got a crazy deal 2 years ago: -6700K -Z170 pro gaming -16GB DDR4 3000mhz Corsair -Evga 1070 Hybrid All of that for 350euros. Still rocking it hard, super cheap beast PC.
125$ for a 6700k engineering sample. Last week at microcenter I got my nephew a 2700x for $130 ($160-$30 with mobo bundle). Prices on good CPUs are insane compared to last year at this time.
@@TN-6969 lol. First of all I wasnt being rude I was simply stating prices are amazing right now. I love TJ and this channel. Second, Microcenter is expanding, not closing locations and one of the biggest private companies in the US with profit in the billions.

Its a nice deal.. but you get for the same Price a brand new Ryzen 2600 Boxed and cheaper and compatible Board for next Gen too so.. nope like you said. ^^ but thanks for the sacrifise anyways!
@@aoelp Like @TimmyJoe pointed out, Mobo are cheaper for Ryzen, and you could match performance for less $$$ with the 2600 that comes with an OK cooler, out of the box clocks are better...Ryzen 3rd gen would smoke this CPU so bad (although not at it's price point) I also doubt this CPU could hit 5GHZ, as it is an early engineering sample and unstable at that high of clocks.
I'm just biased against AMD CPUs because since they removed the 3D Now instruction set Mass Effect gets the black pixel glitch. I sidegraded from my FX-6300 to an i5-4460 and the problem went away. I've stayed on Intel CPUs ever since. There is a mod to fix the black pixel glitch on AMD CPUs available now so perhaps things will change when I next want to upgrade my system.
engineering samples can be sold, they are sent to motherboard manufacturers like regular CPU samples that are sent out to be reviewd. if intel wanted them back they would have explicitly stated so in their contract.
www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005719/processors.html "Are not for sale or resale." not technically illegal to buy, but also not legal to sell.... not that it will stop anyone, i mean i had a 4790s ES on a z97, had a pentium g processor and was just biding my time till i could afford a better cpu, ended up with a ES for cheap.....when i sold that system off, i just didnt price in the cpu....
It oveclocked to 5.1 Ghz but no further on the chiller, I almost had it delidded :( I always heard you can't delid skylake with a vice, I wanted to prove that theory wrong but nope, wayyyy to thin a PCB Sorry dude :(
@@TimmyJoePCTech I delidded my 8600k with a vice successfully. I think they might be the same size pcb?

