This is still a fantastic processor, especially for gaming and it will pair perfectly with any of the powerful new graphics cards. With a little bios overclocking, it will run stable at 5Ghz on all cores. This has hyperthreading, with 16 threads and this makes mincemeat of heavy desktop workloads. If you can get one for under £300, you have a very good value to performance processor, that will last a number of years still, amidst this current climate of constant cpu releases.

It was a bit expensive but since I bought it second hand, I think the price was worth the way it's running. I paired it with a z370-g motherboard and have it running slightly overclocked at 4200 mhz, rather than the full 5000 mhz that it can do. I also bought the AIO Corsair H115i Pro cooler, which keeps it at around 50-60 degrees. They say that processors degrade over time, so I'm expecting it to last another 3 years, since I imagine the person I bought it from used it for at least 2. He said he didn't overclock it which would extend it's life some.

If you can grab a deal on this it’s still relevant In 2020/2021 - intel hasn’t moved on much and this is still super fast and has enough cores to deal with any game or productivity workload. It’s a beast still. Just make sure You have a good cooler.

Amazing overclock ability This cpu hits 5.2ghz easily and maintains a low temp whilst doing it on auto using an Asus formula XI board and the Asis bios software - you don’t have to “do” anything. It runs everything I’ve thrown at it with ease. It is pricey - but you get what you pay for and I wanted the best - I got it.

Absolutely excellent processor. I had the i5 9600k in my iMac. This was by far the cheapest and easiest way to take my machine to the top. The rendering time has improved drastically and it is a much faster machine overall.
