Intel i7-5960X Extreme 3.00GHz (Haswell-E) Socket LGA2011-V3 Processor

Intel's Haswell-E 5960X Extreme processor is the most powerful desktop gaming processor you can get, perfect for gamers, video encoders and professional audio. With a whopping 8 cores which means 16 threads with hyperthreading technology the power on tap is unlimited.

As always Overclockers UK have done some overclock testing and the results are very impressive with speeds of over 4GHz being achieved which for an 8/16 processor is very impressive. We are recommending custom water-cooling loops for people wanting to overclock beyond 4GHz to keep things cool and OcUK has the largest range of in stock DDR4 memory from Avexir, Crucial, Corsair and G.Skill.
