I7 5930K should I keep or Upgrade?

Does anyone have links to any benchmarks showing 58xx vs the current gens of cpus (ryzen and 8/9xxx) ? I'm on a 5820k and getting the upgrade itch (my itch is actually for a monitor but there's no upgrade path there, so I'm broadening my horizons)

I'm considering the same currently, moving from an OC'd 5820K to a Ryzen 2700 - which looks great value at about £350 for CPU and a decent mobo. I think gaining the extra two cores is nice but the single threaded performance won't be a massive gain.

My 5820 at 4.3ghz gets 169 in Cinebench single threaded, a 2700 at 4.2ghz gets 176.

This one is a good one but it's only first gen Ryzen and only 8th Gen Intel. Still gives you a decent idea where it would sit next to the newer CPUs though.

I moved from a 5820K to an 8700K and noticed much better minimum frames in Battlefield 1 and 5 on 64 player maps, this isn't something that's necessarily reflected in benchmarks as it's difficult to repeat the results reliably, but the benefits are there in my opinion.
 
Good video. Basically there's zero point in upgrading (4 intel generations, ~5% improvement if I'm lucky... lol)

What about the multithreaded cinebench run?

I upgraded from a i7 5820K to a i7 6900K and now a i7 6950X. My wife went from a i7 5820K to a i7 5960X. Going from the 6/12 cpu to a 8/16 cpu definitely helps on performance in multithreaded workloads - that was pretty evident from the get-go. Also as side bonus it freed up some more system ressources for windows doing its task in the background and not hurting performance while gaming. I wouldn't hesistate getting a i7 5960X/i7 6900K - especially if you find one for a good price.

It funny when people say it's a dead socket :D

I went 5930k-5960x the 6950x might be in budget in a year's time :D

Hello folks

I need some advice on what I should do as my motherboard is faulty (X99 Pro) and ASUS rejected my RMA (Typical ASUS behaviour) and swore to never touch their products again. They have lost a loyal customer who has bought their boards for the last 6 years. They rejected it because I broke the pcie tab (that thing to push to release graphics card) while taking my system apart to send it off for RMA. So I am left with an i7 5930K and some DDR4 RAM sticks. What should I do? Buy a second hand motherboard or sell the CPU and move to a newer platform. I am only frustrated at ASUS, Overclockers on the other hand has been very helpful and thanks for the haribo when you returned back my board.

Thanks for reading

PS: Dear lord ASUS support sucks they also lied about some scratch on the left corner of the PCB and I cannot find this so called scratch and seriously a scratch voids warranty now??!!!! Stay away from this company

common problem with retention tabs crap way of holding in a card but I would stay with what you have for now just get a S/H board lot about now with upgraders going for new CPU`s.If you are looking to upgrade better options around end of 2019-2020 for CPU and M/B upgrading but probably still will not be worth it from a performance point of view. Graphic cards will be the best place to spend your money.
