- Testing the Intel i7-6800K six core 14nm CPU in 10 popular and demanding games in 2023, using an RTX 3070 discrete GPU.
Intel 14nm 6 core CPUs aren’t exactly a thing of the past- you can buy one from most retailers online right now, brand new. However, they’ve actually been around since 2016. The original CPU of this spec, the i7-6800K, can be had quite cheaply and has numerous advantages over its younger siblings. Is it still a worthwhile CPU to buy in 2023, or should you look elsewhere?

Note: my X99 board misreports CPU power consumption. I measured total system consumption at the wall as 215w (4.3GHz) during Cinebench, compared to 272w from the preceding i7-5930K (4.5GHz)
what voltage was broadwell using?Xtu setting report about 1.37, am i right? Thats huge, mine doing 4.4 on 1.28 stable
@@user-hy4on2wj4x I think I settled on 1.32 or 1.33
Nice pick, yo

Is possible for you to test some AMD FX cpus? maybe the FX 8350 or the "mighty" FX 9590.
To be honest, I expected a little more from this processor. I'm using an i7 3770K and I'm watching your videos to see what's best for me to replace it with in the near future. It seems to me that those old Xeons, which I adore for the price of performance, are losing a battle with newer processors that I can buy in a store, with a warranty at a decent price... ;-)

@@kadawedavid7128 🤣 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Stop it!
You actually have a pretty good 6800K. Broadwell-E typically topped out around 4.1-4.2 GHz, with the high quality samples hitting 4.3GHz. It’s why when Broadwell-E first launched there were a lot of recommendations to just get Haswell-E and overclock it to 4.5-4.7GHz.
Mine 6850k achieved 4.5😎.Looks like quality control is a thing
The pain of a new node shrink will do that. 22nm was mature by this point 14nm was new and couldn't get them clocks up.
I got one of those eBay extreme edition 6950Xs and ive had it sitting stable at 4.4 for almost a year. My old 6800k it replaced also was able to hit 4.4, but it usually ran about 4.0 due to the limited Alienware Area-51 board it was sitting in.
interesting i didnt know this, i was given a 6850K in a board by a friend to replace my 4790K, i immediately OCd it to 4.3ghz barely touching voltage to get to where my 4790K was and never had issues. didnt know this was a kinda rare result lmao
does make me wonder how high i could push it honestly.
Yeah broadwell sucked at overclocking but the IPC gain and 14nm made a 4.2ghz on par performance of a 4.7ghz haswell cpu.
I used to have a 6800K but the only problem was that is was from AMD.
Oof, it’s alright friend, it can’t hurt you anymore, (I think).
I had an A8-5600k in my first “gaming” PC paired with a GTX 950. Now that was an awful PC but I loved it.
atleast it wasnt an i5 5200u
i had the a10- 5800k overclocked to like 4.5. The i3 2100 was slightly faster 🤣🤣
I have X99-A and i7 6800k with 1070gtx and it's a great combo since 2016!
I have the exact same and I can't run league of legends or pubg without seeing frame drops in the 20s 30s 40s 50s
@@Moclipz Actually never saw dips in multiplayer games, maybe i am less sensitive to dips than the average gamer (haven't run any benchmark for dips and previous pc was old junk).
@@Moclipz i also have the exact same setup and can run league and pubg fine at nearly everything max graphics. id look into new thermal paste had this issue in the past or perhaps need more ram/ its not running dual channel
Yup, still using the exact same setup as a professional video editor. Although this 5960x is looking nice, as well as 3060rtx and probably additional 32Gb of RAM.. you know, just to future proof it a bit more. :)
That Edram on the i7-5775C is a godsend. It makes a higher clocked 6 core lose to a lower clocked 4 core. Insane.
Im pretty sure that ever since core 2 we were at a point where how fast you could get data to the cpu was the main limiter of performance. Depends on the workload of course, linear workloads really got crushed with modern branch predicition.
I’m always super interested in these, but it’s so obvious just a new budget friendly cpu is always better with how much tech advancement has occurred in the time since. Great content.
