Why would you ever get a 6700k. It's literally a meme CPU
>Muh single threaded performance for gaymen
Get a 6600k for 150$ less
>Muh rendering/multithreaded preformance I need an i7.
You don't need an i7 get a 12 core Xeon for the same price on eBay.
>I do both gaymen and rendering/multithreaded application
Get a 5820k for 80$ cheaper than the 6700k at microcenter and over clock it to get the same performance in single threaded applications and get 50% more performance in multithreaded ones

No way in hell will I buy a 200 watt housefire to put in my mitx build. I7 was a much better choice for me. Maybe in another generation when Intel gets the power envelope down within a reasonable tdp. But go ahead and make another shitty thread to massage your fragile ego, op.
>>53359736
5820K is truly the goat CPU
PCIE lanes, huge cache size, soldered IHS, muh cores, no stupid igpu, better socket, don't need to install windows 10 for it to work
Really no reason to get a 6700k for a normal desktop build when the 5820k costs exactly the same

What are you fucking retarded? You always use a water cooler in a mITX form factor.
>>53361449
>Z170 boards are cheaper
Shit ones are. The thing about X99 is that they don't make shitty budget boards for it. The low end boards are comparable to high end Z170, and really not priced much differently in that context.

PCPartsPicker literally has 1 listed X99 mITX board, and it's ASS-Rock

And the same temps because unlike skymeme Haswell-E is soldered.

Bullshit on the same temps. They used solder because Tim can't handle the high heat >>53361500

36 lanes for the skylake
28 lanes for the 5820
Windows 7 works fine on my i7, nigger. Quit spreading lies and misinformation to make yourself feel superior.
>>53362906
>36 lanes for the skylake
What? Skymeme has 20 PCIe lanes. Quit spreading lies and misinformation to make yourself feel superior.
>Get a 6600k for 150$ less
The 6600k doesn't overclock as well as the 6700k ad it's $125 cheaper, not $150. Also, 30% better multithreaded performance is worth $125 in my opinion.
>get a 5820k for 80$ cheaper than the 6700k at microcenter
Not everyone lives near microcenter or in the US. Where I live not only is the 5820k more expensive, the cheapest 2011 motherboard is $300. It also uses double the power.
>>53362943
>Skymeme has 20 PCIe lanes
No, it has 16 from the CPU and 20 from the chipset. Add them and that's 36
>>53363016
Nope. The "20" lanes from the chipset share 4 lanes of bandwidth across the DMI bus. Haswell-E has the exact same thing, except there you get 8 lanes via the DMI, added on to the 28-40 provided by the CPU. The actual total for both is 20 for Skylake and 36-48 for Haswell-E depending on your CPU.
I got it because I want it.
End of the story.

and this is why intel will never stop being jews
>>53363131
The 20 auxiliary lanes from the Z170 chipset are in addition to the 16 primary lanes provided by the CPU. The x16 slots are generally wired to the CPU's primary lanes, which can be configured as x16, x8/x8, or x8/x4/x4.
x1 and x4 slots are typically wired to the motherboard chipset, they use a separate set of lanes from the primary PCIe slots, and do not interfere with the 16 primary lanes used by the x16 slots.
It's up to the motherboard manufacturer to decide how to use the lanes. Many x99 boards only have a few sata ports, that really sealed the deal when I was looking around.
>>53361542
It's 8 bit and fucking useless.
>>53363296
That becomes a much smaller figure when you include the cooler you need to displace damn near 400 Watts of heat
