Coffee Lake Refresh desktop processor

The Intel Core i5-9600K is a 6-core, 6-thread CPU built on 14 nm 9th-generation Coffee Lake refresh architecture. It runs at a 3.7 GHz base clock and reaches 4.6 GHz turbo frequency with 9 MB Smart Cache. The boxed unit fits LGA 1151 sockets on Intel 300-series motherboards.

Enthusiasts seeking unlocked multiplier overclocking

This processor suits builders who want an unlocked K-series chip for manual frequency tuning on a compatible 300-series board. It is not for users who need integrated graphics output, higher thread counts for heavy multitasking, or a cooler included in the package.

LGA 1151 socket on Intel 300-series chipset

The decisive specification is the LGA 1151 socket keyed for Intel 300-series platform support. Without a motherboard that explicitly lists this socket and chipset combination, the processor will not install or function.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 9600K or a different boxed Intel CPU?

The 9600K is a 6-core, 6-thread processor with a 3.7 GHz base clock and 9 MB Smart Cache, sold in a boxed package with a stock cooler included.

What does the 4.6 GHz turbo speed mean once the CPU is installed?

It is the maximum single-core frequency the processor can reach under load when thermal and power headroom allow; sustained all-core speeds will sit lower.

What does the LGA 1151 socket cap in practice?

The LGA 1151 socket on this 9th-generation Coffee Lake refresh CPU works with Intel 300-series chipset motherboards; a BIOS update may be required on some boards.
