Intel Core i5-8600 6-Core Desktop Processor 💻 Up to 4.3GHz Turbo Boost LGA1151 300 Series 65W Review

I upgraded from 1st Gen Intel Core i7-920 to 8th Gen Intel Core i5-8600 and the difference is like night and day. I use my computer for software development, not gaming, but I'm very happy with its speed. I used to have constant slowdowns and pauses, although I'm not sure if this was caused by the HDD, the CPU, or a combination of both, but now when using this new CPU along with a 1TB SSD, there is there no stuttering anywhere, on any program.

When gaming, you have to consider the extra heat from the GPU, so the stock cooler can limit you in modern games, which is why I bought this CPU. In terms of…

But the Intel fan is…
