Hi folks


In short....

I'm get too narrowed between this three hi-end CPUs.

5930K vs 6700K vs 5820K....

Which one should recommended between this three and which the most powerful one ???

Mainly i use the PC in Flight simming (P3D)...& i need to get the maximum/smooth/stable performance.


Thx

The 5930k is the best CPU of the 3, it comes with 40 PCIe lanes, 6 cores/12 threads, but comes at a much higher price, $500-600 if I'm correct. Unless you plan on using the 40 PCIe lanes, the 5820k is a plenty fine processor with 28 PCIe lanes so you can do 2-3 way SLI or 2-way with a sound card or some other expansion device. Of the 3, I would personally go with the 5820k. The 6600k is also a high-end processor, but the 2011v3 processors are more geared towards enthusiasts if you fall into that category.

5930K Definitely Takes The Win Against 5820K But With The 6700K......umm Im Not Sure.If You Got Buck You Are In Luck ;)
And I Play FSX And Prepar3D Too.All These CPU Power wont Make a GREAT Difference You Should Be Able To Run It Smoothly I mEan VERY Smoothly Since Its Processor Based Game :D.IVAO ?

The 5820k and the 5930k are essentially the same processor except for the fact that the 5930k has 40 pcie lanes and the 5820k has 28 pcie lanes. They are both more powerful than the 6700k because they have 2 more cores and 4 threads than the 6700k. For your needs I think a 6700k would be enough but the 5820k is only about 30 more dollars so id say go with that. The 5820k is a 6 core monster and its a couple hundered bucks cheaper than the 5930k while essentially being the same processor minus some pcie lanes and its only 30 dollars more expensive than the 6700k. There are some sub 200 dollar motherboards for x99, grab one pair it with the 5820k and enjoy your best pc. Not much cost difference than building a full z170 build these days so might as well go x99. Only buy the 5930k over the 5820k if you're absolutely sure youre gonna need that many pcie lanes for a quad graphics card configuration.
