Reviews of Intel Core i5-6600K

Evaluation 5
Advantages: fairly cold despite 91w
easily chases up to 4.6 without replacing the thermal interface under the cover on asus z170 pro gaming
cooler CM 412s
Fast and for the game I do not see the point in the i7 6700k, the overpayment is not worth it. The maximum in the games that I saw 55-60%, changed from the Xeon E5450, it's time to update the 775 :)
relative to it, the fps above is not straightforward, but much more stable, if it is 60fps, then it keeps it without drawdowns! Yes, and the whole system works faster and more importantly, more stable, no longer piss off the computer
Disadvantages: maybe the price is now? + 1000r or direct hands for scalping, which in fact is mandatory
Comment: If from 775 or from the first generation i5, then the update is worth it .. and so, 2-4 generations of i5 and higher, it hardly makes sense.

Evaluation 5
Advantages: 1. 14 nm
2. The maximum temperature is 100C, up to this temperature it works without trotting without problems.
3. Good overclocking potential.
4. Durable despite the thinness of the substrate.
5. In stock very good heat dissipation performance.
Disadvantages: 1. Again an incomprehensible substance instead of thermal paste
2. Thin substrate and the crystal itself is very small
3. PRICE !!
Comment: Review about 6600K
Well, I'll be the first, so let's go.
Before him was AMD 740 + M-A85 from GB miniitx. The difference in computing power is HUGE !. In conventional window applications, AMD, subjectively, seemed to be more responsive, microfreezes are smaller, although I5 cannot be called a brake. In games i5 is noticeably better, but 740 bought for 2000r worked out every penny of his.
I will not open America here, this is the same 4690K + 3-6% / cycle due to new instructions and a faster cache of 2.3 levels. A definite plus is DDR4! (I have K Savage memory running at 3000 CL15, 30 * 100 * 1.0) The speed is about 40-45 GB / s with the stock frequencies of the processor + SSD 120GB.
Scalped (which I do not advise myself !!), in a vice with a warming up hair dryer. Replaced the thermal paste on the AC MX-4, the effect is. By skepticism I am skeptical, although many practice. On the MSI Z170 miniitx motherboard and the Scythe Kozuti + Noctua NF-P12 cooler on an open stand, it took 4.5 at 1.32. With direct contact of the crystal without a socket and a heat spreader, it took 4.7 at 1.44 in auto mode, no longer shamanil.
Good cooling him the edge as necessary, no wonder Intel advises min. TDP for 130W cooler.
P.S. What can I say a good pebble for games on a powerful video card, but the price is not good! For window applications today it is redundant, for encodings it’s still better than the i7 on the edge of the AMD FX 83XX (although it’s still old, it still drags).
In general, if you strongly want and have money, take it and do not regret it; there is no money, do not worry, there is a lot more in life that you can spend time and energy on.
Have a good choice and purchase!
