can you try fritz chess benchmark? http://www.chess.com/download/view/fritz-12-benchmark no need to install

just an air cooler and with auto settings only. I don't have x99, can you put your 1680v2 against 5960X and see who is faster with same speed? I think the 1680v2 will win on most benchmarks because it has more cache?

Yes i got one too and it is unlocked, I posted it on my personal website at www.cpubios.com But one thing i don't know is that how is it when compared with 5960X on performance.

thank you all for your input. i am going to buy a HP workstation and test it out myself. It is rare that a CPU is out for more than half a year and still dont have overclock result. Lets hope i can be the first one to test and have no problem booting and overclock the cpu!

The price of the 1680v2 is even more expensive than the 5960X, it should have something special, i think. And yes i will let you know if i bought one.

Yes you are right, no one have it in stock also but only listing. So I would have to buy the HP Z420.

Are you sure it is locked? If so I am not going to get one.

i would like to get one, but can this overclock?? This cpu has been out for half year already but still no overclock result.
