Putting 6700k in 65w tdp mobo

Nsteele493 · Jan 9, 2017

So I have a micro atx hp mobo that came with skylake 6700 (non-k). mobo says 65w tdp. But i know that with turbo boost it actually violates tdp. So why not regularly violate tdp? I have my whole system liquid cooled so the processor would never reach high temps. Thoughts?

If you have the money to liquid cool your whole system why on earth are you using some OEM HP mobo?

To answer your question it will probably be okay, if you encounter an instability or overheating you should probably disable turbo boost, if the HP BIOS will even let you.

The voltage regulators may or may not be up to the task of continuously higher power draw. It might work fine, but what happened to the 6700 it came with?

Watercooling it was a waste of money. You realistically wont see any better performance if it does work, and you wont be OCing. Buying a 6700k would be even more money wasted.

i knew that was going to come up. Kind of weird situation where i got great parts for christmas (gtx 1080, ekwb setup and tower) so i did with what i had lmao

So you guys dont think i will get performance increase with 7700k? obvi with no overclock

Your concern is not that the CPU would get hotter, but that the motherboard components aren't meant for that kind of draw. When you have that system running under a fairly high load, it's going to be far above what the motherboards claims it likes. I wouldn't risk it at all.

dudio :

from the article you linked it showed the average usage is only about 4 watts more? I feel like that is a safe bet.

Versus a 6700? Certainly not enough for it to be worth the money, kaby lake performs nearly identical to skylake at the same clock speed.

thank you guys for all your help!

No..look at 6700 under heavy load

Ecky · Jan 9, 2017

dudio :

5-10w under load, according to that article. However, this might be enough. I'm leaning toward it being likely to work, but to be honest the difference between a 6700 and 6700K is so tiny it might disappear into background noise even in benchmarks, nevermind being able to notice it in real world use.

Why is this thread so confusing?
Original question was running a 6700 on a mobo rated at 65 watts tdp.
My link shows 6700 under heavy load at over 100 watts

Ecky · Jan 9, 2017

OP says the board originally had a 6700, and will have a 6700K instead and wants to know if that will be OK. The difference in the link provided shows 4-9w difference between the two.

Nsteele493 · Jan 9, 2017

Yeah I think I'm going to try the 7700k in my mobo for giggles. Will update everyone.

dudio · Jan 9, 2017

Ok, I understand now.. it's a science experiment.

Ecky · Jan 9, 2017

Although interesting in principle, even a 7700K at stock will probably be visually indistinguishable from the 6700 it replaced. Seems an expensive science experiment, but I suppose hobbies don't always have to make any financial sense.

Nsteele493 · Jan 9, 2017

Yes since I saw that the 6700 heavily violated the tdp I wanted to know whether I could put a k processor in and still have it work even though it's an OEM HP Mobo rated for 65 w. I will more than likely replace the Mobo afterwards
