This is one of a few that I read that comments on the higher operating temp of the 3960X which ultimately effects your maximum headroom. Performance even at stock clocks between the CPUs is within 1-2% of each other so the 3960X just isnt worth it. If it was I would have got the 3960X in a heartbeat.

I didnt just make this stuff up you know and I do have a 3930K that does 5.1Ghz so I have some point of reference!

Interesting. What is your VCORE to get that GHz stable?



Since the FW900 was designed for normal landscape mode and the heat rising, I've modded a super quiet Noctua fan to help move air while they are in portrait mode.



(And yes for you nit-pickers I meant for it to be slightly askew to align with the grate vent holes for mounting)

5.118Ghz 1.56v with ultra high LLC which gives about 1.62v under max load. Max temp is still only 88c but I dont run that 24/7.
I run 24/7 @ 5Ghz at 1.52v with high LLC giving 1.56v under load with max temp of 78c under prime95 after 1hr.
Ofcourse all CPUs are different some better and some worse. Mine i think is slightly better than avg.
