Intel Core i5-6600 Processor (6M Cache, up to 3.90 GHz) Benchmark Results — All GPU Pairings Tested
Intel Core i5-6600 Processor (6M Cache, up to 3.90 GHz) has been stress-tested in 2 distinct GPU pairings from 6 verified browser samples, with a sample-weighted Sustained Health Score of 61.5/100 (grade C). The strongest measured pairing is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB at 63/100; the weakest is Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 at 60/100. Typical sustained-load decay is 0% with thermal health around 94/100.
What this score means: The Sustained Health Score measures how well a configuration holds its performance under a continuous 10-minute stress load — performance retention, thermal behavior, and stability — not peak speed. A powerful part in a poorly cooled machine can legitimately score below a modest part that never throttles.
