Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everything in the product suited me, the price is generally perfect.

Whoever says that he is badly chasing is absolutely not true. As luck would have it, everyone knows this. For example, the same 3770K, which is probably still considered the best in terms of overclocking, sometimes also "poorly runs". For example, I had a 3770K overclocked to 4.7Hz, but I couldn’t achieve stable operation on the Noctua "NH-D15" air blower with 3 Noctua "NF-S12A PWM". That is + 1.2 Hz maximum. I personally managed to overclock the 5960x with the same cooling to 4.5 Hz stable, that is, + 1.5 Hz, but I was not satisfied with the noise level, so I left it at 4.3 Hz, that is, + 1.3 Hz, while only 900 revolutions for the fans , that is, at 100% load it is GENERALLY not audible from 3 meters, and the temperature is 65-70 degrees, which is tolerable. At 3770K, by the way, at 100% load it was 70-75 degrees. That is, the 5960x wins in all respects. If we compare the speed of work with h264, then 5960x presses 2.3 times faster! A significant minus of the processor is its price, but this is thanks to our exchange rate. On Amazon, the processor now costs 979.5USD, that is, about 32,500 at the rate of 1.5 years ago. I personally percent. with delivery it cost 63,000. All the same, of course, it's a little expensive - not for an office or even a gaming computer .

Pros
  • Very fast, 8 cores (16 threads), excellent overclocking, cold.
Cons
  • Expensive
