***Haswell -E Owners Thread***

Show me yours, stock etc and a few loops into super Pi.

Will do at some point, I'm using my PC atm.

Plus it's running spot on @ 4.0Ghz for 24/7 don't want to risk unleashing the never-ending cycle of booting straight to Windows, and having to furiously press del to try and get back into the bios :D

Stock is 3.5 :)

I'm a little worried about overclocking it more, i currently have 3 290's, board,cpu, 3 SSD's, 12 fans, 1 drive from a 1000W PSU, think i'm pushing my luck tbh! :(

Yeah I def agree with that beast setup, leave CPU at stock.. Maybe switch over to 3 x GTX 980's? That could bring down the power usage massively, then you could clock the nuts of your CPU :D

My Everyday overclock on my 5820k on an Asus x99-s :)
 
Is there someone here (Maybe Kaap?) that can compare Sandybridge-E to Haswell-E, both 6-core at 4.6GHz?
Or point me to where some comparisons have already been done.

The Anand review was about as thorough as you are going to get.

Basically -

http://www.anandtech.com/show/8426/...review-core-i7-5960x-i7-5930k-i7-5820k-tested

How much faster is Haswell-E over Ivy Bridge-E? Clock for clock, 8% on average.

How well do these CPUs overclock? Not as well as Ivy Bridge-E or Sandy Bridge-E, but performance is comparable.

I have an i7-3960X at 4.8 GHz / i7-4960X at 4.5 GHz, should I upgrade? Only if you need more cores.

I already have the i7-4960X and run at stock, should I upgrade? Only if you need more cores.

Do the 28 PCIe 3.0 lanes on the i7-5820K affect gaming? Not at 1080p in SLI.

So in summation? they're all pretty much equal until you reach the 8 core which obviously has no competition.
 
We also have to bear in mind that the vast majority of us don't need to upgrade and certainly won't use these chips to their full potential (including me). It's also about what you want and can afford. A year ago I had an amd fx8350 and it was more than enough. However, I wanted to get another chip just because I wanted to.
 
Would be good to upgrade cpu to i7-5820K except I will not just need a new mobo but new expensive ram which I can't afford at the moment :(

Just wish either Intel would make a cheaper 4 core cpu for the X99 platform or ram prices go down
