Massive laptop™

Just need to get an ultrabay and an express card to usb 3.

i currently have i5 2500k OC to 4.0 Ghz and i am given an i5 6400 with motherboard, should i replace my mobo and cpu with the i5 6400?

yes

but isnt it slower?

clock speed and cores =/= speed

You got MIPS too

but the i5 6400 is the lowest end i5 of the skylake

and a 2500k is from what generation...?

wait

hold up

oh the 6400 is shit nvm

Just compare some benchmarks.

I dunno.

You will not be able to OC the 6400 btw... so there you go.

2500k is dated, but the 6400 underperforms...

really it comes down to do you wanna eventually make use of skylake stuff?

idk maybe keep the lga1151 mobo and get a better cpu or wait for zen

what ever happened to skylake crashing at high loads?

I seriously never even heard of that issue..

me neither

I first heard of it as soon as my father got a skylake

This is my shitty list of goals to migrate to a new PC from my current hunk of junk.
