## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: The perfect cpu - I am running this CPU in my new gaming system that I have built over the past few days and for the price point this is an absolute steal. For solely gaming and other general computing tasks this thing is a winner and blows all Ryzen chips out the park. You can easily overclock this card to 5GHz on all cores if you have adequate cooling. I am running a Noctua NH D14 which you can also pick up for about £60 on desertcart and these two work very well together. My temperatures don't exceed 60 degrees Celsius even at full load at 5GHz. Idle temperatures are around 25 degrees Celsius. For you people reading this review that aren't really into overclocking and you are asking yourself is this still a good CPU at stock? Yes it definitely is. The single core performance on this card at stock is better than any other i5 or Ryzen chip and this is still a fantastic gaming CPU with no over clocks. This listing only had around 8 reviews when I purchased my processor but I can assure that for anyone on the fence about purchasing from this seller everything went absolutely fine and my processor works perfectly.
Review: Awesome!!! i5 9600k + 1660 6GB - AMAZING processor! Using a 1660 and was previously using an i5 3570. Bought this and my system has never been faster! I've gotten almost DOUBLE the performance in nearly every game (tiny exaggeration). 6c/6t is perfect for gaming! The CPU does well in other applications too like Premiere, Photoshop, Blender, etc. If your motherboard supports overclocking, it makes this processor even better! It ran at 4.3GHz at stock, but I managed to bump it to 5GHz on all cores! (Just a note; Stock runs extremely fine as it is, But OCing will give a bit of a performance boost and if you OC right, it can provide extra stability). I don't really need the extra performance though... Using this CPU with the Kraken x63, I get around 50°c while gaming, so there are no problems in temps. 1660 6GB + i5 9600k has less than 1% bottleneck (the perfect combo) so this CPU works amazingly I recommend this to anyone, it's awesome! Don't hesitate to get this

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What kind of motherboard do you need**
A: Generally it's a K type CPU which means it's unlocked for overclocking. So you will need a Z series motherboard if you want to overclock it.
Check it's the same socket number.

From a site:

Z > H > B

H is like Z but slightly trimmed down. Good option if you don't want to pay the Overclock premium.

B is for "business" aka "cheap" for your mom, office, or school work.

**Q: Os there any way for it to run 3200mhz ram at full speed i.e overclock**
A: Hi,

Thanks for the query.

This would support those speeds however it would depend mainly on the motherboard it can be done using XMP 

Kind Regards,
Ebuyer Technical Support

**Q: Is this compatable with msi h110i? thanks**
A: Hi,

Thanks for the query.

Unfortunately; the components specified are not compatible.

Kind Regards,
Ebuyer Support

**Q: does this come with a fan?**
A: Nope. The 3600x does come with a cooler/fan though, it is a 6core/12thread (instead of 6core/6thread 9600k) and about the same price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid CPU all round. Very good for gaming.
*by C***. on 28 December 2019*

Really great CPU overall. Bought this to replace a i5 6600k so it was a relatively big upgrade. Was about 35-40% increase in performance on standard clock but this chip overclocked pretty easily. Got it running at 5Ghz on all cores at 1.372V, doesn’t ever touch above 80*C unless running harsh AVX stress tests such as Prime 95. All other stress tests sit ~75*C which I’m happy with. Gaming it normally sits around 65*C. (This CPU is paired with a Corsair H110i-GT cooler, 3200Mhz DDR4 RAM, and a MSI z390a-pro gaming). The gaming performance is really good in this chip, like really good. There is only a ~5% difference between the 9600k,9700k and 9900k according to a lot of benchmarks. So for the price point this CPU is superior to its competitors. AMD can’t compete at this price point for gaming performance - they’ll suffer a 10-15% loss compared to the i5 due to their lower single-core performance; especially when overclocked. I play most newer games at 1080p max settings and get around 60FPS. For some games such as Overwatch I get a solid 150FPS (this is capped for my monitor). This is paired with a GTX 1070 btw, and these two components don’t bottleneck each other at all.
