    The speed at which the processor operates in everyday use.

    During the execution of demanding applications (e.g. games), the frequency may automatically increase up to the Maximum Processor Frequency.

  • Cores

    The natural individual processing units that the processor has. The more cores a processor has, the more efficient it is in running multiple applications simultaneously. For simple use, 4 cores are sufficient, while for gaming and video processing, at least 6 are recommended.

  • Maximum CPU Speed

    The maximum processor frequency is the frequency that the processor can reach when executing demanding applications that use one core. Generally, when running demanding applications (e.g. games), the frequency can automatically increase up to the Maximum Processor Frequency depending on the number of cores in use. (the fewer cores are active, the closer they can operate to the maximum frequency)

  • Unlocked

    Ability to change the processor clock settings to achieve higher operating frequency (overclocking).

  • Cache Memory

    Cache is a very fast memory that acts as an intermediary between the processor and RAM. It stores data that is frequently useful to the processor for faster access.

      There is no need for many words about this processor. In every comparison, it is significantly above any other in the category at the same price. It comfortably overclocks to 5.5-5.6GHz with patience and proper settings. It easily handles up to 4070ti/4080 without causing any delays.

      This review is about the packaging: Box

      Coming from an i5 8600K (at 4.7GHz oc) which would reach temperatures of around 90 degrees in heavy games, I expected similar temperatures from the i5 13600KF. On the contrary, during a stress test (for 15 minutes), it did not exceed 75 degrees. In games, I see even lower temperatures since it is a beast and doesn't struggle at all. Was the upgrade worth it? The difference is chaotic! It is cooled by a Dark Rock 4 and I am completely satisfied. It was combined with an ASUS Prime A Z690 and Corsair Vengeance 32GB 5600mhz RAM. Overall, it requires good cooling, otherwise you will experience throttling, and a good power supply. The max TDP under full load was 181 watts.

      Very powerful CPU,
      The only negative is the temperatures it reaches.
      With Pure Loop 2 FX 280mm, it experienced Thermal Throttling during Production (rendering).
      In Gaming, it performs at decent levels, with a maximum temperature of 82 degrees in CyberPunk 2077.
      It is paired with the RTX 4070ti Tuf gaming from Asus and installed on the B760 motherboard (Asus' premium model).

      The reason for the -1 star is that you need to spend at least 100-150€ on cooling to unleash its full potential, and in this case, there are better options in the price range of 450-500€ that come with cooling

      I combined it with 6000mhz c30 RAM and Asus' 280mm liquid cooling. Temperatures are fine with liquid cooling, up to 65°C while gaming, up to 85°C during stress tests at 1.4v... I will try to lower the vcore because it is simply too high.

      edit: After half a year, at 1.24v undervolt which I unlocked thanks to the motherboard that supports having older microcode, it doesn't exceed 50°C while gaming and 70°C at max load.

      This review is about the packaging: Box

      I am very satisfied coming from a 9700k and finally stepping up to the 6900xt.
      Now to the basics:
      4k gaming up to 6-7 hours did not exceed 47-48 degrees, except in some games that use the CPU.
      I would recommend UV or manual voltage, as the default 1.35 is too high. With 1.20mv, it reached 5.5ghz, but I left it at 5.1 with the default max turbo at 1.163mv. There's no logical reason to go higher for gaming, as the difference is only 2-3 fps from 5.7ghz or not at all.
      Overall, the 4k gaming hype is just a marketing ploy, and there's no reason or benefit to spend money on a 13900k for 4k and such. Plus, someone would have to put their PC in the fridge to play.
      That's all for now.

    Ability to change the processor clock settings to achieve higher operating frequency (overclocking).
    Thermal Design Power (TDP)
    125 W

    Thermal Design Power (TDP)

    The TDP shows how much heat the processor generates during typical use.

    The cooler used should be capable of handling this amount of heat.

    Features & Functions

    Includes Heatsink
    No

    Includes Heatsink


    The processor requires cooling in order to operate. If the processor does not come with a heatsink, you will need to purchase a suitable CPU heatsink or a separate water cooling system.

      This review is about the packaging: Box

      There is no need for many words about this processor. In every comparison, it is significantly above any other in the category at the same price. It comfortably overclocks to 5.5-5.6GHz with patience and proper settings. It easily handles up to 4070ti/4080 without causing any delays.

      This review is about the packaging: Box

      Coming from an i5 8600K (at 4.7GHz oc) which would reach temperatures of around 90 degrees in heavy games, I expected similar temperatures from the i5 13600KF. On the contrary, during a stress test (for 15 minutes), it did not exceed 75 degrees. In games, I see even lower temperatures since it is a beast and doesn't struggle at all. Was the upgrade worth it? The difference is chaotic! It is cooled by a Dark Rock 4 and I am completely satisfied. It was combined with an ASUS Prime A Z690 and Corsair Vengeance 32GB 5600mhz RAM. Overall, it requires good cooling, otherwise you will experience throttling, and a good power supply. The max TDP under full load was 181 watts.

      Very powerful CPU,
      The only negative is the temperatures it reaches.
      With Pure Loop 2 FX 280mm, it experienced Thermal Throttling during Production (rendering).
      In Gaming, it performs at decent levels, with a maximum temperature of 82 degrees in CyberPunk 2077.
      It is paired with the RTX 4070ti Tuf gaming from Asus and installed on the B760 motherboard (Asus' premium model).

      The reason for the -1 star is that you need to spend at least 100-150€ on cooling to unleash its full potential, and in this case, there are better options in the price range of 450-500€ that come with cooling

      I combined it with 6000mhz c30 RAM and Asus' 280mm liquid cooling. Temperatures are fine with liquid cooling, up to 65°C while gaming, up to 85°C during stress tests at 1.4v... I will try to lower the vcore because it is simply too high.

      edit: After half a year, at 1.24v undervolt which I unlocked thanks to the motherboard that supports having older microcode, it doesn't exceed 50°C while gaming and 70°C at max load.

      The processor is a beast. It was set up for a new PC for Diablo IV.

      This review is about the packaging: Box

      I am very satisfied coming from a 9700k and finally stepping up to the 6900xt.
      Now to the basics:
      4k gaming up to 6-7 hours did not exceed 47-48 degrees, except in some games that use the CPU.
      I would recommend UV or manual voltage, as the default 1.35 is too high. With 1.20mv, it reached 5.5ghz, but I left it at 5.1 with the default max turbo at 1.163mv. There's no logical reason to go higher for gaming, as the difference is only 2-3 fps from 5.7ghz or not at all.
      Overall, the 4k gaming hype is just a marketing ploy, and there's no reason or benefit to spend money on a 13900k for 4k and such. Plus, someone would have to put their PC in the fridge to play.
      That's all for now.

      For editing video and images and livestreaming in 2k resolution, all of this is a beast, it doesn't flinch at anything
