Intel Boxed Core i7-6800K Processor (15M Cache, up to 3.60 GHz) FC-LGA14A 3.4 6 BX80671I76800K

It does as it should. Let me go over a couple things with someone looking to buy this. IF you are purely getting this for a gaming core, don't waste the extra money. While this core will game and game amazingly. Over clock potential is very low, I had trouble getting it to 4.3Ghz stable feeding it a lot of vcore and it putting out a ton of heat. You can easily do a 4.0 clock on it with minimal vcore and heat. It seems to hit a wall at about 4.1Ghz. But I found that overclocking gave almost no difference in performance and just wasted electric/heat. So at stock frequency this thing under a hyper evo 212 idles at 20c and max load is around 40c. That's really low for a processor with 12 threads. Electricity draw for the core itself is around 60 watts at load. Great work horse, it can easily transcode plex and encode in handbrake at the same time. A great purchase.

Overclocks like a champ... to a certain point. Compared to the 4790K this replaced, it wasn't able to overclock as high, but is far more efficient with each core. I found it was extremely stable at 4.4 GHz on 5 cores and 4.3 on the worst of six cores all while pushing just 1.385V. More on the favorite cores below. At stock frequency, this isn't the most impressive CPU. However, with the help of a motherboard with an overclocking socket and extra pins making contact with the CPU, I found that I could push this processor to 4.5Ghz on the favorite core and 4.4Ghz on the rest. However, I had to give the CPU 1.522V. Well above a 24/7 overclock should be. You may get lucky in the silicon lottery and get a CPU that can overclock higher, but at least 70% will be able to reach 4.3 Ghz on all six cores. New to Broadwell-E is the addition of the favorite core feature to new motherboards (or a Bios update to older 2011-V3 mobos). The favorite core is marked with an asterisk on my Asus sabertooth X99, but on my previous MSI motherboard, I found which core was favored over the others. In my case, core 0 was the favorite followed by 5, 2, 3, 1 and 4. This is extremely helpful when overclocking as each core requires a different voltage to achieve the same clock. The amount of voltage to get to 4.0 Ghz was just above the base clock voltage. As each core was pushed higher and higher, the voltage needed to be bumped up at an exponential rate. 4.2GHz at 1.2V, 4.3 at 1.385, and a stable 4.4GHz needed 1.5V. The safe voltage according to my motherboard is less than 1.4V, but with a good AIO or custom loop, the CPU can be pushed past 1.45V with no worry of thermal throttling. Even with a master cooler hyper D92, this was able to get up to 4.2GHz at 70 C at 100% load.

Coming from an i5 3570K, this CPU definitely blows it out of the water from sheer performance to streaming. Multitasking with this is a breeze and I have not encountered a moment it has bogged down when doing anything I have thrown at it. Streaming was the primary reason I went with it and it has not let me down. With stream running @ 720P downscale / Lanczos / 60FPS / 3K Bitrate / Veryfast + Firefox / Discord / IRC / Uplay - Origin - Steam - GOG - Battle.Net + BF1 @ Ultra, The Division / Ghost Recon Wildlands @ Ultra / Diablo 3 @ Max / CSGO / Doom / GTAV / Conan Exiles - All at 1080P, the processor at max hit 80%. For the most part it fluctuates between 40 / 65% usage. I do not usually run my games at Ultra at all, but to test this stuff + the stream and see how well the 1080 paired with this, I decided to do so. Coming from barely being able to run the games without major dips, [BF1 Sinai Desert] to being able to do that and more, was well worth it.

Overclocked to 4.5 but needed 1.5 volts. Settled at 4.2 at 1.4 volts. Get water if your going to OC (I used a H115I). Love this chip. IT runs my desktop, a few VPS's full time and a few additional VPS's that are on and off when testing

Building a computer for photo/video editing but trying not to break the bank I waffled back and forth and settled on this processor over the more expensive, more core options. I have no regrets. The 6 cores have consistently plowed through everything I've thrown at it. I'm a hobbyist so i'm not doing this as a 40 hour a week job, this may not hold up for that purpose when shaving 30 seconds off a render time might or might not matter. Pros: 6 cores 28 PCI lanes (M.2 ssd's and anything plugged into your PCI express slots use these) right off the bat you lose 16 to your graphics card, leaving plenty for a second card at 8x and an m.2 ssd. Or go with one GPU and a couple of m.2 etc etc. Cons: none (keep in mind if you NEED more cores, you can get them in other processors Bottom line: if you are building with a budget and need more than 4 cores this is your processor, its fast and fun and gets the job done

