high performance processor especially when coupled with a good video card
I admit I have a need for speed when it comes to computer processors. Probably because I started out with an Intel Celeron processor. It did not take me long to realize that I needed something with a little more processing power without a huge price tag, and a large demand for power. Hence I did some research and found that the Intel Core i5-6600 Skylake Quad-Core 3.3 GHz Desktop Processor was a very affordable, low wattage, stable, high performance processor especially when coupled with a good video card. My wife has loved the way the computer moves from screen to screen, and the way it moves from application to application. Really happy with the i5, the video card, and the computer in general. All of the parts were purchased from Amazon and assembled by a top notch technician.

The CPU for every PC build
Let’s face it; this CPU in almost every PC build you see. More or less because its great, it produces great numbers, and it gets the job done.If you plan on overclocking the CPU to get even more performance, I recommend getting a better CPU cooler than the stock one because of how much heat the CPU will cause. Other than that, I can recommend this to anyone, even non gamers that just want better multi-tasking power in their computer, I suggest switching your old CPU for this one.– CPU temperature while idle: 54 – 61 °F (12 – 16 °C)– CPU temperature under load: 110 – 118 °F (43 – 47 °C)Parts I used in this review:- GPU: ‘EVGA GeForce GTX 950 2GB FTW GAMING, Silent Cooling Graphics Card 02G-P4-2958-KR’- Motherboard: ‘ASUS LGA1151 DDR3 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 B150 MicroATX Motherboards B150M-A D3’- RAM: ‘Kingston HyperX FURY 8GB Kit (2x4GB) 1866MHz DDR3 CL10 DIMM – Black (HX318C10FBK2/8)’Things to know:- The box includes the CPU, stock CPU cooler and a manual.- The CPU was not overclocked during this review.

Extra savings over k edition
Has been rock solid for me, fast tooReported to have a bug though: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/01/intel-skylake-bug-causes-pcs-to-freeze-during-complex-workloads/

Graet Chip, but cheap CPU Cooler fan may be a weak link.
Great Chip, runs super cool, and provides all the power needed for most home systems.Yet part of the value of the non k chip is getting a free CPU cooler. Of course, if the cheap fan included turns out to be noisy, and, in my experience, all too often does, then itâs not quite such a good deal. After only a few days, the fan in my system started to make noise, and no amount of playing with fan speed setting made any difference. I was about to replace the cooler with my favorite Noctua, but happened to have a Low-Noise Adaptor that comes free with the Noctua NF-F12 PWM Cooling Fan I bought for a different system, and decided to try that first. It worked, and itâs now dead silent again, and otherwise working perfectly.

) It was crazy easy to install the CPU and the fan
I will never, ever go back to AMD again. Intel has definitely sold me with this processor. It’s a high end i5, and it does come with a stock fan. I’ve seen multiple reviewers recommending to upgrade the fan and personally, I don’t think it’s necessary. The fan works perfectly for me, keeping the temperature around 34C when “working” it. And by “working” it, I had about 65 google chrome tabs open, 30 firefox tabs, 8 apps, 3 movies streaming, a skype call running. It was a slight experiment :,)It was crazy easy to install the CPU and the fan. Intel nailed it with the “easy” factor.

Bad luck out of the box.
After months of back and forth with the motherboard manufacturer and repeatedly send it in for verification, ruling out all other possible issues, and finally retreating the system as basic as possible with a new operating system and new hard drive. It leaves only the processor to be bad straight out of the box, sending an unstable voltage and causing window to go into a whea_uncorrectable error.Of course it has taken too long to come to this conclusion for me to be able to return the defective product.

Purchased used and product arrived faulty.
This was my first time building a PC and I had a budget of around $500.Parts list:CPU: Intel i5 6600Motherboard: MSI B250 PC MateRAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8gb 1x8gbHDD: WD Blue 1tb 7200rpmGPU: Nvidia GTX 770 (Reused from old PC)PSU: Corsair CX750m 80+ (Reused from old PC)I decided to purchase the CPU used from Amazon Warehouse Deals because I didn’t have enough for a new one. The CPU arrived and i installed it in my PC and the PC booted but it would freeze when I tried to install an operating system. I did a lot of troubleshooting and got a replacement for the RAM. That didn’t work so I got a replacement motherboard. That didn’t work. I tested the hard drive in another computer to make sure it was working. The only thing left to cause the problem was the CPU.Do NOT buy used CPUs!I am returning the used CPU for a full refund and I am going to purchase another NEW CPU.

Is the high cpu usage normal?
i got high cpu usage (around 80-100%) while i watching 1080p video or watching youtube while i gaming. This is even horrible than my old one i7 950. At least, it wont lagging when i try to play game and watch video at the same time.

