I am thinking about getting a 5820k since it has 6cores and a good amount of total cache. What I am interested in is taking my 9590 back (a day old) and swap it for the 5820k. I got the 9590 for gaming and was gonna switch my 8320 to 24/7 encoding. But should I switch back to my 8320 for gaming and use the intel for encoding? I encode blu ray with h.265. Or should I return my 9590 due to overheating even with a h115i for another 8320?
Stick to one thread. It is the same question.
If you notice it isnt just one thread. One was about purchasing the 9590 and one is about purchasing the 5820k.
And both for the same reason. This is a duplicate.
I would go with the 5820K yes definitely, it will be great at both gaming and encoding.
Better any offer that AMD has atm.

It is not even a competition.
5820K is better in everything. 6 core 12 threads - great chip. 9590 has nothing on this CPU...

OK, since everyone seems to think that this is about what CPU is best, I'll say 6950X because fuck it.
And after that here is what I really think: If you don't HAVE TO upgrade right now, don't!
You have two systems running FX chips. One can transcode shit all day and one is usable for whatever.
ZEN is coming. Prices will change.
Use what you have and wait.

5820k is a great chip, much better than a 9590, especially considering how well 5820k overclocks vs the newer 6800k.
If you can swap it, do it.
Unless you consider bigger numbers for thermals as a good thing.
5820K is a pretty solid CPU, it might even be overkill in a way considering that only occasionally have I done stuff that uses all dem threads.
Put it this way - you could run Handbrake on four of the cores, and whatever else you need to do in the foreground, even some light gaming on the other two, and it would still be faster at both of those things simultaneously than the 9590 and the 8320 in their respective machines.
So your saying the 5820k is better than a 6800k?
Stock vs stock the 6800k is better, though more expensive.
Overclocked vs overclocked the 5820k is pretty similar, if not ever so slightly faster due to it having less of a voltage ramp, so it overclocks slightly higher.
As a rule of thumb a 5820k at 4.4ghz is as fast as a 6800k at 4.2ghz.
broadwell-e doesn't like going above 4.2 4.3ghz for every day usage, whilst 5820k can sit at 4.4 to 4.6ghz depending on the chip of course.
For the money the 5820k is the much better option if you know how to OC.

5820K.. end of debate
And in my honest opinion still worth it over Bradwell especially given the price is now lower
Yes i agree.
THe price gab in some countries between haswell-e and their broadwell-e equilevents are a bit rediculous.

LOL i guess i was high last night
great typo rootz
lol but yeah the price gap is ridiculous but few people actually understand what happens in retail. Like even if the manufacturer only raises the price a bit to cope with demand. The retailers then have to do the same and if a few retailers deal with too much demand the prices there start going up. We see it with initial releases all the time.
I went with the 5820k, but I noticed the 6800k has h.265 support for decoding. I guess it would be nice if it was encoding for ripping bluray. An 8gb episode is compressing to 600 to 1.5gb for me depending on the episode. But That is also h.265 not 264. Anyways software h.265 support doesn't seem bad at all.
30 years from now your gonna see a 9590 become the most sought after cpu by collectors.