Great video! Good job👍
BW-E was a beast. Was thinking about this CPU back when I had a X99 platform.
This is the CPU I use daily, it does the job for me despite catching a lot of flak online, cheers for the video
Keep up the great work good sir!
Thanks! 😄
Man, i just can't get board of ,,The doc will see you now"! It's such an epic banger! :D (Doing good, keep it up)
Been running a 6800k since 2016. Built the system about a month after it came out and made a point of getting it over a 6700k build with the goal of it lasting me at least 6 years. Here I am now only change to the system I have made was upgrading the 1070 to a 1080 ti.
Honestly only in the last year or so have I noticed the CPU start to show it's age so I decided to see how far I can push an OC. can run a stable OC at 4.3ghz which really brought the life back into the CPU. Lets just say I already sure as hell got my money's worth but probably still wont upgrade for a little while longer.
The broadwell series was super under rated that 128mb level 4 cache is really helping now
great videos as usual
Thank you so much for the awesome video! I was wondering what is the fantastic music that you use in this?
The intro track is "808 Doorbell Chime" by Unicorn Heads, which can be found here on TH-cam. The other tracks are "Vercetti Forever" and "The Doc Will See You Now" by Backing Track, there's a link to their site in the description.
Yet another surprising, interesting, high quality video! With these videos you are really spoiling us Mr Ambassador
I know you probably won't do this any time soon, but I do look forward to the day that you get your mitts on a Ryzen 7 5800X3D to show what the AM4 platform tops out at compared to the budget Ryzen 5 5600/5600x and the rest of the stack.
3:12 if I remember, Haswell and Broadwell eDRAM was slightly different than Skylake-based eDRAM in more ways than capacity. In Haswell/Broadwell CPUs the eDRAM was a “L4” victim cache, while in Skylake-based CPUs it was more of a buffer between the CPU and the memory
I do love your old tech reviews but I personally find the lack of clocks of the overclockable parts in comparison tables very confusing.
8:40 is it 1440p Ultra or High Iceberg Man?!? Haha
Great video
I like this video 💪 for Esport games cpu like this is still all you need imo. Power consumption is likely pretty high tho ? My 7900 can score 29k in cinebench 23 while Max power draw is 130w and im super happy with that.. while gaming is somewhere around 40-75 usually going up to 90 in very few games i play. Ryzen 5600 non x would be my recommendation nowdays for "budget" builds. Its so cheap and great imo
Seems I made good buying decisions back in 2016/2017 with this CPU and the 1080ti :D
I've since upgraded to the 6950x(got it cheap and sold the 6800k) and I can't really say I'm looking into upgrading anytime soon.
I like the epic music with casual horse riding
Damn, this guy is churning out quality here. Love it!
Thank you for this. I personally run 5 cores at 4.2 and the best core at 4.4. Anything above 4.3 takes too many volts for me. 4.5 is possible but not stable. I also use the Asus X99A-II.
i still have mine, running 4.2 since day one almost. i just changed my 1070 for a 4070ti and it works perfectly
YES, I have always had issues over clocking my 6800k as well! It keeps resetting and I'd have to OC it every start up 😥😥😥😥
Really enjoyed the pacing of this video by the way, so thank you!
you should try the 2699 v3 or the 2696 v4, with prices falling, those might not be bad cpus for productivity or vms
Where/ what version of intel xtu did you download, the version I’m trying wont work
Amazing video!!! I love your content!!!!
👍🏆 Great content Iceberg Tech! The 9600k , 9700k and 9900k were a interesting generation. A 6 core i5 with no HT. An 8 core i7 with with no HT. The first i9. If I had not wimped out and bought a 9900k instead of a 9700k, I probably still have it and would have waited longer than the 13700k to upgrade. Live and learn.
That's weird with your G1 board. I also had a Gigabyte x99 Phoenix and a 6800k and I was able to overclock it to 4.4ghz with a -2 AVX offset. Tho.... I ended up selling that board + CPU two days before Zen 2 was released.
I think I had some trouble getting some settings to hold. IIRC, I had to increase or disable as many power limits as I could.
