We blow away the dust of centuries from the manuals on liquid cooling systems, buy the most fashionable cases and the most top-rated video cards! Intel company produces the most powerful processor for PC in its history - Intel Core i7-5960 Extreme Edition. Like all products with the EE index, the new processor is designed for fans of extreme overclocking and enthusiastic gamers who yearn for new cores and the prospects for their merciless exploitation.

It is not necessary, probably, to say that the nuclei are unlocked by multiplier. In general, the opportunities for overclocking are quite impressive: during the preliminary tests of engineering samples, the Russian overclocker, known in the community as TaPaKaH, achieved a frequency of 6.25 GHz.

Together with the top model, the public presented “just powerful” six-core i7 processors with an unlocked multiplier: 5930K and 5820K (frequency 3.5 GHz and 3.3 GHz, respectively). All announced models will work with the new Intel X99 chipset supporting Thunderbolt 2 and DDR4; they will be executed in the LGA2011v3 form factor.
The cost of the processor Intel Core i7-5960X will be $ 999, 5930K - $ 583, 5820K - $ 389. All processors are already available for purchase in Russia - alas, alas, more expensive.
