Gone and done it

Nice machine. However, the bit tech review says that whe overclocked to 4.7:

the i7-3930K does guzzle electricty when overclocked: a hideous 525W under load. In comparison, the i7-990X drew just 423W when overclocked. This is due to the much higher voltages that the Sandy Bridge E chips require when running overclocked.

Yikes. 6% faster for a 24% power increase isn't amazing.

The toys have arrived :D

Box full of RAM, Motherboard and the 3930K.

Unfortunately OCUK screwed up on the delivery of the water cooling kit so the build will need to wait for a few days :(

Cant wait to play and see what the differences to the 9550 are.

I've run some Premier Pro, Lightroom and Winrar real life examples and will re run with the 3930K when built, both at stock and overclocked.

Building my 2500k system just after Xmas :D Putting my Xmas money and what I saved up towards a new watercooled Rig.