Still running my 8086K, its a 8700K binned by Intel, which for me was only $20 over the 8700K. Mine happily sits at 5.2GHZ allcore 1.25V Vcore on open loop. Great little cpu. Paired with my EVGA 1080ti Black which clocks just over 2ghz, also on water, A Z390 Aorus Pro MB, 32G Corsair 3600 mhz ram this old PC is still going strong.
I have a Core i7 6950X (10 core version of this) in one of my homelab servers, with 64GB of memory. It's running 8 VMs right now.
Is it overclocked results or stock for all of those FPS comparison to other cpu's?
Good luck on your search for a 6950x. I came away with one to upgrade my x99 system entirely out of dumb luck. The seller was a shop and listed it as cheap because it was a "customer returned item" and they didn't have a way to sanity check the CPU. Thankfully, I was able to pick it up and it arrived working just fine. Gave some staying power to the system in question, for sure.
That said, x99 as a platform really wasn't a fan of pushing high ddr4 memory clocks. I wouldn't be surprised if the thing holding back core clock was the added thermals of handling four channels of ddr4 3200.
i managed to overclock my xeon 2699 v4 in the bios just by disabling the first 2 cores, basically with all cores active it fails to post if i edit ram timings, voltages or any other cpu clock parameter, perhaps this might be a similar issue? it also happens using a gigabyte board, my x99 soc champion, using the latest bios, perhaps it's an issue with the gigabyte bios
I bought one new back in 2016 together with a X99 Ultra Gaming Board. Mine never clocked higher than that either regardless of what i did to it. Still have it, though i sold the motherboard for nearly full retail price again - 5 years later. Talk about good value. Cannot say the same about the CPU which was basically worthless after those 5 years and lost 90% of it´s value.
Hi dude, Love your vids. I'd love to see a video on either the RX 460 or the FX 6300. The 460 was my first GPU and was a newer GTX 750 Ti option and the FX cpu seemed to be quite popular back in the day and there seems to be less coverage on the lower end FX, the 8000 series got all the screen time.
Are those cheap or even worth it for a video? It's like the hundreth time I mention this since several years ago, FX are obsolete and never good. A FX cannot keep up with Intel 2nd gen or Sandy Bridge...
@@takehirolol5962 That's the point, alot of people had FX back in the day. Something like an FX 6300. It's not the question of should you buy one it's just fun to see how they are now
@@brandenbridge5307 Almost Nobody reviews them anymore, RandomGaminginHD already did the final videos on this one.
Hardware Unboxed and GamersNexus did their comparisons several years ago.
The FX cannot keep up with a 3050 that is a 1070-1080 GPU which is a minimum GPU nowadays.
Are those cheap in Cex or eBay?
@@takehirolol5962 Alot of people still run a Gtx 1060 or lower. You can get an FX CPU for £15 on Cex. Most popular games will run on nearly anything if you lower your expectations
@@brandenbridge5307 not worth it buying them at all in my opinion huge TDP and no perforamce terrible since core performance ,pretty much better buying old iviy or sandy bridge xeon from china that any FX cpu or used 10th gen i3 you can get for 30-50
4,3Ghz overclock with DDR4-3200Mhz is normal.
I have i7-6950x and my overclock is set in the bios but works only after set Windows 10 in sleep mode.
>Haswell-E with 4,5 Ghz
prime95 AVX2 is really hot|power hungry or not stable with high overclocked Haswell-E.
Also there is no AVX-offset for overclocking like for Haswell-E.
There are older high core count Xeons (Haswell-E, v3 10-18 cores) which are cheap and you use hacks for boost or ReBar.
But the are slower in games as the consumer counter part i7-5820k etc., because of the slower clock.
I get my Xeon 2696v3 for ~90 euros.
And as always, great video :3
Isn't the i5-4690k and lga1151 socket?
At 1:33 you mention that you used it with the same motherboard Harwell-e lineup so I'm a little confused..
It's 1150, but yes.
I added the i5 to the on-screen text because it's a list of the CPUs I've tested at 4.5GHz, and it's listed with the i7-5930K and i7-5960X because they're all the same 22nm Haswell architecture.
