Broadwell E & Skylake E release dates ?
- Thread starter Kaapstad
- Start date
Top end Broadwell-E is rumoured to be a 10 core 20 thread CPU instead of 8 core 16 thread CPU.
true but the 8 core is enough not willing fork out for the 10 core.

I would remove that link if I was you, as it is almost certainly mentioning a competitor, unless OCUK have started a prime service.
The same for you Razor seeing as you quoted him.

NO COMPETITOR REFERENCES PLEASE!! Although to call any of that lot competitors is an insult!
I have that ASrock board with 5960X its clocking very well with full OC socket. It can do DDR4 3200-3400 no problem in quad on Samsung IC dimms.
Everyone who knows the release date of these CPU is under NDA so I am not sure why such questions get asked.
Similar to the pointless several thousand posts about Polaris and Pascal in the GPU forum. Needless speculation and those who do know cant say.

I think its safe to assume they wont be much call for a 'level' upgrade Haswell-E to Broadwell-E (i.e. six core Haswell-E to six core Broadwell-E etc) when the reviews turn up in due course which is why I would advise necessarily holding out for Broadwell-E. This is not just wild speculation its a very likely scenario given past Intel chips and what we know about Broadwell-E (primarily that its a die shrunken Haswell-E chip).
Build has changed now i've decided I going attempt my first full water cooling loop it's not going end up well.
Doing it in the Air 540 case now instead of Air 240. So i've decided get a ASUS X99 Deluxe motherboard instead. Is 2400MHz ram really that bad?
Decided just do all at once so going GTX 980Ti SLI.
Sorry 8 Pack It just seemed easy way to list the build is all and didn't consider competitiveness.
It's actually changed now lol. Still getting a 5960X but making it in a Air 540 so I have more room as I've been convinced to do a full custom loop that's not going work out well at all.
So motherboard has changed to ASUS X99 Deluxe.

2400mhz is fine as long as you get a kit with tight timings, Corsair do a C10 kit.
CPU: i7-5960X
PCI-E SSD: 400GB Intel 750 Series M.2 PCIe
HDD: 1TB SATA HDD
MEMORY: 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4/2400mhz Quad Channel Memory HyperX Fury [That's what I was looking at]
MOTHERBOARD: ASUS X99 Deluxe
GPU: GTX 980Ti Watercooled SLI
PSU: Corsair RM850
I see there is some 3000MHz HyperX Savage QUAD Channel for not much more.

I have a kit that was the highest of the qvl list, 2800mhz cl16 but was able to get to cl14. Is that decent? From what I read before though the timings make a very small difference.

Faster ram isn't much more, seems a shame to pair it with the ram you spec'd seeing as you've gone for the top end intel cpu.

The frequency makes a very small difference as well in the majority of tasks.
Fingers crossed, I would quite like to replace my 5820k in a year or so's time with an 8 core Broadwell E if any pop in the sales/for a cracking price.
I am kind of hoping the 5930k equivalent will be an 8 core this time with Broadwell E (optimistic i know but the top end is going to be 10 core this time apparently so you never know)

What about that ram then?
Far higher spec but still in my budget. Got be honest this isn't going be a cheap build and probably was skimping on the RAM so apologise for that.

^^Release date is sometime in Q2. Could be around Computex time. Could be around June time. No one knows yet for certain.

All the pine for more cores, i'd much rather have higher clock speed and better power management at this moment in time.
The 5820K is brilliant, and can hit 4.3Ghz easily, but with six cores it needs to be power managed.
