Review: Muy fácil de instalar y muy bien desempeño, traten de poner el modo eco si su tarjeta madre tiene la opción porque va a gastar mucha electricidad, no lleva disipador así que les recomendaría tener uno de stock preparado para que puedan usarlo desde el principio y no tengan que esperar en lo que consiguen un disipador pero el disipador stock de Intel no lo enfría muy bien, en far cry 3 blood dragon llegue a alcanzar temperaturas de 90 o 100. Luego le compre un enfriamiento líquido , el corsair h100i v2 y prove jugar de nuevo y la temperatura no pasaba de 50. Es bastante rápidos estable, y con un pequeño Overclock pueden sobrepasar la velocidad del 7700
Review: Purchased this processor for a gaming pc upgrade and paired it with an Asus Z170M-Plus motherboard, 16GB Ram and an Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB. As this unlocked 'K' version processor does not come with any cooling kit at all I opted for a Noctua NH-U9S heatsink, the case I'm using this in doesn't have a great deal of room and it fitted perfectly. The performance of this processor is quite impressive, even as stock without any overclocking. I don't really intend to overclock as I find it handles everything I can throw at it at present - but if any future game releases need a bit more power I will have the option to do so over the standard 6700 and it was only a few £'s more to buy! Paired with a Z170 chipset this makes for a very powerful and responsive pc, and editing video so much faster than my previous setup. After a 4 hour Fallout 4 gaming session the temperature barely went over 27 degrees celcius so that's also pleasing and I no longer get to hear any cooling fans! With the forthcoming Kaby Lake processors being released, this model may drop in price and make it even more of a bargain for those looking to upgrade to Skylake. I did look at holding off for the Kaby Lake but the improvements over this processor (mainly clock speed) were very small and as I use a graphics card over the iGPU it became less attractive to me. I'm hoping this processor will last me around 5 years of happy gaming until needing an upgrade!
