This review is from: Intel Core i7-5930K - Core i7 5th Gen Haswell-E 6-Core 3.5 GHz LGA 2011-v3 140W Desktop Processor - BX80648I75930K
Pros:
Great stock clocks for a 6 Core 12 thread Processor
Overclocks excellently
Runs at Amazingly low Temps
Great Stability
Cons:
Wish mine went a little further, but that's just the name of the game
Overall Review:
I got his chip up to 4.7ghz stable pretty easily but that seems to be the limit (The voltage got a bit beyond what I feel is safe) but I bumped it down to 4.5ghz for 24.7 use since that is enough for all my applications and games. Adobe finishes now so fast and gaming is never held back to the point where I feel this beast will be good for 4+ years. I love the temps this thing runs at because I barely ever (Though I am under liquid) get over 70C under 100% stress at 4.5ghz overclocked on all 6 cores (Turbo disabled). Cannot praise it enough as to me this is one of my favorite Intel chips out their. Its overclocking is generally better than the 5960X (Mostly because its 6 cores vs 8 which limits things) and it has all the PCIE lanes you could want for your gaming/media/work PC setup. Highly recommend if you want to run 3-4GPU's but I would say if not to get the 5820K.
