 Here is the detailed information and compatible motherboard chipsets for the Intel Core i5-6600 processor, presented entirely in English text without any tables.Processor OverviewThe Intel Core i5-6600 is a 6th-generation desktop processor based on the Skylake architecture, officially launched in late 2015.Unlike the "F" series processors, the i5-6600 includes integrated graphics (Intel HD Graphics 530). This means you do not strictly need a dedicated graphics card to use your computer; you can plug your monitor directly into the motherboard video ports for display output. Additionally, because this model does not have a "K" suffix, it is a locked processor, meaning it does not support CPU overclocking.Detailed SpecificationsCores and Threads: It features 4 physical cores and 4 threads. It does not support Intel Hyper-Threading technology.Clock Speeds: The processor operates at a base frequency of $3.30\text{ GHz}$ and can reach a maximum turbo frequency of $3.90\text{ GHz}$ under heavy workloads.Cache: It comes equipped with $6\text{ MB}$ of Intel Smart Cache.Power Consumption: The Thermal Design Power (TDP) is rated at $65\text{ W}$, making it easy to cool with a standard stock cooler.Manufacturing Process: It is built on Intel's 14-nanometer lithography node.Memory Support: It features a flexible hybrid memory controller that supports both newer DDR4 memory (up to speeds of 2133 MHz) and older DDR3L memory (up to speeds of 1600 MHz at 1.35V). It supports a maximum capacity of $64\text{ GB}$ in a dual-channel configuration.Motherboard and Chipset CompatibilityThe Intel Core i5-6600 uses the LGA 1151 socket (specifically LGA 1151 revision 1).⚠️ Important Compatibility Warning: Although it shares the "LGA 1151" name with 8th and 9th-generation processors, the i5-6600 is only compatible with Intel 100-series and 200-series chipsets. It will not work on newer 300-series motherboards (such as H310, B360, B365, or Z390).The supported motherboard chipsets are categorized below:Intel 100-Series Chipsets (Native / Out-of-the-Box)These chipsets were launched alongside the 6th-generation Skylake processors and will support the i5-6600 natively without needing any BIOS updates.H110 (Entry-Level / Budget): Ideal for basic office computers or budget builds. It generally limits users to 2 RAM slots, fewer high-speed USB ports, and fewer PCIe lanes.B150 (Mainstream / Business): The standard choice for general consumers and gaming builds. It offers better expansion options and more USB ports than the H110.H170 (Premium Mainstream): Offers enhanced connectivity, more PCIe lanes for fast M.2 NVMe storage, and RAID support, without the cost of overclocking features.Z170 (Enthusiast / High-End): Although the i5-6600 cannot be overclocked, pairing it with a Z170 motherboard allows you to bypass the standard 2133 MHz RAM speed limit and run high-frequency DDR4 memory via Intel XMP profiles.Intel 200-Series Chipsets (Compatible via BIOS)These chipsets were released later for 7th-generation (Kaby Lake) CPUs, but they maintain backward compatibility with the 6th-gen i5-6600.B250, H270, and Z270: These motherboards fully support the i5-6600 and offer slight upgrades over the 100-series, such as native support for Intel Optane memory and extra PCIe lanes.Note: While most 200-series boards support 6th-gen chips out of the box, it is always recommended to ensure the motherboard has a compatible BIOS version installed.Intel Core i5-6600 specificationsGeneral informationTypeCPU / MicroprocessorMarket segmentDesktopFamilyIntel Core i5Model number ? i5-6600CPU part numbersCM8066201920401is an OEM/tray microprocessorBX80662I56600is a boxed processor with fan and heatsink (English version)BXC80662I56600is a boxed processor with fan and heatsink (Chinese version)Frequency ? 3300 MHzMaximum turbo frequency3900 MHz (1 core)3800 MHz (2 cores)3700 MHz (3 cores)3600 MHz (4 cores)Bus speed ? 8 GT/s DMIClock multiplier ? 33Package1151-land Flip-Chip Land Grid ArraySocketSocket 1151 / H4 / LGA1151Size1.48" x 1.48" / 3.75cm x 3.75cmWeight1.1oz / 30.1g (CPU)10.5oz / 296.3g (box)Fan/heatsinkE97379-001Introduction dateSeptember 1, 2015 (announcement)September 1, 2015 (availability in Asia)September 27, 2015 (availability elsewhere)Price at introduction$213 (OEM)$224 (box)S-spec numbersPart numberES/QS processorsProduction processorsQJEESR2BWSR2L5BX80662I56600++BXC80662I56600++CM8066201920401++Unknown+Architecture / MicroarchitectureMicroarchitectureSkylakeProcessor core ? Skylake-SCore stepping ? R0 (SR2BW, SR2L5)CPUID506E3 (SR2BW, SR2L5)Manufacturing process0.014 micronData width64 bitThe number of CPU cores4The number of threads4Floating Point UnitIntegratedLevel 1 cache size ? 4 x 32 KB 8-way set associative instruction caches4 x 32 KB 8-way set associative data cachesLevel 2 cache size ? 4 x 256 KB 4-way set associative cachesLevel 3 cache size6 MB 12-way set associative shared cachePhysical memory64 GBMultiprocessingUniprocessorExtensions and TechnologiesMMX instructionsSSE / Streaming SIMD ExtensionsSSE2 / Streaming SIMD Extensions 2SSE3 / Streaming SIMD Extensions 3SSSE3 / Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3SSE4 / SSE4.1 + SSE4.2 / Streaming SIMD Extensions 4 ? AES / Advanced Encryption Standard instructionsAVX / Advanced Vector ExtensionsAVX2 / Advanced Vector Extensions 2.0BMI / BMI1 + BMI2 / Bit Manipulation instructionsF16C / 16-bit Floating-Point conversion instructionsFMA3 / 3-operand Fused Multiply-Add instructionsEM64T / Extended Memory 64 technology / Intel 64 ? NX / XD / Execute disable bit ? VT-x / Virtualization technology ? VT-d / Virtualization for directed I/OTBT 2.0 / Turbo Boost technology 2.0 ? TXT / Trusted Execution technologyTSX / Transactional Synchronization ExtensionsMPX / Memory Protection ExtensionsSGX / Software Guard ExtensionsSMAP / Supervisor Mode Access PreventionSMEP / Secure Mode Execution ProtectionLow power featuresEnhanced SpeedStep technology ? Integrated peripherals / componentsDisplay controller3 displaysIntegrated graphicsGPU Type: HD 530Graphics tier: GT2Microarchitecture: Gen 9Execution units: 24Base frequency (MHz): 350Maximum frequency (MHz): 1150Memory controllerThe number of controllers: 1Memory channels: 2Supported memory: DDR3L-1333, DDR3L-1600, DDR4-1866, DDR4-2133DIMMs per channel: 2Maximum memory bandwidth (GB/s): 34.1Other peripheralsDirect Media Interface 3.0PCI Express 3.0 interface (16 lanes)Electrical / Thermal parametersThermal Design Power ? 65 Watt
