Oh my gosh...I can't even imagine what the 6000 series are like because this thing is insane. I have a gigabyte z97x gaming 7 motherboard and the two work together very well. I use the factory heat sink and the processor doesn't get too hot when overclocking. This paired with a powerful graphics card (i have an AMD Raedon 7870) will make any rig limitless.
Very powerful. is running warm but not out of hand, I guess. BOINC; 8 threads of Yoyo@Home under Ubuntu Trusty Tahr: MSI Military Class 4 mATX: 50% Duty:
I wanted a new skylake but they were sold out for Christmas. I was disappointed until I installed this guy and it performed quite well. No problems so far.
Probably one of the best CPUs for gaming. The base clock is the highest available before overclocking. It is also unlocked to allow for easier overclocking. I've had mine for over a year and have had no problems with it at all. It runs cool compared to the AMD chips I've had and roughly the same as other intel chips I've run.
This is my first intel build, and let me tell you that this CPU is by far the best one I've ever owned! This thing eats anything you throw at it without a sweat! Temps stay really low and just performance is out of the water. Love it!
