Hi,
In the past months I've been trying to put together a new PC to retire my old Q6600.
Bought the parts and now I'm down to the CPU.

So, I can get both the i5-6600 and the i5-7600 for the same price but I've read around that Win7 isn't compatible with the new Kaby Lake and the changes aren't all that great.
I can live with Windows 10 but if I have to choose, I would go with Windows 7.
This, mixed with the fact that the changes between Skylake and Kaby Lake are not so big, makes me wonder.

what should I buy?
>>
Just get the 6600
>>
Just get the 7600
>>
>>58644958
just get the 8600
>>
Wait for the 9600.
>>
>>58644958
If you plan on keeping for several years, something will force you to go w10 sooner or later anyway
>>
>>58645044
This. Windows 7 is on borrowed time no matter how you look at it. It only has three more years of security updates, after that every new windows 10 update is a zero day exploit for windows 7.
>>
>>58644958
Just buy the Kaby Lake version and use Win10. Since Win7 supports will end anyway.
>>
>>58644958
It doesnt matter.
>sky
100% performance
Does what u want in old and new mobos with any os.
>kaby
101% performance
Old mobos needs bios upgrade. W7 works with it fine. The only feature is netflix refusing to go over 720p if you dont use edge + w10 + kaby combo. And only reason this exists is because ms and netflix are jews.

So if it costs the same, go for the 1% increase. Thank monopoly for that.

>w10 sooner or later
And this is the reason why you want to make sure your new hardware is capable of gpu passthrough and proper emulation.

wait whaa?

this some DRM bullshit or like using a new instruction?
>>
>>58644958
how about the i3 7350k?
>>
>>58644958
FX 8350!!!
LOL JK
>>
>>58645149
ik the joke there but still right now is the worst time to buy am3 since ryzen is on the way and intel is shitting out CPU's like bricks
>>
Alright, it makes sense

>And this is the reason why you want to make sure your new hardware is capable of gpu passthrough and proper emulation.
This is something I've wanted to do since I saw that Wendel video but since I need a lot of shit on Windows I have to give up on any linux distro.
>>
>>58644958
Post parts list.
>>
Sky.

Kaby overheats, requires Windows 10, new more expensive mobos, and barely outperforms Skylakes.

>>58646550

It's a common complaint.
>>
>>58646561
The Benchmarks I saw don't go higher than 70° under stress testing.
I'm talking about the non-unlocked i5.
>>
>>58645114
kaby has HDCP 2.2 DRM built into the chip. It's meant to stop people recording streams between the video card and doing screen capture.
>>
>>58644958
Kabylake if you're doing new build. Kaby IS compatible with Windows 7.
But be aware of this:
If you buy a 100-series motherboard instead of a 200-series YOU WILL NEED TO UPDATE THE BIOS USIG A SKYLAKE CPU
NEVER ASSUME THE MOTHERBOARD BIOS WILL BE UPDATED
Don't make the same mistake i made ;_;

I thought win10 shilling was a joke.
>its fucking real
>>
>>58646599
I can't really avoid it since that comes also along with the GPU.
>>58646699
Don't worry, I'm going to buy a z270 board so I won't have the same problem.
>>58646714
It's Microsoft forcing its users, they want to avoid another decade of supporting an old operating system like what happened with Windows XP.
Sad part is, Win10 is here to stay along with the awful UI and spyware.

WINDOWS 7 WILL NOT WORK ON KABY LAKE

Go find me the USB, xHCI drivers, and chipset.
Link them here. I'll wait, but you can't, because there are none.


WINDOWS 7 DOES NOT SUPPORT KABY LAKE
>>
>>58645080
It's clocked 5% at stock. It's just the IPC that's at 101%
>>
>>58648610
nigger, nearly none of 2015+ motherboards support Windows 7 installation through USB, even AMD chipsets are like that. Just get a dvd fag
>>
>>58649320
No you idiot, the drivers you use AFTER the installation. Go look up xhci and what it does.

This has NOTHING to do with installation
>>
>>58649410
also: at least with MSI, you CAN install through USB even, using their tool thingy.

Skylake isn't any more Windows 7 compatible than Kaby Lake is.

>>58650228
Yes it is it has drivers

>>58649925
No one gives a shit about how you install it

NO ONE HAS POSTED DRIVERS FOR KABY LAKE FOR W7

IT WON'T WORK
>>
how come the thread is still going? usually my threads die when I get my answer.
>>
>>58650490
I baited faggots over their belief that windows 7 would work on Kaby Lake
>>
>>58650463
Someone is going to make third party shit for it soon.
>>
>>58650558
Random Z170 and Z270 from my favorite brand:

https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/Z170-A/HelpDesk_Download/

https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/PRIME-Z270-A/HelpDesk_Download/

Scroll down and download your nonexisten drivers from W7 32bit to W10 64bit. Maybe if intel actualy release new architecture than w7 may become obsolete. Until then enjoy stable os.

Hello, this is Raje... er, I mean John, from Microsoft™ Tech Support. We here at Microsoft™ Tech Support would like to insist you move to Windows 10™ as it's far easier for the bo... er, sorry, the functionality of your home computer and life. Thank you.
