5820K vs 6800K

Whichever will be on a very good custom water loop going for maximum stable overclocks.

 

I heard Broadwell-E sucks at max clocks, where a 5820K can hit 5.0 on proper water?

Well, what are you going to do that requires water loop overclocking with either of these chips?

Ever tried running a high TDP chip? (140w) and overclocking? barely any air cooler out there can handle these chips above 4ghz.

You are more than likely NOT hitting 5Ghz on a 5820k, not even with a propper custom loop.

You will need way to much voltage to get the chip stable, at least that's what I am thinking.

Do you need over 4Ghz? What will you be doing that needs overclocking anyways? And I've just noticed, that 5.0 isn't happening. Like. You'd have to disable too many cores and add way too much voltage for it to be practical, regardless of temps.

You've got to remember clocks are the be all end all, you have to look at the architecture.

My 6900k@4.2Ghz will out perform a 5960x@4.4Ghz but remains cooler.

 

I originally had a 5820k, but it would't overclock any higher than 4.3Ghz, most only get 4.5Ghz and that's we a awesome overclocker.

Where the 6800k@4.2Ghz (the average) is around if not beats the 5820k@4.5Ghz in synthetic benchmarks, but who's running synthetic benchmarks all day.

 

So if you're just looking a bragging rights on core clocks, get the Haswell-E, if you're looking for better performance and benchmark scores on lower clocks get the Broadwell-E.
