Question 1

Is this a non-K processor? Just want to make sure.

Accepted Answer

Thanks for your answers! I'm looking forward to building my very first computer. I'm using this Cpu with the Asus B250M-Plus motherboard. I'm using this primary for doing video uploading editing, multi tasking etc  just to name a few. Not too high on gaming on computers but I'm sure this will work with that too if needed.

Question 2

Would this be a better choice than the i5 6600k? No overclocking. 6600k is cheaper.

Accepted Answer

I guess the main question I have for you is why wouldn't you just get the 6600 then if you're not going to overclock. A 6600k not overclocked is the same as a 6600, and you'd get a free stock heatsink with the 6600. Then the 6600 is $10 less than the 7600.

The big difference I've heard for 7th gen from 6th gen is some optimization on operations and power efficiency. It's not a true upgrade to 6th gen compared to past generations. So is it worth the $10? For me, that's not a huge cost for having the satisfying "newest" label on my computer so I'd go for it.

Question 3

Does this work with H170 motherboard?

Accepted Answer

It will as long as it has the supported updated BIOS... for out of box support for the 7000 series get the 200 series motherboards... without knowing which H170 board it's hard to say if it supports.... check out the manufacturer MSI, ASUS, GIGABYTE ASROCK  etc... for the full model look like . (H170-d3h) type that into the support and check to see cpu support for the specific motherboard

Question 4

Is this faster than a Core i5 6600?

Accepted Answer

The i5-7600 is only marginally faster than an i5-6600. Benchmarks put it around ~10% faster.  But it does include new features, such as much-improved 4k video (HEVC and VP9) decoding.  I built a new media center PC using this CPU because of that - no need for an add-in video card.

Question 5

Can I take out my pentuim in my B250 pc mate board and put in this processor without having to reinstall windows?

Accepted Answer

No idea if that board supports this cpu.  You have to check the supported CPUs from the manufacturer website for that model.   Mobo may need a bios update as well.

No need to reinstall Windows. If just dropping in a new CPU.

Question 6

will the stock cooler fit on a b250m mini motherboard ?

Accepted Answer

I can't speak to that specific motherboard but I will say the stock cooler is probably the smallest non-water-block solution you'll find.

Question 7

Does the K version include a heatsink/fan?

Accepted Answer

For now on K Series CPU from Intel will always NOT have a Heatsink/Fan (Cooler), because Intel believe you will have your own Cooler for overclocking since that is a Overclocking CPU.

Question 8

Turbo speed is 4.1, on one core, 4.0 on two cores, and 3.9ghz on all 4 cores? Is this right?

Accepted Answer

I dont know the turbo speeds exactly for two cores, but yes it is 4.1ghz for single core, and 3.9ghz for all four cores.

Question 9

Does it come with a stock cooler?

Accepted Answer

Non K-Series Intel CPU will have Cooler (HEATSINK & FAN ) The newegg Web People should add that info on there too.

Question 10

is it compatible with z170?

Accepted Answer

You need to check your motherboard manufacturer to see if they have a BIOS update specific to Kaby Lake.