The voiceover clashes with that somewhat, because I don't mention the i5. I'm talking about the issues I had trying to OC the 6800K to 4.5, despite older CPUs on the same socket being more than capable of clocking that high.
Sorry for the confusion!
thoughts on i7 6950x vs i7 5960x? I got a nice x99 board for free and was wondering id f the 6950x warranted the price difference.
Can you please try the higher version of this "6950X"
wanting to upgrade my gf's pc on a budget. Currently running a stock i5 6600k. As games need more cores I was thinking between waiting and spend more on a new CPU and MOBO (looking at used Ryzen 2600s) or only spending 35$ and getting an i7 6800k. Do you think the performance jump from a 4core i5 to this 6 core hyper threaded cpu will be worth it? She mostly plays minecraft and I've noticed it starts to stutter a bit. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Originally had a 6800k on a ROG X99 Edition 10 Board with a 980ti I bought used. It wouldn't overclock that well and has fewer lanes then it's bigger brothers. I upgraded to a 6850k and a 1080ti, then a 6900k and two ROG 1080ti's in Vertical SLI. Still have two 6800k's in my inventory. No problems, even running with 64G of memory. I'm keeping the Build, as it's in a Helios Case, but have put together a ROG X299 / 9900X / 64g / ROG 2080ti Build. Gotta love the look of 8 sticks of Ram flanking the CPU. 😍
hello i know its weird but you should try overclockable i3 like the i3-8350K lots of people oc'ed them to 5.0ghz and got a lot of performance gain
The intel 6700 Sky Lake was also 14nm and is still a very usable and capable CPU when paired with something like a RTX 2070 Super, running on a B150 Gaming MB easily running AAA games. Been running mine since the end of 2015 upgraded the graphics card a few months ago and still using it as a second machine and back up system.
Would you recommend that 6700K for something more than games. I'm looking at used build that I found with gtx 1080 and 32gb ddr4. Planning to use it for photo/video editing, cause I am really wasting my time with my current laptop.
@@nikolaramcevic if that's all you have its not a bad setup. Still very usable for audio/video production /editing

Can we get a video comparison of the i7 5930k and the xeon 1650v3 overclocking performance and any differences worth noting??
Or maybe a video of the i7 5960x compared to xeon 1660v3 overclockablity?
I swapped the i7 5820k for a xeon e5-2697a v4 @3ghz with 32GB 2133. i want to try a higher speed kit but i doubt i will see much improvement from stock and can potentially break something (memory channels can die or some power issue with the motherboard. Risk vs reward is not very good.
I love your videos, and your general layout if things. However my biggest criticism is in most of your videos you are testing CPUs, but at 1440p. This resolution puts more strain on the GPU than the CPU so you don't see what thre ceiling for the CPU is generally. A 1080p benchmark is the typical way of measuring CPU performance because it leaves your GPU with not much to do.
I use DLSS in most titles, which means render resolution is actually below 1080. It's a more realistic way of dropping render resolution- nobody in the real world will be using an RTX 3070 at 960P, but they *might* use 1440P with DLSS Quality, which amounts to roughly the same thing.
There are exceptions, either games that don't support DLSS (Fortnite Performance Mode, which I test at 66% of 1080P) or games which I judged were lightweight enough that the CPUs I review would always be the limiting factor. After all, it's not like I'm testing 13th gen or Ryzen 7000!
Right now the only regret I have is not dropping RDR2 to DLSS Balanced, as it's clearly very close to being GPU limited at DLSS Quality, even on the X99 chips.
Just bought a z440 with xeon e5 1650v4 (same as the i7-6850k).
Finally a new video
picked up an 1660v3 which is an exact copy of 5960x, this goes easy 4.5ghz at 1.25v and 3200 ram whereas my 6800k picked for £33 earlier this year does only 4.1ghz stable at 1.25v and only 3000 for ram
I skipped on many upgrade possibilities, when my i7-6800K was my main rig.
