Pros
Cons
the best processor for LGA2011. 8 (16) cores, 3.6-4.0 average operating frequency, cool stone - doesn't heat above 55 degrees under load, 4-channel memory mode. noticeable performance increase compared to 2690v1. installed on msi gd45+ motherboard, 2060 GPU - but it feels like it can fully load the older models as well. with this configuration, comfortable gaming in Cyberpunk in FHD. current price on Ali is 8 - 10 thousand rubles. not all X79 motherboards initially support this processor - it's necessary to update the BIOS to the latest versions from the motherboard manufacturer's website. 1866 is the maximum supported RAM frequency - overclocking the bus slightly addresses this. |
..like for the first collection - you can try it, it’s easier to get it from China, that one is cheaper (~$60) .. ..cold, good for robots, 8/16, L3: 20 Mb, bad layout with 2060 super.. ..blocking multiplier, bus up to 3GHz.. |
The machine is cool, it plows powerfully, it handles all the games!!!!! But it’s not very expensive Cores, technical process, frequency PRICE |
