Guess expecting the mobos to last more then a year was a bit too unrealistic lols

Z97 or X99 will be replaced in a year or less guess can not stop progress which is a good thing.
 
Skylake is the only upgrade worth having because it's totally different to Haswell, it should be miles better, it's just a case of keeping your rig as is for the next year, what's so hard about this :eek::eek:

it's a bit naughty of them to release X99 realising it's only for about a year and a half....i'd be very cross if this was me

my main issue right now and for the next year is tackling this dreadful heat problem that i'm getting, so i might switch to a custom Work Bench........or convert a PC into a Work bench, this means i can raise my OC a bit higher.

the Antec Skeleton would have been perfect if the top fan wasn't so low, because it'll foul my coolers :confused:

I haven't seen any major changes in Skylake to make me think it's going to make it worth waiting for if you planning on buying a new PC just now.

Anything specific that you think would make a big difference? Not asking in a confrontational way....fancy upgrading my i7-920 and want to know if there's anything specific which will make a difference beyond what Broadwell and Haswell-e will offer?

And risk the years old 2nd hand xeon CPU dying at any moment? :P

Thats the risk with these old xeons, they may have been hammered 24/7 in some server, or maybe sat almost at idle, low temperatures for years.

Investing money into your old X58 motherboard (which could die at any moment too) is too risky for many.