Didn´t settle for anything, till the Ryzen 9 3900X, but my kinda early X570 board is a disgrace, compared to newer B550 boards in overall feature set.
i would love to see a video with the 6950x soon :)
Ahh the OC-Bug with Broadwell-E, i think the Specter and Meltdown patches had something to do with that.
Oh, have you done a 6950x yet? I may upgrade to it from the 6800k. Thank you for doing these videos!
Still rockin a 6950x here.
Hit 4.8ghz all 10 cores, on air (conditioner, shhhhh, yeah it's a cheat)
With headroom to go higher, one problem cropped up though, the whole house got down to 50f (10c) which in turn shut the central air down, 50f is as low as I can set it.. lol, got cold burrrrrr..
So as a result, didn't try to take the chip any higher than 4.8ghz after that..
You get 4.8 from just AC that's really good it is fully stable? And what voltages as they tap out at 5ghz for ln2 for actually benching
As for the AC just pull the temp prop out and just keep the prop warm and it'll go lower
wait, you're cooling your CPU with air conditioning? that's sick, how?
@@harrywilson7980 did that back in the spring of 2018, don't really remember exact settings, but didn't go too crazy with the voltages.. Someone (on ln2) actually hit aprox 5.5ghz with a 6950x.
Yes it was very stable until the central air kicked off..
@@us249 yes, in the spring/summer/fall.
All you really need to do is have AC running in the room, and you'd be cooling your PC with an AC unit.
Useage of AC units has a long history of cooling electronics.
However, while testing.
I just put the PC on the floor in front of the duct, and make a makeshift boot so that all the air coming through the duct has to flow through the PC.
I run rackmount cases (horizontal) which does make creating a air tight seal easier than using a tower case. Though can still be done.
PC basically becomes part of the ductwork. That same ductwork becomes a heat source in the winter months.
Normal useage of the machine, it only has a slight overclock, running all cores at its stock turbo speed of 3.5ghz.
Needless to say.
Attempting to run at 4.8ghz as a daily driver, I wouldn't still be rockin a 6950x
Have that same aio I think on my 3600x ATM not sure if it's exact mine has RGB on it but it works well for the price I got it at
Maybe the Gigabyte bios is an issue. Also from my experience with the 5930k the only way to boot at 3000/3200 mhz is to use a 1.25 ratio instead of 1, so a 24 multiplier for the ram will result in 3000 mhz, that was the only I managed with the X99-UD4 to boot at DDR4 3000. Also this meant i only needed a 35 multiplier
Still using my i7 6800k and GTX 1080 I purchased in 2016. Have mine running at 4 GHz at 1.3v
There was a period of about 2ish years if i remember right where a Windows update didn't let you overclock due to the spectre meltdown vulnerability. Board manufacturers released bios updates to fix this.
what would be a nice upgrade if you had the chance? i have the same exact config, but plan on getting a better monitor, like de odyssey g8
@jorgeruedamd1441 I'm planning on keeping my current cpu and mobo for a few more years. I've already upgraded my gpu since it has been showing its age recently and i can carry the new one easily to a newer mobo/cpu later. Also taking advantage of ssd prices and fully upgraded to only ssd's (2tb nvme, and 4 sata ssds). Gonna wait and see what the cpu market looks like in a few years. Don't wanna jump into a current socket that won't be supported.
what voltage were you running on the 6800k, its barely consuming like 25w in many games, or is there some bug and its showing wrong?
Yeah, the X99 board isn’t accurately reporting consumption. I took a wall reading of 215w during Cinebench, compared to 272w for the i7-5930K and 361w for the 5960X
it has to be wrong no way that is real😂
been using the i7 6800K since 2016 and could edit 6k blackmagic file easily with RTX3070. Play all the games.. one of my 16 GB RAM sticks died so looking to replace it.. looking forward to upgrading to i9 13900K when I can no longer use my current one. I recommend to buy a top tier cpu, which will last you for more than 5 years.
