Skylake Compability Checkup

[c0d0ps]

cpu : I5 6600k

Cpu cooler: 212 evo

Mobo: Asus H110I-Plus D3

Case: 200r

Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR4 PC19200/2400MHz CL16 8GB (BLS8G4D240FSA)

psu: 

Seasonic M12-II Evo 520W

 

The rest of my build is in my signature.

This is for upgrade and not a whole new computer.

The motherboard you picked is a DDR3 board

[Ichi]

Don't go for 6600k if you're not planning to pair it with Z170 board...

Why? :c

[Sakkura]

6600K costs more because it can be overclocked, but you need a Z170 board to overclock.

No it is not..?

It is compatible with skylake cpus and therefor compatible with ddr4..?

Coz you need Z170 to OC it and if you're not going to OC the CPU, then buying a K processor is a waste.

 

Stick with i5 6500.

Oh..
 

It seems like z170 costs almost double the price of my mobo.
I guess i'll go i5 6500 then..
I'll try to revoke the order, thanks.

Yes it is.

 

Skylake CPUs can use either DDR4 or DDR3 (or DDR3L) memory, depending on the motherboard. The one you picked is DDR3.

Skylake can take DDR3 and DDR4, just depends on which one the board supports. The one you chose supports ONLY DDR3.

"2 x DIMM, Max. 32GB, DDR3 1600/1333 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory"

Well shieeeet.
I guess I'll have to revoke that too.

Better if you can tell us where you're buying all these parts then we work from there.

[zMeul]

you placed the orders before checking!? wtf

I buy my parts from a Swedish online store.

I was recommended an i5 but then someone said that 6600k is better because the resale value is better.
So I kept the recommended mobo for i5 6500 :c

This is a tranwreck of a build lol, I'm glad you asked us instead of just buying. In my opinion get a cheap Z170 board and fitting RAM. 

I don't think there is a z170 of similar pricing.

I think it is easier if I go i5 6500 instead.

and the recommended mobo for a Skylake was a DDR3 one ....

 

and why did you even chose the Hyper 212 EVO!? an i5 doesn't need it and if planned to OC, it won't be good enogh

I had it for my 6300 and I heard it was good cheap cooler, for its price.
I was thinking going for 4.3 or 4.2 ghz.
It should be enough for that?

if you had it, OK .. but for OC, it's not good enough with Skylake's low max T_case

Would my temps be too high or something else?

If you already have the cooler, you don't need to put it on the 'upgrade list'.

Not all CPU on the intel side is overclockable, if you want to overclock so much, you have to pay premium for K processor and Z170 board.

I just wanted to overclock a (little) bit above default clock (3.9).

 

I own one but I thought about buying a new one since I have had it for 2 to 2.5 years and it is better to sell my old cpu with a cooler.

Just now, Jorgen297 said:

The 212 EVO is good bro, don't listen to them. Buy a CPU cooler once and have cool and silent computers ever since. 

I thought so..
It had pretty good reviews.

Do you think I should keep the one I have had for 2 to 2.5 years or buy a new one?
I don't know if I have the stock cooler for my old cpu.

yes, the temps will be high

 

@Jorgen297 1st document yourself instead of spreading shit

 

just couple of days ago PCPer said their 2011-3 Broadwel-E doesn't OC like it used to, and those CPUs are like few months old .. not even 1/2 y

Oh okay.

I guess i'll settle with 6500 then.
Less of hassle.

 

Should I keep my old ram or get new?
