Intel Core i7-6850K 3.6GHz Processor 6 Core for Socket 2011-3 in Box

Key features:

  • Threads: 12
  • Maximum Frequency: 3.8 GHz
  • Broadwell (5th Gen)
  • Cache Memory: 15 MB
  • Unlocked
  • Thermal Design Power (TDP): 140 W
See full description

  • CPU Speed

    The speed at which the processor operates in everyday use.

    During the execution of demanding applications (e.g. games), the frequency may automatically increase up to the Maximum Processor Frequency.

  • Cores

    The natural individual processing units that the processor has. The more cores a processor has, the more efficient it is in running multiple applications simultaneously. For simple use, 4 cores are sufficient, while for gaming and video processing, at least 6 are recommended.

  • Socket

    The processor socket type.

    The motherboard we choose should have the same socket in order for the processor to "fit in".

  • Maximum CPU Speed

    The maximum processor frequency is the frequency that the processor can reach when executing demanding applications that use one core. Generally, when running demanding applications (e.g. games), the frequency can automatically increase up to the Maximum Processor Frequency depending on the number of cores in use. (the fewer cores are active, the closer they can operate to the maximum frequency)

  • Unlocked

    Ability to change the processor clock settings to achieve higher operating frequency (overclocking).

  • Cache Memory

    Cache is a very fast memory that acts as an intermediary between the processor and RAM. It stores data that is frequently useful to the processor for faster access.

    Overclocking 4.5 Ghz! With Asus Strix X99 Gaming motherboard, liquid cooling, and 32GB G.Skill DDR4 3200Mhz memory, it's perfect. Incredibly fast, it doesn't lag anywhere. Six cores for many tasks.

    Overclocked at 4.2 GHz with a Noctua NH-D15S with a second fan, and the results are as follows:
    - AIDA64 CPU&FPU (together) Stress test: 55 to 60 degrees Celsius on the cores, with a power consumption of 145W.
    - Passmark Performance Test CPU Mark: 16918
    - Cinebench R15: 1325
    In other words, it outperforms even the 1000€ 5960X!
    The above was achieved on an Asrock Fatal1ty X99 Professional Gaming i7, with SM951 256GB and 64GB RAM.
    I highly recommend it without hesitation.

    Awesome processor for enthusiast users, but Intel fools us with power consumption as soon as you play around with overclocking, it draws as much power as the previous generation Haswell E. AIO watercooling or custom is recommended, even better. With Corsair 110i gt 4.3 GHz easily, but ABOVE 1.32V WITH 1.35V for 4.4 GHz we reach 1.420 volts and temperatures rise above 86°C, which is not suitable for 24/7 use, depending on the component you achieve. If you are on the previous generation Haswell E or even the pre-previous one, the upgrade is not worth the money. Wait until summer 2017 when the PCIe protocols and the speed of the PCI lanes will change. If you are only into gaming, don't even take the step for an upgrade, the 1150 or 1151 platform is still the best choice in terms of performance to price ratio! You can easily set up a hackintosh while the Broadwell E are still new... for such things. It's better to get an Nvidia 1070 GTX or 1080 GTX graphics card.
