"The latest Intel Core i7 processors are class leading performers and we have already reviewed the i7-3820 and flagship i7-3960X Extreme Edition. Today we are looking at the 3930K which should offer much of the 3960X performance, at almost half the price. To power the system today we thought it was a good time to look at the Asus P9X79 WS Workstation motherboard. This follows in the footsteps of our previous Asus Rampage IV Extreme and P9X79 Deluxe motherboard reviews.
There is no doubt that the Intel Core i7 3960X Extreme Edition is the CPU to rule them all right now, but the asking price of £800+ in the United Kingdom is enough to make grown men cry and credit cards cower in fear. The Core i7 3930K is available for £445 inc vat, which is certainly more palatable. The big question is, can it get close to the 3960X after we trash it to within an inch of its life?"
