On this page we overclock some of the processors at 4.6ghz, 4.8ghz and 5.0ghz … measuring and comparing relative performance with Cinebench R11.5 64 bit.
Intel's 6 core processor designs absolutely dominate this benchmark and there are some interesting results to take from the graph above. When the Core i7 2700k is overclocked to 5ghz it manages to outperform the reference clocked 990X, at one third of the price. However when we compare the Core i7 2700k @ 5ghz to the reference clocked Core i7 3960X EE @ 3.3ghz it falls short, scoring 9.73 points, compared against 11.39 points. The new architecture is showing considerable performance related improvements when powering the Cinema4D engine.
When the Core i7 990X EE is overclocked to 5ghz it manages to outperform the reference clocked Core i7 3960X EE producing a score of 12.13 points compared against 11.39 points. When we overclock the Core i7 3960X EE however, the performance is literally in a class of its own, with nothing even in the same zone. 14 points at 4.8ghz is an incredible result.
32GB of ram for under £170, I find that hard to believe, nice find there on Amazon
ASUS bioses are really strong, a lot of people dont give them c redit for that work which is (to me) the main reason for buying a board.
I would opt for Rampage IV Extreme because of LN2 slow switch, it will really make a difference.
Very impressive setup. Shame it costs a fortune
Id love 32gb of ram witht this system
Rampage IV extreme is better. better bios settings.
Sure, rampage is better but you could buy a set of quality memory with this for the same price. its all about finances.
Niccely done. Not sure anyone would need 32GB of ram, id rather go for 8gb or 16GB but clocked faster. maybe just me.
“We could almost imagine that Corsair made this memory specifically for the Asus P9X79 Deluxe Motherboard, as shown above.”
Apart from the fact that corsair won’t be marketing quad channel vengeance with blue heat spreaders.
