Think I read somwhere on HUKD yesterday somone mentioning the 6600K for £129. Or was I imagining that?

I am sure someone said they saw the 6600k in poundland or was that a dream? No I'm sure of it...

I got mine for £155 because I ordered the 6600 when it was in stock but it became OOS. So I told them to send me the 6600K so they did and edited the price whilst I was online.

I believe the warranty terms are different for an OEM CPU where as Amazon are selling a Retail CPU

Ohhh okay. Good deal if anyone can get, I already have my own i5 6600k, just waiting on my HyperX 16GB DDR4 memory to come in the post tomorrow to get it up and running :smile:

ive been running an AMD 6300fx with no over clocking since early 2014, it cost me £79 and can still run bf4 on ultra at 1080. So upgrading every year certainly isn't true. I'm no fan boy though, I know Intel is better for games, I've just not had the need to swap yet.

The price of the 6700k is currently super inflated in the UK due to 'shortages' while people in the USA can walk into a shop and easily buy one for equivalent of £240. It has been £265 in the past, and £275 and last week it was £290 on Overclockers. Eventually it might get back to its proper price?

Cheapest i7 6700k is around £320. Nowhere near the £275 mark, where can you find this under £300

I'd probably go for a skylake cpu and motherboard bundle from scan over this, you'd end up spending about the same and retailer in the uk (check scan's today only deals)

OEM version from Novatech works out about the same price after TCB, to save ordering from abroad.

rev6 do you think the extra threads will come into play for DX12 gaming?

Heat added OP! :wink:

regovaxe to gupsterg

1 Dec 15 1 #9

Imho it's not worth the extra cost. You're looking at a 5-7% performance increase in gaming so an extra 3-5fps maybe. The major pro of the i7 is hyperthreading which is not utilised in most games and any upcoming games for the next year or few. I would only recommend the i7 if you're planning on running diff programs simultaneously ie gaming while performing scientific calculations etc to make use of the extra cores as that's one of the few scenarios in which you will see a difference.

rev6 to gupsterg

2 Dec 15 1 #27

Yes, I've seen examples of it. But I don't believe the price difference is worth it. Unless you do other thread intensive work like virtual machine/encoding, things like that.

Interesting logic.

This is about as cheap as you can get the 6600k right now so its hot but iv seen them cheaper so i'll hold off for now. Im hoping for a price fall somewhere in the new year

Spark

Go AMD then, you'll be wanting/needing an upgrade every year, I guarantee it. :laughing:

I'm beginning to regret buying an i5 2500k. 4 years later, and I still can't justify upgrading!

Lyrrad

1 Dec 15 #21

Thanks OP

Spark

1 Dec 15 #20

It's OK. I'd say it's only really worth an upgrade when you start to notice that games aren't running as you think they should with your GPU etc.

redarrowrules

1 Dec 15 1 #19

Thanks for the advice. Will hold off.

redarrowrules

1 Dec 15 1 #15

Worth upgrading from an i5 2500k?

Spark to redarrowrules

1 Dec 15 2 #18

Probably not unless you want to jump to DDR4.

Spark

1 Dec 15 #17

You can back order it on Amazon. As long as you're not in a hurry then it should be fine.

I would want the K version really for overclocking.

My local Fish and Chip shop is selling it for £75.
But, guess what? They're both out of stock :wink:

Spark

1 Dec 15 #12

I would personally prefer to move away from AMD FX but I'm unsure whether or not to stick with DDR3 and get a 4790k or just go the whole way and get this with a 1151 board.

gupsterg

1 Dec 15 #10

Thanks, did see the TechSpot CPU performance page & Anandtech, from those 2 it seems as res/settings go up CPU scaling occurs less. Shame both reviews are on early access / beta software.

Doogeh

Hot. Unlikely to see it cheaper imminently.

There are shortages of these higher grade chips, and UK suppliers can't meet demand. to make matters worse Amd can't compete with Intel so they charge what they want.
Also the USD GBP exchange rate is balls at the moment, so it's keeping prices high.
Heard this through gibbo from Ocuk, sounded pretty reasonable.
Just bought a 6600k for 195 myself, wasn't too unhappy with that...

TheShadowWalker

1 Dec 15 #2

this or i7 6700k, which has been £255 in prev deals. hmm

OnlyJoeKing to TheShadowWalker

1 Dec 15 1 #3

There's apparently a shortage of the i7-6700K's at the moment. If I see one under £275 I'm sold. Otherwise I reckon it'll have to be the i5...

rev6 to TheShadowWalker

1 Dec 15 #5

Depends if you need the extra threads for encoding, etc.
