Intel Core i7-6700K desktop processor

This desktop CPU processor is built for enthusiasts who want an unlocked multiplier for overclocking. It targets system builders assembling a high-performance PC for gaming or content creation.

Suits overclockers and DIY builders

Overclockers and DIY builders gain headroom from the unlocked design. Users needing a locked, lower-power chip or an integrated platform without a discrete graphics card should look at something else.

Unlocked multiplier for overclocking

The defining specification is the unlocked multiplier that allows manual frequency scaling. This single feature decides whether the processor matches a build focused on manual tuning and maximum single-thread speed.
