I have it paired with a Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming GT Motherboard, 16GB of DDR4 3200 G Skill RAM and a corsair h100 cpu cooler.
Plus, any mobo you get for this will have an upgrade path available in a few years, as opposed to the LGA1150 motherboards
Works as it should but far too expensive when MicroCenter is selling this item for less than $300
It’s not a huge flashy upgrade, but it brings with it a new socket and a new chipset, Z170 and the next Gen RAM - DDR4".My Specs today, 20 November 2015Z170 ASUS Pro GamingIntel i7-6700 KWindows 7 Pro
Great upgrade, works great for a programming workstation with a heavy load and some gaming on the side.
The shipping was fast and the processor is performing just as expected
super slow shipping but product is great
but it is factory sealed and arrived without prime and with free shipping in 2 days
Be aware about speculators, as when Amazon get their big stock (maybe 5,000, indeed I have not idea), it won't be strange for I if Amazon sells this CPU in sale for $339.99-349.99 and free shipping
Runs a bit hot (I lost in the IHS lottery) but until recently (when Ryzen launched) there wasn't much competition in this space.
Finally upgraded from a 2600K and the performance is great
and I lack A/C) and after 18 months, it ended up Blue-Screening and wouldn't boot my OS anymore (it would still POST and go to BIOS/UEFI, though).
Awesome, amazing cpu, had wonderful performance and it's at a great price!!!
Some room for improvement, but with a premium cooler (I prefer liquid) and a top shelf thermal paste, temps are a chilly 26°C on idle, 45°C on gaming load, and 60°-65°C on stressing levels (4.5Ghz, mind
And, when you start so low...performance only gets worse...not better
This is great product.... perfect in my lancer oz rally 2002
This is a great product, Perfect for streamers or video content creators
Great product, but I wasn't real happy about having to pay a premium.

Amazing product, extremely reliable, and great for gaming and workstation use
He was incredibly happy and his games fly like an eagle now.
The i5 6600K is a great processor, and for even high end gaming, you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between the two as a majority of modern games are mainly GPU intensive
Nice and fast — makes everything run fast and can run my games no problem.
Love it so far; didn't gain much against a 2 year old i5 K series; regarding games performances, but on professional applications, like video editing and 3D, you can tell the difference very easily
works great, however make sure you "unpark" it, many games like metro 2033 has problems working with skylake causing stuttering
Works well, should be the go to cpu for a decent gaming computer

Now, I see 35-50c, and for the first time, my computer doesn't feel like it's suffering
When doing idling, it dips down to 800 MHz to save on power, which allows my computer to be dead silent.
I built my own computer with this CPU almost a year ago, and I love it
It's a good processor, but price to performance is lacking with Intel right now
Awesome, amazing cpu, had wonderful performance and it's at a great price!!!
Fast, easy to install, and does what a CPU does for a good price
One of best performing chips on market at a reasonable price
People seem a little butthurt that someone is telling the truth and warning other people from getting desperate and buying this CPU at ridiculous prices

Works as it should but far too expensive when MicroCenter is selling this item for less than $300
WOW...and a stable 34 degrees C, when not being 'pushed' too hard
I bled AMD for so long, but their performance is just garbage, and considering if I had upgraded to a new AMD chip, I would have had to build a whole new system from the start.
Now I still like AMD but maybe for computers without gaming

Motherboards that needed bios upgrades to be able to work with octacore amd processors, purchasing cheaper amd processors just to boot up and upgrade bios..
Dont get me wrong AMD makes great processor and the one i had AMD 8350 great processor
