You can use higher memory clocks speeds with an XMP compatibñe motherboard and memory sticks. I"m currently using 4000 mhz with my 12th Gen CPU. **Q: What are the dimensions of the heatsink and fan, if included?** A: Hi, AJ. Thank you for the time you took to write to us. We are more than happy to assist you in making an informed decision. In this case, the Intel® Core™ i5-13600K Processor has a K in the name which means that it has High performance, unlocked. You can find more information here [ https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/processor-numbers.html ] All Intel® Desktop Processors that have the letters K, KF, KS, XE, or X in their number are not shipped with Intel® Thermal Solution (fan heatsink). The information is described on our website here [ https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005940/processors.html ] So this specific processor does not come with an Intel® Thermal Solution (fan heatsink). But you can select either a Liquid Cooling Solution or an Air Cooling Solution and the decision depends on how you use your computer and the performance and workloads you expect to encounter. If you want an almost silent operation, the most efficient cooling, and don’t mind a potentially higher price tag, liquid cooling will fit the bill. If you’re looking for a solution with more entry-level pricing and simple installation at the potential expense of peak performance or acoustics, air cooling is an easy recommendation. Consider how you use your PC, and how you plan to use it in the future when making your choice. Though both are excellent solutions, they are designed for slightly different use cases. It’s up to you to decide which is a better fit for how you use your computer.

Bit upgrade from a 2016 i7 6800k ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good CPU with inbuilt graphics *by M***. on 12 September 2024* I've never been interested in gaming, so no need for a separate graphics card. This cpu includes a built in graphic processor which more than meets my needs. It's half the price of the Core i9 but almost as fast. Strongly recommended. ## Frequently Bought Together - Intel Core i5-13600K Desktop Processor 14 (6 P-cores + 8 E-cores) with Integrated Graphics - Unlocked - ARCTIC MX-4 (4 g) - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for All Processors (CPU, GPU - PC), Very high Thermal Conductivity, Long Durability, Safe Application, Non-Conductive - MSI B760 Gaming Plus WiFi Gaming Motherboard (Supports 12th/13th/14th Gen Intel Processors, LGA 1700, DDR5, PCIe 4.0, M.2, 2.5Gbps LAN, USB 3.2 Gen2, HDMI/DP, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, ATX) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/483717597-intel-core-i5-13600k-desktop-processor-14-cores-6p-8e](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/483717597-intel-core-i5-13600k-desktop-processor-14-cores-6p-8e) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-08-27*