Did you OC your 6800K?
no. I have not cos place where i live is quite hot and humid and I want to retain it's useful life.@@trg78lji43r
@6:01 I definitely like high FPS in a flight sim. For airliners and general aviation a slower frame rate is ok because the flight goes at quite a lax pace. For flying an F18 through valleys or aerobatics in the Pitts special you really do want at least 60 FPS, and more is always better. I saw DCS on one of your videos, and I'm just here to implore to get into it, because it awesome and secondly just so I can see it in your benchmark results.
iw been rocking this cpu since 2016 , mixed with a 2060. Id say its only in the last year iw notised its really time to upgrade
How tf is this channel still only at 24.3k subs?
Are you planning on doing an x299 setup? The boards are a bit pricey but the 78xx and 98xx CPUs have dropped a fair bit. I recently bought 9800x for under £100 . Clocks to 4.8ghz easily it will stretch to 5GHz but the heat is hilarious.
Yes, it's on the to-do list.
I had this chip. 6000 series were known for being poor overclockers compared to 5000 series
Iceberg, I was just wondering, because I've been watching for so long, if you could perhaps include a new 13th gen cpu in the comparison, the comparison between these cpus is very interesting, but I'd love to see how they compare to the current gen, for good reference.
I'm sure he'd be open to you sponsoring the video by providing te hradware 😉
@@ThePhoenix198 he may not be the biggest ytber but im sure he can get his grubby hands on a 12/13th i5 lol
Nice, but I've had better luck with msi for x99 oc. The godlike had a funny feature, that you could change the speed, boost and oc setting per core if you wanted. I got the i7 6850k stable at 4.4 ghz. I had gskill 8x8 3600mhz cas 16. I could get better oc if i only used 4 compared to 8 sticks, but needed the 64, adobie wouldn't crash at 64 gigs of ram
The 1650 v3 is where value is really at. Ordered one for $15 and overclocks to 4.6ghz and 4.5ghz ring all under 1.3v. Puts out less heat than my 5960x but my 5960x at 4.5 still probably wins due to the extra cache
5820k 6 Core also runs 4,2 - 4,5 GHz on generation before. 350€
your displayed wattage seems off with aroudn 20Watts while gaming. How much volts did you push and whats the estimated real power draw?
Yes, I wrote a pinned comment about that. I measured total system consumption at about 215w during Cinebench.
I am still using my 6950x i7 today! Its at 4.5GHz but I do have e a 480x60mm radiator on it hahaha with my gpu but it still dominates games.
The 6800K was actually my first desktop cpu since I only bought laptops before that. Most of them including mine capped out at 4.3ghz. I only "upgraded" from that cpu to a 2700x thanks to Asus x99 boards having an infamous bug that kills cpus along with the board itself in some cases. My 2700x was definitely noticeably worse in gaming though.
yeah did u upgrade to zen3 since than the 5xxx series is great
slap a 5800X3D in that mf you wont regret it
ryzen was only okay on am4. the only cpu in that socket that REALLY surprised me was the 5800x3d, which is my current cpu. that thing made more difference in games on its own that the cumulative progress from zen1 to zen 3. heck, it made more difference than going from a 2500k, to a 2700x, to a 5600x. it nearly doubled my underwhelming 5600x in cpu bound games.
@@GraveUypo yeah well price/performance here in SVK is great on theese 5xxx chips i got mine 5600 for 145€ and bought a35 cooler oced to 4.8Ghz stable it is pretty good for its price 660 cpu z single core over 5000 multicore for 145+30€ cooler so i am happy with that it is pretty good for some video editing and encoding too way better than 2700x even though it has 2 core less it actually matched in some tests stock ryzen 7 3700,overall for the price they are best where i live i would otherwise go for 13th or 12th gen i5 from intel most likely but they do cost way more i think i5 12400f is around 180€ so that is more than 20% price difference that is just not worth it for me. I might upgrade later to 8 core but i def do not need more than 6 cores right now i only utilize them fully while encoding videos or editing
@@tollph3314 Yes, but it was underwhelming for me since my 5800x bin was horrible and never boosted past 4.5ghz all core, but my 2700x was a golden sample that did 4.45ghz all core. I noticed a bigger uplift going from my 5800x to my old 12700k than going from the 2700x to the 5800x.
