what youre specs
I hit 4.6ghz today on my 5820k with load temps at around 68c on nothing but a Alienware branded Corsair H55.
I've since knocked it back to 4.4ghz @ 1.2v.
IMO you should get 4.2ghz easy so that makes Skylake a total waste of money, especially at £210 for an I5. That's just reedonkyoularse.
This could actually be a ploy from Intel to make people buy X99 as maybe it wasn't selling as well as they hoped. But a whole new chipset for this is just lulz.

All 5820k I recently tried can do 4.2 at 1.2 on basic air. For 4.5+ in general u need water but the IHS is soldered so no delid.
The maximum, minimum frame rates 4.2 5820 vs 4.5 6700 was within 2fps when I tried on bf4 and crysis 3 with 970 at 1080p
I have delided about ten of these 6700k CPU. The paste in my opinion is simply awful. On ln2 pot temp -186 I have seen a CPU throttle at 100+ with 1.65v. Really junk TIM.

I can well believe that tbh. I think they have actually gotten better, because there is no way on earth I ever expected to get 4.6ghz @ 1.24v out of mine in a completely monopolised Alienware motherboard (though admittedly it is a MSI underneath).
It might be like the Visheras, where AMD were chasing 5ghz for the Centurions and selling off 8320s that could do 5ghz on just a tad more voltage.

how are the 5930k in general?

From a gaming and DX12 perspective, its hard to not think the 5820k will perform better than a 6770k considering they say that DX12 will utilisation as many cores as it can get it's hands on.
Is there anything else about the Z170 platform that is a defining feature compared to x99?
Also when is the x99 refresh due? And Zen?

Thanks for the info! Was going to upgrade months ago as I made a post with a system , but family commitments had to come first.
Going 980ti sli and sm951 nvme if possible , I'm guessing 5930 would be the best choice?
