## Description

Buy

Review: Great Processor - Excellent Cost/Benefit - Bought this processor to upgrade my partner's frankly ancient gaming rig. I found installing the processor a cinch, especially after watching a couple of demonstration videos on YouTube first. The processor has a couple of notches in it which align to the processor slot on the motherboard perfectly. Just make sure you touch a radiator or some such to discharge any static before you handle it! Lift the arm on the motherboard to raise the processor socket assembly, drop the processor in, and then bring the arm back down. A little plastic cover pops off as the assembky clicks into place over the processor. The performance of this processor is great and more than adequate for gaming when paired with a decent graphics card. I installed a mini GTX 1050Ti and have found the set up for more than ample for most gaming needs. You can expect to play most games at medium to high settings depending on the demand of the game engine. Overall very, very happy with this purchase and have found its performance excellent so far. Please Note: This is for the processor ONLY, there is no stock cooler bundled with it. I bought a Coolermaster CPU cooler for about £30 which is virtually silent.
Review: Beastly CPU for gaming - Bought this to go with a new gaming build- I installed it into an Z370 ASUS MAXIMUM HERO X motherboard along with 16gb of corsair 3200hz RAM and a GammaX400 cpu cooler. The new 8th generation intel cpus are beasts to say the least, you can see a real different from 6th and 7th gen with the extra 2 cores and coffee lake architecture. Good overclocking potential too: using ASUS's own OC software I easily overclocked my i5 from 3.6Ghz to 4.75Ghz with no problems whatsoever, thought if you want to really push it I can see overclocks of 5Ghz+ being possible (if a bit potentially unstable.) In conclusion this CPU is perfect for a gaming PC or a high power workstation- it was definitely worth the £200 odd I paid for it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: would this be better for gaming than an i7 7700k?**
A: In real terms the difference is insignificant, invest in a decent graphics card like a 1070ti or better - if your already running titan or sli, then you might notice a few frames on a benchmark, but not in real terms gameplay.

**Q: What cooler will fot the 8600k**
A: Do u even PC wtf.. All of them

**Q: Will the corsair h100i cpu cooler work with this?**
A: With Water coolers it is more about compatibility with your case (size wise) and motherboard that you would have to think about. The processor will simply fit into the motherboard slot and take any cooling solution that is compatible with the motherboard and case.  Having said that though you probably won't need water cooling with that processor a high grade fan cooler would probably do. If you want to have a compatible build I would suggest using PC part picker. If you google that web page you can slot in your hardware into the available fields and it will tell you if they are compatible with each other.

**Q: Does it work in a 7th gen motherboard or would i have to buy the standard i5**
A: Hi,
This doesn't work with a 7th gen motherboard. You would need an 8th gen specific motherboard for this CPU to be compatible.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Price performance - Save money
*by M***N on 30 January 2018*

Intel New Coffee Lake i5 8600k 6 core unlocked CPU requires a z370 motherboard and 6+power phase Board if you want good overclock. With CPUs coming out every year you might see a better and cheaper CPU before next year so you might need to buy a new CPU & motherboard when you upgrade. Hence I dont recommend spending a lot on motherboard unless you upgrade after 3 years or more. Overclocking: Greatly depends on your sample. My previous 8600k did 4.7GHz @ 1.31v 90c where as this one does 5GHz @ 1.31v 85c Gaming Performance: From stock to overclock speed the performance gain isnt that noticeable unless you got 3000MHz or higher speed ram and also GTX 1080 or above for 100FPS plus on 1080p. If you got a lesser GPU or slower ram you can save money by opting for i3 8350k or i5 8400. Productivity: Acceptable performance when overclocked however a 8700k might be better choice as more core/threads helps. Power consumption: My i5 8600k CPU stock total system pull 110 Watts cine bench load 40 watts only idle. When overclocked 5 GHz at 1.31v 85c the cine-bench load went upto 200 Watts from wall ! I found my 24/7 sweet spot power/performance 4.6GHz @ 1.17v 65c & 45 watts idle 140 watts cine-bench load. Summery: 8600k and 8700k both priced high for the performance you get. I paid £230 for oem sample.These are the fastest unlocked intel CPUs now however the performance gain from a sky lake isnt that noticeable. However upgrade from sandy or ivy or even older generation definitely worth it. Overall I am happy with my processor. I hope my short review will help you to decide your purchase. Thank you.
