Intel Core i5-9600K Processor - 3.70GHz Hexa-Core
Silicone lottery type chip with ability clock at 5.3GHz ( Sync all cores in BIOS) - but it was liquid cooled it's entire life.
So we do not suggest doing this unless properly / excessively cooling is done to protect the CPU.
And we make NO GUARANTEE that your PC system will be able to run at the speed we could run it at.
So please just assume that it is a working 6 thread CPU.
The Asus ROG MAXIMUS XI ( Motherboard shown in the photos ) is a separate listing, but if interested in BOTH - Let me know and I can run the items together.
See clocks on benchmarks for more details
Listing for: The Intel 9th Gen 6 thread / 6 core CPU ONLY - Not entire computer !!
Condition: Used
Note: CPU functions normally and passes all benchmarking. Due to the nature of it being used, the CPU MAY HAVE slight cosmetic issues such as: small scuffs, chipped corners or edges along the CPU but does not impact the performance of the CPU.

Additional Information
Note: This is an OPTIMAL CPU for a GAMER ONLY type of PC user who only needs a couple of strings that can run very fast. This will in NO WAY outperform a multi-threaded 2024-2025 CPU in terms of overall capabilities. MADE FOR A GAMER.
This Intel Core i5-9600K processor has been tested and is fully functional. May have small scratches or residual thermal paste along IHS. This CPU was pulled from a well running machine that used it in a water cooled atmosphere in an Asus ROG Maximus HERO XI Motherboard. It HAS been overclocked, but used for light gaming with FPS caps and YouTube video watching.