L’acquisto di questa CPU è stato dettato dall’esigenza di costruire un PC da gaming per un mio parente senza sforare cifre esagerate. Sebbene esistessero i5 dalle frequenze anche più basse la scelta è stata orientata su questo perché aveva prestazioni non troppo dissimili dagli i7 base della stessa famiglia.PRO:- Elevate prestazioni e frequenze adeguate a sessioni di gioco intense- Framerate elevati con CPU affiancata da scheda grafica Geforce 1060 e 8GB DDR4 di ram per il sistema, anche con i giochi di ultima generazione. Nessun calo di framerate e giocabilità al massimo. Quasi inutile spendere di più per schede video più potenti e prestanti. Il guadagno si aggirerebbe intorno ai 20fps quando con questa cpu e scheda video siamo ben oltre la giocabilità e la fluidità – Pochissimo calore nonostante le elevate prestazioni, è difficile sentire la ventola al massimo anche nelle sessioni di gioco più intense.CONTRO:- Non è economico ma di certo il prezzo è allineato alle prestazioni offerte- Non ha il moltiplicatore sbloccato verso l’alto per l’overclock, tuttavia con alcune schede madri è possibile comunque elevarne le frequenze.- La ventola non è grandissima e la pasta termica non era adeguatamente protetta ma anzi esposta alla polvere. Questo mi fa pensare che fra un anno andrà cambiata perché sarà già secca e forse l’uso di un dissipatore più grande consentirebbe di avere maggior margine di temperature andando a evitare qualsiasi danno. Consiglio di cambiarla al momento del montaggio.

Wie in der Ãberschrift geschrieben, ist das mein erster Intel Prozessor. Bis jetzt war ich immer von AMD angetan und hatte keine Probleme mit den Prozessoren aus dessen Haus. Ich fand es auch nicht korrekt mein Geld für Intel Prozessoren auszugeben die meist deutlich über mein Budget lagen.Die alternativen bei AMD sehen aktuell schlecht aus. Die aktuellen Top-Modelle der Konkurrenz FX-85xx sind zwar alle preislich interessant, aber die Leistungsaufnahme ähnelt einen Toaster oder Waffeleisen. Selbst bei meinem FX 4100 musste ich einen Kühler montieren der gerade noch in mein Gehäuse passt. Die Montage hat zwei Stunden gedauert.Ich habe mir diese CPU gekauft aus drei Gründen gekauft : Preis, Leistung und Stromverbrauch.Preis ist hoch, keine Frage, aber dafür ist die Leistung selbst mit 4 Kernen besser als 6-8 Kern Prozessoren von AMD. Der zweite Faktor war der Stromverbrauch 65 Watt laut Hersteller ist nicht ganz korrekt, er liegt unter Volllast eher über 70.Ich verwende den enthaltenen Lüfter und bin selbst damit voll zufrieden.Der Einbau ist unkompliziert, da nicht auf Pins geachtet werden muss.Zusammen habe ich jetzt ein MSI B150 PC Mate & Ballistix Sport 8GB Kit (2x4GB) DDR4 2400 & NVidia GTX 750 Ti.

Amazing processor for its price tag and power consumption (Rated at just 65w TDP). Value for money compare to the 6700. Need separate Graphics card for Gaming but works very fine in Autocad 2D using its integrated graphics. Good for both office & gaming purpose

Ce processeur, en plus d’un excellent rapport puissance/prix, a l’avantage d’avoir un ventirad (ventilateur) petit, facile à monter et silencieux compris. C’est toujours ça de prise de tête en moins pour le montage et de sous économisés.Mon précédent était overclockable, je me suis aperçu que je ne l’avais jamais fait… du coup j’ai mis la diff de prix dans un carte graphique une gamme au dessus de ce que j’avais prévu, c’est pas plus mal !

Que conste que aun no he puesto en marcha mi nuevo PC, por lo que mi opinión se basa en mis preferencias.He escogido este microprocesador, porque no es tan caro como el i7 aparte de que uno tan potente no me hace falta, ya que no soy gamer u overclocker y me estoy montando un PC de capricho. Tampoco he elegido el i5-6600k de 95W, porque busco un micro potente pero que no sea excesivamente gastón en watios y aunque hay uno (6600T) de 35W el 6600 es de 65W. Está claro que a más velocidad, más consumo.Tampoco he podido elegir uno de menor nivel, por ejemplo series 3, 4 o 5 porque las PB LGA-1151/Z170 Skylake, solo admiten las series 6 o 7. Creo que voy sobrado con este micro y cuando funcione trataré de ampliar esta opinión con las sensaciones que me dé.
