Our good friends at Cyberlink kindly supplied the software for our BluRay and conversion tests.
Cyberlink PowerDVD 11 is one of the finest solutions for the BluRay experience on Windows and we found this software to work perfectly with this chipset. We tested with the new Bluray Disc of ‘The Road’.
As we would expect, the 3930K slots right in behind the 3960X EE. This wouldn't be noticeable in the ‘real world'.
Absolutely brilliant review, very interesting to see them both at 4.8ghz when rendering. That L3 cache does make a difference.
wish I could afford the 3930k. but id need to change my motherboard as well……. still when I get £800 this will be the changes!
Very informative review and the pictures of the mobo are great. glad I found the site today.
I feel sorry for AMD, I remember when they were closely matched, but sadly no more 🙁
Fantastic read. I can only speak for the Intel Core i7 3930k —
While the product itself is great, it doesn’t include a cooling fan, necessitating the purchase of an aftermarket cooler. As of Dec. 6th, there are only a few compatible fans available on the market and Corsair Hydro Series H80 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler (CWCH80) is the only one that I know of that Amazon carries. Buyer beware!

Nice system, love asus motherboards, this one has a passively cooled northbridge too which is better than the others. I hate seeing small fans blocked by graphics cards.
AMD where are you? I long for the days of good FX processors. That 8150 was a disaster. double the cores of 2600k and still slower 🙁
Great review! Now I have both devices in my computer. I’m waiting a opportunity to get a ideal power suply and enjoy this awsome configuration!
