6500 & 6600K

[browsetheweb]

What's the difference between the two besides the fact that 6600K can over clock.

[ARikozuM]

Not much. What purpose are we talking about?

[yannick12]

6600 has a higher clockspeed go for the 6600k if you have the money

What if I'm not planning on over clocking my CPU?

[yannick12]

than go for the 6600 and not the 6600k

Gaming like LoL Overwatch H1Z1 Dead by Daylight. All on high settings 60+ fps.

Does the locked 6600 come with a stock cooler? If so is the stock cooler enough for it under load? I'm assuming you got one.

the boxed one does, and the stock cooler is good but not quiet

None at all for now. You'll be safe for about 6 years on the 6500. The 6600K will last you a few more years if you overclock LATER.

I agree, pickup a nice h170 board and a 6500 and if u want aesthetic then buy a 212 evo or similar

For looks I'd reccomend Cryorig H7

 

 

Edit: Or any cheap Cryorig will do it

I'm interested in OCing but I'm not sure how I'll do. Scared of blowing my shit up if I have it use too much volts/watts. Just watched Linuses OC guide where he said something about manually entering how much voltages. And also in his TechQuickie he mentioned unstable PSU. But that shouldn't be a problem if you do it right right?

No. Practice safe overclocking. Don't get too excited and thermal paste things that shouldn't be pasted. Keep the CPU cool under pressure and do stress tests along with games to ensure that the overclock is stable. 

 

Keep in mind that a K-series will require a Z-board for full overclocking which brings up the total a bit. As long as you're looking at the PSU Whitelist and Tier List you should be able to choose a high-quality PSU.

Do note you can still oc locked chips. Just flash the bios with older version though intel might force a win10 microcode update

[Jumper118]

the 6500 can overclock too.

So then would a 6500 bottle neck a 1070 on a 1080p 144-180Hz monitor on LoL and other various FPS like H1Z1 or The Division?

Idk i would go for a 480/1060 for 1080p but i think the 6500 would be ok and shouldnt bottleneck.

If you are after high refresh rates, you should aim for a 6700k, highly overclocked with very fast RAM. AKA expensive AF.

Accually for just gaming, you'll be fine with the 6600k, REMEMBER the only advantage to i7's are the hyperthreading which is only usefull if youre doing hevy encoding and content creation etc.  To simplify

 

I5 = Gaming

I7 = clu hevy worklloads + gaming

60hz? Yeah, sure.

 

144~180 at 1080p, though? Then the i7 helps. A lot. It's time for people to realize that the i5 is NOT enough for high refresh rate gaming on powerful GPUs. It's actually been like that for a while now, this isn't exactly news.

Sry dude ive just been told and also experienced that 4 is enough altough for more cpu hevy games like arma or skylines then yea totally, not to mention ocing

If u want safety. Dont touch volts
