    What gaming should be like!
    This CPU is phenomenal, my main purchase was because the heat in my room due to the FX-9590(Yes, this processor made a noticeable difference by reducing the heat in my room). I previously had a FX-9590 which I bought in 2014. The FX-9590 treated me well. When I got a 980 TI, I always felt underwhelmed I feel like this GPU could do more but I just dealt with it. Until recently, I purchased this i5-6600k, I haven't overclocked it or anything yet but the performance is just noticeable from the AMD FX-9590. Games like Overwatch, I gained a solid 30FPS from my 9590, WoW gained a whooping 35FPS. The speed at which this CPU delivers is crazy good, and I couldn't be more satisfied with this process. I was between this and the i7 6700, but for gaming orientation the i5-6600k is killer and you need to overclock, but when I'm ready to Overclock I can just see this CPU being a boss. This CPU has no bottleneck for my 980 TI soon my GTX 1080!A word to all AMD CPU users, this processor is amazing and well worth it! Trust me, The Zen may have hope, but if you're upgrading now do it!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A vital part of my daughter's computer systems designed to make her friends jelly.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2016
    Style: Processor OnlyVerified Purchase
    Amazon once again helps us to fulfill all of our shopping needs. This Christmas we are surprising our daughter with all the component that she need to build herself a computer that will definitely make her classmates jelly. Computer assembly isn't difficult for noobs, but to the uninformed saying that your built your own is definitely impressive. With each system you need to make sure that you purchase certain components. This is what we got her:

    1. Case:      Thermaltake Versa N21 Translucent Panel ATX Mid Tower Window Gaming Computer Case Cases CA-1D9-00M1WN-00  - This case is a simple sleek design that will help protect the vital components from her younger sister's tiny fingers.
    2. Power supply:      EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G1, 80+ GOLD 650W, Fully Modular, 10 Year Warranty, Includes FREE Power On Self Tester, Power Supply 120-G1-0650-XR  - This power supply was one of the highest rates, quality built, cost effective supplies available.
    3. Motherboard:      Gigabyte LGA 1151 Z170 2-Way SLI UEFI DualBIOS ATX DDR4 ATX DDR4 NA Motherboards GA-Z170XP-SLI  - We chose this Motherboard because it will allow us to add up to three m.2 SSD hard drives at a later date, perhaps her birthday.
    4. Processor:      Intel Core i5 6600K 3.50 GHz Quad Core Skylake Desktop Processor, Socket LGA 1151, 6MB Cache (BX80662I56600K)  - Every computer needs a good processor. Intel currently leads in performance (Sorry AMD)
    5. Heat Sink:      ARCTIC Freezer Xtreme Rev. 2 CPU Cooler - Intel & AMD, Twin-Tower Heatsink, 120mm PWM Fan  - Heatsinks are important to help transfer heat away from the processor and help to avoid it from overheating. Water cooling is very effective but introduce additional points of failure. We chose this because she isn't heavy into gaming but it will allow her to explore.
    6. Ram:      Corsair memory kit 16.0 DDR4 2400 MT/s (PC4-19200)  (QTY:2) - 32gb of ram is a bit overkill but provides additional room for growth.
    7. Video Card:      EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 SC GAMING ACX 3.0, 8GB GDDR5X, LED, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC) Graphics Card 08G-P4-6183-KR  - This video card it is a bit of overkill for her, a  EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB GAMING, ACX 2.0 (Single Fan), 3GB GDDR5, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC) Graphics Cards 03G-P4-6160-KR  is more affordable and in line with her fascination for World of Warcraft.
    8. Hard Drive:      Seagate 1TB BarraCuda SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive (ST1000DM010)  - Seagate makes a quality product, I have used them for years. I have a network drive with one of their hard drives that has been running since 2009. 1TB is sufficient for her needs.
    9. Optical Drive:      LG Electronics 14x SATA Blu-ray Internal Rewriter without Software, Black (WH14NS40)  - This is only needed if she has a need for playing/recording DVD or Blu-ray discs. To watch Blu-ray movies will require purchasing additional software.
    10. Operating System:      Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit  - I prefer to use to the professional versions of windows as it allows me greater control of the operating system and aides in the monitoring and protection of the system from the youngins'
    11. Antivirus:      Norton Security Premium - 10 Devices [Key Card ] - I use Nortons to help protect all of my computers for one low cost. There is only one computer in our household with a different AV and i've had to clean a couple viruses off of it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic performance with plenty of headroom for overclocking.
    Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2016
    Style: Processor OnlyVerified Purchase
    There's a few hundred reviews on this CPU already so adding my voice to the cacophony is just a drop in the bucket. Having gotten that out of the way, I love this CPU. I'm a heavy gamer and avid "power user" and this CPU fits my needs perfectly. I had always been an AMD guy and got tired of always being behind the curve in performance. I went with an Intel+Nvidia build and couldn't be happier. I have my chip currently clocked at 4.4Ghz on liquid cooling and have yet to see temps go above 45C even at full tilt. I'm confident that I have room to move higher on my clock but there's just no need to; I've got plenty of oomph. The CPU can handle everything I've thrown at it and has yet to cause me any issues. (Well, sorta. See below.)

    For what it's worth my build uses: i5 6600k, EVGA Classified K, 32GB Corsair Vengeance, EVGA GTX 1070FTW, Samsung EVO 850 SSD, Corsair Hydro 100i GTX, Fractal Design Define S.

    Now, the disclaimer: I had to buy two of these because the first one died after 2 days of use. I got a full refund for the defective chip, but the point stands that I got the one-in-a-billion bad CPU. Shortly after my build I was getting strange blue screens, reboot loops, and eventually the computer refused to POST. After a lot of troubleshooting I narrowed it down to the CPU and a new one solved all the issues. It's been working beautifully for more than a month. I'm not holding the bad CPU against my review. I honestly think it was the motherboard I was using that blew the CPU. I found a few reports of other users with the same board saying that the VRMs on that particular board were not reliable/poor quality and overclocking was unstable for that board. That board was replaced with a totally different brand/model while going through my troubleshooting steps.

    Overall, the CPU is fantastic. Paired with all the other parts in my build I've never been happier with a desktop computer. Unless AMD just demolishes the competition when Zen releases I'll likely be sticking with Intel for the foreseeable future.