No apology necessary. It would have just gathered dust on a shelf here. Always happy to contribute stuff for cool (pun fully intended 😎) experiments like this. Anytime I get spare hardware I will be sure to let you know and happily send on to you if you want it.
If you really want to cheap out on your CPU then you're probably going to get a very good graphics card and which means you'll probably have a decent power supply
@@alekssbelskis3544 Its wasteful to go cheap on a CPU and splurge on a GPU since the cheap CPU will keep that expensive GPU for performing to its max. You really want to chose a CPU/GPU combo that scales well with each other.
The engineering samples are like skylake i7s they are practically identical in performance if you get a decent ASRock motherboard using skyoc to overclock it, It will not bottleneck an expensive GPU. They can go up to 4.7-4.8ghz with a mobo like the ASRock fatal1ty gaming k6 with a bios version before august 2016. This may sound like I am an intel shill but actually I have a ryzen 7 first gen at 3.7ghz which I got for £80 and paired it with an msi b450 gaming pro carbon ac with 16gb of 3200mhz, so if you are a gamer you would benefit more from the engineering sample as it can do higher frequencies and that's more important if you get an expensive gpu, keeping in mind if you go for the engineering sample your upgrade path is now non-existent.
You could always just use an ASRock board that supports high BCLK (avoid Gigabyte for their stupid 170 MHz limit on (most) Z170) and overclock the sister chip QHQJ to around 4 GHz for
@@alekssbelskis3544 Not even close, if it's on an I3 level it doesnt matter how hard to overclock it. It like saying this I7 920 overclocked to 10GHz is on par with the I9 9900K. Like wtf?
heard these engineering samples have some issues regarding the incomplete instruction sets. tho these smol bois are probably a good upgrade on those old i3-6100 pre-builts, since Skylake CPUs rarely sell close to a 100 usd especially in third world countries from where I am. people still put a heavy price tag because of that i7 name, I even saw one guy on facebook selling an i7-920 with an x58 mobo thinking it's a 9th gen part, man was selling it for $270 lmao
☺️ yes thats very true, People Are Sheep, any legit i7 cpu is going to command more money, even first gen, if ur trying to sell ur i7 its a good thing ✌️😏
@@sersoft_corp wouldn't say it's better but I get your point, most games require a beefy gpu rather than a big cpu with the exception of cpu demanding titles. and the i7 920 was an HEDT part at the time that's why it had triple channel.
Yes they are illegal to sell, but they've been selling the es and qs chips for quite a while, some of the 8 core es e5 2xxx chips were able to be overclocked with the right board
I feel with this cpu being an ES, that this is a cpu labeled as a 6700K but I think if this wasn't am ES Intel would have probably binned it as a i3 or i5 and not as an i7. But it's just hypothetical since I don't know if the binning process would still happen for ES cpus or if they are taken from a batch just for testing purposes with compatibility stuff or whatever. But seeing how bad it over clocks that's what makes me think that if it wasn't an ES and part of an actual skylake product line, it wouldn't have been binned as an i7
Keeks Seven Ryzen 5, 1600 $79.99 + Asrock B450 Pro 4 $89.99 - $30 bundle deal = $139.98 before tax at MicroCenter. Not quite as good as the deal I got for a friend earlier this year with a $65 Asrock AB350 Pro 4 but it's close.
I am still using a z170 pro gaming carbon with i5-6600k. I am in process of putting together a new system for maybe around xmas this year or a little after. I have been super impressed though with the 170 and 6600k. By far the longest lasting setup I've had that has remained relevant all this time. The setup can still rock AAA games today at 4.1ghz, 1050ti, and 32gb of ram. I can't even bring myself to sell this system once I upgrade as I will probably find some diminished role for it in my home network setup. Love the videos man!
The Ryzen 7 2700 is only $150 at the Micro Center. That is a awesome price for 8cores 16threads. 2080's and 2070's are dropping too. $560 for a Aorus Extreme 2080 and $450 for the 2070 Aorus Extreme. These are the best prices i've seen by far. I even spotted an open box Red Devil 5700XT for $350. Zen2 R9 3900X anyone. There available for $550, all at the Micro. I also just picked up some FLARE-X 16GB kits of 3200cl14 B-die for $100 a peice. Let's just say I spent all the extra money i had before I left the store. If anyone ever makes it to the states. I found a Stash of 3900X's for $550. Those seem to getting impossible to find near MSRP.
Live in China, and got one of these for about $40 to put in an old motherboard. Got a bios off some Russian overclockers site and everything has been plain sailing. Probably the best value PC I’ve built.
I'd love to see you do an i7 8700k QN8G ES. I've been considering one but after this video I can see if I want full performance from one i'd be better off not buying an ES.
My Maximus VIII Hero and 6700k has been working great since 2016 recent bios is kinda odd though because it says it was released in april of 2018 but then you load it and it says march...
Well you said it Tim. Doesnt make any sense at all to buy this CPU+Mainboard today. Ryzen 2600+B450 will do the same and much better in some situations for the same $$. Plus you have the option to upgrade to 12/16 cores.
I recently thought about picking one of these up, but decided against it because I was too worried a bios update would brick it. Thanks for taking the risk for me!
I have a z170 motherboard and i was wondering if it's worth to modify the bios for a 9th gen cpu (because 4 cores kind of suck). Please consider checking that out
Nope. Most VRMs will have issue with an 8700k or 9900k even if you somehow get the bios to allow it, leading to serious bottle necking. Even at stock clocks Most z270 would have issues with 9900k. Most z170 is a plain out no too.
@@Trick-Framed well i know that it can be done on a 9900k the guys from techpowerup did it and many others but to be honest i was thinking more like a 9600k😅😅. But i researched a little and i found the process of modding the bios quite hard to understand
@@luigius8590 Some guy named Luumi managed to get one specific board from asrock (the tech spot article you're referring to) and DER8AUER got 2 Asus boards to work. That's it. It's not like every board is built well enough to handle the power needs of 8th or 9th gen. It's that simple.
i scored a silicone lottery 6700k about a year ago from ebay, not sure if it was a good deal , ($250) but it came with papers , and hits 5.1ghz in my rig. slightly higher then advertised , with awesome temps in an open loop.
