5.0 out of 5 stars No se puede pedir mas.
El procesador mas potente que he probado en mi vida.
Las posibilidades de overclock son impresionantes. Tengo la sensación, viendo los futuros micros de intel, de que voy a tener PC para muchos años.
Lo malo, su precio. En mi caso lo adquirí en amazon-reacondicionado y no he tenido esa pega. ;D

5.0 out of 5 stars fenomenale
processore fenomenale, in tutto e per tutto. davvero un carro armato. prezzo forse sproporzionato ma davvero il meglio al momento. regge overclock spinti senza problemi

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Powerful and has very good overclocking potential but simply not required for any Gamer ... unless a nutcase like me. lol
Very Powerful and has very good overclocking potential but simply not required for any Gamer get the 5930k instead as it has 6 cores and the same 40 PCI lanes as this one.
Though this one will overclock better I had a 5930k and returned it, it would only go to 4ghz this one will go to 4.6 if you have
a good water cooled setup, mines working at 4.3GHZ nicely on all 8 cores.
Get this chip only if you do rendering or do a lot of media creation only it will do nothing for you except take a additional £400 out of your wallet quite literally.
Had mine now for a year and its a monster but it a monster price for a CPU!

ClimaxeReviewed in France on September 6, 2015
5.0 out of 5 stars Parfait !
Le processeur Intel i7 5960x n'a pas une réputation usurpée... il est vraiment très bon dans tout ce qui concerne le multitâche. Il permet par exemple de travailler sans aucun problème avec un logiciel de traitement d'images sur des jpg volumineux, tout en décompressant plusieurs fichiers lourds en parallèle. Pour l'instant je ne l'ai jamais senti en difficulté dans l'usage que je peux avoir de mon PC, et l'usage des 8 coeurs est un plus indéniable. Dans ma configuration, il succède à un 5930K, qui était également très bon (6 coeurs). La génération des Haswell-E transpire le sérieux de conception et permet de soutenir l'usager dans des tâches complexes, qui prenaient auparavant 5 ou 6 fois plus longtemps à réaliser.
Du côté des points négatifs, j'ai relevé que le 5960x pouvait chauffer un peu plus par moment sur ma configuration que le 5930K. Cela reste des "pics" de température isolés, que je ne rencontrais pas forcément avec le 5930K, et qui peuvent peut être améliorés en refaisant le jointure à la pâte thermique entre le processeur et le ventilateur. Je précise qu'il n'y a pas de quoi s'alarmer, on reste dans des seuils de température très raisonnables. Le processeur est cadencé à 3 GHz, contre 3,5 Ghz pour le 5930K, mais le nombre de coeurs plus important lui donne plus d'aisance dans les applications. Je ne l'ai jamais overclocké, donc je ne sais pas (encore!) ce qu'il peut donner lorsqu'on l'utilise à plein potentiel.
Il est monté sur une Asus Rampage V Extreme U3.1, et la reconnaissance du processeur par la carte mère a été immédiate.
Un achat que je recommande, mais qui reste onéreux... vivement une démocratisation de ce processeur ! En attendant, Intel a annoncé la sortie de sa gamme Skylake, qui a l'air intéressante en terme de prix, mais qui le sera peut être moins en terme de performances et de fonctionnalités.

1.0 out of 5 stars Ce processeur à claqué au bout d'un petit mois d'utilisation...et Amazon est loin d'être à la hauteur !
J'ai acheté ce processeur avec la carte mère Asus X99-Deluxe. J'ai installé sans problème le processeur sur la carte et j'ai utilisé la machine pendant environ 1 mois sans problème jusqu’à ce qu'un jour tout s’arrête et impossible de redémarrer.
J'ai contacté Amazon qui m'a proposer un retour des 2 matériels Carte mère + processeur. J'ai reçu l'étiquette de retour valable pour les 2 produits. J'ai retourné les matériels qui ont été réceptionnés par Amazon le 29 janvier. La carte mère (369 €) a été remboursée de suite mais le processeur (1 089 €) a semble t-il disparu !
J'ai relancé plusieurs fois le service client qui me répond qu'il font des recherche en interne. Le dernier email date du 10 février. Il devait me donner des nouvelles dans le 5 jours qui suivent et aujourd'hui le 20 février toujours rien !
Je comprend tout a fait qu'un composant puisse tomber en panne donc le problème n'est pas là. Jusqu’à maintenant j'avais plutôt confiance dans les services fournis par Amazon. Ce type de désagrément va m’amener à revoir ma position sur le sérieux de l'entreprise.
J’espère cependant que le problème va finalement se régler très rapidement dans le cas contraire je vais voir les suites juridiques qui peuvent être engagées pour cette affaire.
