Got a bad 5600G from NewEgg, waiting for “replacement” as they don’t do refunds. Sure hope this doesn’t take forever. Never had a bad board, SSD, DRAM or Intel CPU from NewEgg. I know it wasn’t a returned/reboxed product as I bought mine the day it was released. Been using i7 4790k’s since...

I run @ stock on one Workstation, and 4.4GHz on my second workstation. ASRock Rack Workstation boards w/ enthusiast chipsets. Z97/H97M WS, etc. I’d probably kick up an i9 12900K by 400MHz. Depends how well my Triple Barrel fans and 1U HSF work. I can get -15C in a 1U but it’s loud as a Hoover...

I’ll gladly suffer the TDP for double the single core performance on my i7 4790k’s. 810 is insane in R20. Last time I paid 1 large for a CPU was a 1GHz Coppermine. Come a long way since my first custom build.
