Hi, guys, Found a good deal on the i7 5775c, almost same price a 6600k. Would it be better buy than the Skylake? I'm upgrading from an 5 years old SB 2500k. Despite being a good CPU, it's showing its age on CPU bound stuff. Benchmark wise, it seems like the 5775c is on par and better than the 6700k on most games. Can't make up my mind. Any help will be very much appreciated.
i7 6700K would be more "future proof". i7 5775C is ok, but OC's like crap. Best it can do is 4.2 -4.3Ghz at somewhat "reasonable" voltage (up to 1.35v).
Go with Skylake man, Broadwell failed and it should be forgoten. I assume that 2500k is heavily overclocked so jumping to another 4c/4t 6600k isnt a best idea, 6700k sounds better but its still an quad core. What about Haswell-e, X99 and 5820k?
As above guys suggested i7-6700k will be better choice,those i7-5775c doesn't clocks like should and due this I would choose i7-6700k or X99 with i7-5820k/5930k,with both you will need DDR4 RAM and really depends on you which to choose Hope this helps Thanks,Jura
I'm trying to keep the memory kit from the 2500k. Most people say there's no real danger using it with a 6700k. What you guys think about it? Wondering that because officially the Broadwell has the same DDR3L only support.
