What issues?
Ver few i7 5960xs were able to get past 4.2ghz good ones 4.4ghz and few to 4.6.
The batches released weren't great. Even custom build sites listed mainly only 4.2ghz even for the i7 6950x.

Very few could be found that were binned even on overclockers website.

I'm one of them that sit at the 4.2-4.4

4.2/4.4 it's not bad at all for a 8c/16t CPU, you should know very well that more cores means less GHz.

That I know but would have been good if they could at least hit 4.5 or 4.4 steady I'm not complaining to much. My i75960x is great gets me doing loads of things at great pace!!
Was a big inprovement from my i7 4770k

Of course, it would be nice but remember we are the consumers and Intel is the manufacturer, maybe it's not that easy as we think to build a CPU with a lot of cores that hit high clock speeds.

True very true, can't wait to see what the X299 chipset has to offer, the i7-7750k seems like it maybe interesting, but i want to see what the X chip is ;)

The same here.

Next time i upgrade it will be a 6c CPU, soon or later it's time to move on to 6c.

people say i7s and stuff are totally unnecessary, and such core cpus (cpus with more than 4 cores) but i always ignore such remarks, espcially when comes to gaming, people say i was silly to get the i7 5960X, well the i7 5960X along with i7 6950X destroy the i7 7700k at Video making, Streaming while gaming, and much more scenarios, yes an i7 7700k is better at FPS, but if you want the best fps while streaming making videos and such , an X series type CPU is the best route, especially if you make videos, do documentations and actual work and more.

I even host my own servers for certain games, so the CPU is great, but obviously download and upload internet speeds are an important thing on that side of the cover, but i7 5960X is great.

Especially as more and more and more games in this day and age are saying (i5 - i7) in requirements! least my i7 5960X is futureproof for a long time!!!

Actually, the "X" series have nothing to do with it, just the number of cores my man. You can get 6 cores without an "X" designation. ;)
Isn't the X designated towards the Xtreme series best of the line i7s though, that are primarily aimed at workstations, and editing high end of gaming tech and such same as xeons.

Thanks for also making that comment good sir, i've learnt another new thing since being here!
I've thanked your comment :)

I've learnt computers my whole life primarily by myself, and through what i've read on internet, in pcpro magazines and custom computer and such. :) everything i learn helps me to better understand!

As they say, we learn something new everyday and I just did!

Its just the top of the line CPU. It tends to have the most cores, yes, but you can get 6 and 8 cores without the X designation.
I know I've seen AMD CPUS with a bunch of cores and stuff, and a few i7s, but I don't know much about AMD cpus or how they work. or designate their CPUS

My 2600K is an X chip:laugh: and my board is defiantly an X, Extreme :roll:
But when the Intel people really make the leap they did when the Sandy Bridge came out that will be the day when they do it with 6/8+ cores !!!

But they did get pretty close with this 7700K, it's my granddaddy chip :toast::laugh:

So true, I remember owning an intel core 2 duo cpu, PAHAH!, when i got my i7 4770k and it smashed that, i always went high from their on, the performance gains were huge, then i got my i7 5960x, personally thinking of selling the i7 5960X and My motherboard, if a great replacements come out, hopefully cheaper. or around same price that i can sell both parts for.

Sandy Bridge and IVY were 2 talked about awhile back, compare vs compare think it was ivy bridge, but none the less, X299 and new CPUS better kick some serious BUTT!

Untill they offer something that will perform on air as Flank3r has done here, I don't see much reason to upgrade to anything !

They don't have any 4 core chip worthy to replace my 2600K ATM, and for mb's since my Cougerpoint board 1866 ram is faster than 2133 still don't see any need to move sideways :toast:

Im wondering what you consider "worthy". You have Sandybridge...and don't see an upgrade path? The 7700K smokes your CPU in IPC (~25%). You are also missing an arseload of technology since that time (NVME, USB3.1, to name two).

Not sure what you are going on about with your ram being faster than 2133 either...If you tweaked the 1866, you can tweak 2133 as well. ;)

Yikes.

As you have pointed out before, most users need 4c8/t and as for the new tech, it's mainly for the power user,
As for the ram, it was discovered that Intel engineers had tweaked my 1866 to perform as fast or faster that at 2133
Sure I could use a SSD, but for overall usage gaming it's more than capable not just to score High bench marks. USB what I only have a mouse and keyboard.
As far as NVME again SSD not going to be fast enough????? A lot of that is overkill
And the IPC is how many micro seconds.
I'd like to see the 2600K at 5ghz vs 7700K at say 4.5 air then see how it still holds up. So even if the 7700K at 5,on air let's say few do also.. then yeah it's ahead again. But at what point is that really a gain for the typical user like my case.

