I was wondering how you made out with the chip.
Happy for you now 5.0 on just water
Honestly I think its a real novel idea,dont get me wrong I like to go down to the local microcenter and get a chip or two to bin every week(with a friend or strangers help because 1 per costumer deals)and can normally sell them rather fast if not what I want.,but seems pretty hassle free

Good luck with further testing Hilbert was a great read once again
oh and like I have said before I love the looks of that motherboard but still cant find one.

I don't know where to get one of these boards, but yours will do.
It will go perfectly with my new GALAX GTX 980 HOF's.
So, e-mail me and I'll see what arrangement we can come to.

Great cpu review. I wonder how it would perform in games that multithread such as Metro and BF4 or it won't matter since GPU may affect it?

I wish that site existed when I had to upgrade. Would be an awesome Arma game cpu due to single threaded performance requirements.

Thanks for the great review Hilbert. I've had quite a few people ask about 5820Ks- we will have some up for sale in a few days.
