BX80648I75820K Core i7-5820K Desktop Processor (6-Cores, 3.3GHz, 15MB Cache, Hyper-Threading Technology)

Purchased this new from Amazon back in September for my new build. Using a Corsair H115i AIO. I'm really impressed with the 5820k. It wasn't my first choice, had my eye on a 5930k atleast, but do to my budget and reviews online, i pulled the trigger on the 5820k. So glad I decided I went with this one. I have mine OCd to 4.3Ghz with no issues and usually hovers around 50c-60c during full load. Yea it only has 28 PCIe lanes...but Im running a Nvidia 1080FE's in SLI and it handles any game I can throw at it. This CPU is really a great all around processor for a good price. I highly recommend to anyone that cant decide on a LGA2011v3 CPU. Like I said it only has 28 lanes and it does very well with my SLI setup. If you are doing M.2 or PCIe storage setups along with SLI, I would recommend a 5930k or better with 40 lanes. However, if you only want 1 GPU and the M.2 or PCIe storage, the 5820k can handle it with no issues. 5820k @4.3Ghz/Asus X99AII mobo/32GB Crucial Billastix2400 RAM/ 2x 1080FE SLI/EVGA 1050watt PSU/ Thermaltake Core V51 case/ Samsung 850 SSS 250GB for boot/Seagate 2TB HDD.

If you are looking to build or upgrade your computer, take at look at this CPU. It can do almost everything! I had an AMD FX8350 and decided I could no longer wait for AMD's Zen cpu to be released. I had to do thinking about getting this CPU and changing to the X99 platform as Intel recently released the Skylake series. I had to choose between Haswell (4790K or Xeon E3-1271 v3 ) and keeping my DDR3 ram; Haswell-E (5820K) and upgrading to DDR4 ram or (Skylake) 6700k and still needing to upgrade to DDR4. My PC is a daily driver that I also game on, some video encoding along with light photo and video editing. After looking at all the benchmarks and weighting the pro and cons I settled on the 5820k and could not be happier. I am able to overclock (settled on 4.3 @ 1.25 for stability and to keep heat down. I am still playing with this), which lessens the lead of single thread performance of the Skylake 6700k. I also like that I am getting 2 more cores that can speed up activities that can take advantage of more cores. Alot of the hitching I was having in games is reduced and gameplay feels smoother in general. The time to encode videos has really improved. This is a great all around CPU and can be the basis of a great machine! This might not be the CPU to get if you are mainly gaming, if you need more cores or the 40 PCIE lanes (as opposed to the 28 the 5820k offers), you are probably looking a the the 5930/5960 anyway.

This product is amazing for it's price, and as others have said, is worth it to not spend $200 more for a marginal performance increase. Maybe if you were running dual+, high-end graphics cards, but this is going to do a lot that is thrown at it. Perfect price-to-value ratio currently. For cooling I went with the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, works great for anyone looking for air cooling. Good benchmarks, and runs cool with my current cooling.

Cons: None so far concerning performance and heat The ONLY thing that I consider a con, is that you have to get DDR4, which is priced high since it's new. I consider DDR4 a blessing. Recommend openly to anyone looking to build.

This is a real a real powerhouse of a CPU, with 6 cores and 12 logical threads, it just rips through anything I have thrown at it. This processor is very economical for the processing power and lanes you are getting, versus Skylake. This CPU will overclock with the best of them, so I am not missing Devil's Canyon, (which I also own), or Skylake. Yes, the X99 Chipset costs a little bit more, but DDR4 RAM is now about the same cost as DDR3. I was going to build a new Skylake rig, but with some research, (and for the money), I felt I was better spending it on an X99 rig. I went with an ASUS X99 Deluxe II Motherboard, which can easily overclock this CPU to high and stable levels. So, I feel like I got a 6 core Skylake for a slight premium, and let's not forget about the 28 PCI lanes as well. For the money, you cannot beat this CPU for the performance it offers. I also feel that for this time and place, this CPU is a better value than the new Broadwell-E CPU, which simply does not offer much improvement and does not seem to overclock as well, at least according to the few reviews I have read on it.

As most people are, I bought this cpu for high end gaming and I'll tell you what, aside from benchmarks I have yet to get this processor over 50% usage, this is while maxing out AC:Unity, BF4, Arma3, etc. Oh, and streaming on twitch, running a small minecraft server and using skype at the same time, I am so glad I went with a Haswell-e system over anything else. Also have not seen it go over 52 celcius air cooled. Other system components, -970 GTX x2 -16GB Corsair 2133 DDR4 -MSI X99S mobo -Corsair 750w PSU UPDATE(5/15): Been 6 months now, opinion has not changed, if not better. Cannot get this cpu to run over 65% under normal loads. Max out GTA V PC, Dying light, BF Hardline with 970 GTX. Still runs at 50 Celsius air cooled. UPDATE 2(1/16): Not anymore information to provide other than how great this processor still is Does not choke on, Fallout 4, Witcher 3, Just Cause 3(CPU intensive) Also added a 2nd 970 GTX and it handles it quite well. If theres any other games anyone is interested in seeing if this CPU can handle let me know. This is a great piece of technology.

