What the Core i5-5675C is
The Core i5-5675C is one of two socketed Broadwell desktop parts on LGA 1150. Intel released it in May 2015 with four cores and four threads at 3.1 GHz base and 3.6 GHz turbo. Four megabytes of Smart Cache pair with 128 MB of eDRAM as L4. Processor base power is 65 W on 14 nm.
The eDRAM changes the feel. It feeds Iris Pro Graphics 6200 and speeds some memory bound work. Turbo reaches 3.6 GHz on one or two cores with 3.5 GHz on all four. The multiplier is unlocked on C suffix parts, so Z97 boards allow tuning where cooling permits.
Iris Pro Graphics 6200 from 300 MHz to 1100 MHz is the strongest desktop graphics of its generation. It plays older titles at 1080p without a card and accelerates video work. Buyers pick the 5675C where graphics must carry the system on an LGA 1150 board. It trails the i7-5775C by four threads and 2 MB of cache.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The 5675C fits LGA 1150 on Z97 and H97 with a BIOS that lists Broadwell C. Makers added support in 2015 updates, so early BIOS builds may not boot it. Check the board CPU support list and flash with a Haswell chip first where needed. Z97 unlocks the multiplier, H97 suits stock operation.
DDR3 boards are the only option, since LGA 1150 never moved to DDR4. The Socket vs chipset: what decides whether a CPU works guide covers chipset pairing. LGA 1151 boards never accept Broadwell C despite the close name.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
DDR3-1333 and 1600 in two channels to 32 GB is the official support. Matched pairs feed both cores and Iris Pro graphics. The eDRAM reduces pressure on main memory in graphics loads. Sixteen gigabytes covers gaming on integrated graphics with background apps.
PCIe 3.0 with 16 lanes from the CPU takes one graphics card at full width. Many 5675C builds skip discrete graphics because Iris Pro suffices. A mid range card fits where newer titles need help.
Cooling uses the 75 mm LGA 1150 mount from the CPU cooler compatibility by socket guide. The 65 W rating works with tower air coolers. Tune voltage carefully on Z97, since eDRAM adds heat beside the cores.
Upgrade paths
On the same socket the Intel Core i7-5775C adds Hyper-Threading with eight threads and 6 MB of cache at the same 65 W. The Intel Core i7-4790K offers Haswell clocks to 4.4 GHz with weaker HD 4600 graphics for cheaper used prices. Both share LGA 1150 boards where listed.
A move to Skylake needs a new board and DDR4. The 5675C holds the graphics crown for LGA 1150 where a socketed Broadwell must stay.
