Review on πŸ’ͺ Powerful Intel Core i7-5960X Haswell-E 8-Core 3.0GHz LGA 2011-v3 140W Desktop Processor for Exceptional Performance (BX80648I75960X) by Abhey Rai ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best thing Ive ever used, a great item for everyone!

1) If the cooling was chosen correctly, then the temperature of the processor without overclocking is 30-40 degrees. In overclocking under heavy load, all 16 threads are at 100%, up to 60 / 70-75 degrees. 2) Performance cannot be described in words, what used to take 2-3 hours is now completed in 15-20 minutes. 3) If good cooling is installed, then without effort you can overclock to 4.8Ghz. And if with efforts, then up to 5.4Ghz. I'm cooling a CBO Thermaltake Water 3.0 Ultimate processor on an ASUS x99-deluxe/u3.1 motherboard. Without overclocking, the system is completely silent, somewhere around 20 decibels. With overclocking to 4.8Ghz, noise was audible (35-45 decibels) with extreme overclocking to 5.4Ghz, noise up to 60 decibels. 4) I work in Unreal Engine 4.9, And for me, the CPU will always be the critical and weakest link in the system, even if it has 99 cores with a frequency of 33Ghz. No matter how powerful it is, in this program the load on it (all cores and threads) will always be 100% when packaging the finished game. The only question is, how fast can I get this job done? 2-3 hours with i5 3320m or 15-20 minutes with 5960x. 6) Of course, this monster needs a very fast RAM. I haven't succeeded here yet. I installed not what I wanted, but what was (Kingston DDR4 2800 4GB each, 4 bars with radiators "KHX2800c14d4 / 4gx), but it does not work at 2800, but at 2133. What this is connected with a lot of thoughts . 7) * To say that he is expensive is pointless !. It costs roughly $1,000 everywhere, and if you work as a salesman in the far east of 2022 or as an electrician in Australia, you will have different opinions about the price. for one, he is expensive and you can’t go home without security. For others, it's worth a penny. It's all about the standard of living and earnings. So, people who underestimate this miracle of engineering are simply wrong, and to put it mildly, it is not fair to do so. My rating is 10 out of 10, it can’t be lower than the rating, besides the fact that this is the most powerful desktop processor, it also has more than 50% overclocking potential*

Pros
  • 1) Cold* 2) Very powerful* 3) Huge overclocking potential* 4) 8 cores/16 threads 5) cache 20mb. 6) Support DDR4
Cons
  • They simply don't exist. 7) For the price, see Comment *
