I'll stick with my old Z77-board and Ivy Bridge i5 3570K @ 4.5GHz until something really interesting is showing up. I'm not interested in flagship CPU's that cost $999 (or more) which will be absolutely wasted money when the tock showing up 6 months later present us with price/performance choices that are overclockable, in the right price range and runs games and apps just as well as those $1K CPU's with more cores than sense.

Disappointing overclockability on these things, my 5820K will last probably forever.

Probably because they were never meant for overclocking in the first place.

I don't know why people are so upset. Everyone knew this would be like this. If you want 2011-v3 now is probably the time to pickup the outgoing better value haswell-e CPU's before they are eliminated and you are forced to pay higher. A 5930k is cheaper then a 6850k so if you need the 40 lanes the choice is obvious. Although even a 5820k most have enough PCIE lanes. One 16x for a GPU, and two slots downrated to 4/4 for RAID NVME/m.2
