Kaby Lake quad-core for desktop builds

The Intel Core i5-7600K is a quad-core desktop processor that runs at a base frequency of 3.8 GHz and reaches a maximum turbo frequency of 4.2 GHz. It uses the LGA 1151 socket and is designed for systems built around Intel 200 or 1001 series chipsets. The processor includes Intel HD Graphics 630 with a maximum dynamic frequency of 1.15 GHz and supports display resolutions up to 4096 x 2304. It does not support Hyper-Threading technology.

Unlocked multiplier for manual tuning

An unlocked multiplier allows manual frequency adjustment when paired with a compatible motherboard. The CPU supports DDR4 memory at 2133 or 2400 MT/s and DDR3L at 1333 or 1600 MT/s running at 1.35 V. A thermal design power of 91 W means the cooling solution must handle that heat output. The package contains the processor only, so a separate cooler and motherboard with the correct chipset are required to complete the build.

Windows 10 only software environment

Official operating system support is limited to Windows 10, which affects driver availability and feature enablement for the integrated graphics and platform technologies. Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 operates automatically within the rated turbo frequency. The boxed processor carries the manufacturer part number BX80677I57600K and weighs 3.04 ounces with dimensions of 9.52 x 5 x 4.88 inches.

Questions about this item

Will the 91 W TDP become the first limit during sustained heavy loads?

The processor has a 91 W TDP rating. Under sustained heavy workloads the cooling solution must dissipate that heat continuously or the chip will throttle to stay within its thermal envelope.

How loud and hot does the boxed cooler run during all-day workloads?

The boxed cooler is rated for the 91 W TDP. In a well-ventilated case it typically spins at moderate RPM, keeping the CPU near its 100 °C junction limit without excessive noise.

Which motherboard chipset and socket do I need to have already for this CPU to work?

The processor fits an LGA 1151 socket and requires an Intel 200-series or 100-series chipset motherboard with a BIOS that supports Kaby Lake CPUs.
