Bought this chip cause I was hungry. Intel knows how to make a tasty. Chip. 10/10 overclocked my stomach.

It may be more expensive, but Intel always provides the best performance.

Excellent CPU that can handle anything gaming can throw at it. Having upgraded from an FX8350 build, GPU bottlenecking is finally an issue of the past.

I upgraded from an old Core i3 530. This absolutely blows it away, as you'd expect.Converting blu-rays to x.265 using Handbrake with RF ~20 using the medium preset I get a little over 12 frames per second on average (no overclock). I tried the slow preset and was getting 5-6 fps, which is too slow to maintain my sanity. I never even bothered trying video conversion on my old i3 so I don't really have anything to compare it with.I'm using a Corsair Hydro H80i GT for cooling and it idles around 84F (~70F ambient). Peak temperature while encoding (CPU between 95 and 99% usage) seems to be 127F. Not using any special thermal grease.I tried the auto-overclock option in my motherboard's bios and that just forced the cores to their turbo-boost speed of 4.4 Ghz. Haven't played with any *real* overclocking yet.Can't wait to get a i7-6950X and see what that can do. :-)

Very, very, very, very fast!!!!!! Did a bench test and it was in top 7, Didn't even overclock, that's my point. Since it comes with the i7 sticker that you put on the desktop, very proud of displaying an i7. Heatsink that it comes with sucks, don't use it unless you will do nothing demaning.

Hyperthreaded madness. This baby is the center of my build and sits quite happily at 4.5GHz (with liquid cooling). It crushes video encoding procedures and makes multitasking a breeze. The onboard graphics are capable enough for me to avoid buying a graphics card, which is a nice bonus.

Great CPU! Now I just need nVidia to release their new video card and my upgrade will be complete.

One of the best i7 CPU ever built. I Overclocked mine to 4.7 with no heat issues

M****.

Other reviewers have posted benchmarks and reviews, and most are aware that it performs close to the newer i7-6700k. Having owned a i7-3770S, i7-5820k, FX-8320E, A10-7850k and many others, I'd have to say the most important part of any CPU is its processing power (most importantly) and features or features of the chipset (ie SATA3 vs. SATA2, PCI 3.0 vs. 2.0, M.2, etc.). Do the i7-6700k's offer enough new features to choose them over the i7-4790k? Maybe if you're starting from scratch. The i7-6700k's do support DDR3 low voltage, and if you find a motherboard your old RAM may work with the chip. But high voltage RAM (assuming you're not using DDR3L) can strain the memory controller, and potentially void the warranty. Anyone with an LGA1150 board or a considerable amount a spare DDR3 memory, looking to build a high end system should give this processor a glance.

If you are even thinking about getting it. Do yourself a favor, and do it.

Work as intended. I have a 4.7ghz over clock with 1.28v and the AIO water cooler.

You honestly cannot beat the price and performance of this CPU. Best for 1150 socket for your build!
