Intel Core i5-11600K Rocket Lake 6-Core 3.9 GHz LGA 1200 125W BX8070811600K Desktop Processor Intel UHD Graphics 750

Pros: Intels newest i7 processorsupports pci gen 4plays minecraft java edition at 75fps on high settings with the built in Intel UHD 750 graphics.

Cons: price was high compared to 10th gen.

Overall Review: Overall glad I choose the 11th gen over 10th simply because I wanted to get away from relying on my ageing gaming laptop and wanted a pci e gen 4 m2 ssd. Not being able to find a graphics card was/is the only thing holding my new build back but I felt it was worth including that the built in graphics are not absolutely terrible. A lot of games should be more than playable on integrated until you're able to find a card if that's a concern of yours. My experience with this cpu is great. Its fast, temps are fine, and I don't need to overclock to get the performance I need from it.

Pros: I'm able to safely run this cpu overclocked to 5.1GHZ with a Corsair AIO cooler. It stays under 65 degrees Celsius. It works really well with the Asus Z590-A motherboard. PCIe 4.0 works with no issues for the NVMe and x16 slots.

Overall Review: Yes I'd recommend this cpu for power users and builders.

Overall Review: I was due an upgrade since I've had my 6700k for like five years. No complaints.

Pros: Good IPCs Pcie 4.0Smart access memory

Cons: Poor memory support for XMP profiles that were supported on 10th gen. Not sure whats happening here but get it together

Overall Review: The raw performance of this CPU is better than the 10700k despite early reviews being pessimistic. The most impressive thing about this CPU for me in the new added features that are supported even on Z490. I was a little disappointed that my 3200mhz ram would not run in Gear One on a z490 gaming edge. Its unfortunate. But the added support for smart access memory with my rtx 3080 and pcie 4.0 has my computer at blazing fast speeds unfortunately my RAM is clocking slower than before which is the only reason this gets 4 stars and not five maybe MSI will come out with another bios revision for the Z490 Gaming edge wifi so this CPU works the way it is supposed to. But intel promised support on Z490 and im not buying another motherboard until 12th gen launches. Z590 is a joke. Should have just worked the kinks on the

Pros: Powerful single core performance

Cons: Costly, hot, didnt receive Intel screwdriver

Overall Review: This cpu gets more fps than the 10850k I was using with 2 less cores. Although It runs kind of hot and its overpriced if you ask me. Seems solid could be better value if Intel lowered the price.Also they promised z490 support but it messes the xmp profile up pretty bad. Using asus rog z490

Pros: Better than render performance compared tp Ryzen awesome fps boost never go back on intel

Cons: hits 100 c. fast get 280 or 360mm radiator with aio or custom water cooling loop

Overall Review: bettter price to performance then ryzen 5800x
