OVERVIEWThis i5 6600k chip is similar in characteristics to its bigger brother the i7-6700 chip but without the hyper threading and a slower initial out the box speed and a tiny bit smaller cache, 6mb vs 8mb on the 6700k. However when overclocked these chips are almost as fast as their bigger brothers the I7. Please note that the K series processor do not come with any stock CPU cooler so you will ned to purchase this in addition. I recommend going for a Raijintek Aidos which has a 92mm fan and only £15 and spend a few pound on a descent CPU thermal paste such as Arctic Cooling MX-4 or the Arctic Silver 5CONTENTSprocessormanualstickerboxSPECThe motherboard I used with this was an Asrock

Holy smokes! REVIEW AFTER 3 MONTHSA very fast i5 'K' skew processor. I have overclocked this bad boy @4.6ghz.PRO'S1. VERY FAST2. OVERCLOCKING CHAMP3. CAN RUN AAA TITLE GAMES WITH NO STRAIN, BUFFERING OR ANYTHING FOR THAT MATTER.4. THE INTEGRATED INTEL HD 530 GRAPHICS ARE AWESOME BELIEVE IT OR NOT. You can run games in LOW (Star Wars Battlefront 2015, FIFA 17, BATTLEFIELD 3, CALL OF DUTY 4: MODERN WARFARE) TO NAME A FEW..... at around 30fps which is not bad considering you don't need a separate GPU (GRAPHICS CARD).5. CLOSE TO i7 6700K performance.CON'S1. AS I MAKE YOUTUBE VIDEOS EDITING AND PROCESSING CAN TAKE IT'S TOLL. A VIDEO FILE TO MAKE A 1080P 60FPS VIDEO IT CAN TAKE SOME TIME ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE 1 HOUR,

Brilliant processor and very power efficient compared to AMD processors.Everything feels a lot snappier while browsing and gaming. The i5 6600k I received is an excellent overclocker and I have achieved a stable 5ghz using my custom loop water cooling setup.A minor criticism I have is the very bad thermal performance of the CPU when overclocking, unless you have really strong cooling solution, don't expect to overclock much past 4.6-4.7ghz unless you are very lucky.Overall I am very happy with the product, even if the price is a little high compared to the last gen Haswell i5 4690K which is only 5-10% slower but a decent amount cheaper.

Good processor used for gaming. Its the top end i5 processor so perfect for gaming and is also overclockable. Does not come with a cooler. Intel now do this with all there k series CPU as realistically you are going to be over clocking it so need a non stock cooler. Been able to help me run all my games on ultra at 2k with 60+ fps with help from a GTX 1070 graphics card. Would highly recommend for gaming builds you don not really need to go any high than an i5 for a very good gaming build. Good for gaming builds around £1000 - £1200.

Simply great! Top of the line I5-6600K runs really cool in comparison to my Ivy I5 i5-3570K 3.40GHz really very Impressed at idle 20c and 44c under load with Cooler Master Seidon 120V ver.2 Liquid CPU Cooler and I'm sure with such a low starting temp it will overclock when required.

Very good CPU for price/performance, and on the i5 platform. Only getting cheaper, and very good for gaming as well as demanding workloads ect. Linus Sebastian's (of linus tech tips) favourite mid range gaming CPU.

It's not really a gaming CPU but it handles a lot of games quite well. WD2 has some issues with it.I've managed to overclock this beauty to 4.2 ghz using my MOBO's built in OC software and it's quite stable

Amazing processor. Really fast and does the job. Easy to install with clear instructions. For those wondering, it does not come with a stock cooler.
