3.6 5 LGA 2011 Processors BX80633I74960X

Only issue keep in mind cooling wise this chip is known to have to be relided for better performance. However downside you will certain need heat gun, specialized pry tool also voids warranty. I've used EK Supreme Elite combo with XSPC AX 360 still find lacking clocking at 4.8 Ghz mark. high of 102 C running 100% load with CPU burn test; stability test need. (Advised do not let it off 80C I had no choice. Go for fan that's designed for radiator may help provide more air pushes. Found Enemax TB did not do it for me however Silverstone Im happy wtih FQ121. A little clicky noise but no biggy)fine running stock read all 12 cores off case. (30-40C)Price is high still for many but worth a try if you wanna wait a bit. High end stuff in my eyes.*had to run exchange once Amazon did next day exchange. However be advised their out sourced meat heads may not grant as much aid as their supervisor. Reason it will not over clock at all blue screen, unable to boot all the way.Thanks for your time hope this helps. Want to know how it turns out over sometime of running my tasks work, ultra graphic gaming, editing shoot me a question I'll do my best getting back to you asap. Hope this helps you decide.

Pluses: I bought a processor that fits my socket, but my BIOS does not support. They had no issues accepting my return. However, I decided to buy a new Mother Board and canceled my return. Even though I already had my CPU out of box and in my PC for tests, they had no issues with accepting the return, for this alone I would use them again.Negatives: A bit pricey for outdated computer parts, considering computer parts do not age like fine wine, but rather age like grape fruits. All the same, I would certainly deal with them again based off of their pluses. The way I see it, I payed extra for excellent customer support...and to me, that is priceless.

Are you tired of having to heat your home with a furnace, are you tired of low electric bills, and are you tire of only playing games on high instead of highest quality, well this beast is for you! No stock cooler could come close to moving the heat on this guy and with a good closed loop radiator you are in business for some serious heat and power draw. Of course it idles well so no worries there but when you crank this guy up you are in for some serious performance. 6 cores and 12 threads, even the most tasking loads will be a breeze. This flawless CPU is great for anyone who wants to play a game on three screens at highest everything while only loading this up to about half. There is no way you will ever use this thing to its fullest extent, but it makes for some great benchmark stats.

I was on the market to build myself a new rig but then I received an LGA 2011 socket board second hand, when I realized the potential I decided to max out that board and this is the top of the line CPU that fits the socketNow my rig competes with the rig I was going to build, and I wouldn't be surprised if it actually out preforms itEdit:This is technically not the top of the line cou for this socketYou can also get a 10 core Xeon but it has a slower clock (more cores but slower speed)You can also get an eight core Xeon that can be over clocked, that one is said to be the best

Looking to upgrade your CPU to get the ultimate in CPU processing speed for your gaming computer? Look no further!!! This CPU brings plenty of what you're looking for. Buyer's should be aware that this is a 6 core CPU meaning it runs hotter. If you don't already have a liquid cooling system, then make it part of your upgrade. I have a Corsair H80 cooling system that works great. The CPU runs 10 degrees hotter than the Dual Quad CPU it replaced using the same cooling system. Make sure you have a good heat transfer paste and firmly tighten the cooling units heat sink to the CPU for maximum cooling. Not too tight but not loose. To keep my gaming computer cool I have eight fan operating in my Cooler Master computer case.

This processors amazing you definitely get what you pay for.I do have to give Amazon props I purchased this processor new but the process of that I received was completely different. The Processor was packed in the correct packaging and sealed from Intel,but the actual processor was different it was a testing processor and not the retail version!!Amazon totally made it right by replacing the processor and I mail them back the wrong one that was sent to me!Hands-down the best customer service ever from Amazon!! They replaced the process the next day I am a prime member but he was still very quick!!Because of that I will always buy any expensive items from Amazon because they stand behind what they sell you.

As performance: excellentAs price: not really.I own this processor for 2 years now. And it processes everything it comes across; never gets slower.Always fast as you expect it to be.

Not sure why this is "Under Review", I have one from Amazon Prim and then temps are low and the Speed it great for OC. Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility show that it is as an i7-4960X as the tool that came with my Motherboard.At $999.99 Prim Amazon is the place to buy it.Please lift the "Item under Review" and put it back on Prim.Intel i7-4960X Extreme Edition LGA 2011 Processors BX80633I74960XAmazon you do need to correct "Technical Details": you list the Processor as an i7-3960X and Should Be i7-4960X and Number of Processors Should Be 6 and Not 5Technical DetailsProcessor: 3.6 GHz i7-3960XNumber of Processors: 5
