Suits builders needing an eight-core Broadwell E CPU

This processor suits builders who need an eight-core Broadwell E CPU for an FCLGA2011-3 platform. It is not for buyers who require a manufacturer warranty, integrated graphics, or a brand-new sealed unit. It is also not for systems that use a different socket or memory configuration.

Socket FCLGA2011-3 determines fit

The single specification that decides compatibility is the FCLGA2011-3 socket. Only motherboards with this exact socket can accept the processor. No other socket will work, so verifying the motherboard socket is essential before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the i7-6900K fit my existing FCLGA2011-3 motherboard without a BIOS update?

The SR2PB uses the FCLGA2011-3 socket. Compatibility depends on your board's BIOS revision; check the vendor's CPU support list for the 6900K before installing.

How can I verify the 3.20 GHz base clock and 8-core 16-thread configuration after installation?

Open Task Manager or CPU-Z; the processor should show 8 cores, 16 threads, and a base frequency of 3.20 GHz with turbo up to 3.70 GHz.

Does the package include a cooler or thermal paste, or must I supply them?

Package contents list CPU only; you must provide a compatible FCLGA2011-3 cooler and thermal interface material separately.
