Review: Excellent CPU - impressive performance and easy to cool. - Purchased this processor for a gaming pc upgrade and paired it with an Asus Z170M-Plus motherboard, 16GB Ram and an Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB. As this unlocked 'K' version processor does not come with any cooling kit at all I opted for a Noctua NH-U9S heatsink, the case I'm using this in doesn't have a great deal of room and it fitted perfectly. The performance of this processor is quite impressive, even as stock without any overclocking. I don't really intend to overclock as I find it handles everything I can throw at it at present - but if any future game releases need a bit more power I will have the option to do so over the standard 6700 and it was only a few £'s more to buy! Paired with a Z170 chipset this makes for a very powerful and responsive pc, and editing video so much faster than my previous setup. After a 4 hour Fallout 4 gaming session the temperature barely went over 27 degrees celcius so that's also pleasing and I no longer get to hear any cooling fans! With the forthcoming Kaby Lake processors being released, this model may drop in price and make it even more of a bargain for those looking to upgrade to Skylake. I did look at holding off for the Kaby Lake but the improvements over this processor (mainly clock speed) were very small and as I use a graphics card over the iGPU it became less attractive to me. I'm hoping this processor will last me around 5 years of happy gaming until needing an upgrade!
Review: Inside and out this is a powerhouse your gaming pc needs!! - After building a budget AMD system with what seemed like an acceptably good CPU (x4 880k) for a project that would later be my brothers gaming rig, I found AMD didn't quite cut the mustard and was the biggest bottleneck by far in the whole system and it wasn't exactly packing any amazing hardware (GTX 770, 16gb ddr3 2133mhz). Not that thought it was gonna blow mind or anything, I just didn't expect it to be anywhere near as bad as it was!! Decided to leave the budget tagline behind and make a switch back to intel as I have an i7 5930k in my gaming setup and rave about it's performance in and out of games. This 6th series Skylake chip though... this just plows through everything!! Even had me thinking twice about handing it over my brother when it was finished... haha Pair this with any GPU on the market and it will tear any game a new one! Stands toe to toe with my 5930k, hell it wouldn't surprise me if it beat it in most cases! Performance next to the 880k is lightyears ahead, obviously but AMD can't even touch this with their top tier offerings! Sorry fanboys, I used to be an AMD nut back in the day when they could make stuff to rival Intel but now? INTEL, INTEL, INTEL!! ;) Paired with a basic MSI B150m Mortar mobo as I didn't want or need to OC and 16gb of Vengeance 2133mhz ram I had laying about and it's a killer machine. Sprung new life into my old GTX 770 which as it happens still kills most games at 1080p max settings these days! Anyone who says CPU doesn't make a blindest bit of difference in games needs a reality check. This chip rocks and looks like I may have to pick up another for a second gaming rig of mine!! ;)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: When will this come back into stock?**
A: £399.99 is not the proper price. £255 is the RRP, stop trying to con people.

**Q: Does it work in the asus x99 classified motherboard?**
A: Check the motherboard's socket! If it's 1151 then yes otherwise pick another cpu to match your motherboard's socket!

**Q: What motherboard do I need for this?**
A: Motherboards vary depending on your build... if you’re unsure here’s a good site to help choose and check compatibility https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/

**Q: Will the CPU come with the cpu cooler**
A: As with all high end CPU's it doesn't come with a cooler. Especially as it's the unlocked 'K' variant, getting a high end cooler to go with it (or watercooling) is definitely advised if you're overclocking.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid heavy weight CPU.
*by B***R on 10 July 2016*

I'm seriously delighted with the performance of this processor in my new PC. I've built a fair number of computers over the years, and this has to be my favourite processor yet. There's no CPU cooler included in the box, which for me is fine as I've always used some sort of aftermarket cooler. In the past I used high performance air coolers like the Noctua NH-D14, but this time I settled for an NZXT X61 Kraken AIO water cooler. I have to admit being tempted by the latest Noctua air cooler, mind. Back to the processor, I love that it's unlocked, and that it's very over-clockable. Most people seem to be getting somewhere between 10 and 20% on top. It's a super quick processor, perfect for my gaming system.
