Pros:

Great little chip.
I paired the i5-6600k with:
ASUS Z-170M-plus and GSkill 4x4gb DDR4 2800mhz.
Lapa AquaChanger 240

Changed the multiplier to 45 and selected the XMP profile. Everything works great. Peaks out at 80C with 1.348 volts with everything else set to auto. Probably could push this chip further, but I don't want to deal with any extra heat or voltage.

Cons:

Run a little hot.

Like other have said, with another die shrink comes more heat that is harder to dissipate. I will not dock this bad boy any since it clocked so easy to 4.5.

Overall Review:

Highly recommend. Everything just feel so snappy.
