Seriously, I've had my 2600k at 4.6Ghz since launch week, and it's been crazy rock solid.

Can anyone explain why the resell values for the I7 2600k seem to still have such a high value?! I was really surprised when I looked on Ebay ...
Old post - but same here... mines been 4.6 since the day I got it.
My 2600k has been solid for the past 4 years @ 4.6ghz. I remember purchasing all the hardware at Frys. They had a sale for a P67 board and the i7 that I paid little over $500 for the MSI P67-GD65-B3, the 2600k and 8GB of Corsair DDR3-1600.
My P67 has seen so many video card setups in those past 4 years... 4890, GTX 560ti SLI, GTX 680 and finally my EVGA GTX 970 reference.
I didn't expect my 2600K to last me this long, either. Sad, because I really like upgrading. Just nothing that is cost effective for me to upgrade right now.... :/
Nothing cost effective and no huge jump. The competition is lacking and causing stagnation. I hope Skylake will be a good upgrade.
Is the lack of competition really causing stagnation, though? I don't do much outside of gaming, maybe some Handbrake every once in a while - but with DX12 on the horizon - even less emphasis is going to be put on CPU horsepower. CPU simply has not bottlenecked GPUs for a long while, now at most enthusiast levels - especially considering overclocks.
I have been doing some upgrading and was going to sell my 2600k, but it overclocks so well that I just decided to upgrade to a z77 sabertooth I found for $100. My old asrock p67 B2 was not getting it done anymore.
Hopefully the 6700k @ 5.2 leak is real, but I still wouldn't think $500-600 is worth .4Ghz
I just recently upgraded/downgraded? 3570K to 2600K. 2600K is a beast, runs a heck of a lot cooler at the same clock + needs less voltage.
