Is there any worthwhile upgrade to a 3930K while still staying on LGA2011? The reason for staying on LGA2011 is that I have 32gb of DDR3. I'm still happy with the CPU and will be getting a newer GPU if prices continue to fall. But I'll also be going back to watercooling soonso if I'm going to upgrade anything then now would be the right time.

So is there anything worth upgrading to while still keeping the same motherboard and RAM?
 
Roger that. I'll stick with the 3930K as it's still capable of everything I need of it. Thanks.
 
Thanks for the opinions above. I actually have 48gb of DDR3 as I found some in a cupboard that I hadn't installed. I have ruled out any CPU upgrade. But ironically now that I've found that extra RAM it may be cost effective to sell the RAM, motherboard and 3930K and move into a Ryzen platform. I'll have a look at the costs. Thanks.
