cpu upgrade

[SHADY16]

so ive been very tempted to upgrade to the 8086k due to it being a limited anniversary cpu from my i7 6700k. i mainly do gaming etc so quite unsure if it would actually be worth the cost beyond the limited edition factor.

It’s not really worth it. If you have the money for a good cooler and a decent mobo then get the 8700k instead.

i already have the corsair h115i but why the 8700k instead?

if budget is no issue and you really want that ''limited edition'' on the box sure..

i mean some people i know get higher clocks on 8700k's than the 8086k so it's still luck of the draw.

 

imo intel did a poor job on this limited edition 8086k for not having all cores at 5GHz.

you're buying a 8700k that has one core that boosts up to 5ghz. for a what? 80$+ price

you're paying for the name

 

yes you can sync up all core to 5GHz like on the 8700k. it's the same thing