I think the conclusion is. If you for some strange reason has a z170mobo laying around anyway, but no CPU to put in it - this is a good deal... If not, get a second gen ryzen for the same price and you can have all new parts and dont have to deal with, or worry about strange bugs and tweaks to make it work.
In my home town i picked up a ryzen 2600 for 80 usd ,, and bought a used mis b350m bazooka for 40 usd off of ebay.. and the ram was new off of newegg,, the cheap stuff OLOy 2x8 , 2666 49.99 usd when it was on sale .. and it OCed to 2933.. so more or less 175 usd after tax. the used ryzen market is really good right now.
4.2GHz Skylake 4 core 8 thread CPU. Why is it so amazing this is pretty good CPU? Essentially it is the 6700k as claimed at those clocks, which last time I checked was the fastest consumer level CPU available just 4 years ago. It's not low end garbage when it was new, it was high end. In just 4 years high end doesn't suddenly become poor. In fact most high end CPUs end up being pretty good for well over 5 years. So it's still a good CPU, and especially viable for the majority of games where single threaded performance matters.
Getting a chip like that makes more sense for someone upgrading an existing system with a 6600k. $125 is cheaper than the lump sum of buying a R5 2600, a decent mobo and equivalent ram (8GB to 16GB). For someone looking for a budget system (mobo + cpu + ram), it makes much more sense to pick up a R5 2600 + mobo + ram or to pick up a cheap oem system with a 3rd/4th gen i5 for around $60 to $120, add a SSD if it doesn't have one and a decent gpu (something like a RX 570 or GTX 1060) for sub $120. Maybe upgrade to a decent 500~600w bronze psu (EVGA has some pretty good sales in their B-stock and the Corsair CX550 tends to go on sale somewhat regularly) if the existing one isn't good enough. I know some oems use bare like 240~300w psus in a lot of office oriented systems. Disclaimer: Your results may vary based on your geographical location. I live in the US with relatively easy access to computer recyclers and a ok second hand (craigslist/letgo/offerup) market. What sort of oem systems I can get for sub-$100 may not be realistic in your area.
damn, my X5670 and Asus P6T cost me as much as someone can buy a 2600 and b450 motherboard for now. it was a phenomenal deal at the time (easily a year or 2 before Ryzen was even leaked) and I would do it again, it just boggles my mind you can get that much performance for that amount now. AMD really has changed the gaming market for the better, hopefully they continue to do so.
Buying a Skylake ES CPU is a waste of time and money. You can get a 6 core Ryzen 2600 for cheaper and an entry level 8 core Ryzen 2700 for only a little more.
You should try BCLK overclock instead. That way the resulting RAM freq would be more than 3000 Mhz and although AVX speed would suffer, it's still negligible compairing to the gains of having faster RAM.
You could go with the Ryzen 2600 and a cheap motherboard but, that would take away the cool and unique factor. Everybody and their moms has a Ryzen 2600 but, not many people have an Intel Engineering sample that's actually worth a damn and can push a decent amount of frames. That may not matter to some but, I actually think it's pretty interesting.
I have a ES i5 7460x and a ES i7 7820x surprising cheap from ebay. Don't try resell em though on open market places lol they take them ads down almost immediately. The i5 hits 5ghz and is my htpc CPU.
I sold 6700k 32GB DDR4 fury 2400Mhz cl15 gigabyte z170 gaming k3 , Toshiba q3 pro 120GB SSD and goodram 128 ssd, plus 600W OCZ 80+ power supply for Raijintek Themis Evo cooler about 420 USD $ with case and Separatly sold 1070 gtx ref card for 160 usd $. Buying those es samples doesnt feel like a great deal for me :/.
I was considering upgrading to this from my 6600K but I don't want to give up my 4.7ghz all-core overclock. I'm actually running the same voltage (1.420v) on it at 80C max load with no issues for 3 years so far.
The used market for Ryzen is just too good, even the used market for intel hasn't dropped to compensate. My ITX system has an i5 4570, and I've been wanting to upgrade it to a 4770, but on ebay they're like $100 used for the non-K chip, and I always think "why would I make that upgrade when I can get an r5 1600 for the same amount of money" the extra cost to get into DDR4 and an AM4 board seems to get lower every day, and my board in that system is kinda jank anyway... but then what do I do with the old stuff nobody is gonna want to buy a 4570 with an itx board...
idknw why you say 3200mhz should be possible on enginering sample 0000 while my original i7 6700k cant get past 2666 mhz either, 3200 mhz is more like ryzen. original specs of i7 6700k z170 motherboard says 2666mhz is maximal compatibele.
still a good CPU if you allready own a high end Z170 board, just bought one for $100 from Ali, does 4,4ghz-4,5Ghz stable, set it at 4,3 ghz with a little less Voltage. Nice Gaming CPU ! Don't forget you can buy really nice, high end Z170 boards these days for bargain prices. Cinebench scores are useless if you only game and surf the net.
550cb R15 is in the range of Ryzen 1200 lol, a ~50$ CPU brand new :D I got several Ryzen 1200 systems getting that number. FX8350 goes much faster than that, and FX6100 gets around to same number ....
@@MrDutch1e Yes but its 50$ not 125... Buy a Ryzen 1600 at 120$ and you blow this 6700K out of the water and into the history...!!! Skylake today is irrelevant and dead... RIP
@@Zachard this shitty example of a 6700k would blow the 1600 out of the water in gaming. 1st gen ryzen is still trash in a lot of games. Best case scenario it's close to a quad core i7 but in a lot of games it has ivy like i5 performance with much worse minimums. Fallout 4 and Crysis 3 are prime example. Plus you have to tweak the shit out of the memory just to get half decent performance.
@@MrDutch1e So you will reccomend to buy this dead platform today just for a few FPS more? Skylake has 0 purchase value today unless you already own it (different story). I like a lot those words of Timmy: "...pretty good dang deal... as long as you dont think about Ryzen..." Now that is a way of thinking...
sadly I'm finding myself considering one of those ES cpu's for my X99 SLI motherboard, if for no other reason than because people are still trying to charge $4000 for a *second hand effing XEON* just because it's x99 and not x58 or x79 >:(
V3 Xeons are not bad at all, I run a 2673 v3 12c/24t in my plex box and paid under 130 for it and it is not an ES. Haswell Xeons are cheap, the V4 Broadwell ones are still stupid expensive, though I assume enterprises aren't quite ditching them yet is the main reason.
