaming va excelente, en desktop es excepcional y las temperaturas con air cooling no superan los 65C°, 100% seguro de que es una buena opción calidad precio.

The 13th gen cpus from intel are very impressive. This i5 is no slouch either and can throw its wieght around with the i7 and i9s of previous generations. In Cinebench i got a score of 23605 points. I have an aio 360 ml cooler on it and my temps rarely get above 50c when Im gaming or editing. At idle it stays around 30c. Under load the temps did not go above 80c. This CPU will pair fine with any gaming setup and its ddr5 compatible with is a bonus.

If you want to wait for 4090 or 7900xtx choose this one or buy a used 2080super

Going from an old 4790K to this thing is like going from a biplane to the Concorde jet! This processor will crush any game out there. My main game is Flight simulator and the price to performance boost is outstanding. My old 1080SC is now the bottleneck in my system but both of them together makes even flying a helicopter in downtown New York, on multi-player, on high-end settings smooth as butter and the processor just sits at 55-60c! Amazing! The final piece of my new build was 32gb of corsair vengeance and I couldnt be happier unless I won the lotto.

I LOVE THIS CPU. Its marketed as a value chip for the performance conscious gamer - at least in the reviews Ive seen but that misses the mark. At 70 fewer watts than the i9-13900K you can actually cool the thing on air and enjoy similar single core performance, and with a respectable multicore performance score as well.

To think that an i5 nowadays has 14 cores/20 threads is just crazy. This CPU is very capable and handles anything I throw at it with ease. Does the average user really need even an i7 or i9 at this point?
