So with BCLK overclock now being confirmed possible on non-k Skylake, should I change my purchase? Should I just buy a i5 6500 + Asus/Asrock z170 mobo?
The i5 6600k is stupidly expensive in my country, so this will save a lot of money in the long run.
Intel will brick your system with microde

Brick inc.

and what exactly are you basing that on?
>>51922299
Bclk OC is finicky
Don't be cheap, Op, just go with K
>>51923845
I'm sorry but the 6600k is not worth $360 CAD.
Get a 6600 non-K for $210-215, check pcp for prices
>>51923845
I dont know about OP's country, but 6600Ks in the states are $300+ while the 6700k is nearing $500, with some reaching as high as $700.
Meanwhile the 6400 and 6500 are $187 and $200 respectively, and can be OCed just as fast as a 6600k now and give the same performance.
Until prices come down, there's no reason to get a 6600k. You can grab a 6400 or 6500 with a Z170 board for cheaper than a 6600k itself now and OC it just the same.
Just gotta make sure to grab one before those prices start skyrocketing too.

You're right. Get a 4790k, it overclocks like a champ with easy 4.7Ghz across all cores at 1.35v.

Microcode? The only way they could stamp this out would be by forcing motherboard manufacturers to disable support for it again.

Any Intel socket is obsolete the day you buy it. There is no worthwhile upgrade path either way.
whats even the difference between 5th generation and 6th???
>>51926296
4790k beats 6700k

Keep only reading the headlines, retards.

this is another reason why intel chips shouldn't sell well...
they fuck their consumers constantly in pretty much every way
>here pay extra if you want to overclock
>here pay 50% more for these motherboards which can only support one generation
meanwhile the competition does none of this faggotry and for cheaper, while still being able to handle heavy workloads (sometimes better even)

AM3+ socket will become obsolete next year with zen cpu's,
by the time you need to upgrade cpu's the socket is always obsolete whether you go intel or amd.
>>51922299
You spoilt children, in the good old days the only way to overclock a CPU was to make a feedback oscillator circuit and connect it to the motherboard and hope it works, not downloading an exe and running it.
Fuck spoiled shits

Tyne 6700k is $420. It's our of stock at bossy retailers which is the reason you see prices that high. The retailers who do have it throw the price up.

I fucking love how normies don't know about the 5820k and the fact that Broadwell E will be out on the X99 platform.
>b-but muh games
>muh skylake
lol

>bought phenom II ages ago
>can still upgrade to fx when i decide on finally upgrading my pc
yeah, you're full of shit. and only intel components force you to buy a new overpriced mobo with each CPU refresh.
Have a 8350 oc'd to 4.7ghz I'm just gonna wait for zen and hope it's worth upgrading otherwise to Intel I go.
>>51922299
Should I go with Skylake and hope I don't destroy it with a cooler or shall I waist for kaby lake seeing as 2016 is right around the corner and hope they're made of thicker material?
>>51928424
>Broadwell E
why invest in a dead platform and socket?
>Cpu (i5-200K) is showing its age
>Can't overclock it very well, core 3 fails if I push the clocks, and turning it into a super-speed tri-core is dumb.
>£200 for an i5-6600K, plus £100 for DDR4, £100 for a motherboard
>I'd like an i7, but they just gouge your eyes out with the prices, just for hyper-threading
With Jews, you loose!

I BCLK overclocked my 2nd generation i5, and everyone claimed you couldn't (the bus can't take it they said).
