Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

In terms of its reliability, the CPU is a complete and utter bust, despite the fact that its performance as a processor is satisfactory. Crystal processors would have provided a higher level of dependability. Do not take it under any circumstances if you do not have dropsy, which is something I would have thought about another five times. Please be patient as we wait for the next generation of Intel processors, which will do away with this file. The following are some suggestions (for the Z170 chipset): 1) If 8 threads (HT) are not required, take the cheapest stone and on the old version of the BIOS (in which overclocking is unlocked, which Intel recently sawed again out of greed) to drive up to 4.0-4.4 Hz and get the best price / quality ratio (if you do not require specific applications with AVX instructions or integrated graphics). 2) Start with a 6600K processor and overclock it to reach the same frequencies as a 6700K processor. There is a reduction in cost, and the performance is virtually identical (provided that 8 threads are not essential). 3) Go with a 6700K with an overclocked 4.4-4.6 kernel if you need to use 8 threads and your apps prefer to consume 3lvl cache. For video games, the recommendations that follow are listed from highest to lowest; for software, the order is reversed if financial constraints are not an issue. The stone itself isn't terrible, but it isn't any better, either; in comparison to the previous generation, the rise ranges from 5 to 15%, and the temperature is slightly lower; however, this is of little value when combined with a horrible normal paste. When compared to the price of the previous generation, which was either the same or slightly cheaper, the price of the Skylake line was the highest, which meant that the purchase was not very profitable. It takes between 4.7 and 5.0 for a standard overclocking session beneath the scalp using oil and water. According to the Intel specification, the safe voltage is 1.52, thus basically, you will be limited by the temperature. Although the stock stone generates very little heat and even the least expensive air vent will suffice (temperature throttling begins at 100 degrees), it is best to go with the middle of the road option if you want to do a little bit of overclocking (you didn't spend at least 350 dollars for nothing).

Pros

speed! a long-awaited ate of the system was finally carried out. Prior to that, there was a core 2 quad q9300 that had been overclocked to 3GHz. For example, turning on 4K video on YouTube causes the processor to become fully loaded, which causes the video to specifically slow down. presently, the circumstance can be summed up as follows: a continuous flow and a processor load of between 18 and 20 percent. pulls even four windows, each of which can play a 4K video. In addition, this is being done at the normal frequency of 4 GHz. Rendering in 3ds Max was significantly sped up by around four to five times. There is little to say about games; it pulls everything without putting too much strain on itself. However, if I were purchasing a computer specifically for gaming, I would go with something less expensive, such as a 4460.

Cons

The presence of "snot" in the form of a thermal interface between the lid and the crystal results in an increase of 10 to 20 degrees Celsius in the core temperature when the load is at its greatest level (this results in "scalping," which means cutting off the lid and replacing the TI). Extremely sluggish attempt to overclock. Chips require 4.4-4.6 on average, which equates to 10-15% productivity loss. Textolite that is thin. You can stop the processor from working by moving the case while it has a large cooler installed and moving it around. Vise scalping was another technique that got somewhat more dangerous.