@@futurenova1917 Looking real quick on my motherboard compatibility list, the 1660 v3 is not listed as compatible (for frame of reference, I have a 5820k right now). But the 1680v3 is confirmed compatible. The 1660 v4 is also listed as compatible, but is stupidly marked up.
@@futurenova1917 Curious, is there a reason to go for the 1000 series xeons specifically as opposed to the 2000 series models? seeing that it looks like the 1000's are capped at 8 cores max, while seems like the 2000's can go up to 22 cores for a broadwell e
@@futurenova1917 Wouldn't do me to sell the board. For one the amount of RAM I have, and secondly, the wife could certainly appreciate the upgrade to this platform, at least, even if I do migrate to a 9900K. So, at present, it doesn't make sense for me to go Ryzen yet, because I'd have to buy another board as well. And I'd definitely try to pull for at least a 3900X if not a 3950X, which are both more expensive, and less total bandwidth than quad channel on x99
Now that the new 10th Gen. Core i3's (10100) will essentially be a 7700K (4cores 8threads). I wouldn't recommend buying one of these. But, if your like me and Timmy Joe-leeroy here, that won't stop you from tinker"N" around with some moddin. I just finished up delidin my Core i7 3770K and got it to 5GHz. On a z77 ASRock Extreme4. It was stuck a 4.6GHz and would throttle at 105°c. Now it does 5GHz at 80°c. Definitely happy with this result. It gets over a 1000cb in Cinebench R15 and runs solid. Though, my z77 Extreme4 is holding up the 1600MHz Crucial Ballistix (Micron) kit. It hits a wall at 2400MHz. But, that's pretty good with a 1600MHz DDR3 kit from 7 years ago. If anyone was to buy a chip like this. A high-end BIOS flashible board is definitely needed.
Thanks for making this vid. I have that exact same mb in my closet and was going to make a second pc for streaming and saw this processor on Ebay. I going to give it a try to
Ehm, maybe a stupid question but eehm. Shouldnt a 6700k outperform a 4790k or is this like the 1080ti from nvidia. Reason is i outperform your oc 6700k and im on par with the 7700k, got a 1067 r15 score out of it lol. OC is 4.7ghz and boost is 5.5ghz on all cores acording taskmanager Ps; Love your content for budget friendly parts, ceep it going 👍
I'm sorry Timmy, but Intel's feeling don't equate law. If they give you the CPU to keep, their NDAs and so on quickly lose meaning. The only people who might care are Intel themselves in the form of not wanting to do business with you - They have ZERO legal footing here.
I don't think 800 points on r15 is good from a 4c8t skylake chip. I have a xeon 1650v2 (=4930k) overclocked to 4.57 GHz and it scores 1400-ish. Mine is a hexa core chip, so with four cores it would get about 900 points.
Nice, couple % ahead of a 2400G (unused: 99€). There is no AM4 CPU I woudn't recommend over this. Ryzen 1000, Ryzen 2000, Ryzen 3000 and soon Ryzen 4000 -> used Zen2 CPUs are coming. Get in on the Plattform and you won't be stuck with an i3... but have the upgradability to everything up to the R9 3950X.
Haven't watched it until the end yet... But the impressions you get from the beginning are like most tech related videos conclusions out now: buy Ryzen. You know you have to when a new 2600 costs as much as an engineering sample chinese thingy from eBay that works on some dated BIOS... By the way, I still think it is cool.
@@MarshallSambell It really was no sensible build, you know. Or do you think Timmy Joe recommends killing a 6600k while trying to delid it? It was only for tinkering and I had my fun. Now I have a paperweight, but oh well some people lose $600 GPUs just after warranty expiration for no reason at all. 3930k actually no. The boards are more expensive for me than the QH8F alone (like twice). Even the crappy Huanan X79's are as expensive usually and a 3930k is not much faster if even (stock it's slower singlethread) than a Skylake-ES apart from multithreaded applications. Guess what, I have multiple systems and X58 is among them. Though that is also flawed as it does not have AVX and sucks up much juice. But I have an X5675 build with 24 GB of RAM featuring a 4.7 GHz overclock multicore @1.44V. But trust me, any >4 GHz desktop Skylake i7 probably beats it in gaming and for AVX even productivity. Really Ryzen or i5 all the way nowadays for most people (apart from those "needing" the 9900k or 10980XE as much as I need my Ryzen 9 3900X 🤣).
I got a r7 1700 from ebay with a couple bent pins for $38 after tax and shipping. Took me about 15 minutes and is 100% functional. It doesn’t get the ram speeds of the current gen but still impressive performance nonetheless.
hey timmy joe, it would be cool to see next time also performance numbers from (in this case) the amd counterpart. if it is cheaper, will it actually match or even beat the perfomance? just some more real data, to help us making an informed buying decision! keep it up!
HWinfo is better for reading cencors and asrock motherboards work the best with engineering samples like the z170 fatali1y gaming K6 you can also buy the BIOS chip for this motherboard that the seller can flash to use to BIOS version before August 2016
i was surprised to see that cpu do so well in apex at 4.2ghz, when i tried that game on my 6700k at 4.6ghz 3200mhz ram and 1080ti i had much worse performance and unplayable drops in fights.
Lol my dad was rocking my old 920 i7 x58 system I built in 2009 until last year, was even gaming on it, I don't see any reason why a 6700k wouldn't be able to run any modern stuff.
Zen and Zen + runs AVX in TWO clock cycles, not one. From Haswell on AVX 2 instructions have been on intel chips at full speed. Granted it brings the chip to its knees however next gen PS and Xbox will have Zen 2 which has actual AVX 2 instructions that complete in one clock cycle and going forward programmers will be utilizing those instructions. Saying a 6700K is comparable to ANY Zen or Zen + is a pickle. Sure, if it has more cores and threads it may be better at content creation or any other field that will utilize the extra cores/threads, however Zen and Zen + are closer to ivy bridge and haswell, respectively, in single core performance. In the end it depends on what you want to do with your processor. Remember, the 6700k, when OCed, beats the r5 3600 in all but multi. Not by alot, mind you, but it does. Your sample may not lol.
I fucking love you fam! My x58 motherboard died recently so i've had to fall back on a Z270 with a Pentium in it that i was using for mining in 2017. Was wondering if it was worth it to spend $99 on a new motherboard or a little bit more on a 6700k.
wow i run this on maximus 4 on 2600k @ 4.2ghz in CB15... My 2600k can actually get stable 5 but i turned it down. after upgrading to 2990wx.. EDIT: i meant 600 on 2600k not 900!

