Is stock availability still an issue? Seriously? Why are these so popular when its not much of an improvement over 4790k?
Lol the 6320 has an eta of 11/13/15 but lol at the price, 205.00 shipped. Got to love the amazon market place...

3.9 ghz skylake i3 vs 3.2 ghz haswell i5 will be an interesting bench in games.
Looks like even the i3-6100 = i5-2500k...

Cant wait to see some more reviews. Looks like the 6100 may be the new budget gaming build king for a while. Only down side is looks like for now you have to go with a higher end motherboard(Z170) vs (H170) to run the faster ram. Hopefully they bring more ram support to the H170 chipset.
Damn I just got parts to build an i5 6500 system on a H170 motherboard. Had no idea the RAM speed made such a big difference based on other reviews I read. Now I am sending this H170 board back to get a Z170 board and use the DDR4 2666 RAM I already have instead of being neutered by 2133 speeds on a H170![]()
MSI has 2 H170 boards that support higher clocked RAM
MSI H170A PC Mate
and
MSI H170 Gaming M3
Did they release a bios update or something that im not seeing because both of them are only listed as 2133 support:

Looks like newegg lists them with more support. Not sure which one is correct just yet. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130885
... Ok just read the Manual for the board and it only states 2133 support.
Yes the QVL shows support for memory at 2400

Clear as mud, I guess I have to agree that if you want 2666 memory it would be best to go z170.