I think I have been lucky in the Silicon lottery because I was able to achieve a stable 4.5 GHz OC at 1.385v. Yeah, that is a little bit higher than I would like but I mean, it's stable after running a stability test on OCCT for an hour and a half. I paired it with an Asus Sabertooth X99 TUF and 16 GB of Corsair Dom-Plat's at 2400 MHz. CPU is cooled by a Corsair H100i v2 at 60-65C on load. It runs like an absolute dream. I mainly use it for gaming along with minor video editing. Yes, I know a 6700K or 6600K would be better suited for my needs but when you see a really good deal on this CPU and my motherboard, it's kind of hard to say no. This, paired with a GTX 1070 runs pretty much all my games at close to or max settings on my triple 1080p/60Hz setup (5760x1080).

Brand new as received, no question about that. Overclocking is tricky but I got to 4.00 mhz with 1.27 volts bumped up on the core, liquid cooler, and rock solid with that combination. Passes all torture tests at that speec, prime 95, etc. Handles ddr4 high speed ram no problem. No integrated video, you need to buy a GPU card. 7700K will overclock higher if that is your goal Combine this with a Samsun EVO for your system drive, and you will not be diappointed. Win 10 bootup in < 10 secs. Winmark approx. 4500 with MSI overclocking motherboard.

Dieser Prozessor ist für mich genial: Ich kann schön problemlos mehrere Virtuelle Maschinen laufen lassen oder auch den Linux Kernel mit 12 Threads in recht kurzer Zeit kompilieren. Das macht echt Spaß! Auch in den meisten Spielen ist die Leistung völlig ausreichend, wobei man bedenken muss, dass die meisten Spiele die 6 Kerne überhaupt nicht ausnutzen. Aber das wird sich meiner Meinung nach in nächster Zeit ändern, sobald Intel für den normalen Consumer Markt 6 und 8 Kerner rausbringt (in Konkurrenz zu AMDs Zen CPUs). Zum Übertaktungspotenzial muss man nicht viel sagen, wenn man sich die gängigen Testberichte durchgelesen hat. Viel kann man aus dem Prozessor ohne Wasserkühlung usw. nicht rausholen. Also bis knapp 4 GHz kriegt man das mit sehr guter Luftkühlung noch hin, wobei die Temperaturen dann auch langsam kritisch sind auf Dauer. Aber man muss ja auch nicht unbedingt übertakten. Man sollte bei solch einem Prozessor immer bedenken, ob man die 6 Kerne überhaupt braucht. Für Spiele (zur Zeit) sicher nicht, aber für Virtuelle Maschinen, rendern, kompilieren oder auch emulieren (PS3 Emulator) macht das schon sinn. Ich bin jeden Falls völlig zufrieden. Klar haben die aktuellen Skylake CPUs eine etwas höhere Single Thread Performance, aber das ist für meine Anwendungsfälle völlig egal! Also ich kann den Prozessor guten Gewissens den Leuten erzählen, die wissen wofür sie die vielen Kerne brauchen. Der Durchschnittsgamer oder -nutzer wird mit dem I7 6700K besser fahren.

Works wonderful once the computer runs in full cylinder. This one I bought works even faster than the 6800k I have in the other rig with less power consumed. Nothing to complain about!

Working great so far, no issues. Great for gaming and cpu intensive work. People say 6 cores are not worth it for games, but more and more games (such as battlefield 1) are starting to use more than 4 cores so this is a good buy. The single core perfermance is worse than a 6700k for example but not so much enferior that it will hinder game performance. Managed to overclock it to 4GHz using a bequiet pure rock cooler with a somewhat aggressive fan curve set and it doesn't go above 63C under full load. You can easily achieve a higher overclock with a better cooler. Not all that much to say as it is just a cpu and I don't want to go into great depth. You can find much more info on youtube reviews if needed, but if your buying this cpu, it is quite likely that you know everything you need to know anyway :P

Le processeur est de bonne facture même si cette dernière reste quand même élevée. Pour autant par rapport à d'autres fournisseurs, Amazon reste de loin le moins cher. Une petite centaine d'euros gagné, ce n'est pas rien. Sinon, c'est du INTEL et on est sur de la valeur sûr même si semble t'il il y aurait un bug. A voir. Le processeur est utilisé pour faire tourner un environnement virtualisé sous Linux en prenant en charge une quinzaine de machines virtuelles. Pas de soucis.
