Good product, not disappointed.

Motherboard MSI Z97-G43
I think that the frequency of 4900 MHz is its architectural limit, well, or thereabouts. at such a frequency, it worked stably for me at a voltage of 1.485v, and already at values ​​​​of 1.510v + the system did not start.
I remember choosing between 4790k for 12 thousand and 5820 for 14 thousand, 5820 seemed expensive to me)) I remember these times with a smile) I’m looking at the price tag of 6700k right now and I understand that I will spend more than one year with this process =)

Pros

Productive Enough for a long time Quick Sync allows you to capture the screen and stream without the load on the video card and percent in 1080p60

Cons

HOT as HELL! up to 96 degrees in the installation, managed to overclock it to 4900 only thanks to Thermaltake Water 3.0 Ultimate, and all because of the moronic thermal interface under the lid, which makes cooling extremely inefficient.
