Pros: - support for pcie 4.0 standard that the NVIDIA 30 series video cards use - works with socket 115X series air coolers - windows 11 compatible

Cons: - none at this time

Overall Review: - its a great processor to handle gaming and streaming / gameplay recording.

Pros: - 5.0 GHz all-core OC stable for months - Terrific benchmarks: Rivals my Ryzen 5 5600X - Excellent for gaming: Been using with a RTX 2060 SUPER

Cons: - Power hungry

Overall Review: I would definitely recommend the 11600K. Check out the attached screenshots for details on temperatures, power, clocks and benchmarks. I'm using the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280mm AIO to cool it - works really well. Using average 3,600 XMP DDR4 memory (4x8 GB) and a 650W power supply with the ASRock Z590M Phantom Gaming 4 mobo.

Pros: - Lightning fast power delivery on the fly, out of box. - 5.1GHz 6 core 5.3GHz 2 core stable turbo boost with Intel ABT - Integrated GPU allows for temporary use without a dGPU, the iGPU is fairly capable for moderate gaming and media.

Cons: - Get a BIG cooler. You will need it for this puppy. She cranks out some thermals!

Overall Review: - I absolutely recommend this as a CPU upgrade for anyone running an older 10th gen CPU and is looking to peak out their performance.

Pros: - great for the money

Cons: - runs hot - higher power consumption

Overall Review: Great cpu for the money! Overclocks easily, though heat is a major issue. My Antec Kühler H2O 920 was great on previous cpu, though on XMP overclocks can't keep up with this one. Have to run stock until I can upgrade the cooler and/or thermal paste (using arctic silver 5).

Pros: Decent price point, especially when compared to the i9. I've had it for a month now and it's been performing wonderfully.

Overall Review: I'd recommend this product and would purchase again. It does everything I need and has room for more!

Pros: Perfect CPU for upgrading to 11th Gen

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Great performance w.r.t price

Pros: I didn't have any issues installing it or booting it up for its first time. Seems decent for mid tier/level gaming. Can be overclocked which is good for those who wish to do it and its ok-ish pricewise.

Cons: Like most CPU's it is already almost outdated with the new 12 gen CPU's that are out but with the prices of the 12th gen CPU's this will work just fine till they come down.

Overall Review: I used this in my new gaming rig because the 12th gen CPU's were just to over priced compared to performance. Unless the 12th gen prices come down to a reasonable price I will be using this same CPU when I build my wifes gaming rig here around summer time.
