    Be reminded, Xeon E3-1230 v5 is not compatible with 100 series chipset, i.e. Z170/H170/B150/H110.

    Xeon E3-1230 v5 only works on motherboards with C232/C236 chipset.

      Thanks for noting that. This should inform people before buying.

    • Rail Rider95 on 25/03/2016 - 23:31

      That's peculiar. I wonder why they've decided to change it when the same chip number from 1150 was compatible with standard motherboards

      • Merlict on 25/03/2016 - 23:49

        I feel it was a deliberate move to keep 'consumers' from getting cheap 4 cores with hyperthreading

          Wouldn't surprise me tbh
          Intel are rather like nvidia. Always trying to screw over the end user

      Starting to see more enthusiast PC-focused C232/C236 boards lately (Gigabyte recently introduced a bunch). Unfortunately, they typically omit ECC support, which is one of the Xeon's appealing features, but the GA-X150M-PRO ECC is an exception. Pity it hasn't shown up in Australia.

      • burningrage on 26/03/2016 - 08:54

        They do?

        http://www.gigabyte.com.au/products/product-page.aspx?pid=57…

        Having said that? Would you recommend Xeon over I7 6400? I like Xeon machines but don't know why. I am so used to thinking Xeon as server grade processor.

        • Jabba the Hutt on 26/03/2016 - 09:46

          From what I've read in the news, Xeons started to become popular in the enthusiast PC space mainly due to a price advantage (Xeons were cheaper than the equivalent Core i7) rather than Xeon-specific features.

          But if you're big on stability and data integrity, the ECC support may appeal. It also requires a board that supports ECC, plus ECC RAM (expensive compared to non-ECC RAM, but not as costly as it used to be in absolute terms, given the recent price falls in RAM).

        • burningrage on 26/03/2016 - 10:25

          @Jabba the Hutt:

          Awesome! Thanks for deciphering this for me.

          I am watching that motherboard GA-X150M-PRO ECC closely because of this thread… :-)

    that's ridiculously low for the 6700k. ($500 elsewhere, besides Kogan)

    • Merlict on 25/03/2016 - 23:48

      This isn't the K model

      • Sage on 25/03/2016 - 23:49

        Oh my mistake. Excuse me.
        I would recommend the 6700k model though as it's good for overclocking. (4.7ghz minimum)
        No wonder it's cheaper.

      • Godric on 26/03/2016 - 16:30

        the K model is going for $372 now though

    should i go for 6700 or 6700k, i don't know how to overclock and not going to anymore

    • lucksmith on 26/03/2016 - 00:05

      6700 then.

    • RI4V4N on 26/03/2016 - 08:04

      The 6700k is still a bit better even if your not going to do any custom overclocking.

      • IceCreamBandit on 26/03/2016 - 08:32
        +3

        There's about a ~10% speed increase but you'd have to buy a heatsink if you bought the K where as the 6700 comes with one. If imahapyboy has no interest in overclocking, they might as well just get the 6700 unless that ~10% difference is deemed necessary.

        • imahapyboy on 26/03/2016 - 10:07

          sounds like 6700 is more suitable for me~ thanks mate!

      • fattyboombatty on 26/03/2016 - 09:37

        will probably have better resale value too if that is a consideration

  • grab_ur_freebies on 26/03/2016 - 00:14

    Curious as to anyone who can shed some light on whether 'non K' series are still unofficially OC'able with a mobo with older BIOS/firmware?

    • jzdhgkd on 26/03/2016 - 00:57

      Probably luck of the draw whether or not the mobo manufacturer ships it with the most up-to-date bios version.

      IIRC ASRock were the first to block bclk ocing (despite being the first to advertise it)

      • grab_ur_freebies on 26/03/2016 - 01:16

        Yeah, I guess you'd need to be lucky to get one with old stock for it to be possible. Any way to flash over the newer BIOS rev.?

        • O O on 26/03/2016 - 04:51
          +1

          Later on, ASRock introduces 2 new motherboards (Fatal1ty H170 Performance/Hyper and Fatal1ty B150 Gaming K4/Hyper) to cirucmvent Intel's microcode update. Details' here. The new motherboards use external clock generator instead of simple BIOS tweaking to BCLK overclocking non-K CPU.

