Questions about Core i7 6900K

The i7 6850 is currently on sale in limited quantities. :)

This depends very much on the budget, as the two CPUs are not in the same league. For VR, 90% of the graphics card is required, even old CPUs can still lead to a good result. Furthermore, it depends on the optimisation of the respective game (unfortunately, many games do not use the additional cores). For a normal gamer PC, I would tend towards a 7700k and spend the money saved on a gtx 1080. However,

I use the Corsair Hydro H110i on my I7 5960X 8 Core XMP 2.0 Activated clock 3.577 Ghz FSB 105 at idle at 26c room temp 32-36c at load 48c and at 30Min Prime95 55-60c.

The MasterLiquid Pro 240 works on every socket so also for the 2011v3 ^^

now have the Intel Core i7 6950X (LGA 2011-v3, 3GHz, Unlocked) ready for pickup ordered with the ASUS RAMPAGE V EDITION 10 (LGA 2011-v3, Intel X99, E-ATX)