Thanks for reviewing PC parts that most of the community can afford and not boasting on how great a $900 CPU or $1200 GPU is! Love your content!
Thanks man!
engineering samples can be sold, they are sent to motherboard manufacturers like regular CPU samples that are sent out to be reviewd. if intel wanted them back they would have explicitly stated so in their contract.

"Are not for sale or resale."
not technically illegal to buy, but also not legal to sell.... not that it will stop anyone, i mean i had a 4790s ES on a z97, had a pentium g processor and was just biding my time till i could afford a better cpu, ended up with a ES for cheap.....when i sold that system off, i just didnt price in the cpu....
I knew when I dropped that 6600K in to the box for you that it was going to go on an adventure :-).
It oveclocked to 5.1 Ghz but no further on the chiller, I almost had it delidded :( I always heard you can't delid skylake with a vice, I wanted to prove that theory wrong but nope, wayyyy to thin a PCB Sorry dude :(
@@TimmyJoePCTech I delidded my 8600k with a vice successfully. I think they might be the same size pcb? I had to use some cardboard to even out the pressure because it started to crack on the edge if I didn't give it some cushion. If I didn't do that it totally would've broken in some way though.

No apology necessary. It would have just gathered dust on a shelf here. Always happy to contribute stuff for cool (pun fully intended 😎) experiments like this. Anytime I get spare hardware I will be sure to let you know and happily send on to you if you want it.

Hmmmmm, I'd go with something Ryzen for that money.
you do need better psu for amd tho
If you really want to cheap out on your CPU then you're probably going to get a very good graphics card and which means you'll probably have a decent power supply
@@mass1985 No not at all. AMD cpus are actually very power efficient. Especially when compared to older stuff.
@@alekssbelskis3544 Its wasteful to go cheap on a CPU and splurge on a GPU since the cheap CPU will keep that expensive GPU for performing to its max. You really want to chose a CPU/GPU combo that scales well with each other.
The engineering samples are like skylake i7s they are practically identical in performance if you get a decent ASRock motherboard using skyoc to overclock it, It will not bottleneck an expensive GPU. They can go up to 4.7-4.8ghz with a mobo like the ASRock fatal1ty gaming k6 with a bios version before august 2016. This may sound like I am an intel shill but actually I have a ryzen 7 first gen at 3.7ghz which I got for £80 and paired it with an msi b450 gaming pro carbon ac with 16gb of 3200mhz, so if you are a gamer you would benefit more from the engineering sample as it can do higher frequencies and that's more important if you get an expensive gpu, keeping in mind if you go for the engineering sample your upgrade path is now non-existent.
$125 for a 6700K? That's a ripoff alone
You could always just use an ASRock board that supports high BCLK (avoid Gigabyte for their stupid 170 MHz limit on (most) Z170) and overclock the sister chip QHQJ to around 4 GHz for