        • grab_ur_freebies on 26/03/2016 - 04:59

          @O O:
          Hmm interesting, if this is successful I hope they release an ITX ver. Noticed it doesn't require Z series chipsets either.

        • O O on 26/03/2016 - 13:38

          @grab_ur_freebies: FYI, here is a list of Non-K Overclocking BIOS.

  • hippyhippy on 26/03/2016 - 01:58

    So the 6700 runs exacting the same and is exactly the same cpu as the 6700k at the same speed?

  • jiberz on 26/03/2016 - 09:31

    Only the I3 has stock now

    • grab_ur_freebies on 26/03/2016 - 13:47

      All back in stock as @1:42pm.

      • jiberz on 26/03/2016 - 14:51

        Thanks, picked up an i7 and mobo. Their ram is pretty over priced though.

  • grab_ur_freebies on 26/03/2016 - 14:34

    An OC'ed 6500 can hold its own vs 6700K. Almost same performance, but at ~60% of the price of 6700K. Great for a value for money gaming build & those on a strict budget & would rather spend the cash saved to go to other parts.

    • O O on 26/03/2016 - 14:41

      I think 6400 is the best candidate for BCLK overclocking due to it's low multiplier.

  • Munnsy on 26/03/2016 - 14:47

    6600K back in stock as well for $246.85.

    • grab_ur_freebies on 26/03/2016 - 14:57

      Thanks. Added to list.

      Now that it's available, would recommend the 6600K now for official OC'ing flexibility & peace of mind.

      • Carbon Door on 26/03/2016 - 15:35

        damn it. i bought the 6600k last week and it dropped anther 32 dollars ARGHHHH

  • LiMaaa on 26/03/2016 - 15:23

    This kind of deal a "jump at it now" thing or can we expect to see similiar deals / price drops in the near future for the i7 6700?

  • pookie on 26/03/2016 - 15:40

    Hi,

    I just bought the 6700k CPU to go with a few other bits I have bought for a mid range gaming desktop.

    Now I need a motherboard…is this one ok: ASUS Z170-AR Motherboard $230 ?

    I have the following on its way to me:

    • 4 * 8MB LTX DDR4 ram modules
    • 256GB SSD
    • GeForce 980 TI Video Card

    Cheers

    Pookie

    • LiMaaa on 26/03/2016 - 15:45

      May want to upgrade that 8mb ram to 8gb. ;)

      • pookie on 26/03/2016 - 15:49

        My bad :)

        Thanks

        Can't see how to edit the post… but yes it should read as 8gb, not 8mb.

        Cheers

  • sweefu on 26/03/2016 - 16:37

    I'm building a system for photoshop & 4K video editing.

    Could someone advise which CPU is best?

    • grab_ur_freebies on 26/03/2016 - 16:53

      Best one in the list that fits under your budget. If money is no problem, the 6700K.
      The higher clock & multi-core support in editing suites nowadays reduces processing/encoding times.

    I was personally torn between the 6600K & non-K 6700 until I did some calculations. Ultimately went with i7-6700 because:

    6600K vs. 6700

    • CPU cooler incl w/ 6700 vs. buying separate fan/liquid cooler for 6600K. The 6600K+reputable cooler adds up to more or less the price of 6700 w/ stock fan.
    • Lower TDP: 6700 (65W) vs. 6600K (91W). ie- Less heat & power/electricity usage, runs cooler, higher power/perf:lower cost ratio
    • Larger L3 cache: 6700 (8MB) vs. 6600K (6MB)
    • More threads: 6700 (8x) vs. 6600K (4x)
    • Performance: 6700 faster on stock speed vs. 6600K on OC'd speeds

    6700 vs. 6700K

    • 6700 is $42 cheaper than 6700K
    • I can use BCLK OC on 6700 in future to get upto/over 6700K performance.

    CPU wise, should future-proof me for a good 4-6yrs w/o an upgrade. Upgrading from a Q8200 ('08)! Will be a HUGE worlds apart increase in perf. :O

  • songford on 26/03/2016 - 20:17

    Thanks for posting OP! Picked up an i5-6400 for myself. Really thrilled to see it coming in a fortnight or so.
