  Great CPU. The price of these guys have been excellent since they came out with the Skylake processors, which is great because I don't feel the need to jump to a Z170 platform just because it's new. The Z87s and Z97s still work excellent for those that are skeptical about buying an old CPU and motherboard.Currently, I sit 34 idle and about 50 while gaming with a H100i GTX.

  Wish I never bought my 5820k. This proc is faster and overclocks better.

  I have had this for almost a year now. It works great and I have it overclocked to 4.7GHz with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus. It could easily hit 5.0GHz with a water cooling system.

  I fought with myself for months over weather I wanted this CPU or the i7-6700k, and I think I made the right choice. That said, there are some drawbacks, and it may not be right for you.I previously had a Core 2 Quad Q6600 on a Gigabyte P43 DDR3 board, with 16GB of DDR3 2133 that I'd recently purchased and a Radeon 7870 GHz Edition. Believe it or not, I was still doing some gaming on that system, but I was having problems with it locking up and crashing (that turned out to be my video card, but I won't go into that). I was also frustrated by the SATA2 ports slowing down my SSD, and the PCIe 1.0 x1 slots slowing down my USB3 card, so I decided it was long past time for an upgrade.I'm fairly thrifty, so I compared reviews, watched for deals, and did a ton of research. If I stuck with Haswell, I could reuse my existing DDR3 no problem, but Skylake DDR3 boards, especially ones that support normal DDR3, not low voltage, are much harder to come by. On the other hand, Skylake and the 100-series chipset have much more available PCIe bandwidth, for things like m.2 SSDs, USB3.1 controllers, and whatever else you want to put in a PCIe slot, aside from the i7-6700k being slightly faster in some situations than this CPU. You will find a lot of Socket 1150 boards that have USB 3.1 and m.2 slots onboard, but they do it by using the same PCIe bandwidth as the PCIe slots, so plugging in a PCIe card into the slot that e.g. the m.2 slot is using will either slow down or completely disable the m.2 slot. If you're seriously looking at an m.2 SSD and a PCIe sound card, wireless card, or TV tuner, than you probably want to go with Skylake.Last November I came across a deal I couldn't pass up, this CPU with an Asus Z97-A/USB3.1, for about $100 less than I could have bought a similar Skylake system, not including the cost of DDR4 memory. I'm no video editor, I use a USB gaming headset, my SATA SSD is fast enough, and I still don't own anything USB 3.1, so I decided that the PCIe issue wasn't worth the extra cost.I won't bother including any benchmarks, there are dozens of sites out there with benchmarks far more detailed than anything I could fit into this review. For my use, which is mostly web browsing with some gaming (Assassin's Creed, Borderlands TPS, Project Cars, and a few others going at the moment), this CPU has been amazing. I'm hoping that even 5 years down the road I'll still be able to play the latest and greatest titles.

  This proccessor has been amazing so far I have had it for around 4-5 months now and have had no problem with overheating or not being able to handle what I do. I play alot of demanding games like Rust but not much video editing to the extreme. This CPU is definitely the best for the buck. I would recommend this to anyone that has a decent budget and or likes to game at an amazing level and likes great perfromance!
