Intel Core i5-11600K Review - Impressive Value
Architecture »Unboxing and Photography
Our Core i9-11900K and i5-11600K processors came to us in a special package meant for reviewers only. The retail box, pictured above, is made out of paperboard.
The processor is based on the same Socket LGA1200 package as the 10th Gen Comet Lake and should work on not just Intel 500-series chipset motherboards, but also older 400-series ones, with a BIOS update.
The retail Core i5-11600K does not include a cooler, but you're spoiled for choice as any Socket LGA1200 or LGA115x cooling solution should work. Just be sure it can handle a TDP of at least 125 W.
