What customers say about "Details"
Intel Core i7-5820K Desktop Processor
- If you have the right cooling you can overclock pretty well.
- This is a great all-around CPU and can be the basis of a great machine!
- This thing is a beast. I have been running it @ 4Ghz for the last 3 1/2 years.
- I've been using this processor for about 40 days and it up and died last night.
- The socket for these CPUs is very odd - the pins are angular and face in 4 different directions, requiring an incredibly delicate hand while installing.
Intel Core i7-6800K CPU Processor
- This is the most superior consumer-grade CPU right now.
- Great processor overclocks as well!
- Easily overclocked to 4.2Ghz running a Noctua air cooler with perfect stability.
- Good balance between price, multi-tasking, and single-core speed.
- Hyper-threading allows for 12 logical cores. Very cool!

- So far this CPU is rocking. I have it overclocked to 4 and it runs awesome with my liquid cooling.
- Upgraded from an AMD FX-8350 OC'd as I had bottleneck issues when using HTC Vive VR. This solved that issue and runs great.
- Bought this a year ago and the six cores really helps me a lot for graphic rendering and all the VM I needed.
Intel Core i7-6800K CPU Processor
- Very fast CPU. Handles any job you throw at it.
- This processor is a beast. Amazing performance.

What customers say about "Cache And Memory Specifications"
Intel Core i7-5820K Desktop Processor
- Requires DDR4 memory and a new platform. It's great!
- Combined with better memory bandwidth gives me a 50-60% increase in productivity within After Effects which is a huge improvement.
- I was getting 6 cores/12 threads with 15mb of L3 cache gave me access to not only play games but do video editing and anything i may need that needs a good CPU.
- Adaptive cache memory is amazing!
- Being able to support 64GB of ram gives me hope for a brighter future. I hope I don't have to update the processor in the coming years.
Intel Core i7-6800K CPU Processor
- This CPU runs stable with my 3200mhz CL 14 memory.
- 15MB cache it's great!
- Finally, I can install 128GB. Great CPU.
- I am glad that the CPU supports 4 channels.
- I've stability issues and a memory controller.
