Now live in Scotland !
At the moment im using a J batch 5960x at stable 4.5ghz @1.19v i have had it at 5ghz at 1.35v stable also .but for only 2 benches . i have also ran it gaming at 4.75ghz at 1.30v stable . all under custom water cooler with 2x 480 rads with 8 fans . 32gb 3000mhz ram

I'm looking to upgrade/downgrade as not really needing the Extreme CPU and would the 7820X be an upgrade and be cost effective .I.E selling the 5960x and getting the 7820x and having change .

the 5960x is retail and still under warranty for about 18 months left .

Thanks

Oh and im purley gaming with the ODD 4K video edit and photo editing will be future use .

or would the 7800x be even more cost effect and get a motherboard with sale of 5960x J batch . ?
 
Cheers lads . I do have a good binned cpu . Just maybe fancied a change but might wait to next year now and just use what I have .

My motherboard is the MSI godlike (none carbon) with bitspower full cover block .

I'd personally avoid all 6800K/6850K recommendations as they don't really clock that well without a lot of extra voltage, also you will be dropping 2 cores which will be noticeable performance loss.

If you was looking to upgrade, i'd be looking at ether a i9-7900X or better or a AMD Threadripper depending on use case.

I wouldn't class the 7820X as a upgrade, as its more of a side step.
