Review on Intel Core i7-3930K Hexa-Core Processor: Boost Your Performance with 3.2 Ghz and 12 MB Cache LGA 2011 - BX80619I73930K by Eric Webb

Beautiful, fast and stable. Got PCIe 3 working with my EVGA GeForce GTX 680 FTW+ 4GB and Nvidia drivers with their fix. Used with ASUS P9X79 WS motherboard and 32GB Corsair Dominator Quad Channel RAM. Everything runs smoothly and can be overclocked without any problems, but I don't need that with this processor anyway. However, slightly speeds up encoding and rendering when needed. Works great for gaming but can be a little over the top with underutilized features if that's your computer's main use. Highly recommended. Update: February 12, 2013 and it's safe to overclock this chip to 4.6GHz under full load under my slightly more powerful 1.35 volt VCore air cooler. Good and stable crunch power. This chip seems to be able to handle anything and everything. In fact, it's dynamically fully loaded nearly 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, seamlessly conducting scientific research in the background while I perform other normal computing activities, which probably includes most of what you might think, maybe a little.
