It's the best purchase I ever made, I will definitely do it again.

In general, I am very pleased that I am the owner of this processor, before it was the Intel Core i7 2700k which I used for 4.5 years, by switching to it I got a 2.5-fold increase in performance when processing photos and graphics.
This processor has excellent overclocking potential, fast and productive, it is more aimed at working with calculations than at gaming tasks, and if we compare it with other 4th generation or 6th generation 4-core i7, then in games it is not the strongest player, but speaking about solving serious computing problems, this is an excellent processor that does a good job of video decoding, 3D graphics processing and, of course, photo processing, especially for those who need fast memory exchange, 4-channel mode is a huge plus. He is also quite smart when coding HTML and so on. For those who choose a processor for gaming needs, I recommend looking towards modern 4-core solutions, since they are quite enough for most games, and when overclocked in games, they show themselves no worse, even better.

Pros

My review will be dedicated to the Intel Core i7-5820K Haswell-E processor (3300MHz, LGA2022-3, L3 15360Kb) -6 cores and 12 threads, fast information processing, I work with photos and graphics, I'm satisfied with the performance. -Good overclocking potential. - Lack of video core. -4 channel memory mode. -Cold in normal mode and quite productive. - Price-performance ratio.

Cons

- In my case, under overclocking over 4 GHz, it heats up like an oven, the Thermaltake NiC C5 cooler, which is capable of dissipating up to 230 watts of heat, cannot cope with cooling this processor under overclocking already up to 4.2 GHz. The processor in a free case at room temperature of 25 degrees under full load heats up to 86 degrees, when using AVX instructions, in other cases up to 75 degrees, which is also a lot. (I do not exclude that I came across such an instance) - Power consumption is strong, especially during overclocking.