Good conntent as usual, just picked up a 6950x as an upgade from a 5960x only managed 4.2 so far,
Paid £160 but there going for around £200
its not really worth it is it ? you can get Ryzen r5 5600 for that price in certain locations which will be still better choice overall besides like multi core workloads only,for 200 you can get 5700x which is actually even as good in multi core raw performance even though it has 2cores less
What board you running and on Broadwell you are safe to go upto 1.45v for them and try to bump the ring clock it.will help
Asus Rampage v extreme , any overclocking tips welcome its on aio not air.
@@w33mik62 yeah so to start with for memory you want to go to your training settings and tell it to use smart mode it means it won't boot unless all channels are trained so you don't drop ram channels, with a 6950x you can push them pretty hard, you want to just take it slow 1.35v might get you 4.5 but if you're temp are low then 1.45v is fine, you want to get the ring as High as you can and tune the ram down for getting that lower latency if you have a way I can pm or discord I can send photos a that as I daily a x99 Asus board
@@w33mik62 also max out all your current limits and switching frequency for the vrm and set all phases active you want to set vccin around 1.95 to 2v it helps, as for ram well that depends on your stick and memory controller 1.5v is fine on these but you will need to play with vccsa keep that under 1.25v I personlly use under 1v as that got me the best stability but ever chip and board are different and you want to set vccio as th bios sets that way too high, now for ram settings that gets a little hard to judge and you can find you need more dram voltage to get the sticks to boot but will be rock solid with much less voltage so you can set for a boot vtage 1.65v for boot and then a running vtage of 1.50 1.52, I would start with 3200mhz and take it from there you might want to set some loose timings till you see what speed your chip can do say 21 23 23 56 but it's a balancing act on what you can get stable but it is worth putting sometime into tuning the ram, the ring you won't get alot put of it I'd have to check but 3.5 I think should be doable at around 1.35v cache
I got really good Silicon Lottery for my old r5-1600x could overclock to 4.3Ghz
As others have been saying, if you can get a stable 4.3 you actually have a decent 6800K. At 4.5 your Haswell chips must be quite good as well; as I had three Haswell-E chips in the past which would not do a stable 4.5 at reasonable voltage.
I'm not looking back to all that tweaking and being at the constant risk of degradation by pushing old chips to the limit since I got the 12900K, and now 13900K. Massively better CPUs.
My friend has one of these cpus and that exact same motherboard. What's weird is the computer will crash and restart when at the desktop. But it is fine when playing games
The power supply is going bad. The ripple and such is probably so bad at lower loads that the CPU is shutting down. During gaming the load increases which will usually stabilize a failing PSU. Replace the PSU and the shutdowns at idle should stop.
@Auntie Pha thanks. I'll have him try a new psu then.
@@bryanwages3518 👍Yup, I have seen it several times. The last one was a old (6-7 years running 24/7) and refurbished Enermax 850 DF PSU, top of the line PSU even refurbished. PC was 9600k, Z370 with 32 GB and RTX 2070. Played games great. Sit and watch TH-cam for a couple hours or just idle, random shutdown. Swapped in a Corsair RM850x (refurbished 😃) no more shutdowns.
Very good intro it's like a bit hardware heroin for me now 😂
i am using a i7 3770 with a lga 775 cooler on a board that doesnt support lga 775 coolers
YEAHHHH FINALLY I'VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG
Kinda funny, i thought that bios oc issues is related to my crap chinese mobo, but brand ones has these too
A bit dissapointing results, but i'm anyway pleased with my 6850k bcs it was bought for the same price as haswell, but consuming much less energy, that is really important for my cheap board
Looking at these charts made me realize just how good the R5 5600x is.
looking at this comment made me realize how good of an amd fanboy you are
@@scoob892 You're making a really strong point, it's just not the one you think you are... Bless your heart.
@@cairnex4473 thank you I really appreciate it...
the 5600 non-x ? yes, the 5600x ? hell no, you are paying extra for like 3-5% perf. and the letter X
@@autumn6994 They are priced the same in my country...
here im happy with my 10700k, took me a bit to get the 6900xt i wanted for it but got it,
I got a 3080 paired with a 10600k ... 😀 ... not complaining as anything above 90 fps at 1440p is fine and it does just that in most titles. Wanted a 13600k but mobo prices are insane at the moment.
