    5 Stars
    It's cool. Literally.
    This is an amazing CPU,Upgraded from an i7 2600k @4.2ghzEverything I couldn't run smoothly before ran perfectly now, those being:Star Citizen, the unoptimized mess, from 20-30fps to 40-60fps.FFXV, from high settings 40-50fps to max 50-60fps.Everything else either had a small bump in performance or an unnoticeable one (such as League of Legends going from 200-250 to 300-350 fps or CS-GO)Using a 212 evo with Coolermaster thermal paste:Playing FFXV, the utilization was on 100%, after a 2 hour game session, my temps were averaging 58, maxing on 63. This is impressive. It idled on 30-35c. (As reported by HWMonitor)The accompanied ram ran at its advertised speed of 3600mhz, the i5 supported it perfectly.I didn't try to overclock it yet, but the turbo was just fine, every time it was under load it ran at 4.2GHz, vcore @ 1.2v.

    ¿Que se puede decir de este producto que no se haya dicho? Excelente por donde se le vea.
    De primera mano he enfrentado a este i5 con su rival directo el i7-7700 y puedo decir sin problemas que gana por bastante consideración. Esto utilizando herramientas para estresar y llevar al máximo su rendimiento.
    Se puede llevar fácilmente a 4.3 Ghz con Overclock.
    Yo lo monté con los siguientes componentes (todos adquiridos en Amazon):

    Motherboard Asus TUF Gaming-Pro Z370 (Por tener el soquet LGA 1151)
    Procesador intel core i5-8600k
    Disipador Coolmaster Hyper 212
    SSD ADATA 480 GB
    16 RAM DDR4 Corsair Vegeance a 2666 Mhz
    Fuente de poder EVGA de 500w
    GPU Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050ti de NVIDIA con 4GB
    Mouse y teclado en kit de Eagle Warrior
    Monitor HP 23"
    Sistema de sonido Cyber Acoustic CA-3602FFP
    Todo perfectamente montado en el gabinete Corsair Carbide Spec-04 Midi-Tower.
