Hyperthreading would be nice, but not needed in most cases.

So if you look up the overall performance margin between the i5 9600K or KF in contrast to the i7 9700K, it's quite minimal. The i7 does have hyperthreading which makes it's multi-core performance better however, like I said... the overall performance is quite minimal, so in vast majority of cases the i5 will give you plenty of performance, and at $200 at the time I bought this, I thought it was a good deal. The i7 was $300, and a week after I bought this came down to $269, which is on that borderline of being worth it over this chip... but if you're just gaming and a few other things, this is perfectly fine. If you are constantly multitasking or have any heavy workflow, then you might want to opt for the i7. This chip is actually going to run my Linux plex server. I currently have an i7 10700K in my main rig, so I can attest to both chips being solid performers in most workloads. ... More

For a while I've had a major CPU bottle neck, in hopes of balancing performance with budget I came across this chip. Since my motherboard was only LGA1151 this was a perfect match, unlocked CPU with a boost clock up to 4.6Ghz I was blown away by the performance and dependability of the chip. A few pointers for new builder, order a cheap Celeron processor before you make this upgrade. It does not have integrated graphics :)

Included Thermal Solution: None said right in the specs

Awesome processor! Over clocked with an AIO cooler this is perfectly matched with my rtx 2070. Like all K intel processors, it is unlocked and does not come with cooler. It is intended (even if voids the warranty, hence Intels Extreme Tuning Utility) to be over clocked, which a cheap stock cooler would not be adequate.

Stable, performs well

I recently upgraded my family room MMPC which is connected to my Sony TV (also bought from B&H). This computer is used for watching streaming content, playing PC games, etc. The CPU, while not the screaming top of the line, does very well for playing PC games.

It's a great piece of hardware, but man was that an obnoxious install. The instructions are just images and it's really not that clear. it's got this weird x shaped mount that it sits on. One thing I can warn you about is it is very tall - it barely fit in my case. I liked that it has the option to hook two fans to.

I upgraded the MB and Processor on my Win10 computer and after a few hurdles everything is great and the performance was well worth it. The Free 2-day shipping sure helped too! Thank you B&H.
