The 3930K system helps generate around 6 extra frames per second at these real world gaming settings.
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!
