Came out of the box and worked perfectly, as my first i7 this performance is amazing I couldn't have wanted more.

This is a super smart and solid option for gamers because of its high speed (4.2 turbo boosted) and unlocked allows you to squeeze even more free performance out of it

Amazing performance

Great performance

So I got this overclocked to a stable 4.7 GHZ on an Asus Maximus Hero VIII motherboard at a CPU voltage of 1.29 V. Set to 1.30 V Adaptive for a long term overclock just to ensure stability and a month in have had no crashes or other funny business, seems a nice safe voltage to get a significant performance boost over stock

Best price/ performance for everyday tasks and gaming!

I satisfied with the frequency and I haven't tried overclocking yet, but this CPU offers some of the best performance and specs for its price

Not too pricey but delivers excellent performance

the product itself is amazing, performance is great!

Cool chip, fast performance and more potential when I feel like turning it up a bit more

warmer(I suggest CM Hyper 212 EVO Copper CPU Cooler).PROS:- Stable overclock- Greater performance for

Great performance, when coupled with 980ti Classified it never hits above 74% usage on any core while gaming in 4k.

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.

What's even better is the ability to overclock it to 4.6Ghz for unparalleled speed and performance

This is an extremely fast processor and from what I've seen it roughly doubles (or better) pure performance power of the 930, and that's without overclocking.

Finally upgraded from a 2600K and the performance is great

nice price with a nice performance

and I trust their performance

good performance not the best but good

Excellent performance from this product.

Made a quick upgrade from a i5 6400 to the i7 6700k, and i quickly noticed i got a better performance on every game.

I do all sorts of things from gaming, photoshop to adobe premiere editing.(I guess for heavy loads of video editing (with lots of filters and effects), you could go for more higher end / better performance cpus out there.)I think this is a perfect cpu for any pc enthusiasts that game and edit photos, videos.

And, when you start so low...performance only gets worse...not better

I can see significant performance boost with only just the stock setting

Excellent performance and easily overclockable (which the "K" series is) with the right motherboard.

Awesome speed and performance

Incredible performance

Great performance!

I want good gaming performance when I travel up to the summer cottage

good performance but number of

Awesome, amazing cpu, had wonderful performance and it's at a great price!!!

Fast, simple, easy performance boost

Good performance

However, spending so much money on a new Skylake build I expect flawless performance

and its performance is just crazy

Either way, this is an insane performance processor for the price and power consumption, and I highly recommend anyone with an AMD build or Sandy/Ivy Bridge build to consider a Skylake i7 upgrade.

Easy install, solid performance

Great speed and performance, but overclocking to 4.6+ becomes too unstable for the chip I received.

Not power hungry and provides great performance.

Performance is great!

Affordable, easy overclock, great performance.

i've noticed greater performance in gaming and over all streaming/ editing

Fast, simple, easy performance boost

Great performance when compared to my previous CPU (AMD FX-8320), can run most games at Very High / Ultra without issue when paired with the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070.

Unless you are exclusively using software designed to take advantage of multiple processors, this processor will give you the best performance across all of your typical windows applications

I've ran this CPU at both 4.4ghz as well as

Wonderful amazing A+++++!

Good as always is Intel

Buy as good as you can.

Delivered on time and works as it is supposed to.

Works as it should but far too expensive when MicroCenter is selling this item for less than $300

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 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).

WOW...and a stable 34 degrees C, when not being 'pushed' too hard