tho these smol bois are probably a good upgrade on those old i3-6100 pre-builts, since Skylake CPUs rarely sell close to a 100 usd especially in third world countries from where I am. people still put a heavy price tag because of that i7 name, I even saw one guy on facebook selling an i7-920 with an x58 mobo thinking it's a 9th gen part, man was selling it for $270 lmao
OMG!
☺️ yes thats very true, People Are Sheep, any legit i7 cpu is going to command more money, even first gen, if ur trying to sell ur i7 its a good thing ✌️😏
1st gen i7 is still better than 9th gen because it has more memory channels and virtually the same FPS in games after a decent overclock lol
@@sersoft_corp ☺️ jiji yes sometimes it is the same, but most people still dont know that, people like to waste money 🙂
@@sersoft_corp wouldn't say it's better but I get your point, most games require a beefy gpu rather than a big cpu with the exception of cpu demanding titles. and the i7 920 was an HEDT part at the time that's why it had triple channel.
Yes they are illegal to sell, but they've been selling the es and qs chips for quite a while, some of the 8 core es e5 2xxx chips were able to be overclocked with the right board
I almost get that cinebench score with my FX8350... Lol
Bro it would be cool if you can review a $120 ryzen 2600 today it's a better deal so far to pair with used gpu like the Vega 56 or gtx 1070 ti
Shut up
Intel rarely gave a fuck in the past for people who sold ES CPUs.
Doubt that they do now.
I feel with this cpu being an ES, that this is a cpu labeled as a 6700K but I think if this wasn't am ES Intel would have probably binned it as a i3 or i5 and not as an i7. But it's just hypothetical since I don't know if the binning process would still happen for ES cpus or if they are taken from a batch just for testing purposes with compatibility stuff or whatever.
But seeing how bad it over clocks that's what makes me think that if it wasn't an ES and part of an actual skylake product line, it wouldn't have been binned as an i7
Ryzen 2600 for $120 , Microcenter $30 off motherboard combo = killer deal
Keeks Seven Ryzen 5, 1600 $79.99 + Asrock B450 Pro 4 $89.99 - $30 bundle deal = $139.98 before tax at MicroCenter. Not quite as good as the deal I got for a friend earlier this year with a $65 Asrock AB350 Pro 4 but it's close.
I am still using a z170 pro gaming carbon with i5-6600k. I am in process of putting together a new system for maybe around xmas this year or a little after. I have been super impressed though with the 170 and 6600k. By far the longest lasting setup I've had that has remained relevant all this time. The setup can still rock AAA games today at 4.1ghz, 1050ti, and 32gb of ram. I can't even bring myself to sell this system once I upgrade as I will probably find some diminished role for it in my home network setup. Love the videos man!
The Ryzen 7 2700 is only $150 at the Micro Center. That is a awesome price for 8cores 16threads.
2080's and 2070's are dropping too. $560 for a Aorus Extreme 2080 and $450 for the 2070 Aorus Extreme. These are the best prices i've seen by far. I even spotted an open box Red Devil 5700XT for $350. Zen2 R9 3900X anyone. There available for $550, all at the Micro. I also just picked up some FLARE-X 16GB kits of 3200cl14 B-die for $100 a peice. Let's just say I spent all the extra money i had before I left the store. If anyone ever makes it to the states. I found a Stash of 3900X's for $550. Those seem to getting impossible to find near MSRP.

Why anyone would buy a used 6700k for $125 when you can get a new 6 core Ryzen 2600 with the same IPC for $120 is beyond me.
I just paid 170 for ny Msi gaming b150
Live in China, and got one of these for about $40 to put in an old motherboard. Got a bios off some Russian overclockers site and everything has been plain sailing.
Probably the best value PC I’ve built.
i7 6700k on Gigabyte HD3-Z170 with HiperX Predator 3200 MHz@3600 overclocked on 4.5 GHz got on Cinebench 15 around 980 points.
I'd love to see you do an i7 8700k QN8G ES. I've been considering one but after this video I can see if I want full performance from one i'd be better off not buying an ES.
My Maximus VIII Hero and 6700k has been working great since 2016 recent bios is kinda odd though because it says it was released in april of 2018 but then you load it and it says march...
Well you said it Tim. Doesnt make any sense at all to buy this CPU+Mainboard today. Ryzen 2600+B450 will do the same and much better in some situations for the same $$. Plus you have the option to upgrade to 12/16 cores.
I recently thought about picking one of these up, but decided against it because I was too worried a bios update would brick it. Thanks for taking the risk for me!
I have a z170 motherboard and i was wondering if it's worth to modify the bios for a 9th gen cpu (because 4 cores kind of suck). Please consider checking that out
Nope. Most VRMs will have issue with an 8700k or 9900k even if you somehow get the bios to allow it, leading to serious bottle necking. Even at stock clocks Most z270 would have issues with 9900k. Most z170 is a plain out no too.
@@Trick-Framed well i know that it can be done on a 9900k the guys from techpowerup did it and many others but to be honest i was thinking more like a 9600k😅😅. But i researched a little and i found the process of modding the bios quite hard to understand
@@luigius8590 Some guy named Luumi managed to get one specific board from asrock (the tech spot article you're referring to) and DER8AUER got 2 Asus boards to work. That's it. It's not like every board is built well enough to handle the power needs of 8th or 9th gen. It's that simple.

