Core i7 5960X - 5930K and 5820K processor review




We review the Core i7 5960X (Haswell-E) 8 core processor and 6-core 5930K and 5820K processors, we smack it on one of the long awaited X99 motherboards. Intel's most high-end processor SKUs just got updated with three new models, the top dog being the enthusiast class eight-core processor series aimed at enthusiasts and pro-consumers. The Intel Core i7-5960X and other Haswell-E chips are released into the market in September 2014 and are based on the new socket LGA2011-V3 infrastructure and DDR4 quad channel memory.

I can't, dont have the chip its in SouthAfrica atm lol and from what I saw IBT is not ok for Haswells, tooo hot.
5ghz needs a hefty 1.475v, so its not the best looking Haswell refresh. But a free trade sounds nice, will see with postage, if its 60€+ then no go. Might as well save up extra 40 and buy 280L H2o cooler and lower that temp gap
Sorry for offtopic
Test that CPU with IntelBurn test at 4.9GHz max memory and see how long the test last with that voltage.

Damm Amd just got Smashed! 8 cores 16 threads if only it didnt cost $1000 dollars! But even the 6 core 12 thread is more then enough, iam going to start saving for a system like this.

Man that 5820K is looking really tasty!!! And that DDR4 memory, so sweet! And i really need a new system...
I need more MB reviews and some OC results on that 5820K to make up my mind.
Great review as always!