@@AurioDK I'm just happy 4K 60 hurts or 120 depending on the game
@@AurioDK I know and if you are going 13600k you need atleast a 8 layer board for ddr5 for it to get decent speeds or its not worth getting ddr5 you're better off with b die ddr4
1:08 maybe like 7 years ago, nowadays you're better off with intel XTU or just simple ol throttle stop
I think this is the first channel I stumbled where it uses *Valorant* as a CPU benchmark testing result. I really don't get it why others don't use it when it really is a very CPU bound game. I had a 5820K back then with a 2070s, which only ran 144-200+ish FPS @1440p and now with my new 7800X3D with the same GPU @ 500-1000FPS same resolution.
Do you have i5 3470 lying around? Kinda curious.... XD Seriously...
suggestion to add RE4 Remake on benchmarks?
Yes, I've just added RE4R to my GPU test suite. It doesn't look particularly CPU-intensive, though.
Still rocking this cpu with Gigabyte X99 Designare EX 👐
And yes, it show sign of aging. I will upgrade to 14th gen maybe next year~
I simply don´t understand the used market pricing
As you said: you can get new and more efficient hardware for just a few $ more
Depends on your country, we in asia are used to it
Unfortunately, as long as people continue to pay more than those chips are really worth, the prices will remain as they are.
yeah people are still selling used 4770k's for a new ryzen 5 5600 prices here, that just makes no sense
Mine died today after 8 years. Rip to my first cpu we had a nice run
I remember dreaming about the 6900K back when I had an i3 4170
Bro Please compare GeForce 210 1GB DDR3 with HD 630 (i3 7100) please bro please!!
Please test i5 8400/i7 8700 non-k vs i5 12400. Thank you ...❤😊
I love revisiting old hardware. Just for kicks, I like to put my old 3570k through its paces every now and again. It's amazing how long you can stretch a pc out. The 2600k at 4.5GHz is probably capable of providing a 60 FPS experience in just about anything all these years later. I hope my 5800x3d and 2080 Ti will stand the test of time :)
actually, the 2080 ti has been notorious to have memory issues (due to the at the time very new gddr6) so it migth fail you in the next 3 to 5 years
@@keine_ahnung_wie_der_heisst I've had it undervolted since day 1 maybe it'll hold on just a bit longer than expected!
the 4 cores are becoming problems in certain titles like Cyperpunk Battlefield COD and so on
@@quaz1moto241 check if it's the original founder edition, those are the ones with the problem (I don't remember if it was micron who made the memory). If it's not then it should be fine.
2600k is great, just traded my dad his 2600k for my old 2600 and I got it to run 4.6ghz on an intel stock cooler. Thing still slaps hard, got it running with my old r9 fury x, certified space heater.
My brother has the Xeon equivalent of the i7 6850K (Xeon E5-1650 V4). It holds up quite well with today's games and I'm sure the quad channel DDR4 RAM helps.
Hello i have the Same processor as your brother ..but I have dual channel memory ..is there a big difference?
@@ahmadwael6601 Quad channel config offers double the memory bandwidth over dual channel. It'll certainly help with software/apps that make use of the extra memory performance. Some recent games will probably benefit too.
And how does this cpu compare to a ryzen 1600x
Ahh, X99, the stuff of dreams back then, and perhaps the stuff of nightmares in the present day (as evidenced by the difficulty overclocking). You're a glutton for punishment, and I feel a mild sense of guilt at experiencing pleasure as you suffer in order to bring us these fascinating, anachronistic, tests and comparisons. Of course you've made us curious about the 6850k now; will that one put up less resistance (heh) as it's pushed towards, and maybe even beyond, 4.5 GHz? I'll stay tuned to find out!
Mine 6850k doing noticeably better(4.5 is achieveable) so i think that high bin is a thing
Leave it to lord iceberg to have a video on some random old cpu i just learned existed
