Hi guys,
For the first time, I am building my own PC and I am enjoying it. However, without help from this forum, things would have been very difficult until now. Thanks to experts here, I managed to get excellent guidance up to now.
I am having a new issue, regarding the CPU. I have not yet bought it. I actually have only the CPU which remains to be bought. I went to an IT retailer to get my Core i5 6500 today but there was something that bothered me:
When I looked on the net before going to the retailer, I saw that the S-spec of the Core i5 6500 is SR2BX. However, when I looked on the box of the Core i5 6500 which the guy is selling at the IT shop, the S-spec of the Core i5 6500 SR2L6. Everything else is OK. I thus returned home without buying the CPU since I had doubts.
I searched on google, the difference between SR2BX and SR2L6 for the CPU S-spec and the it had to do with the stepping of the CPU. I do not really understand hell in this. Maybe someone here can guide me.
All I want to know is whether this Core i5 6500 CPU with the S-spec of SR2L6, is good for my build? Will it be as good as that with the S-spec of SR2BX?
Also, is it a pre-production, engineering sample CPU? If this is the case, I better stay far away from this...
Any inputs are the most welcome.
Kindest Regards
