Intel Core i7 980X review

Is there anything negative? Well yes, pricing puts it out of reach for the most of us. And then the one thing that might disappoint a little bit are the memory dividers. The processor comes advertised as supporting only 1066 MHz DDR3 mode, that might be triple channel but yeah we feel that lacks a little. My hint there, overclock on the base clock and your memory frequency will rise along with it, should you yearn a little more memory bandwidth.

Overclocking itself then. First off this, we really didn't put in any serious effort. We fooled around with voltages and the unlocked multiplier for 10 minutes and got the processor stable at 4400 MHz. Now -- we did use liquid cooling, BUT it's a semi-passive cooled Zalman XT reserator unit which offers as much cooling performance as a quality air cooler offers. As such we can already say that the Core i7 980X is a grand processor to overclock with as well.

Well, it's time to wrap things up. You get the idea. The Core i7 980X is obviously intended for the professional user, the guy that needs his videos transcoded faster or even some of you guys, our audience, the mainstream to extreme hardware aficionados. Normally I could never justify a processor in this price range, neither could I justify a processor with six physical cores, but the Core i7 980X makes sense somehow and we all know and understand that multi-core processors are the future. Expensive, heck yeah... but that's the high-end game. Luckily you do not have to purchase a new motherboard, you only have to upgrade your X58 motherboard firmware, pop in this processor and you are good to go. So if you can, and are willing to afford it... you won't regret this purchase for even a single second. It's an utter gem of a processor.
