Review: It works great on the Asus ROG Rampage 10 Anniversary Edition - It works great on the Asus ROG Rampage 10 Anniversary Edition. Plenty of lanes for SLI. This 6 core processor ran at 4GHZ on all cores right out of the box without changing a single setting. I easily overclocked this CPU to 4.4ghz @1.35V with a Noctua NH-U12S dual fan cooler. I still have to tweak various voltages, I think I can get the core voltage dropped a bit. But for now it's completely stable at good temps on Prime95 AVX and non AVX, HCI Memtest, Realbench plus other various benchmarks and games. This 6850K @ 4.4 runs cooler than my old 4 core i7-950 @ 3.9. Idle temps are usually about 27-28c and gaming temps are between 35-50c average. It's also about 60-70 percent faster in single core usage and much faster in multi core usage. Great CPU for gaming and workstation use. This new quad channel build has a little over 3 times faster ram compared to my old i7-950 tri channel ram build. My current ram is quad channel DDR4 G.Skill F4-3200C14-16GTZSW 4X16GB, my old ram was triple channel DDR3 Corsair TR3X6G1600C8D 3X2GB. Benchmarks: 21-22GBPS for the 950 / 66-67GBPS for the 6850K. This DDR4 ram has a lot better latency in benchmarks as well. Update: I hooked up an Arctic Liquid Freezer 360 with six Noctua NF-F12 fans in push/pull. I overclocked this CPU to 4.5GHz core @ 1.36V & 3.8GHz cache @ 1.33V. I can probably lower the voltages although the temps are great, I'll test that another time since it's stable. Idle temp on high performance mode is between 20-26C on the cores and 32-35C on the package, depending on ambeint temps (idles a few C above ambient in high performance mode). Full load temps are between 43-60C on the cores and package, depending on the application and ambeint temps. While playing games like GTA 5 & Ark in 1080@60hz with a 1080Ti, the temps are almost constantly under 40C, with the occasional short spike up to about 50C. This CPU is awesome with this cooler. The package temps under load never exceed my hottest cores temp, literally never. It's almost like my package temp and hottest core temp are linked under load. In fact, I've had one of my cores reach 1C hotter than my max package temp once during a stress test. Here are my Aida64 RAM speeds. READ: 68478MB/S - WRITE: 81462MB/S - COPY: 79085MB/S - LATENCY: 50.6ns.
Review: Best chip for VFX single-socket workstations. - Very happy with this chip. I work in the VFX industry building/animating in Maya, AfterEffects, Nuke, etc. Right now, I wouldn't recommend any other chip for industry professionals looking to build a single-socket workstation. This chip balances single-core speeds with higher than average core count, very impressive energy efficiency, and runs surprisingly cool (even when overclocked). Usually, the more cores packed into a chip, the slower the speed. The newer quad-cores may run faster, but will not be able to pump out multi-core capable tasks as fast as just about any six-core. This particular six-core can be overclocked to turbo at 4.3ghz and possibly higher. I've put this chip to the test running a full range of CG tasks, and it is the perfect balance of single-core and multicore speeds. Believe it or not, this chip out performs other 12-24 core workstations I have used. The higher core workstations are absolutely amazing rendering machines, but when it comes to regular use, most software will not take advantage of all those cores and you'll be stuck processing with just a few cores at much slower speeds (2-3ghz, as opposed to 4+ghz).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must have for hardcore gamers who plan on using an SLI multi GPU setup.
*by G***N on September 25, 2016*

Conventional wisdom says the quad core i7-6700k is the best gaming processor because it has better single thread performance and there are no games which fully utilize the PCIe 3.0 x16/x16 bandwidth. These guys will suggest you get an Intel Extreme processor only if do CG rendering, video encoding or software development. Guess what ? The status quo has changed. With the release of several new open world games that utilize ultra high resolution textures, graphics cards have become very bandwidth hungry, especially under SLI. Some reddit users have tested an i7-6850k, Titan XP SLI setup in x16/x16 and x8/x8 (or x16/x8) lanes per graphics card. What they found is that there is an increase of 27% in performance for Witcher 3 and 16% increase for Rise of the Tomb Raider when the graphics cards are run in x16/x16 !!! That is huge, and it is impossible to achieve unless you have a CPU that supports 40 PCIe lanes. Witcher 3 is obviously one of the most demanding games out there, but games will only get more demanding in the future. I should note that according to this test there was no difference in average frame rates for older games. I haven't done any extensive testing with my new build yet, but I did notice that I do not drop below 60 fps anymore in some games where I was previously CPU limited. One of those games is Dragon Age Inquisition, which is one the few games out there which scales up to 6 cores / 12 threads when running an SLI setup. As I am running the game on a 21:9 (3440x1440) monitor, it is very demanding on the CPU (compared to 16:9 aspect ratios) as the CPU has to process/animate more objects inside the view frustrum. DA:I runs without a glitch now that I have upgraded to 6850k. The only reason I am awarding 4 stars instead of 5 is because I think this processor is a little overpriced. The 6850k is basically an overclocked 6800k so you are paying a hefty premium for having 40 PCIe lanes. Now that is certainly important and it is the only reason I chose this over the 6700k and the 6800k but whether or not this premium is justified is somewhat debatable. Those who will not be using SLI setups will be better off buying the 6800k from a performance/price standpoint, and those who want maximum multi-threaded (non gaming) performance will purchase the 6950k.
