Haswell -E Core i7-5960X, 5930K, 5820K specifications

Hopefully the performance and overclockability of the Haswell-E is better than we are expecting as a lot of people are assuming the
Haswell-E performance won`t be much better than what's already out and will be slower than the current processors that are out
in gaming and also won't overclock very well because of them being a Haswell.

At the moment we just don't know because no information about the performance and overclockability of these processors
has really appeared yet on the internet.

Fingers crossed they are better than we are expecting, especially when it comes to overclocking.

Yes, yes you are wrong, like you are wrong about most of the ASSUMPTIONS that you've made about X99, Haswell-E so far in this thread.

Unless you work for a company who have hands on experience of the platform you really shouldn't be so pessimistic and vehemently disparage something which, frankly, you obviously have no clue about.

Very nice to see the forum moderators putting Andy in his place. Maybe if he keeps acting like a child, they will eventually ban him and we can go back to normal around here :)
 
lol 8 Pack and OcUK have been a subject of debate on HWBot recently as it is on that very matter. But ya, this is all off topic. Sorry Bart!
sorry OFT again, I wasn't aware that we were generating so much buzz? :p
To clarify, it's not OcUK who spoil 8Pack, I wish we had the capability to speed bin that much hardware!

lol I have not even seen that thread. To be honest with the old pro league I had no OCUK support and was top 5 with Andre Yang, Nick, Vince and HiCookie still benching hard. That was with zero support other than the odd mb. The support has helped me no doubt but not as much as certain guys think.
 
I'm thinking £300-£350 for the 5820k (lanes are so overrated hehe)
I'm wishing £350 for the EVGA Classy X99
£240 for balistix elite 16gb mem (only 16gb for now till faster stuff comes out and will get 32gb)

And hopefully a little left over and put some money towards sli'ing my 780

I'd say about £1250 should so it (fingers crossed)

Ballistix Sport and Elite won't be available at launch, look early-mid September for those.

Lets be honest mate, if people are making accusations about yourself, then what about Vince at EVGA, do people really think from the KingPin's he speed bins himself, of course he keeps the absolute best clockers for himself, yet you still kick his ass. :D

Essentially Team AU defending joining of resources as the only way to remain competitive against you lol. But then again James does like 90% of the subs for that team anyway!

We already talked about that. 1. They're Haswell but 2. They're soldered. So nobody knows apart from those who have them.

Maybe if some people had actually read my posts properly instead of wading in they would have seen everything this thread has discussed.

Gad nuggets and tarnation, he put me in my place alright.

I actually didn't sleep last night*

*Actually I did. Because, you know? I actually couldn't care less.

But hey, whatever gets you off. This place is full of corporate style trolls any way. That's why I have numerous accounts at other forums where I can -

1. Be a realist, and not a corporate bumboy.
2. Talk about my experiences with computer parts without being in fear of what resellers I mention.
3. Actually have intelligent conversation with people who don't go around like robots saying "Intel and Nvidia are the best forever and ever amen even their bad products beat AMD's good ones"

Repeat, ad nauseum. I've been banned from here plenty of times. Each time I've just laughed to myself, then gone to another forum.

Then have a conversation instead of trying to bait more arguments?
