Not long now, 10mins and windows installed
Same batch as Frosty/silent scone, hope that means its as good, or better

Each to their own, not sure where you got that it's louder from though.. H105 has a thicker radiator, fans can run lower RPM and get rid of same amount of heat, so it's really quiet using 120mm fans.

It would come down to which rad / fans can fit in your case, for me in CM 690 III 120mm with thicker rad was ideal.

I am referring to the stock fans. The Corsair SP are just prettier versions of their old SP fans which are very powerful and, very noisy.

At low speed they are not as obnoxious but when they spin up you know about it.

The H110 does pretty much the same job of cooling (within 2c) but it uses their AF fans. They're also 140mm, so they're much, much quieter than the 120mm SPs.

I'm not referring to radiator size or thickness or cooler volume or the viscosity of. All I'm saying is that Corsair's 140mm AF are quieter than the 120mm SPs which ship with the H105.

Lol wut?

They don't need to run as fast due to the thicker rad so the 105 is quieter. Didn't you watch the vid. You can't just discount the features of the other rad and compare the fans

To the guy asking about cooling the 105 is whisper quiet, and does a great job on the 5820K, so if you wanna pick one up go for it.

Little tip for Has-e users,

Cpu-z takes an age to open up so go into your cpuid folder in programs and open up the config file with notepad and change, sensor to 0 and spd to 0, save and now will load as normal

Not sure will look into this as it came up as denied for me when saving, win 7, no problems.

Hey guys.

I'm thinking of moving from my SB-E to Haswell-E, partly due to PCI-e 3.0 issues and partly cuz "it's just getting on a bit now" (aka upgrade itch).

Currently my 3930K is clocked at 4.4GHz, although I'm sure it'd go a bit higher.
I'm looking to go to a 5930K, what sort of OC can you expect from these on average and what speed would I need to match my 3930K?

4.5Ghz is average, with some getting higher but at big voltage. These Haswell -E chips are monster's even at stock, so if you get 4.0Ghz > 4.2Ghz it will match a 3930K @ 4.4Ghz imho. Lower power consumption and more bandwidth with DDR4, it's worth the jump imho. The motherboards are really nice as well.

OcUK do a bundle with a 3.8GHz OC, which I thought was low but then wondered if maybe the Haswell-E didn't overclock that well.
Another place offers a 4.4GHz OC, but I was wondering if that was worth it. If I can get 4.4GHz by myself then I'll get the bits and clock myself. If 4.4GHz was a good overclock though it might be worth paying the extra for a chip that would do it.

EDIT:
Need to decide on a motherboard now.
Asus Rampage V Extreme, Asus X99-WS, Gigabyte X99 SOC Force and Gigabyte X99 Gaming 7 WiFi are my current picks to choose from.

Right click properties of the file -> Security tab -> Edit and apply/add full control to your user account, ok everything and you should be able to edit it.

Well after much umming and arring between a 5820k and 4790k I finally bit the bullet and ordered a 5820k and MSI X99S SLI Plus (I was tempted by the Gigabyte but I have always had MSI boards for as long as I can remember).

Only gone for the crucial Memory on this week only offer as it's fairly cheap and I can always upgrade to faster RAM at a later date once the prices drop down.

Last month I got the last of the reconditioned H100s to cool it as well, looking forward to my first high end setup.

Whilst I mainly use the PC for gaming and was leaning towards a 4790k, the fact that my missus has started using my PC for video editing and photo editing because her i3 laptop isn't really quick enough was enough to push me onto the X99 platform (any excuse I know)

Got my 5820k up and running finally with everything back in my new case happy with it so far as well as my 980gtx really gave me a good bump in performance from my 290 and without the heat.

Got it up to 4.2ghz at the mo its watercooled and even after 5 hours of prime the temp barely ever hit 60 so I am happy need to do a bit more testing but looking good can't wait to see what it does for my video processing.

Gigabyte SOC would be my pick from those, you should be able to reach 4.4Ghz yourself mate, no point paying extra for a pre over-clocked bundle imho.

Do not worry about the memory that crucial Memory will be good for job and you can always play with the timings to see what it can do. The high end memory is more for Extremists and bencher's.

ketma think newest that MSI self updated to and runs fine. I spent some time installing windows ect got it up to [email protected]. In single core tests in CB its ALMOST as fast as my previous 5ghz sandy. I keep my oc results since x6 phenom and 2500k scored 1.97 and 5820k 1.94. So there you have proper first hand comparison. You need 4.5ghz to match 5ghz

My replacement Asus X99-S is due back after testing on Thursday. Hopefully, I'll get a bit luckier this time.

I think I'll just do a full fresh install of Windows off the bat this time though.

 

[jamie1414]

Anyone know if my 5960x overclocking to 4100 mhz with the ASUS deluxe automatic overclocking is any good? I've heard of some people maxing out at 4.3 ghz but getting 4100mhz so easily seems to be promising.

 

[DazQ87]

Took delivery of my bits yesterday, no time to upgrade due to swimming training though, genuinely excited about my first "-e" tagged CPU though

Not wishing to start a Windows 7 vs 8 debate, would it be better to go for 8 this time as I hear it has better multi-threading support?

Also what sort of overclock should I be looking at on a 5820 under a H100 as a rough ballpark?

Why do people favour the SOC over other boards? I've read the reviews they all seem pretty much the same?

 

[Nickolp1974]

I'd go for an Asus board, it works superb and you get the OC socket which apparently helps to OC the cache and give extra voltage which can help stabilise your main core OC.
