Anyone using a PC build with Skylake?

Post by PoliticalBonobo »

I'm right in the awkward spot of needing to build a new PC workstation. I haven't seen a lot of composers or producers reporting on how certain Skylake and motherboard configurations are working.

Anyone test one yet?

I've got a PC build a year or two old with an Ivy Bridge i5 and it's been working great for me. I can't imagine any reason a newer architecture would cause any problems, so I'd say go for it.
