6700K vs 5820K?

[lexidobe]

 Long story short, a maintenance man came into my apartment while no one was home and cut a water hose. No idea why it did not shut off, but my CPU got hot enough to crack the die and melt the plastic in the CPU socket. Overheated GPU still works fine. The bottom line is that I need a new CPU and motherboard. I mainly game and render videos. Do I go with a 5820K or 6700K? I am thinking 5820K because Intel is releasing new CPUs for the X99 platform soon. Any ideas?

Get the 5820k, the extra cores will benefit you incredibly.

[The Official Czex]

5820K unless you're going ITX and you want a black/red MOBO.

[Remmi2002]

5820K

[GodSpoon]

5820k

5820k imo

If you're apartment manager is paying for it, witch they fucking should be, get the 5960X.

So you're saying a maintenance man came into your apartment, opened your computer case, and cut your watercooling? Um... Clarify? Couldn't you just sue the company...

[don_svetlio]

5820K is 40% faster

[CarterDavison]

Something smells fishy about your story..

All of it..

[TheGamingBarrel]

You realise silicon cracks at 500°C Right? And it melts at 1,414 °C And "Disabling" Intel overheat protection merely stops it at around 115C.

[Gofspar]

no way in hell your story is true, silicon breaks down at 500c.

 

I don't think your PC hit 500C.

What was a maintenance man doing poking around in your computer? Also, plastic melts at 170 degrees and Silicon cracks at 500. Pls clarify story or stop lying.

I would have no reason to lie about this. CPUs CAN get this hot. What might have cracked it is me pouring room temp water into it as soon as I fixed the hose about 30 seconds later. The rapid cooling might have cracked it.

LOOOOOL

 

yeah stop lying kid, tjmax is at 100c and will throttle.

Throttling and PC shutting off would happen far before it melts lol

Are you sure? Considering that passive cooling from the IHS Will stop it hitting 500C, I have tested a G3258 At full load With just a fan blowing air onto it, throttled but was still at 100C.

[harrynowl]

to answer the question 5820k... but id sue the company responsible for sending this man to your house first.

Hope this helps:

 

6700k:

- Around 20-40€ cheaper depending on country, Motherboard is a good 100€ cheaper

- less tdp = cooler = easier to cool

- 4 Ghz base clock, thus FASTER for almost all Games, than the 5820k stock. Most Games still profite more from Core Clock, than multiple Threads.

 

5820k:

- 50% more Cores. 6 Cores, 12 Threads, compared to 4 cores, 8 Threads.

- You need to OC it to 4 Ghz, to get to a similar Single Thread

- Can consume over 100w more under Load, when you OC it on 4 ghz, to match skylakes speed

- more difficult to cool, due to higher TDP.

- Quad Channel instead of Dual. Makes absolutely no difference for gaming, but idk what else you do.

- If you have heavy multitasking (see Linus' Video about more cores on streaming etc), the 5820k can catch a higher workload, without stuttering. For example, you play a game, stream while it, and render a big videofile in the background.

 

 

TL;DR: The higher Price of the 5820k Is only Worth, if you CAN utilize the additional Cores in the next 2-3+ Years. if you have NO Use for 6 Cores (instead 4) during the next 5 years or even 6.. You Payed for literaly Nothing.

 

Btw: Broadwell-E is said to have a good bunch higher ipc (performance per Clock on a Core) than Skylake or haswell-E. I would feel bad, to buy a 1,5 year old CPU (even if its still Great) which is supposed to work for the next 5-6 Years, when 3-4 months later theres a noticable upgrade to it.

On skylake you can still say "lower price"

 

 

What i sadly can Not say is: If the 5820k with his 50% more cores  can render a Video faster, than a 4-Core 6700k, who is able to use Intel's Quicksync (which is a BEAST for rendering).

 

But, the less price difference there is, the more you should grab the 5820k.

I cannot believe all the "yeah, 500°C, stop lying kid" replies... Go with 5820k

[Jacktastic-Mofo]

We won't get angry if you accidentally fucked up your water cooling btw.

You underestimate the power of electricity when it experiences a short circuit, go to your car and lay anything metal across the battery terminals.

So true!
