i7 4960X review

The overclocking of both the cores and the memory is quite a let down, 4.6ghz on the cores is a joke.
 
Unless you're going to use the extra cores, clock for clock a 4770k is faster and has a stronger imc...glad I ditched x79 now.

Just reading more reviews, apparently it best to stick with the 4770K for gaming.

According to reviews the was no point buying a Q6600 over a "faster" E8400 :P

All I see from those benchmarks is that it's virtually the same as the 4770K/3930K in GPU limited games (slightly lower due to them using crappy memory settings).

I think I made the right move downgrading to a 4770K setup from X79, saved a few bucks, and Ivy -E really doesn't seem very good. Certainly not worth the extra cost over a 4770K setup.. Meanwhile I'm saving what pennies I can for Haswell -E, we all know that's when it gets interesting (:
