'Bout time...

Subbed

 

Reserved for Tuesday / Wednesday or maybe Thursday if I'm busy

- 5960X
- 5820K
- X99 Killer
- G Skill 2666

 

it's still building at this point, i got the 5960x, does this count as valid? If not, i'll just do CPU-Z when i get the rig back.


Also, this thread will be GREAT for figuring out how to OC these things effectively. I know SB-E OCing, but nothing about Haswell. I heard LLC is different this time, that 1.2v is the tipping point if you don't want it to be too hot under cooling that's not custom water loop or phase change.Or at least that's what i've read so far.

 

Thanks for starting this

I should receive a 5960X on 9/3

 

Reserved for when my mobo gets here, 5960x owner.

 

I ordered a 5820k yesterday (launch day). I'm interested to see if they binned and overclock lower in general or if the reduced core count helps the chips overclocking at all. Either way we will have to wait for more people to get their hands on the chip.

I expect the whole range of Haswell-e parts to perform pretty similar to mainstream Haswell in terms of clocks.

 

I am really interested to see how the 5930K does with overclocking in comparison to the 5960X. I have a 5960X on the way, should be delivered Tuesday or Wednesday, but I am seriously considering not opening it right away until I see some overclocking reviews between the two. I have a month to return it if I want and I won't be completing my system until the 800 series cards are out from Nvidia anyway.

From what ASUS JJ has been saying in interviews he expects the typical 5930k to get 100-200Mhz more than your average 5960x... But of course silicone lottery and all that stuff.

Yeah, I've seen that a few places. Is that because the 5960 is actually underclocked a bit to keep the TDP down? Just wondering, since the 30 is .5 higher - are they suggesting that the 60 might go to, just to toss a number 4.5, whereas the 30 would go to 5.1-5.2? or more like 4.6-7? Just wondering if the "100-200 more" is relative or absolute.

 

Nice one. Will add mine at some point in the week

 

Wow a 5820k + cheapest 2011-3 mobo at microcenter only comes to 536 bucks after tax! I have never considered building a 2011 rig cause of costs, but that is only 100 dollars more than a 4790k+the motherboard i wanted (asus itx). Friggin crazy, decisions decisons...

 

Ordered a 5820k, Asus deluxe and GSkill 4x4 2400 yesterday with eta due sometime this week but to my suprise it will be here later today, yes on a Sunday so good going DPD. Now I need to sweet talk the other half into letting me play today

Yeah, that impact board is a pretty crazy decision.

I find the Z97i-Plus too good already.

 

A bit reserved . Im gonna sit back and wait for other x99 boards turn up before I adopt here in Oztralia . But when I do Im in .

Chucked some stuff on ebay more paper to my cause

 

About time. I have the 5960x on me already. Still deciding on the board and RAM.

I have an Alphacool Monsta 480 dedicated to the CPU, might add in another if needed.

 

Anyone see tomshardwares review of these CPU's? The 5820 beat the rest in almost all of the games for some reason lol.

 

DPD just been but my other half isn't having any of it so tomorrow is when I can play
