HI guys,
I am getting new system and hardly into gaming. I planning a reasonable fast system with 32GB RAM, PCIe SSD as boot etc...
Most of the time, I do not need much processing power.
I aware that Intel show different power for 3 type of i7 processor. And the 6700k that rated 91watt seems easily exceed 100+ watt in many review.
I am very concern on temperature... I know 6700T is what I needed. But I did not see it in any store.
So my questions is... should I buy;
6700 - Just run as it is...
6700K - underclock and undervoltage it... wonder can get similar power consumption as 6700T?
I have the 6700k for months at stock speed and haven't start overclocking it yet, running it on the famous Hyper 212x cooler with no heat issue at all (temperature at 45~5x c degree in non aircond room).
I went with the I7 6700K because I don't upgrade often and I am reserving that extra OC power for future, if I ever wanted to OC for some reason.
However, if you decided to go with 6700k, you will also need to pair it with the more expensive z170 motherboards so it all comes back to your budget.
But if you're absolutely have no interests in OC then go with the 6700, then again you also do not need a high-end cooler for it and something like my 212x should do, replying to your other thread about heat sinks.
On side note, since you're not into gaming, mind if I ask what are you using this "reasonable fast system" for?
