Model overview based on user reviews
The Intel Core i7 Skylake is a reliable processor, praised for its flawless performance and low operating temperatures. Users appreciate its ability to effortlessly run modern games and maintain stability over long periods. However, some reviews mention potential temperature issues, noting that it can reach 60-70 degrees after extended use, and suggest improvements like applying thermal paste properly or using liquid metal for better cooling. While some find it expensive, especially compared to newer models like Ryzen, others are satisfied with its performance, especially for those building used systems. Overall, it holds up well over time, with users reporting consistent performance even after several years.

I don't even know what to nitpick about here. Unless with the release of the 10th generation, these have become unnecessary. Perhaps only for assembling a used build. Other than that, I'm very satisfied with the processor. It’s what I expected, even more. I don't know what they're talking about with those 90 degrees after a year. There's nothing like that, the processor works 10-12 hours a day in programs, 3-4 of those hours in games. And it's been like this for 4 years. There’s been nothing close to 90 degrees. Even in a stress test, it showed 60 degrees. Works flawlessly. Low temperatures. No  Alexander Andrusik: use Intel i7-6700 BOX more than year |
Effortlessly runs all modern games In half a year, expect 60-70 degrees on the desktop, and after two years of active use, expect 80 degrees in a pixel game.  LimonPardon : use Intel i7-6700 OEM more than year |
UNCAPABLE PROCESSOR for overprice title 14nm gum under the lid (temperature up to 90), expensive, only 4 cores, THERE'S NO POINT IN I7 SKYLAKE FOR 20K WHEN THERE'S RYZEN |

Mass market leader
The Intel Core i7-6700 is the most powerful mass-market processor (LGA1151 platform), if you don't take into account its more expensive counterpart 6700K, which differs only in a slightly increased frequency and an unlocked multiplier. And the Intel LGA2011-v3 platform still belongs to highly specialized, not mass solutions.
Skylake in all its glory
The Core i7-6700 delivers top performance with the latest Skylake architecture, four physical cores and eight Hyper-Threading threads. The nominal clock frequency is 3.4 GHz, but most of the time the processor runs at Turbo Boost 3.7 GHz, and when loaded on one core, it accelerates to 4 GHz. Manual overclocking is not provided, but with such a high auto overclocking, it is not required.
For maximalists
Before shelling out $350 for a Core i7-6700, you need to clearly answer yourself whether your tasks really need such a powerful and expensive processor, or perhaps you can get by with a cheaper option (Core i3, i5, AMD FX-8000). For professional video editing, the i7-6700 is only needed if you are confident that it will pay off over time. And for a gaming PC, it makes sense to buy it only in a pair of GeForce GTX 980 Ti, GTX 1070, GTX 1080 video cards and bundles of two NVIDIA SLi or AMD CrossFireX video cards. Well, or you just want to build a computer from the most powerful components at the moment, which will not need to be upgraded for many years.
