On choosing which CPU family to purchase:
The 3000 series (eg 3930, 3960, etc) are the older Sandy Bridge technology, while the 4000 series (eg 4930, 4960, etc) are the next generation Ivy Bridge technology. I haven't seen reviews suggesting there is a big difference in performance among them.
On which CPU among the families to purchase:
We wanted top performance, so we chose Hex cores (6 processors) over Quad cores (4 processors). The price seemed to scale fairly linearly with number of cores, so you get what you pay for.
The primary difference between the Hexa-core 4930 (3.4 GHz) and the Extreme 4960 (3.6 GHz) appears to be clock speed, which is less than 6% (probably not humanely noticeable), while the price difference is 2x ($500 vs $1000). You decide, 200% price for < 6% performance? We chose not.
On coolers:
We were surprised by one thing. In contrast to other Intel performance chips, this chip ships without a fan, but if you run it (even at low clock rates) without one, it runs hot enough to burn your hand.
After just a few minutes, we became worried and shut it down. We immediately ordered a cooler from Amazon and waited a few more days before we could finish the build.
After reading many reviews, we ordered the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO which is working fine. In retrospect, though, we wish we had ordered the Cooler Master 212 EVO Plus (this newer variant hadn't been reviewed). As near as we can tell, the Plus is the same exact cooler kit with an additional fan attached. It delivers extra cooling and is still compact enough to not interfere with adjacent memory and PCI cards, and if (for whatever reason) you just want the 212 EVO, you can easily unclip one of the fans and you've just saved yourself $12.11. The 212 EVO is $38.99 on Amazon prime, while the 212 EVo Plus is $26.88.
If you really want to overclock this CPU, you'll probably want a circulated water cooler. Again we compared clock rates you might achieve (4 GHz with our cooler, 4.6 GHz with a decent water cooler) and decided it wasn't worthwhile to spend 400% the cost for 15% performance improvement.
On cost vs performance trade-offs in a power build:
To put these decisions in perspective, the cost of all the components for this performance machine was about $4,000.00. We traded some cost for marginal top-end performance.
The highest performance CPU would have cost maybe $600 more for 6% performance improvement (eg 15% cost growth for 6% performance growth). This was probably a good trade.
The best performing cooler would have cost maybe $80 more for 15% performance improvement (eg 2% cost growth for 15% performance growth). One could question the wisdom of this trade, and we may re-think it. Since we've already bought the fan-based cooler, our upgrade cost is $120 not the $80 difference between air and water, so we would bear a 3% cost growth for that 15% performance growth. Time will tell...

haven't bothered to address all software packages, as your own personal software installation will vary considerably.
Hope this was helpful. Whichever build choices you make, I know you'll enjoy your PC for a long time to come, and I hope you have as much satisfaction as we have had throughout the extended planning, building, installing, and operating process.
All I did was replace my amd fx8150 (and obviously the mobo). Wow, smooth as a baby, no more studder. I guess it turns out that the fx8150 was the bottleneck (oc'd to 4ghz). I thought cpus were better than that nowadays? I guess not. For the last 10 years I've been AMD all the way. But now I guess I'm going to be an intel fanboy. Okay, I suppose AMD is still the best bang for the buck hands down. But if you want top raw performance, AMD won't give it to you. I heard the fx9000 series were disappointing and not that much better so I took a chance on this 4930k which was cheaper, I'm glad I did!
Pros:
-No pins, wow when did that happen? I was worried because instead of pins, the cpu and mobo only had tiny gold bumps. I'm not too fond of connections that don't lock in, but I also don't like accidentally bending pins. I guess these guys know what they're doing.
-4.2ghz without even trying to oc. like seriously. I just put turboost on auto and it maxes out at 4.2ghz when it needs to and comes back down to 1.5ghz on idle. Well I'm sure I probably did something while stumbling through the bios.
-Processor speed debate aside, this thing is the fastest cpu I've owned. I probably wont need to upgrade until they come up with quantum cpus.
-Very cool, not as hot as the other intel processors I've had in the distant past. Also I suck at putting on thermal paste, can't ever figure it out. So I'm glad this runs cold.
Cons:
Its too sexy, I caved in and bought it. I'm hope some of you have more willpower than I do.
For hardcore gaming the 4960x is not really necessary especially for it's grand+ price tag!
The 4930k's price-to-performance is just the ticket to dominate games & not your wallet!
With 6-cores & 12 threads, AMD wish'n it could have this computer power! Trust me, I was an AMD fanboy for years!
For the most out of your LGA 2011, I recommend, ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition. I was easily able to overclock the 4930k to an. Impressive 4.9Ghz, using the Corsair H110 liquid cooler!

Pero el procesador funciona al 100..
