Tweak Town’s Intel Core i7 5960X OC Guide

Because overclocking is not something that comes naturally to everyone, getting a little help is always appreciated. Steven Bassiri over at Tweak Town was nice enough to put together an OC guide of the new Intel Core i7 5960X Extreme Edition on X99 platform.

X99 Features: Up To Date Connectivity

One thing that you need to look at very closely before buying a new motherboard for your next PC DIY project is the onboard available connectivity.

Next Generation SATA Express Connector GIGABYTE X99 series motherboards feature an onboard SATA Express connector which provides performance far superior to that of current SATA technologies. SATA Express features data transfer rates of up to 10Gb/s, considerably higher than SATA Revision 3 (6Gb/s), which won’t bottleneck faster NAND flash technologies in cutting edge SSDs.
