Review on Desktop Processor: Intel Core i5 6500 3.20 GHz Quad Core Skylake, Socket LGA 1151, 6MB Cache by Yusri Ary ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am amazed at how well the product is made, just magically!

Review of 6600K Well, I'll be the first, so let's go. Before him stood AMD 740 + Mother A85 from GB miniitx. The difference in processing power is HUGE! In ordinary window applications, AMD, subjectively, seemed more responsive, there were fewer microfreezes, although the I5 cannot be called a brake. In games, the i5 is noticeably better, but the 740 bought for 2022r worked out every penny. I won't open America here, it's the same 4690K + 3-6% / cycle due to new instructions and a faster cache of 2.3 levels. A definite plus is DDR4! (My K Savage memory runs at a frequency of 3000 CL15, 30*100*1.0) The speed is about 40-45 GB/sec at stock processor frequencies + SSD 120GB. I scalped (which I myself do not advise !), in a vise with heating with a hairdryer. I replaced the thermal paste with AC MX-4, there is an effect. I am skeptical about ZhM, although many practice it. On the MSI Z170 miniitx mother and the Scythe Kozuti + Noctua NF-P12 cooler on an open bench, I took 4.5 at 1.32. With direct contact of the crystal without a socket and a heat spreader, I took 4.7 at 1.44 in auto mode, I didn’t shaman further. Good cooling is as necessary for him, knowingly Intel advises min. TDP for 130W cooler. Well, what can I say, a good pebble for games on a powerful video card, but the price is not good! For windowed applications today it is redundant, for encoding it is still better to use i7 on the edge of AMD FX 83XX (although it is old, it still drags). In general, if you really want and have money, take it and don’t regret it, don’t worry about money, there are many other things in life that you can spend time and energy on. Good luck choosing and shopping!

Pros
  • 1. 14 nm 2. The maximum temperature is 100C, up to this temperature it works without throttling without problems. 3. Good overclocking potential. 4. Durable despite the thinness of the substrate. 5. Very good heat dissipation performance in stock
Cons
  • 1. Again, an incomprehensible substance instead of thermal paste 2. Thin substrate and the crystal itself is very small 3. PRICE!
