TTL reviews the 5820k and concludes a retarded point

It suffers from the problem of blandness. It's just not good enough at anything to stand out, or be worth the money. That isn't to say it's without merit. It's an Intel CPU and they are all good at what they do and you wont be disappointed with any of them. It's just, why would you buy this particular model?

Umm... maybe because its 6 cores for the price of four (plus memory) and for a creative professional that doesnt live off his work, that is a bargain? Plus the fact you can upgrade later to 8 cores

 

 

 

If you're in the world of workstations and enterprise solutions but can't afford the eye-wateringly expensive Xeons then the i7-5960X is absolutely barnstorming and, relatively, cheap. If you want a gaming system then as we've demonstrated on countless occasions you'd be as good with a Pentium G3258 and then spend the rest on a beefy GPU as you would getting a 5960X. If you're not quite at the extreme ends of the "need" spectrum and want a good all-rounder then the 4770K or 4790K not only are more cost effective to purchase - given the huge price of DDR4 memory - but they overclock far better than the i7-5820K so you get more bang for your buck at a cheaper cost.

How the fuck does he so completly forget about a large (and probably the target) market for this CPU... Lost a lot of respect from me, since he was usually the one seeing merits in everything, and always finding someone that can use the product well...

[Archangel1994]

...I have no words. What the hell is this conclusion?

[vm'N]

He might aswell recommend a 2700k over a i7 4790k because it can clock higher.

[holytoledo]

Last I checked it was still up there in the performance charts at cpubenchmark. Not the highest, but definitely in the high end.

 

One of the best options per dollar after all those pricey xeons.

[Jerakl]

I'm done. That was stupid.

 

 

I have lost faith in TTL.

[Paralectic]

Who is ttl?

[AlwaysFSX]

It's a damn 6 core monster, how is it deemed useless?!

[Scionyde]

Never had any respect for him to begin with, his cpu reviews are always terrible.

[rentaspoon]

I think he means price to performance there's better out there.

But I can't stand his videos or reviews, the only interesting thing he's done was strapping 40 fans to a rad.

he has an awesome sense for aesthetics, and ORCA was a great build

his case reviews are really indepth

@LukaP he gave the 3930K a gold award, should give you an idea how really stupid he can be.

A 5820K is up to 50% faster than the 4790K clock for clock which is a huge improvement, just like the 3930K vs 2600K, end of it.

[Jumper118]

he got this one wrong, but he still does good reviews. i will disagree with him on this one.

well that is assuming perfect scaling over cores but yes i agree, his decisions are completly irrational...

[Joshua Ondangan]

well I kinda agree and disagree with him. but over all I like the guy.

 

not everyone likes the usual i5's and want to go x99. although the 5820k is pretty good but just for blind and other factors other people would go 60x.

but not everyone has the paper to splash on a 5960x.

 

although I kinda not like the 5820k. just for personal preference anything below the extreme edition is kinda meh (not performance wise) although I use the 3930k since the 3960x wasn't available at that time but I did still buy it though for the self satisfaction part.

 

but fact is not everyone can afford a 8 core i7 nor those expensive xeon e5's

Actually yeah forgot about them, I haven't watched one for a while as that's usually hardware canucks side of things for me.

He done a good video on the corsair rgb keyboard profiles as well, I take that back then.

[Sintezza]

Why he lurks about overclocking memory speeds that much?

if you run 2400mhz or 3000mhz ram, it doesnt make a jackshit sense ...

 

For a good review about the 5820k, i would say check Brains video of Tech Yes City or something like that.

There seems to be an issue with the cache of the 5820K not seems to be overclockable, or at least not verywell.

[NumLock21]

He always seem drowsy in his videos. Probably getting some help would be better instead of just being a one man crew.

[nick99n]

i always liked his reviews because he goes in depth every time but i watched the video review and i could not agree with him 

edit:it's not like i hated this review, to be honest it is not "the amazing 6 core " everyone is talking about ,look at the tdp ,140 watts is wayy too much if you want to render all day and the ddr4 is making this choice more expensive too ( i still agree it should be done but it makes the whole price going up due to this fact that you get peanuts from performance (talking about ddr3 vs ddr4))

[samcool55]

Never liked him, i'm happy that i'm not the only one disagreeing with his conclusion.

[WelshDdraig]

I watched the video to see what he thought of this chip and I completely disagreed with him. I like TTL as he is usually a down to earth person who will speak his mind. If some thing is off, he'll tell you.

Sure, the platform may seem expensive at first glance, but the only expensive part is the DDR4, the motherboards are around the same price (£150~ish) the processor is only £60 more than a 4790k. When DDR4 prices drop after a generation (the early adopters fee I see it as) This is a cracking CPU. Has enough lanes for SLI & Crossfire, with some left over. For those looking to get to x99 on a budget, get this processor and if you fimd you need more power, upgrade later down the line and sell your old chip on. 

 

Everyone's entitled to their options, but on this occasion, I don't agree with anything he talked about this being a non-useful processor

[laxer]

I don't see why everyone is up in arms over this review...

 

All he really said was if you're looking at this chip for gaming don't bother as a 4790k performs similarly and is far cheaper. If you're looking for a workstation build then he thinks it is more worth it to push out the extra $200 for the 5930k. If you cannot afford it than this is still a good chip just not "enthusiast" or worth early adopting.

 

While I do think the review was a bit dismissive I do not see a reason for the uproar....

 

I think this chip will become more popular as time goes by with x99/DDR4 prices dropping but, for now I would agree with avoiding it either up or down on the cost spectrum.

[Jumper118]

i think he's given it a bad review because it doesn't overclock well and the imc is weak on his chip. if they had given him a good one like he is used to then i think he would have come to a very different conclusion.