A used quad core processor isn't worth over $100 to me nowadays!
I think the conclusion is. If you for some strange reason has a z170mobo laying around anyway, but no CPU to put in it - this is a good deal... If not, get a second gen ryzen for the same price and you can have all new parts and dont have to deal with, or worry about strange bugs and tweaks to make it work.
In my home town i picked up a ryzen 2600 for 80 usd ,, and bought a used mis b350m bazooka for 40 usd off of ebay.. and the ram was new off of newegg,, the cheap stuff OLOy 2x8 , 2666 49.99 usd when it was on sale .. and it OCed to 2933.. so more or less 175 usd after tax. the used ryzen market is really good right now.
4.2GHz Skylake 4 core 8 thread CPU. Why is it so amazing this is pretty good CPU? Essentially it is the 6700k as claimed at those clocks, which last time I checked was the fastest consumer level CPU available just 4 years ago. It's not low end garbage when it was new, it was high end. In just 4 years high end doesn't suddenly become poor. In fact most high end CPUs end up being pretty good for well over 5 years. So it's still a good CPU, and especially viable for the majority of games where single threaded performance matters.
Getting a chip like that makes more sense for someone upgrading an existing system with a 6600k. $125 is cheaper than the lump sum of buying a R5 2600, a decent mobo and equivalent ram (8GB to 16GB). For someone looking for a budget system (mobo + cpu + ram), it makes much more sense to pick up a R5 2600 + mobo + ram or to pick up a cheap oem system with a 3rd/4th gen i5 for around $60 to $120, add a SSD if it doesn't have one and a decent gpu (something like a RX 570 or GTX 1060) for sub $120. Maybe upgrade to a decent 500~600w bronze psu (EVGA has some pretty good sales in their B-stock and the Corsair CX550 tends to go on sale somewhat regularly) if the existing one isn't good enough. I know some oems use bare like 240~300w psus in a lot of office oriented systems.
Disclaimer: Your results may vary based on your geographical location. I live in the US with relatively easy access to computer recyclers and a ok second hand (craigslist/letgo/offerup) market. What sort of oem systems I can get for sub-$100 may not be realistic in your area.
840 cb score.. 🙄 Had one of those $25 X58 6core xeons do that some time ago,.. On stock everything.
The x58 is still valid today
damn, my X5670 and Asus P6T cost me as much as someone can buy a 2600 and b450 motherboard for now. it was a phenomenal deal at the time (easily a year or 2 before Ryzen was even leaked) and I would do it again, it just boggles my mind you can get that much performance for that amount now. AMD really has changed the gaming market for the better, hopefully they continue to do so.
My 5820k was really finicky, it's really tricky overclocking, but OMG I feel good knowing it's doing way better than the 6700k wannabe in your video!
Buying a Skylake ES CPU is a waste of time and money. You can get a 6 core Ryzen 2600 for cheaper and an entry level 8 core Ryzen 2700 for only a little more.
You should try BCLK overclock instead. That way the resulting RAM freq would be more than 3000 Mhz and although AVX speed would suffer, it's still negligible compairing to the gains of having faster RAM.
nobody here had time to watch the whole video b4 commenting lol
I know right
Definitely not. Lol I'm still watching
Not me
true story even now
You could go with the Ryzen 2600 and a cheap motherboard but, that would take away the cool and unique factor. Everybody and their moms has a Ryzen 2600 but, not many people have an Intel Engineering sample that's actually worth a damn and can push a decent amount of frames. That may not matter to some but, I actually think it's pretty interesting.
I got a deal for 750w PSU,a GTX 760 2GB(Yes I know,a 1050 would've been better) ,a 500GB HDD and a few case fans! All totalled for 85 Euro
I have a ES i5 7460x and a ES i7 7820x surprising cheap from ebay. Don't try resell em though on open market places lol they take them ads down almost immediately. The i5 hits 5ghz and is my htpc CPU.

Buying those es samples doesnt feel like a great deal for me :/.
I was considering upgrading to this from my 6600K but I don't want to give up my 4.7ghz all-core overclock. I'm actually running the same voltage (1.420v) on it at 80C max load with no issues for 3 years so far.
This is an engineering sample sooo it doesn't oc that good
The used market for Ryzen is just too good, even the used market for intel hasn't dropped to compensate. My ITX system has an i5 4570, and I've been wanting to upgrade it to a 4770, but on ebay they're like $100 used for the non-K chip, and I always think "why would I make that upgrade when I can get an r5 1600 for the same amount of money" the extra cost to get into DDR4 and an AM4 board seems to get lower every day, and my board in that system is kinda jank anyway... but then what do I do with the old stuff nobody is gonna want to buy a 4570 with an itx board...
idknw why you say 3200mhz should be possible on enginering sample 0000 while my original i7 6700k cant get past 2666 mhz either, 3200 mhz is more like ryzen. original specs of i7 6700k z170 motherboard says 2666mhz is maximal compatibele.
still a good CPU if you allready own a high end Z170 board, just bought one for $100 from Ali, does 4,4ghz-4,5Ghz stable, set it at 4,3 ghz with a little less Voltage. Nice Gaming CPU ! Don't forget you can buy really nice, high end Z170 boards these days for bargain prices. Cinebench scores are useless if you only game and surf the net.

sadly I'm finding myself considering one of those ES cpu's for my X99 SLI motherboard, if for no other reason than because people are still trying to charge $4000 for a *second hand effing XEON* just because it's x99 and not x58 or x79 >:(
V3 Xeons are not bad at all, I run a 2673 v3 12c/24t in my plex box and paid under 130 for it and it is not an ES. Haswell Xeons are cheap, the V4 Broadwell ones are still stupid expensive, though I assume enterprises aren't quite ditching them yet is the main reason.

