But the quad channel possibilities.

That's serves no valuable purpose to gaming however.

Intel Core i7-5820K (4.4 GHz) | Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming | Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB  | 2x 360mm Custom Loop (Noctua iPPC) | ASRock X99 Extreme6 | Samsung 840 EVO 250GB | Fractal Design Define S | Corsair HX750 | Windows 10 | Corsair M65 RGB PRO | Corsair K70 RGB LUX (CherryMX Brown) | Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro & Creative Sound Blaster Z | Nexus 6P (32GB Aluminium) | Check out my setup: Project Kalte Here!

But in reality, here's the deal. 

 

Low end gaming needs, FX 8320 or even the 6300 will fit your needs.
Mid Range you're going ot want to boost up to an i5-4690/4690k

TRIPPLE MONITOR 4K MONSTER DISPLAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... in this case then yes you may wish to utilize the i7-5930k for the 40 PCI lanes, but the 5960x is not gonna give you extra performacne.

 

 

 

That's serves no valuable purpose to gaming however.

Forgive me, I meant 4 way SLI/Crossfire...don't know why I said channel...I'm going to go to sleep now, k thanks, bye.

I assume you would buy the 5960x for its 8 cores, can you even imagine how much power they actually consume above 4.5GHz? Pulling 30Amps from the 4+4 pin cable which is 360W at 4.5GHz. You can't cool it under a high-end custom loop, you can't achieve clocks a 4690k can achieve like 4.8GHz on a 5960x unless you disable some cores but you paid for its extra cores. Since gaming is all about single threaded performance, the 4690K is better than the 5960x.

 

IDK what hat you pulled 360w out of but I'm sitting 220w load @4.375 1.29v, even at my brief stint into 1.345v territory I was only capping ~260w... Custom loop 42 idle ~71 load, only topped 80 up at 1.345v.

 

All the lofty figures aside, the 4690/4790k are much better for gaming in nearly every situation...at least until GPU's can push PCIe 3.0 running 4k displays :P Then I'll really be banking on my 40 lanes.

Measured in? Prime95 you'll easily pull 30Amps. https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?resid=3E8613852BC739B!5921&app=WordPdf

Besides they pull more power than a 3930K clock for clock, http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2014/09/03/intel-core-i7-5930k-and-core-i7-5820k-revie/8 4.8-4.9GHz was the max you could get out of a 3930K under water so imagine a 400 MHz higher clock on a 5960x would require phase change/ln2.

XTU/HWMon. Pro. I wouldn't call either the most accurate measurement tool in the world, but I can't see them being 100+w off.

 

Set the board's short term limit to 270, long to 240. Hasn't tripped anything yet.

 

That doc was a nice read btw, thanks. Where did you find it?

Oooooooh. I bet he's shaking in his boots after reading that. 

How old are you, just out of curiousity? It's all mis-information and attitude from you in every post of yours I've seen...

Intel Inside. Overweight guy in his 30's outside.

The post title is so clear so I'll repeat it again, read it carefully ''Best processor for gaming?''

You're right gaming for everyone is only about playing a old racing game in 720p at the lowest details so this benchmark is what everyone needs.

 

Correct the title says best processor for gaming not content creations. Take you own advice and read carefully....

I dont even know what to say to that last sentence....

 

 

 

Pay attention guys, AMD fan boys flag people in the forum, they got me.

Wrong. They got you because you are a delusional and seem to think that you need a x99 platform to get the best gaming experience. The truth is you will have no performance gain going from z97 to x99. If you think otherwise you are delusional. 

 

Also the people who reported you arent fanboys they just dont like your bs

720P bench's help eliminate any possible gpu bottlenecks, so it won't be the gpu holding back the fps just the cpu. Mind you the older game is what is, an old game and frankly a newer one would be nice.

Here's again, I've chose the ''favorite or motivation origins'' that Linus himself told in video which is AnandTech to blow fan boys mind and makes them come down to earth.

Superiority in 4790K for most games and emulators. http://www.anandtech.com/show/7933/the-desktop-kabini-review-part-1-athlon-5350-am1/4

 

Superiority in 5960X for specific games and situation coming from his higher PCI-E lanes amount and the most demanding games http://www.anandtech.com/show/8426/the-intel-haswell-e-cpu-review-core-i7-5960x-i7-5930k-5820k-tested/7

In 4K gaming, the 5960X scale ever more mainly because of his higher amount of PCI-E lanes to get more power from 2-way SLI and more.
