The i7 6700K is the flagship processor of the Skylake-S line-up that features exceptional performance that is increased by upto 22% and offers 6x faster storage bandwidth for quicker media access, all this means for an all-round more responsive PC. The 'K' prefix shows that this CPU is Unlocked and has overclocking enabled this is great news for extreme gamers and enthusiasts. he Intel Core i7 6700K boasts a 4.0 GHz base frequency and 4.2 GHz turbo frequency, the processor is also built on a 14 nm process, with a 95 W maximum TDP. The chip is a Quad-Core design with 8 threads. Integrated into the processor is Intel HD Graphics 530 which delivers mainstream-level graphics with discrete-level performance and has full support for DirectX 12 API. Intel's 6700K is fully unlocked allowing you to tune performance and obtain higher frequencies when used with Intel 100 series chipsets. Previous generation Intel processors such as the Intel Core i7-4790K processor used DDR3 memory, typically running at 1600 or 2133MHz. The Core i7 6700K have an enhanced memory controller that supports DDR4 memory, giving you a very healthy performance boost over DDR3. Intel Core i7 is a brand name applies to several families of desktop and laptops, The Core i7 brand targets the business and high-end consumer markets for both desktop and laptop computers, and is distinguished from the enty-level Core i3 and the more mainstream Core i5. Set Contains: BX80662I76700K Processor Review: 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!

The only issue that I found was that the number of PCIe lanes described in the documentation for this CPU was not enough for what I wanted. The specs say it has 16 lanes, but my video card alone needs 16 lanes. Plus I have an M.2 hard drive that needs 4. I almost didn't buy it, and went with a different CPU and motherboard. But, I did some more research and found that these are just the lanes in the CPU, and the bridge chip has its own lanes. These lanes are really intended for the graphics card only. So, if you look how the motherboard is setup, these 16 lanes go to the first x16 slot intended for a video card. That is how mine is. Then the skylake chipset that is paired with this CPU has 20 more lanes. That is enough for another x16 card, and a x4 M.2 hard drive or whatever. So, you actually end up with 36 lanes of PCIe between the two. Once I saw that, there was no question this is for me. It is a 14nm process, which is one of the newer processes, and it runs at 4Ghz, The CPU is unlocked, so you can overclock if you want. I put on a water cooler and just did some brief checks with OC, and I ran at 4.5Ghz without issue. However, I really don't need it and I don't want to risk burning it out fast, so I put it back to 4Ghz for now. But, I know I can run much faster in the future if I want to. As for specs and performance, this is a middle of the road 4 core, 8 thread CPU. It has the memory controller built in, supporting DDR4 memory, which is what I use, and the performance is just staggering. >34GB/s of memory throughput, that's wild. The CPU has 8MB of smartcache that is shared amongst the cores. This is much better than normal cache, it allows a program in cache to be shared with another core, when the thread jumps to a new core, without copying the data to another location in cache. The performance increase of this small feature is quite large. The CPU has a decent video card built in, but I don't use it. I opted for the Nvidia GTX1080. Combining this CPU with that graphics card, M.2 drive, and DDR4 memory makes this a powerhouse that can stand its own against basically anything. However, the built in graphics do support 4K resolutions, so if you are not playing cutting edge games, or VR, the graphics card built in is probably all you would ever need. Without going into the technical specifics of this CPU, it basically has all the features that you would expect from any i7 CPU. The price, for what you get, is really unbeatable. You can get an i7 with more cores, or cache, but you will pay a large amount more. For 99.99% of people out there this is more than you will need. There is nothing you will get from the CPUs that are 2X+ the price that you will even notice. Just make sure you pair this with a good chipset, like the Z170, and never look back, you will run so fast you won't believe it. My PC runs windows 10. From the time the BIOS screen disappears to when it needs my password is about 3.5 seconds. From hitting enter after my password until the machine is fully booted, and I have full control, no hourglass, etc, is about 2-2.5 seconds. So, I boot in under 6 seconds, basically. That is a full cold boot, not a resume from sleep. Pros: 4Ghz, unlocked and ready for overclocking (use a water cooler if you overclock this bad-boy). 4K graphics built in. 16 lanes of PCIe on board for fast access to the video card. 20 more lanes of PCIe on the chipset, so you can have another 16x video card, and a M.2 x4 drive, or whatever else you might want. New generation cache speeds up thread jumping from core to core. DDR4 memory controller with >34GB/s throughput. The biggest PRO is the price, for what you get. Cons: Would have been nice to have 12MB or more of cache, but the cost would have been significantly more. For the price, there is really no downside to this CPU. ## Frequently Bought Together - Intel BX80662I76700K 4512 Core i7 6700K 4.00 GHz Unlocked Quad Core Sky Lake Desktop Processor, Socket LGA 1151 - ARCTIC MX-4 (incl.
