Dane.bnot even close bro but ok. not like i own the chip and regret my purchase or anything. yes. its a fast chip, but im fairly certain that a 4790k will perform better still without any OC tweaking. my problem with fx cpu's is that they have terrible IPC compared to other chips available in their price range, id take a quad core i7 over an 8 9690 any day of the week.
