Skylake is a Waste Of Money

[NEMESlS]

OP is just jealous that 6600K>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>4690K

 

 

My build is around 40 more than a Z97 build with an i5... so..

[NEMESlS]

Worth upgrade for AMD users like me. *stare my 5 years old AMD system*

Phenom II x6 with a 7770.. going to 6600k with 980Ti and 1440p... i'm balling in tears right now in joy.

There are a lot of people delidding Skylake due to temps. It's a hot CPU. 5820k isn't as hot in comparison.

Just check http://www.overclock.net/t/1313179/official-delidded-club-guide a crap ton of people are delidding due to bad temps.

well is there a special site i have to read in this 2870 sites long thread? Its already proven in reviews that skylake is the coolest chip since ivybridge. 

Most poeple who previously delided will continue delidding not because of a need, just because its better to have lower temps ofc.

And as long as the TIM is the problem and not the chip, you cant say the chip is HOTTER then a 5820k.

 

the 5820k is ofc the much hotter chip, its no wonder its a 6core CPU with 140w TDP.

gratz on the new build dude.

The internet disagrees with you.

 

I really don't trust anything you say, honestly. Half the crap you're telling me is from arrogance, it seems.

Honestly, do you ever read the stuff YOU LINK?!

"To paraphrase Splave again, he comments that the thermal paste (TIM)on his Skylake is certainly worse than that of Devil's Canyon."

 

You just seem to not get the difference between bad temperatures caused by bad thermal paste to bad temperatures because of the chip >.<

Nothing disagrees with me. You are just not able to read correctly.

Did you actually read the comments? 

Obviously not, so lets move on because this is literally getting absolutely no where.

So lets move the hell on to what I was trying to say, temps play a factor in CPU degradation as well as voltage.

Delid the damn thing if you REALLY want your CPU to last you longer instead of having all that heat building up under the IHS waiting to dissipate.

I just upgraded in October from a sandy bridge I7 2600k to the skylake I7 6700K and I love it totally worth it to me I was due up for a upgrade and this is perfect timing i get into ddr4 and module 2.0.

Well I like AMD products but I would think Skylake is an improvement because of USB3.1 and mostly M.2 x4 vs M.x x 2 on X97 boards. Only reason I went to intel was for the M.2 option. The performance boost from M.2 is more than 3 generations of Intel CPU increment increases in performance. So if you want to go with a M.2 there is a nice performance gain I believe. IF AMD boards where upgraded to support M.2 I would have stayed with my FX AMD Processor it plays every game I own easily.

Well if ZEN is not good Skylake will be my upgrade choice, i see no reason to go Haswell unless on a very narrow budget.

I still don't see a reason to go haswell. You can go skylake, get a 8gb stick of albeit not pretty ddr4 for $40, a entry level h110 motherboard for $55, an i3-6100 for $120, a 750 ti for $100, a wd blue 1tb for $55 and a case+psu for under $60 and it's the same cost, if not cheaper than haswell and you're getting the most current platform.

As someone with an i5-3570k, any point for me to jump to skylake (or that other body of water intel cpu coming out) or hold off until we see what Zen is like. 

[Coaxialgamer]

Skylake does offer performance advantages in gaming over haswell though, and they are actually pretty significant in some cases
