compatibility and stability The processor works very stably with most motherboards on the Intel 100 series chipset. I had no issues with BIOS settings or drivers. This ensures peace of mind and reliability in long-term operation. High performance for the mid-range class. Low heat emission. Energy efficiency. Compatibility with many motherboards. Works well for office tasks and light gaming. -  Oleg: use Intel i5-6500 BOX more than year |
i5-6600K. Easily overclocked to 4.5 GHz, the hottest core in LinX at that point is 90 degrees. Cooler Noctua NH-D14. Motherboard - Asrock z170 extreme4. Memory - built-in profile 2666 MHz. Paired with gtx980 (also overclocked) excellent performance in games. I'm satisfied, I can put the upgrade topic to rest for 3-4 years. Productive, relatively cool, DDR4 memory. Thermal gum under the lid. If you get bored - I'll scalp you :))) use Intel Core i5 Skylake month or more i recommend it should buy |
Still on sale in 2021! Great per-core performance, runs cool, and it can be overclocked (on my mobo it hit 4.5, but some enthusiasts have pushed it to 4.9!). No streams  Aleksandr: use Intel i5-6600K BOX more than year |
