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?

If budget is not a limit, I would suggest you to go with 6700K, it can be undervolted like 6700 or 6700T.
It also allows you to overclock to an average of 4.4GHZ on all cores = close to a 3820K 6 core performance in multi-threading when you really need the speed.
If you do not need the hyper threading performance, then might go for 6600K.

6700 is indeed whats in my mind.
I think budget is of course no issue for anything that can afford 6700.

Current C-Zone price;
CORE I7 6700 (4C/8T) RM1272
CORE I7 6700K (4C/8T) RM1431

The price is just less than RM200 differences. The concern is on the power consumption. Many website revealed that 6700k actually consume more than 100 watt.

I actually had the idea to underclock and undervoltage. But I wonder how power effecieint I can get down to. Similar to 6700T performance and power efficient? I failed to find any web review doing that. If you found one, hope can share...  notworthy.gif

You don't need to be worry about power consumption with either CPU.
The reason why 6700K uses more power is because out-of-the-box, it's based clock speed is set at higher speed.
6700 (3.4GHZ base / 4GHz Turbo)
6700K (4 GHz base / 4.2 GHz Turbo)
Use the motherboard UEFI/Bios to tune the 6700K to 3.4GHz base and 4GHz turbo - or you can even set it till 2.1 GHz = did that on my 3770K , very low power consumption).
Since you are able to afford a PCI-e SSD (Samsung 256/512GB), RM200 difference is not that much - it gives you the flexibility to get higher speed when you really need it.
