1/5/2024 0 Comments I5 6600k cinebench![]() Last year the Devil’s Canyon Haswell refresh took the place of Broadwell performance SKUs, bringing performance benefits to underserved enthusiasts. It’s been clear for the past year that Broadwell’s release was delayed, perhaps due to problems with 14nm fabrication or some other factor. Furthermore Skylake brings high-bandwidth DDR4 memory to mainstream computing, one year after Haswell-E brought it to the enthusiast and workstation segment. Utilising the same 14nm fabrication process node as Broadwell, in Skylake Intel have taken what they’ve learned from a year of Broadwell and focussed on advancements in architecture to make the CPU both more power-efficient and powerful. Since then Intel followed a ‘tick-tock’ development strategy - alternating smaller fabrication process nodes and large architectural revisions in each new release – which has been hugely successful in keeping them ahead of the game and the competition.Īs the 6th generation Core architecture, Skylake is classed as a ‘tock’. The 6th generation of Intel’s Core architecture, codenamed ‘Skylake’, is the latest in a line of CPUs which began with the Nehalem microarchitecture in 2008. I had to pump a ton a voltage in just to get a 400-500MHz OC that everyone seems to achieve at around stock voltage.Product on Review: Core i5-6600K & Core i7-6700K My G3258 i used to have was absolute garbage at overclocking. So like many other postings, just let this be a reference if you are running a similar setup and keep in mind some Intel chips are trash at OC'ing and some are beast at OC'ing. Performance is still good and I haven't lost any FPS in games and they are no longer crashing. But just know that the usual range i've tested the Hyper 212 at is around 4.5 to 4.7GHz for the i5 6600K. So i am going to upgrade to a water cooling solution and not de-lid (not allowed by intel OC warranty). So i ran it at 4.5 1.3v and no errors reported. I haven't used Prime95 in a while but its latest version does a really good job at detecting hidden faults that would cause a game to crash (like battlefield 1). Back down to below what i was running before (4.7 1.30v) down to 4.5 1.3v. I bought this CPU on sale at microcenter for $145 and it comes near and close to i7 performance. But honestly its not bad for what I paid for. So i'll make the switch to water cooling soon and delid the CPU to see if I can push for the 5GHz goal. I will most likely dial back to 4.8GHz due to what Prime95 believes is excessive heat or running at the bare redline of what the CPU will throttle at, usually creating errors that Prime95 will pick up on, but isn't fatal to system stability. Although i'm reading through the stress.txt and although the errors reported aren't fatal to system stability, applications may be crashed as a result. I haven't seen a processor endure such temps since the Pentium 4HT OC I did a long, long time ago. So this 6600k i'm assuming can take quite a beating, what a great and tough CPU Intel has made. Still within CPU safety threshold for temps, but barely hanging in there 90C i'm surprised did not throttle the CPU. Prime 95 testing w/Maximum heat and CPU Usage. Motherboad: Gigabyte GA-Z170XP-SLI w/ latest BIOSĬase Fans: 2x Corsair White 120mm fans (exhaust) Should make the push to 5GHZ? I'd imagine with the temp's i'm seeing now, i'd probably be in the low to mid 70's C around 1.4+ vCore judging just on how great the CPU is handling the OC thus far.ĬPU: Intel Core i5 6600k Skylake CPU 4.80GHz 1.34 vcore Here is a test of Cinebench at the same freq: I kid you not, here are the results of my temps running CPU-Z at 4.8GHz: I have two 140mm intake fans and two 120mm exhaust fans running at a slightly higher RPM to compensate for the smaller size so i have equal airflow. I'm just running a Cooler Master Evo 212 as shown in the picture below. I've seen the charts regarding i5 6600k OC's and most people to get to 5GHz they have to de-lid and run water cooling. I tried 1.32 and passed every test except Battlefield 1 would crash randomly, bumping to 1.34 has seems to solve the issue. I'm currently at 4.8GHz stable 1.34 volts. Man its been some time since i've posted here but I really, really lucked out and got one of the best Intel CPU's out of the batch.