Este es el procesador mas económico de la gama alta 2011-V3. El costo-beneficio que ofrece es mayor que sus predecesores. Sobre todo si eres un gamer exigente te va a dar un rendimiento óptimo por mucho tiempo. A pesar de que ya tiene tiempo que está en el mercado, no ha disminuido su valor y desempeño en comparación con otros que casi duplican su precio solo por un pequeño porcentaje más de procesamiento. Si desean utilizar en sus equipos un arreglo SLI o Crossfire les recomendaría mejor el 5830 o equivalente porque los lanes de PCie que tiene este procesador no son suficientes. En cambio, si lo utilizan una sola tarjeta de video es más que suficiente. Otra cosa que hay que considerar es que a partir de este procesador, el empaque no incluye disipador por lo que buscar opciones de enfriamiento se vuelve obligatorio. Les recomiendo los AIO de enfriamiento líquido ya sea que vayan o no a hacer OC. En mi caso yo adquirí el Corsair Hydro 115i y no sube de 40°C a full (sin OC). Además es muy fácil de instalar.

Auch wenn das nicht Teil einer Produktrezension sein soll, möchte ich das vorweg kurz erwähnen: Ich habe zuerst eine gebrauchte CPU erhalten. Das Handbuch fehlte, und die CPU flog fast lose im Karton herum. Ich dachte mir zuerst, dass das normal sei, und ich unabsichtlich eine "Tray" CPU bestellt habe. Beim Auspacken der CPU fiel mir aber auf, dass im kleinem Loch der CPU noch ordentlich WLP Reste waren. Folglich war die CPU schon mal wo im Einsatz. Hab diese dann reklamiert, und per Expressversand sehr schnell 2 Tage später (!) eine neue CPU erhalten. Interessant war, dass das 2. Paket aus England kam, aber Deutschland noch welche auf Lager sein sollten. Ich befürchte mal, dass da offenbar nur Rückläufer lagernd sind. Der Amazon Support hat trotzdem da wieder Mal vorbildlich reagiert, und die Ware unkompliziert getauscht. ------------------------------------------------------------- Nun zur CPU selbst: Sie ist solide, die Tempverteilung ist ziemlich gut (delta vom heißesten zum kältesten Kern vl 4°c). Auch das OC Potential ist grandios!. Die CPU läuft bei mir auf 4,5GHz mit 1,185V, Vinput 1,88V, das ganze auf einem X99 A Board. Auch 3200MHz QuadChannel RAM steckt der Speichercontroller noch weg. Mit einem Noctura NH D15 bin ich da mit maximal 60% Lüfterdrehzahl auf knapp über 70°c in Prime27.9 Small FFT. Auch das ist ein sehr guter Wert! Alles in Allem ist der 5820k mit dem X99 Chipsatz das aktuell beste P/L Modell im "High End" Segment. Ich würde die CPU dem 6700k eindeutig vorziehen, egal in welchem Anwendungsbereich, sofern man den 5820k auch übertaktet.

Best 6 core processor if you are on tight budget/ could not afford to go for higher cores. I bought this for my rendering purpose and it is serving at its best. Go for this if you have CPU demanding tasks and tight on budget.

E' la entry level delle i7 socket X99, ma ha una potenza eccezionale ed è praticamente una 5930k con frequenze leggermente minori e meno linee pcie (40 vs 28), linee che comunque sono piu che sufficienti anche per sistema multi gpu a tre vie, e differenza di frequenza veramente minima colmabile con leggerissimo oc, ma il tutto ad un costo di circa 200 euro inferiore al 5930k. Notevole la differenza di potenza con l'i7 4790k per socket 1150, che mediamente si attesta oltre al 40% in default, se non che la maggior frequenza a default del 4790k lo rende piu veloce in operazioni come compressione e decompressione file e conversione file audio, ma questa lacuna è facilemnte colmabile, e anzi superabile con leggerissimo oc. Ancora non riesco a capire come questa cpu possa costare nemmeno 100 euro piu della 4790k................. Da mettere in conto che è una cpu con tdp da 140w, quindi se si vuole occare bene bisogna dotarla di un buon sistema custom di dissipazione come quelli a liquido. Attualmente la tengo a 4,08 con 1,15v, valori che ritengo piu che idoneii per un uso superlativo quotidiano. Con questi valori ho ottenuto un buon 1625 punti con xtu, con piattaforma su mobo asus x99 sabertooth e ram gelid super luce 3000mhz impostate a 2400mhz e windows 10 pro 64bit. Una cpu perfetta, che va bene per lavoro, per game e per divertirsi con l'oc. Personalmente per un uso esclusivo game consiglio la piattaforma x99 solo per sistemi multi gpu, con risoluzioni video da 2k 144hz in su.

Pros: - Calidad / Precio insuperable (a día de hoy) - Mucho margen para overclock sin problemas de sobrecalentamiento - Tras algunas benchmarks (hago render con vray), constaté que a 3.8 Ghz rinde igual que un dual Xeon E5 2620, y el procesador puede subir sin problemas hasta algo más allá de 4.5 Ghz con refrigeración por aire, sin necesidad de refrigeración líquida. Contras: - La caja de Intel no es apropiada para un producto delicado, expone mucho el procesador. A parte, el vendedor no incluyó papel u otros elementos dentro de la caja para amortiguar golpes y la caja llegó algo magullada.
