Does the job like a champ
Installed into supermicro ITX motherboard. Fast and capable and does it all without getting super hot.Daily driver usage running RedHat 9, keeps up just fine

Purchased used, works perfectly
Good value for money as a second-hand product. Cleaned and repacked professionally by the seller. Seems just as fast as the i7 6th series it replaced

No Problems
This has been a trip but I am using this since I do not trust the newer generations of CPUs.I chose 8th gen versus 10/11/12th generation since I am trying (Actually Doing Now) dual booting Windows 7 & 10.Just remember that you NEED a compatible MOBO if your going to be doing that. Also remember that Microsoft and Intel are trying to STOP PEOPLE FROM USING OLDER OPERATING SYSTEMS, actually putting impedences in the CPUs to not run those operating systems anymore.Intel i5-8500 is stable, great speed and base clock at 3 GHz ramps up to 3.99 GHz without tweaking any profiles.My Setup:MSI MAG B365M MORTARIntel i5-8500MSI Geforce GTX 1050ti(2x) WD Blue HDD 1TB**All I want to do is use photoshop and emulate PS2 games. Does the latter perfectly fine, and yet do the former but no doubt will run like butter. Shadow of the Colossus and Gran Turismo 3 run at 60fps at 720p with only 30% usage of CPU and GPU, max spike 60%. At 1080p 38-52% CPU and 50% GPU usage, max spike 70% for both CPU/GPU.**

Great processor
I love this little processor. I bought it in a machine that I use for mostly web browsing and playing games. It is a champ. They have also made these a lot easier to install than what I remember by getting rid of the pins. With the six cores, I felt it wasnât worth the cost of going to an i7 and have not been disappointed.

A pleasant surprise
This purchase was to replace a 9900K that was roasting and wasting away in a 2U Microserver. I have to admit that at first, I was skeptical. No worries! The i5-8500 with 6 cores and 630 Igpu has done its job with my plex server and runs at a cool 94/106 Fh. I did not use the stock cooler, however, instead, I used the Noctua NH-L9x65, Premium Low-Profile CPU Cooler (65mm, Brown) found here on Amazon. The 6 cores are more than enough to serve files and the i9 9900K is back to a safe place in another pc. I hope this helps someone. Good luck and Godspeed.

I got lucky and needed this days after it was released.
Good bang for the buck. Only a few dollars more that a 8400. Half the price of the really bad boy stuff. For my use its all I need. I’m still running a 3rd generation I 5. When things give good service I tend to go back for more. I even bought some Intel stock to go with it. Up about 25% already…

Linux Perspective
Works perfectly with Linux Mint 19.1. This is the snappiest PC I have built. The six true cores really shine with a super fast SSD.

I bought this processor to couple it with a ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-F gaming motherboard and Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB 3000MHz RAM and a Samsung SSD. I use this system for video editing using Pinnacle Stuido and Premiere Pro. It works like a charm.

Nice mid-range i5. Definitely recommend if you just want a mid-range intel and don’t plan on overclocking.