25% faster can be microseconds... it can also be minutes... just depends on the activity. But clock for clock, its 25% faster. The 2500K also leaves some FPS on the table with higher end cards... also in multi-GPU setups. Glass ceiling and all.

An SSD loads the OS, games, and applications faster than a HDD, NVME even faster still (though its benefits don't outweigh the costs). The first thing I would do if I was you is snag a 2.5" SSD...it really is the most tangible upgrade to the 'snappy' feeling of a PC.

As far as the ram... no disrespect to you, just what you were told/discovered (and how much it really matters - or NOT)........... WHATEVS on that. Links...?

So, you don't have any usb sticks for storage you use? Interesting..Sounds like you should have just bought a dell... :p

You edited after I posted.....................................

I just mentioned the gains... 25% IPC. You want 5Ghz on air, you will have to delid or get a better than average chip (go to silicon lottery and pay a small premium). A 7700K at 4.5GHz is, essentially, stock (most boards boost all cores to that value) and it would still clean up the 2500K. On air, you are likely to be more around 4.8Ghz, give or take 100MHz.

OUCH !!!!! :wtf: Daamnit dog, where is any dell going to do 5+ and live for years LOL:rockout:
With a dozen HDD's what would I use a stick for :slap:
Seriously your right I need to grab a SSD.....but overall this setup has been able to over perform for what it is.
But still I'd like to see a 2600K at 5g to better see the difference. Even the 7700at 4.6 it could be pretty close.
End of the day with single high end GPU this would still perform extremely good at 1440p, but then again this is not the same as most Sandy with Z68 units it seems to have been a Golden cookie.
If you tweaked the 1866, you can tweak 2133 as well
Since Z68 didn't support 2133 it's not able to perform. But as when the new Samsung ram was coming out, Dave discovered an unusual event that my 1866 was getting as good/better as Z77/79 2133 speed's.
He suspects that Intel knew about the issue and they tweaked the hell out of the 1866, thus a free performance gain.

Im using 2600k not25

2500K/2600K doesn't matter. 25% difference. Look at some reviews for clock for clock performance. It doesn't matter if its at 4Ghz or 5Ghz together, the IPC is ~25% at the same clocks.

You can run 2133 on Z68? What are you talking about?

Ok, I'm taking the blue pill and walking away... this discussion isn't for this thread, and the "golden cookie" thing just made me pee a little in my pants laughing at the thought of one being any better than the other and/or trying to figure out wth that means.

Cheers.

EDIT: Love the editing well after someone responds to you... lucky I happened to come back, twice...

I'm using a 2600k not 25 big difference.Surly you have some of your 2600K data from way back then, went you reviewing back then also.
You can run 2133 on Z68? What are you talking about?
Sorry you Peed but there are very few Z 68 that were able to run 2133 very rare again, I'd like to see how they 2600 K at 5Ghz which most would do would compare to a 7700 at 4.6ish, don't think that big of a real life difference.
As far as the ram... no disrespect to you, just what you were told/discovered (and how much it really matters - or NOT)........... WHATEVS on that. Links...?

The ram links it'll have to find later.
better than the other and/or trying to figure out wth that means
For real life usage not just benchmarks.

That was a typo.. What I said still absolutely stands with 2600K. Why are you comparing it at 4.6Ghz, I don't know...I said 7700K will hit 4.8-4.9.. depending on sample and cooling. But good air should take an average, no delidded chip to 4.8-4.9...You get a simple 2x120 AIO, and you are at 5Ghz...

No clue what golden anything means in this conversation. It doesn't exist as I think you are trying to say. So, Im just going to leave it at that. :)


Took the blue pill...this is just a silly conversation at this point. Golden systems... started my day with a smile! :)

Earth dog I'm truly sorry I made you have to go take the blue pill, the other blue pill.
I should say indeed it is hard to understand something in typing than been in a personal conversation I apologize about the edits I'm a shitty typer 58 years old and pretty crippled up so it takes me a very long time to type. I'm starting to understand what you mean by clock for clock.
I was trying to get at the older chip at its height overclock compared to the new chip at its basic o'clock or slightly over to compare for a general user day to day and on air was like before a simple $15 Hyper would get a high overclock not 100+ dollar AIO cooler. The Golden system is the older users with similar to mine looking at justifying many hundred dollars to move to a new platform who may not be just gamers, or video editors of which I game, do home videos and various other task .
I'd love to move to this setup Flank3r has in here, albeit toned down, but just how much would it really gain for a normal user. You have brought that very phrase "normal user" many times in your post.
Hope that helps to explain what I was trying to get across I'm using the voice on my phone to try to get this In better words.
At least if I started your day with a smile, then I have done something right for today again sorry for the confusion.:rockout::toast: Hope this makes it more clear now.
