Well stock turbo is 4ghz. And it couldn't maintain 4.2ghz regardless of the voltage. It beats the purpose of a K series processor if I can't overclock it since I would keep it stock then. I decided to send it back and that was my decision. You're entitled to your opinion though. It was either...
My 2nd cpu couldn't even reach 4.2 ghz stable. I wasn't trying to settle on a "sub-par" chip. I bought the platform to overclock and make use of my watercooling loop lol.
I got my i7-6850k for only 400$ cad from a dude who was an intel retail edge member a year ago. I rather not swap my chip for a previous gen and the 6850k already exceeds my needs for productivity and gaming. The chip I got is part of the top 10% in terms of overclocking performance. When...
Well 90 degrees is during intel burn test at maximum stress levels for that one odd core. During gaming it stays below 50 degrees in comparison. I'm still tweaking the voltages lower and I might need to reapply thermal paste for a more even application. My cpu doesn't throttle and it passed IBT...
I would go with the used market until gpu prices come down. Unless she's playing in 1440p or above. Any last gen flagship will do her fine and still have ample warranty left.
I run an x99 asus strix board, 32 gb of kingston hyper X ram.
My i7-6850k suffered heavy degradation over a week somehow at 1.3 volts at 4.2 ghz. I found out it was going bad because chrome and any application would not work without crashing.
I was wondering if anyone else had issues with the...
