So I noticed these new CPUs on Newegg and was wondering if they had the same unlocked BCLK as the 6700K and 6600K? So that's my first question, if the answer is no then ignore the rest.
If the BCLK can be brought up to ~200MHz then getting from the 2.7GHz stock clock to 4.5GHz-5GHz+ is possible and technically you have an i5-6600 for $200, like in the olden days.
There doesn't seem to be a HT version of this CPU though so having a 6700 for ~$200 is not a thing which is too bad. It looks like the only reason to buy a "K" version would be to make overclocking easier? Do the K versions still have the overclocking warranty?
