I am aware of that. But comparing to my 4.6GHz SB-E, it's not looking at being a cost effective upgrade at all as a 4.4GHz Haswell-E isn't going to be much faster than what i've already got.

The 5820k is the most powerful CPU/value rating in the top 50 power rankings
very impressive, just a bit of trivia
There are three other CPUs in the list with higher value results.

No it's probably not worth it in your case

To get the 4.4ghz performance of a HE out of your SBE you need to be clocking to around 4.8ghz. However, the numbers between 4.6-4.8 as you probably know are quite minimal any way.
It's not worth it. Not unless you want and can use an 8 core CPU, thats the only offering worth taking with HE if you're on 6 cores already.
I would take the itch elsewhere and maybe treat yourself to an enormous SSD, two GPUs, a new case.....

If your coming from the I5 2500K, then its worth every penny imo.
Not sure how the 2500k has made its way into this thread?
So, got it all installed and it's running. But, I upgraded my BIOS and now it won't recognise my boot disk. If I hit F8, I can manually select the correct disk, but it won't boot automatically from it.
Suggestions appear to be a re-install of windows. Is that the only option?

I just finished up my review on the 5960x. Took longer as I was reviewing other stuff at the time as well.
This was all done on the Rampage V Extreme. The review for that will be coming shortly. Just finishing it up now.

I would love all your opinions/feedback on the review. Finally getting back to doing more Computer component reviews.

have you tried changing the boot priority inside the bios? it might help
make sure that your os drive is connected to the correct sata port on the board
either that or disconnect all the sata ports you have except your ssd/hdd with your os on then see if it boots into it like that
if all that fails its gonna have to be a reinstall
Alas, it doesn't even appear in the boot priority list.
I will check this when I get home. I didn't realise there was a correct sata port for the boot disk
Can't seem to find which one it is in the manual, do you know which it is?I started like this and it booted OK. If this is the case, then I need to figure out how I can add more disks
Not too much of a train smash if it comes to that.
Thanks for the response!
Was the OS booting before you upgrade the BIOS or is this the first time you've tried booting the drive with your new system?
If you have connected the drive on the Intel ports and you used the Intel ports on your old system than it should have been able to boot.
If the controller your drive was connected to on your old system wasn't a Intel controller then I see why it won't boot any longer and you might have to try to find a way to get around this or reinstall your OS.
EDIT:
I just noticed after making this post you posted that it was booting before.

Your first boot drive usually gets connected to the very first sata port on your board. Look in your board manual for sata port 0 or 1.
I will do that. It's funny that the other two drives are recognised and presented in the boot list. When I get home, I'll have a look at the ports that are plugged in and ensure I'm in the lowest port. Cheers.
in the advanced section go to the boot section then go down to hard drive bbs priorities and see if the hard drive is in there if so set it as the first one and disable the others this means thats the only drive that it will detect
if it doesnt appear then move the sata cable to either sata port 0,1,2,3 then it should appear in that list
All the X99 chips seem to be reaching 4.5Ghz comfortably. With a few chips capable of 4.7Ghz > 4.8Ghz with quite a lot of volts and very good cooling.
It's still early days, so hopefully with improved bios / better memory compatibility things will improve a bit as well.
Thanks mate for responding. I can't wait to get my x99 system.
I spent a lot of time last night backing everything up (something I have now set to do on a schedule
), but that all meant it was very late by the time I was ready to try new things. I'll look at this over the weekend and see what's what. But now the system is in a good state for a complete re-install. Even if I figure out the issue, I may well start from a clean install anyway.

New bios out including UD4, F9C, still can't run my ram using XMP profiles with any sort of overclock, but managed to get it running @2666 with the cpu @4.5 +250.
