Basic Skylake 6700K Overclocking review and performance.

^ that and it has more cores, threads and X99 is a more mature higher featured platform.
 
Right now, you could buy on OCuk...

The Gigabyte X99-SLI and 5820k bundle for ~£394

Or

The cheapest Z170 mobo (currently Asus Z170-P D3) and i7 6700k for ~£403

Tough choice!;)
 
just looking at your x99 mobo cpu bundles and noticed something.

why don't you tag relevant memory for those bundles ?

obviously if people are buying a mobo and cpu they need memory. makes it easier choosing what goes with what.;)


so memory that works in relevant bundles or motherboard only in list.that you have in stock.
 
Probably a silly question given the forum but obviously not everyone will be able to get these clocks, how do the two chips compare at stock?

Not really I would for the The Gigabyte X99-SLI and 5820k bundle for ~£394.
 
Makes me think Intel are struggling to make big improvements, or maybe they are just milking the fact AMD has been behind for so long, they can just launch thrse non-exciting CPU's.

If AMD Zen is as good or better than even Haswell, it woudn't surprise me if Intel miraculously launch a new CPU that is an extra 25%+ better, I think Intel are just holding back, why not they can do it and still make huge profits.

I tried afew chips I think pretty much everyone can get these clocks easy. Give me abit and I will put up stock results I did that testing too.
 
the selling point for me is the mitx boards alreayd available on z170 so i can stick one with a lovely evolv itx case.

im never guna use mroe than 8 threads anyway.

Well, I see 4.5GHz. Is this an "average" oc for these chips or what can we expect?
For example we all know 4790k can do 4.8G on average easy, most of the time.
What can 6700k do?

.....I wonder how it compares to my 5100MHz 4790k...:cool:
 
5820K Stock






6700K stock






A very similar pattern to OC results. Games very close. Physics, multi threaded stuff X99 smashing.

Show us some stability testing on your 5.1 chip. XTU, Prime, Real bench etc... prove it!!!

the 4.5 is a basic no voltage adjustment OC. One that anyone can do easy. 4.7 is average if you use 1.35v or so. This is about the same as 4790K.

5820K can do 4.4 on water no issue good ones even more.

Great article man, and the 5820K is looking really good about now, currently cheaper than this, has 2 extra cores and can also overclock to around the same place.
 
I'm sticking with Z97 for the time being, Honestly can't see the point in switching to either Z170 or X99 from a mainly gaming viewpoint :)
