My used intel i7 6700K came in the mail and I've been waiting for the rest of my parts and build before I wrote a review. I finally have my PC up and running and this CPU is a BEAST. Absolutely love it and perfect for my streaming/gaming rig. Everything I could have asked for and easy to overclock with the right CPU cooler. This came in the mail quickly and there were absolutely no issues with the CPU. It looked like it had only just been removed from the box! Absolutely love the product. The packaging was a little difficult to get through which worried me that i might damage my CPU while opening the packaging but this thing was definitely safe in transit. It's now houses comfortably in my gaming MOBO.

Purchased this processor for only $270! I have this CPU running at stock speeds at the moment, and with the normal boosts to 4.2Ghz I can play games smoothly, record the gameplay and have multiple tabs open in the background. Max temperature is 60° centigrade with a Phanteks PHTC12DX tower cooler with no Overclocking, and with a small overclock to 4.5Ghz using the ROG Maximus VIII Ranger OC presets and some tweaking, I can run this CPU at 1.264v with a max temperature of 65° centigrade by using a custom fan curve. I haven't stress tested this CPU with Prime95, but overall I am happy with the purchase.

If you're on a 2nd or 3rd gen (2600k/3770k) i7 this is a great step up without spending a lot. I was also able to use my existing AIO cooler [Kraken M22] unit from an 1155 to the 1151 6700k socket. You also get to have up to DDR4 this will be an additional cost but you will see a boost here also, the 6700k also has more head room for OC if you go that route but I noticed 6700k runs much hotter OC'ed [to 4.6GHZ] on the same cooler as my old 2600k up to 10 degrees on the same cooler. If you can't make the jump to the 9700k them this if the sweet spot, if you have an old Z170/Z270 mobo laying around and want to build a system this is a economical was to do it.

Very nice processor, easily overclocks to 4.5-4.6 on air and 4.8+ on water, if you want to use windows 7 but with a newer CPU get this, if you like windows 10 and dont care about your privacy buy the 7700k because its basically this same chip with a little bit more speed. Both are great.

The only thing that this doesn't have that the newer Kaby Lake 7700K has is a higher non overclocked frequency and 4K video DRM capability if using on board graphics. If you don't plan to overclock and void warranty, by all means, get the 7700 non K, but if you plan on overclocking and can find a deal on this, get it over the 7700K. It performs stellarly and runs very cool compared to 3rd and 4th generation i7s.
