Retro review: Core i7 2600K Tested in 2018 - Time to upgrade?
We'll look at Core i7 2600K Sandy Bridge processor performance in the year 2018, but also look at game performance and things like platform performance in the form of USB and SATA performance from a product series released back in 2011 (!).
You can read the review right here.

Nice Review Hilbert.
I'm still running the 2500K and at 4.7GHz not having issues at all. Offcourse some games do stutter sometime but nothing big. Good to see this chip is a great oldie that can still come along in games.

Nice. I'd love to see one of those with the Core i7 3930K or 3960X Sandy Bridge E (including 4-4.5GHz overclock) as well. I somehow doubt it's worth an upgrade right now, especially when taking the high prices into account.

Does there really exist people that use 2600k at stock clocks? What's the point of review? Let's make strawpoll and ask 2600k owners at what clocks do they use this CPU. I think 90% of users would use it under OC conditions.
And where is more processor oriented games like BF1 etc. ?
MAX and LOW FPS? ..

Thx man.
I'm still fine with my 2500k @4.5 and a 1060.
