    If you build new desktop pc is very tricky story for found the good compatibility motherboard. The market at the moment 2024 spring show so many different type of motherboard unfortunately not all motherboard recognise it 13th gen processor. The best if you research on factory company website. But I was bought first motherboard is not recognise 13th gen processor. Funny because the motherboard card case is show the picture on the front compatible 13.gen processor but not. In the game I5 processor is good enough but high temp so choose better cooling system. I suggest I7 processor. Better performance. Less temperature. Not to big different on price.

    This CPU is probably one of the best you can get a the moment for price / performance. It's great for gaming especially when connected to a good GPU like the RTX 3070.
    My plus points -
    Low power usage compare to the i7.
    Keeps up with all games
    Price/performance is spot on.
    Negative points:
    Needs a good motherboard!
    The CPU does not come with a fan and you need a good one! If you are going to run this thing flat out, make sure you keep it cool. Don't spend only £30 on a cheap fan!

    For a primary gaming pc build just hit the buy it now button, you will not be disappointed, its super fast and will deliver all you could expect. it's a big upgrade for even the 12th gen intel cpu's.

    There is though a problem I would like to draw your attention to, not an issue with the processor itself. Rather a problem with the lga1700 mounting/retainer on the motherboard. It is far too tightly fitting, putting excessive pressure on both back and front edge of the cpu, with a real (and well documented) risk of bending the cpu. This is easily overcome with an aftermarket cpu retainer, for less than £10.00 thremalrite supply one that allows even well distributed pressure to hold cpu in place without this risk.

    Amazing CPU.

    Mine is running cool and quiet. I recommend the 13600k over the 14600k, as they're essentially the same Raptor Lake CPU. 13600K doesn't ship with a cooler, for anyone interested. CPU, instructions and a sticker.

    This CPU is very good i upgraded from an i9 9900k and this CPU is actually much faster I would recommend an 5600 ram though to pair with this because of it been a newer CPU I did notice a 5600 ram ran fine on with this CPU also the ram has to be ddr5 not ddr4 just so there's no issues go for the i5 version if upgrading from a older gen CPU because the i5 is actually fast saves money on electricity and also it saves money having to go spend alot on the i7 or i9 then if you choose the i5 version a 850 psu will be just fine I definitely would recommend this version though

    Processor for gaming is great give about 20% more fps than a amd3900x. It loads significantly slower into windows though even with a 7700mbs drive. So good and bads. Easy to install, just match the arrows on cpu and mb. Check manufacturer of mb to make sure bios update from z690mb done before cpu in or you can update from usb drive.

    Reviewed in Germany on 7 June 2024

    Mein PC war in die Jahre gekommen und ich wollte ihn auf Vordermann bringen. Ich dachte daran, die CPU mit OnBoard-Grafik, den Speicher (DDR5) und das Motherboard auszutauschen. HDD, SSD, Netzteil und Gehäuse wollte ich in der Planung belassen.
    Ich habe in der Vergangenheit sehr gute Erfahrungen mit einer Intel CPU mit integrierter Grafik gemacht. Da ich kein Gamer bin, sondern mich hauptsächlich mit Audio- und Videobearbeitung beschäftige, habe ich mich bewusst gegen eine dedizierte Grafikkarte entschieden und lieber die Grafikeigenschaften der CPU genutzt. Das so gesparte Geld habe ich lieber in die CPU investiert.
    Nach intensiver Recherche im Internet und unter Berücksichtigung meines geplanten Budgets entschied ich mich für die Intel Core i5 13600K CPU. Diverse intensive Tests zeigten ein sehr gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis im geplanten Kostenbereich. Selbst teurere i7 und i9 CPUs konnten in Sachen Leistung nicht mithalten.
    Nach über zwei Monaten intensiver Nutzung ziehe ich ein sehr positives Fazit.
    Für die integrierte Intel UHD Grafik habe ich wie empfohlen Intel ARCS installiert. Laut Beschreibung werden damit auch viele aktuelle Spiele unterstützt. Habe ich nicht ausprobiert, die von mir verwendeten Programme laufen sehr flüssig.
