Hi, I plan on upgrading from my old i7 2600k to a i7 5820k. What is a good motherboard for overclocking this cpu for a decent price ? I was thinking about the Asrock X99 Extreme based on reviews. Thanks in advance.
Best motherboard for overclocking I7 5820K

A few of my X99 gaming buddies are running the MSI X99S SLI PLUS. They've all loved it with no issues that I know of.

One of my friends does. He doesn't over clock. The others are running 5930K. It's pretty decent for overclocking. Don't expect to get record breaking numbers with this but you should be able to get respectable overclock depending on your cooling method.Originally Posted by teohenwhy

So after doing more research it seems that people are saying that If im running at 4.6ghz on my 2600k it would not be a worthy upgrade to get a new motherboard, cpu and ram to upgrade to the 5820k. I do some gaming here and there , but mostly I do video editing and photo editing with my PC. Do you guys agree that it is not a worthy upgrade at this point?

I went from a 2600k at 5Ghz to my current rig and I appreciated the difference straight away - about 30% improvement in speed. I do a lot of video encoding, mainly x264, and also a lot of photo stuff in Dx0 and Lightroom and some of the filters can be fairly processor intensive. For example using the Prime noise reduction on a RAW file in DXO will use all my cores but as it is not a long process (takes about 30secs on my machine) then you could manage with very well clocked 2600k like you have. Though as I said for video when things can take hours then 30% can make quite a difference.
If you're mainly doing video editing (and therefore I presume encoding) then you should definitely think about upgrading. If you were mainly gaming with a bit of photo stuff then I would say don't bother but the only scenario for going to Intel 6 core from where you are is for video work.Originally Posted by teohenwhy

is the 3930k really that much better than the 2600k?Originally Posted by Wam7

The only case I would say its not worth upgrading is if you only did gaming. Thats kind of why I have just stuck with my 2700k at 4.8ghz for so long personally; I just game here n there, some basic lightroom stuff at a hobby level, and web browse.
The thing to remember here is the programs you use and he was describing will use all cores. SO the 3930k (and 5820k) both have 6 cores (12threads) to your 4 cores (8threads). Thats why they really are that much better for photo/video work. The 5820k is faster than the 3930k. Although, if I had a 3930k I wouldnt be running out to upgrade yet unless you love the newest tech, you on the other hand are on a quad core going to a six core.Originally Posted by teohenwhy

yes that's why I was thinking of going with the 5820k for the 6 cores but I read that chip is a bad overclocker. So would say the 6 cores running at 3.4ghz still outperform a 4 core at 4.6ghz?Originally Posted by 66racer

If all cores are used then I would say it would at least be close but the 5820k will likely do at least 4.0ghz and at that it will be faster. I read they dont oc as well too but still think they all break 4ghz. They just are not hitting the high overclocks as often as the 5930k.Originally Posted by teohenwhy

are you on air or water? I would be fine with 6 cores at 4.5ghz.

I thought most were hitting 4.5 without issues (other than the heat of 6 cores). Mine was easy to get there. I have heard it is harder to get to 5 than Sandy Bridge was. I'm on my phone, but I think Asus and one of the review sites have been tossing 4.5 around as a normal OC for Haswell-e.

PS. As for what choice of board, when it comes to overclocking I now always give Asus a look first. Though for X99 I have no empirical data yet to be definite on a particular brand.
Yes and if you get a decent overclock out of the 5820k (~4.5Ghz) it is faster than my 3930k. If you are using programs that are fully multi-threaded and can take advantage of the extra cores then it is almost a no brainer if you have the funds to spare.Originally Posted by teohenwhy

I'm not sure about this since it's a very different type of sockets and so I guess the products are limited, I had never even heard of the 2011 socket before lol.
Either way just do a quick google search and this came up:

maybe it helps u choose

5820K will be allot better then a 3930K wenn it comes to video editing and rendering.
Especialy if you use adobe premiere.
Allthough both cpu´s do have 6 cores 12 threads,
the 3930K sandybridge lacks on certain instruction sets like avx2.0.
The 5820K does feuture avx2.0 which will be a benefit in video rendering and stuff.
Nice board for overclocking a 5820K.
Well Haswell cpu´s have a FIVR so it depends a bit on silicon luck.
However the Asrock X99 OC Formula 3.1 would be a good choice.
