Advantages: 6 ultra-fast cores for a reasonable price. Fairly cold overall.
Disadvantages: Temperature jumps at the core.
Comment: It's about the I5-8600k. Moved from I5-3450s. I took 1C for development (UT11, BSP, who knows, he knows). He's just gorgeous. Updating the configuration and launching the Enterprise is performed almost instantly, at the I7-7700k level (developed for some clients). The first UV discovery is almost instantaneous. Comparison - unification (not by caches of a related configuration, but by 2 independent UT11s) in a couple of minutes. From the Optimal Power Plan, it picks up frequency almost instantly, and not like Ive Bridge. In general, all 1C developers should definitely take it, our hourly rate is too high to save on hardware. I would also recommend it as an MSSQL + 1C server, since it will be the 2nd most efficient solution at the moment for databases up to 50 users. Better - only i7-8700k. Heating became a fly in the ointment. No, the heat dissipation is within normal limits, but the temperature jumps at the core are strange. But Intel says this is the norm. At the same time, in comparison with the i7-7700k, they are much lower (that stone was hot), but in terms of performance they are the same. But I just got used to the i5-3450s, which was as cold as my ex's heart.

Advantages: performance per core, you can load turbo boost on all cores on boards with B360 6 pure productive cores without dancing with a tambourine - installed once, went into BIOS and it's cold ready
Disadvantages: CPU load in some games reaches 90-99% when vsync is off, the maximum consumption I recorded in the blender is 112W
Comment: after FX 8300 in holy overclocking on a two-section sso, this processor is just a rocket on the motherboard on the B360 chipset, the turbo boost on all 6 cores at 3.9 GHz has been locked, not a single drawdown on the B360 board is lower than the declared frequencies

Advantages: - Price (it cost me 12 tr) - Full 6 cores - Tech process! (Thus, low power consumption and heat release) - Price-to-power ratio - The most affordable 6 core percent in the coffee lake line - Performance at the i7-7700 level - Bypasses AMD Rayzen 5 1600 - You can save on cooling due to low heat generation
Disadvantages: - The cost of motherboards for socket 1151-v2
Comment: Since the old system was completely outdated, it was necessary to build a new computer. Initially, I wanted to take the I7 8700K, but I could not agree with the toad, the price at the time of purchase was 24 thousand, this is cruel. Therefore, the choice fell on the i5-8400. To be honest, I was right. At the moment, it has no equal in its price segment. Enough to play and work.

Advantages: More than a worthy representative of the Intel family. I took for the 13200 box version, which gives a 3-year warranty, if you are not interested then take the OEM version and the savings and hands are free in terms of choosing a cooler, since the boxed cooler is noisy and the stone cools worse than my tower ice hammer 4500+ by 10 °. In AIDA64, test GPU + CPU + Mem, etc. heats up to 61 ° Motherboard: MSI Z370-A PRO CRUCIAL CT8G4DFS824A memory module operates at a frequency of 2933. I recommend buying it especially if you are not interested in overclocking, and the priority is excellent performance, low noise and the lack of desire to warm the apartment at the expense of a PC.
Disadvantages: Box cooler
Comment: I5 8400

Advantages: Performance in games. Overclocking capability.
Disadvantages: Price. But the course is not at all what it was in 2012.
Comment: Review of 8600k. I switched to it from i5 3570k. In the Internet surfing or downloading Windows, I somehow did not notice the difference with the previous stone. But in games, of course, yes. The system is as follows: - i5 8600k (in stock) with Zalman CNPS10X Performa cooler (+) - Kingston 2666MHz RAM - 16GB - Video GTX 1080 8GB - Mother of Gigabyte Z370 - LG FHD monitor - SSD 128GB + HDD 2TB In all games at the moment this bundle is enough to enjoy the gameplay at ultra settings. I don’t see any point in overclocking, for now it’s enough. I think to take a 2k monitor, the computer should pull it.

Advantages: 6 cores Analogue 8600K, but without overclocking Analogue 7700 in performance Low TDP
Disadvantages: Not all programs are optimized for 6 cores
Comment: i5-8600 (without K) The motherboard burned out, so I decided to update the entire platform. I bought this processor as completely similar to the K-version, but without overclocking, since overclocking is no longer of interest to me. I took it at a good price (14000 r), so not 8400.6 cores do their job - according to tests, the processor is just fire. Although in everyday use and in games, the difference with the i5-6600K is not noticeable at all. I got a pretty hot one - in stress tests it sometimes heats up to 65 (cooler be quite! Shadow Rock 2). With a long run, it sometimes resets the boost rate to 3800, but mostly works at 4100. However, I noticed a strange thing - with this process, GTA V started to slow down. If you disable 2 cores through the task manager, the game works very quickly again. I do not know what this may be related to

Advantages: I am writing about 8400. The price at the time of purchase is 12.700 rubles. High-speed performance. The idle temperature is 29 degrees C.
Disadvantages: Expensive motherboards for them.
Comment: At the time of purchase and writing a review, it was cheaper than AMD 1600X. Who wants a good and inexpensive percentage for several years ahead, take it boldly. Who needs to play 1060 for 6 gigs, 1070 (further from the wallet) and quite a decent gaming machine.

Advantages: Auto acceleration to 4.4Hz without dancing with a tambourine, cold at 63c load, but I have dropsy likai 240.
Disadvantages: Unexpected jumps in temperature during idle time are not critical but annoying.
Comment: A good processor took 17k.

Advantages: Performance (excellent), not strong heat dissipation for "K" processor
Disadvantages: Didn't find
Comment: It has been working for 3 weeks already on the mother of Asus Tuf z370 pro gaming in conjunction with gtx 1050ti. For the games I play, this is enough (Csgo, Rainbow Six, Battlefield 1, fallout 4). Not overclocked yet.