En primer lugar, es un procesador de 6 núcleos (3,4 GHz y 3,9 GHz con TurboBoost) realmente potente (incluso comparándolo con generaciones posteriores) y repercute en su precio (actualmente es superior al que tenía cuando lo adquirí). Por tanto, hay que estar muy seguros de que necesitáis toda esa potencia ya que AMD con los procesadores de 8 núcleos es un serio rival ofreciendo un costo bastante más bajo, aunque personalmente prefiero Intel. También cabe decir que es el más pequeño de la gama extrema y que no lo veréis reflejado en la caja. (OJO! El mío vino sin disipador, por lo que si dudáis es conveniente hacerse con uno).
En segundo lugar, la temperatura es muy buena en comparación con otras generaciones. Yo lo tengo instalado sobre una ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition y un Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E Extreme juntamente con la combinación de los 5 ventiladores de mi caja NZXT Phantom y haciendo un uso ofimático e incluso jugando a juegos que no necesitan una gran barbaridad de CPU se mantiene en 21-26ºC. Si le pedimos más potencia, alcanza los 40ºC.
En tercer lugar, al ser un modelo K, se puede overclockear, siempre y cuando tengáis una placa base que lo permita y una fuente de alimentación que no os consuma al 100%. Yo lo he llegado a poner a 5 GHz, rozando temperaturas de 60-65º C, nada mal para ser refrigeración por aire aunque, como ya sabréis, hay que ir con cuidado de no pasarnos y quemarlo. Intel, a través de su página online, ofrece la posibilidad de pagar una cuota anual en concepto de extensión de garantía que os cubre el overclock.
En definitiva, a día de hoy, hay procesadores más baratos que ofrecen prestaciones similares, aunque algunos han experimentado problemas en cuanto a temperaturas se refiere. Su precio es elevado, al igual que toda la serie de socket 2011 y el resto de componentes.
Si queréis montar memoria principal (RAM) DDR4 en vuestro equipo, este procesador no os servirá.
Yo estoy muy contento con él y pienso que aunque su precio sea elevado, tendréis procesador para una buena temporada. Recomiendo totalmente su compra.
Déjà "dépassé" par les nouvelles générations, il n'en a pas moins leurs performances.
Il a encore de nombreuses années à servir dans le top des processeurs.
Intel Ivy Bridge est un équipement (bien que cher) à s'offrir sans retenue.
Bob fi-fille.
Als erstes ist zu erwähnen, dass es sich hier im gegensatz zum i7 3930k um einen Nativen 6-Kern Prozessor handelt und somit nicht wie der Vorgänger ein kastrierter 8-Kerner ist. Aber das tut nichts zur Sache, denn die Leistung ist trotzdem brachial. Für normale Nutzer die wenig im Bereich Medien-Rendering zutun haben, ist dieser Prozessor uninteressant da schon 500€ sehr happig sind.
Kauf:
Ich habe mich für den Prozessor entschieden, weil ich schon Jahre lang mich auf die LGA 2011 Sockel verlassen habe und auch nicht vor hatte einen wechsel zu machen, obwohl der Sockel nach einer Zeit langsam veraltet. Kein Haswell, nur Ivy Bridge-E dennoch ist der Prozessor sehr zuverlässigt und schnell.
Mein System:
i7 4930k (gekühlt mit Corsair H100i)
16GB Corsair DDR3
ASUS RAMPAGE IV Black Edition
3X GTX TITAN im 3-Way SLI
1000Watt Silverstone Gold NT
Test:
Der Prozessor läuft ohne Probleme mit Turbo unter die angegebenen 3,9GHz, die Temperaturen haben sich auch nicht verändert wie beim i7 3930k im Idle auf 28°C und unter Last auf maximal 52°C. Ich habe ihn jetzt ne zeitlang auf 4,7GHz laufen und mache (während ich hier diesen Artikel schreibe) einen Belastungstest mit Prime95. Bisher noch keine Abstürze oder sonstwas.
ACHTUNG !!!!!!
Besitzer eines ASUS RAMPAGE IV Black Edition, die von einem anderen LGA 2011 Prozessor von der 3. Generation kommen müssen eventuell die neuesten Intel Chipsatz Treiber installieren.
Da laut Gerätemanager der Prozessor nicht optimal implementiert wurde.
FAZIT:
Der Prozessor ist sehr schnell, leistet gute Arbeit und steht da wie ein Fels in der Brandung
Leute die von einem i7 3930k umsteigen müssen sich überlegen ob die 500€ für 10-15% mehr Leistung es wert sind, oder es für denen wichtig ist, dass sie auf LGA 2011 bleiben. Für mich ist es das, da ich den Restpreis meines 3930k quasi verrechnet habe mit dem Prozessor.
