Only there ROG's are worth it any more for the tier they sit in
Also one phrase makes this true...
FANTASTIC MARKETING
another interesting opportunity has come to light
a friend is upgrading and is offering to sell me his 4930k for about £250, he doesnt overclock and I know it is in perfect condition.
all things considered I can get that plus a workstation board for the same amount of money that I would have spent on a new 4790k + normal x79 board
okay so I wont be getting nvme BUT its a ridiculous amount of processing power to turn my nose up at and I can slum it on my normal ssd :P
okay well so you are basicly looking for a cpu that gives you significantly better render times and multi threaded performance?
Do i read this correctly?
Then the 5820K is your friend!.
Read this..
http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php/750439-DDR3-4930K-vs-DDR4-5820K-comparison
considering I can keep my current ram kit (abd even double it up to 64gb at a later date) the 4930k looks far more appealing to me.
Yeah but the 4930K is probably way more expensive i guess,
unless you can find a X79 mobo + 4930K used for cheap.
But according to newegg, the 4930K still costs $600,-.
The 5820K is only $370,- bucks or so.
So will be totaly able to buy a 5820K + DDR4 ram kit, for less then the new price of the 4930k.
And that would be my recommendation.
Because i think that finding a X79 board for a reasonable price, will be hard aswell.
I have the option of buying the 4930k for £250 (effectively 373.32 US Dollars) from a friend.. kind of sways me towards it :P
Including motherboard?
I am pretty sure @Logan made a video on how to save money and get the best deals on stuff. Basically find the stores you may shop at and sign up for their email alerts etc. When you see a deal that jumps out at you you'll know it. Sometimes it will be a one day sale. Wish I remembered where that video was it was helped me out allot
I would still recommend the 5820K if you can afford.
Or the 4790K, that would be the cheapest upgrade way.
The 4930K is a great cpu for productivity and stuff, since its 6 cores 12 threads.
However, it has one big downside, and that its lacking on AVX2.0.
Its what a couple of image searches threw up, they could easily just have been bad builds.
that being said though it still doesnt alter the fact that my current build gets roughly that score, and I wanted to aim a little higher for both single and multithread.
Could you do a single core test and let me know what you get?
Want to know what sort of grunt that cpu has per core.
Here is what I got, Oh Ran the test more properly had a bunch of background programs running but it made hardly any difference.
bit of a necro but I have an update
a mate just gave me a Asus Z97-WS Workstation motherboard...(his old board, its payback for the last gpu I gave to him :D) pretty sweet considering it costs £250 so I took the plunge and bought the 4790k, everything else will just swap over
looking forward to it :D
also...
I will be waiting until after this payday to complete the build as I want one of these to go with it
Should be fairly kick arse
That is not a good price for that ssd, I hope you get something better.Its expensive like hell. Your motherboard has plx chip so extra lanes,also m.2 socket seems to be limited to 10G thats 1 GB/s in transfers, using fast m.2 is a waste here. If you do not plan to use 3 gpus than maybe you should get faster ssd with pcie adapter for better speeds and lower price. That drive should cost 1/3 of the price you linked. Its outdated and slow as hell. NVMe drive with pcie bracket would cost less!
Sorry dude
should have explained
I dont plan on buying that from amazon... I only linked to that for illustration (which is all amazon is really good for :P)
I havent done any proper price shopping yet as my plans for an m.2 are pretty much pie in the sky at the moment,
I have no real need for one, its just I happened to save a lot because I didnt have to buy the board that I am possibly going a bit overboard with something I dont really need.
from what I understand the limitations of pcie 2.0 x4 puts me around 1.4GB per sec read and 1GB per sec write, which I can live with.

Very pleased with it so far
will bench somes games when I get the time
Its odd that the same memory placed on the intel platform is almost double the speed, never knew that amd's memory controllers were THAT bad
