You can Now sort of grab a i7 6700 And a i7 6700K for 6k from aliexpress.

Before you buy,

these are engineering samples from Intel,
these Dont work on z270 platform
if one can find a cheap Skylake board than i suppose this will be one hell of a beast.

QHQG are the safest processors,

QH8F is i7 6700K selling for 6K, but little less stable,

Get yourself an EK supremacy to be completely safe

As much as I would like to buy them, I just want to say that there are inherent risks to buying ES "engineering samples", mainly with respect to the life, and other possible issues. Most of the time, stuff will be stable, but after looking at the Avoton bug, I would like to stay away

Also, it is unethical/illegal to buy these as these are meant for testing, and are technically the alpha and beta versions.
 
okay I did some research on these in the past 2 days, A large number of people have brought and Bench'd these on Overclock.Net (its a very Old Forum site, and has a Lot of in depth Info and guides you wont find anywhere else)

These work with Certain motherboards, These are underclocked by default but you can overclock these as much as a stock processor, its BCLK locked so you will need specific motherboard for overclocking,

Asrock pro4s Motherboard with 3.0.0 bios version is confirmed to work.
 
This is waste of TIME
Aliexprees took nearly 2 moths to deliver chip to me and i have invested like 3-4 days to oc and other stuff :(
Dont buy this at all
