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!