And I'd definitely try to pull for at least a 3900X if not a 3950X, which are both more expensive, and less total bandwidth than quad channel on x99
Looks like the CPU (AFTER OC) is somewhere between a stock 6700k and 7700k. Still pretty good for the money if you already have a board.
Now that the new 10th Gen. Core i3's (10100) will essentially be a 7700K (4cores 8threads).
I wouldn't recommend buying one of these. But, if your like me and Timmy Joe-leeroy here, that won't stop you from tinker"N" around with some moddin. I just finished up delidin my Core i7 3770K and got it to 5GHz. On a z77 ASRock Extreme4. It was stuck a 4.6GHz and would throttle at 105°c. Now it does 5GHz at 80°c. Definitely happy with this result. It gets over a 1000cb in Cinebench R15 and runs solid. Though, my z77 Extreme4 is holding up the 1600MHz Crucial Ballistix (Micron) kit. It hits a wall at 2400MHz. But, that's pretty good with a 1600MHz DDR3 kit from 7 years ago. If anyone was to buy a chip like this. A high-end BIOS flashible board is definitely needed.
@Souls Of Black yes, intel wont kill its i5 series

0:18 "graranteed" should be the first tip off.....
I'm sorry Timmy, but Intel's feeling don't equate law. If they give you the CPU to keep, their NDAs and so on quickly lose meaning. The only people who might care are Intel themselves in the form of not wanting to do business with you - They have ZERO legal footing here.
I have the 6700k oc to 4.9 1.35v same bord cb 1060 this cpu still murks games

Now I have a paperweight, but oh well some people lose $600 GPUs just after warranty expiration for no reason at all. 3930k actually no. The boards are more expensive for me than the QH8F alone (like twice). Even the crappy Huanan X79's are as expensive usually and a 3930k is not much faster if even (stock it's slower singlethread) than a Skylake-ES apart from multithreaded applications.

How do you reach 815cb i only get 728cb at 4.8ghz and 3600mhz ram
@@DesFTW_ and a 6600k to btw
@@Frozen09 you must have hit the silicon lottery with that sample mine only goes to 4.7 GHz @ 3.20 v
Can you please let me know if it is worth upgrading from an i36100 to this cpu in the video am i going to see any benefits?
i got a whole dell from the trash that had a i7 6700 in it and it works well
Lol my dad was rocking my old 920 i7 x58 system I built in 2009 until last year, was even gaming on it, I don't see any reason why a 6700k wouldn't be able to run any modern stuff.
Zen and Zen + runs AVX in TWO clock cycles, not one. From Haswell on AVX 2 instructions have been on intel chips at full speed. Granted it brings the chip to its knees however next gen PS and Xbox will have Zen 2 which has actual AVX 2 instructions that complete in one clock cycle and going forward programmers will be utilizing those instructions. Saying a 6700K is comparable to ANY Zen or Zen + is a pickle. Sure, if it has more cores and threads it may be better at content creation or any other field that will utilize the extra cores/threads, however Zen and Zen + are closer to ivy bridge and haswell, respectively, in single core performance. In the end it depends on what you want to do with your processor. Remember, the 6700k, when OCed, beats the r5 3600 in all but multi. Not by alot, mind you, but it does. Your sample may not lol.
I have qhqf es cpu @2.60ghz, did not overclock it yet, and 1694 cinebench score, is it a good cpu or not?
I fucking love you fam! My x58 motherboard died recently so i've had to fall back on a Z270 with a Pentium in it that i was using for mining in 2017. Was wondering if it was worth it to spend $99 on a new motherboard or a little bit more on a 6700k.
I got ryzen 7 1700xfor 129usd and a x370 mobo. Best pc choice I ever made.
i got a 4770k, asus sabertooth z97, with vengeance 16g ddr4 for $130. Now running at 4.7ghz with h60 , temps high 60s while gaming
how tf r u using ddr4 with 4770?
@@THEMK0070 my bad ddr3. Still not bad $130 for cpu,mobo and ram
wow i run this on maximus 4 on 2600k @ 4.2ghz in CB15... My 2600k can actually get stable 5 but i turned it down. after upgrading to 2990wx.. EDIT: i meant 600 on 2600k not 900!
F also hold shift when you restart and you can go into troubleshot and restart into bio. dont need to worry about hitting del then
great video show piece I still have one of the 1 of the 2 qhqg cpus , in 2017 got cpus both for 150 on ebay, price went way up after tech yes city's video on them though.
A 4 core over 125$ to me is not cheap!! Specislly 4 generations behind. I'd expect more like half that at least used...
The Mounties are galloping toward your house as we speak to collect you and that CPU. You can hide out here if you want!
this engineering sample 2,6 Ghz isn't worth it at all is not 6700K which had 4 Ghz base clock for anyone wanting a pc just buy ryzen 5 2xxx or 3xxx
