hum guess I go look for x99 or wait for Zen then.

Basic Skylake 6700K Overclocking review and performance.

Skylake looks like a disappointment. What are the chances that we might see a decent performance boost from Skylake once Skylake-E is released?
I would imagine that Skylake-E should be able to outperform the X99 CPUs in every way.

Well if Skylake doesn't outperform Haswell much at all, then I'd be amazed if Skylake-E outperformed Haswell-E "in every way"

Is there anything that the Skylake platform does, that is actually worth choosing it over x99?
From a gaming perspective x99 is still the better platform?

id say stick with it, but if you have the itch, X99 is defo the way to go!
The fact I'm running a 2700K at 4.8 on 1.45v fairly easily is there really any point looking at a 6700K? I know this 2700K will do higher (booted at 5.2 but wouldn't bench, prime stable at 5 but too warm for my liking).
I held off early Haswell and built the best Sandy I could (more bang for buck!) but after reading this I may have missed a trick! Worth grabbing Has-E's from those upgrading to Sky or you think they'll hold off until Sky-E?
My dual 7970's don't bottleneck, but I would look to run them and then replace with 970/980's after any upgrade.
EDIT: Read a little more and see prob not worth it! But are DDR4 & dx12 worth it if going for a 970/980?

Well, I have a 980Ti and I'm pretty sure the CPU is bottlenecking me in GTA V now, and it'll only get worse in time.
I need recommendations now since I've been out of the loop for so long I'm just confused.
5820K X99 go go go!!!
How do the Asus X99 boards such as the s or deluxe stack up 8 Pack? Tempted by a move to X99 and in an ideal world id love a rampage 5, but finances dictate otherwise. Prefer to stick with Asus boards tbh.
Starting to think Gibbo and Ian have a deal with Intel to shift 5820ks 
Just kidding though, for what you get it seems incredibly value in comparison to the 6700k - Maybe not so much compared to the 4790k if you have DDR3 laying about.

I too would like to know this. I have no idea on the differences between the S/Pro/Deluxe, or whether any of them are better than the other by a significant amount. Google wasn't too helpful and I don't fancy trawling spec sheets.
The only 'major' thing I can tell is the Deluxe has dual ethernet.
Deluxe is great. I have used that quite abit recently. All have OC socket so no real issues with high RAM, Cache etc should you want to go that way.
They are so good we are just building an 8Pack Polaris with that board as it offers the colour scheme the end user wants and I can get 4.7+ 5930K no problem.
