Intel 5960X Processor

[Machete]

I would like to see an in-depth video of the 5820K, as it seems to be the most head turning chip right now. Who is really this chipset addressed to? Do you have to be a video editor to see any difference? Most people say DDR4 makes it kind of waste of money right now if you're not involved in any creative content production, and they seem to have a point.

 

But my issue is, how a relatively simple X99 build (remains beasty though) is gonna stand against high end z97s in terms of longevity for someone who isn't keen on upgrading often? In other words, do you think its gonna prove to be a better choice in 3-4 years from now?

 

Asking as a s775 C2D user, the time for new gear has come long ago.

So? USB 3.0 is backwards compatible.

Yes, I know but USB 3 support is not all there. In my experience it's still a little flakey sometimes.

So what i think...well i think im jelly and i want one...actually i want this one... C´mon Linus sell it for me! you got Two as it is!! D: damn you Intel..im so jelly...that capsule

[Trentonxx]

it's funny because on the WANshow the Intel guy (sorry I don't remeber his name! :unsure:) said that even adding an aluminium case or a t-shirt into an Intel-E package is gonna be expensive, then Linus got this beast lol

 

 

(yeah I know it's a special limited edition and stuff, just sayin..)

i love capsule more than chip :wub:

 

this thing can be modded to be great pc case, put some water cooling inside and it will look super awesome.

That was cool packaging Very nice custom box from Intel!

Nice unboxing! Does anyone know what kind of knife was on his keychain?

[DeViLzzz]

Even without the special, cool thing Intel did this was a pro unboxing by Linus.  He makes them fun and really needs to do a few unboxings per month and not leave it to where it has been a year between unboxings.  Seriously good stuff Linus.  

After what I saw as a horrible The WAN Show last night this pro unboxing picked up my spirits again in relation to what you do at Linus Media Group.

you guys should use the container to make a modded pc case

[B2llius]

I don't suppose anyone knows if you can actually buy this bundle? This would be awesome to have.

can we have a tour of the fully water cooled room?

What about power consumption when overclocked? I would also like to see a comparison with X79 motherboards,  X99 looks like the boards would be more efficient and have lower power consumption overall.

hmm...i think every chip should come in a capsule ^^

Nice unboxing! Does anyone know what kind of knife was on his keychain?
