Solid performance for my RTX 3060 build.
I didn’t need a really fast processor and I wanted to find something that performed well and didn’t use too much power or create too much heat. I’m using a 35 dollar air cooler on this and under full load for over 10 min I never got above 68 degrees. Solid core i5, great value for an LGA 1200 build. I game with this and work with AI image generation, LLMs, video editing, etc. My system runs idle at just around 100 watts on the power supply.

Beautiful CPU
Paired perfectly with my RTX 2080, managed to get very stable and consistent fps. Itâs the perfect cpu for the average competitive gamer/content creator

El Mejor Procesador Calidad/Precio
El Procesador I5 1600KF tiene una potencia destacable, tomando en cuenta que vengo de un I5 10400, la mejora es abismal, mis Unidades M.2 pasaron de 3Gb/s de Lectura y Escritura, a unos estables 7Gb/s. Mi RX 5700 XT paso de trabajar a 3.0 a 4.0 lo cual dio una estabilidad superior a mis Videojuegos, no tanto ganancia de FPS, que si la hay, el mayor premio es la enorme estabilidad que gana y la prácticamente inexistente caÃda de FPS. Quizás solo tenga que cambiar el Fan Cooler, ya que al elevarse tanto el Uso del CPU, Renderizando en Wondershare Filmora, su temperatura excede los 80°, llegando a un tope de 84°, no es algo alarmante, pero definitivamente se puede bajar esa temperatura con un Fan Cooler mejor, actualmente uso el Thermaltake U2000.En Resumen, totalmente contento y complacido con la compra.

good upgrade from comet lake
I just upgraded from a 10600kf to this 11600kf and the difference is substantial 10-20% difference across the board .everything loading faster and running smoother . PCIE 4.0 is a hit with my western digital SN850 I go from cold boot to desktop in secondsPros intel stability no usb issues as with AMDfully supports ddr3200unlocked CPUno integrated graphics is a plus in my book I get lower temps and higher boost clocks because I am not powering integrated graphics that I will never use

Don’t skimp on your cooling
With a good flowing case and a good cooler this CPU runs cool. I use a Noctua NH-U12A chromax.black along with 7 Phantek T-30’s and it idles sub 30C.Excellent CPU for the money.

Nice gaming focused CPU – when you can get it for a good price
Was able to snag this for about $150 before taxes on a random flash sale, and used it to upgrade my home theater PC, which I mainly use for VR and more casual titles at 4K in my living room.For me, this replaced an aging i7-6700K. The performance uplift is night and day between the two, and this would make a fine chip for any new gaming PC you might put together today. Please note that the F variant does not have integrated graphics, but if you already have a GPU then this won’t matter for you. This is only 6 cores, 12 threads as well. Being an 11th generation chip from Intel, there’s no performance vs. efficiency core debate here, 6 cores is what you get.One word of caution is that as I write this review this CPU is currently listed for $199, which is about the most I’d recommend paying for this CPU. The $150 price I paid was fantastic of course, but it’s not something I would rely on getting again even with Black Friday/Cyber Monday coming soon. A newer i5-12400 will offer similar levels of performance for roughly the same or potentially less money, though that isn’t overclockable. A 12600K would blow this out of the water, but you’re looking at a far more expensive CPU. The Ryzen 5600 or 5600X are also great foils for this CPU, especially if they can be had for a cheaper price. The AMD chips also have the advantage of cheaper motherboards for that generation compared to the Intel chips at the moment.End of the day, if you can get this for a good price, go for it, but this wasn’t the absolute greatest even for its time, and newer chips can sometimes be had for a better price.

Works great for most people’s workload
I’ve been using this CPU for a couple months now and haven’t had any issues. Been able to run games and any application that I use. Currently have a gtx 1080 and will be upgrading soon, but I’m able to get 60+ fps in most games at 1440p high-ultra settings.

Sienna rules! –
I was able to purchase during Prime Days, WOW, saved 100$. The Processor is absolutely amazing, great speeds. Do not hesitate. You do need a graphics card with this as the CPU does not include Integrated GPU

Came in good condition from America and timing was quick so overall happy

I got lucky with this one, it casually boosts to 5GHz on its own without any overclocking.
