Tray i7-6700K without cooler

This desktop processor is an Intel Core i7-6700K supplied as a tray unit with no heatsink or fan included. It fits the LGA 1151 socket and operates at a 91 W TDP. The quad-core chip runs at 4.00 GHz base frequency with a 4.20 GHz max turbo frequency. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 provides display output without a discrete card.

System builders needing separate cooling

The tray packaging suits builders who already own a compatible cooler or plan to buy one separately. It is not a retail boxed product, so no stock cooler, manual or warranty paperwork is supplied. Users wanting a ready-to-install package with a bundled fan should choose a boxed variant instead. Overclocking requires a Z-series motherboard and adequate aftermarket cooling.

8 MB SmartCache and dual-channel memory

The processor includes 8 MB of SmartCache and supports up to 64 GB across two memory channels. Compatible memory types are DDR4-1866/2133 and DDR3L-1333/1600 at 1.35 V. Maximum memory bandwidth reaches 34.1 GB/s. This cache and memory configuration determines multitasking throughput and responsiveness for typical desktop workloads.

Questions about this item

What LGA 1151 socket cooler clearance do I need for the i7-6700K?

The processor fits any LGA 1151 socket. You must supply a cooler rated for at least 91 W TDP; the tray package includes no heatsink or fan.

Which installation step is most often missed with a tray i7-6700K?

Applying thermal paste between the CPU heatspreader and your cooler base is essential because no pre-applied compound or cooler is included.

When will the thermal paste on an i7-6700K need replacement?

Plan to re-paste every few years or whenever you reseat the cooler; the CPU itself has no user-serviceable parts.
