Bumpity. Think I'm about maxing out on my clocks with this. Any higher and I start getting artifacts even with voltage bumps. Got to 1125 core and 1600 memory clock with a +30mv voltage bump.

Stock 390's are 1000/1500 and this one was 1040/1500 out of ths box. Score on the left ran at 1000/1500 and on the right is 1125/1600. Furmark scores improved from 4684 at 1000/1500 to 5393 at 1125/1600. So Valley bench was a 7.4% increase and Furmark was 15%. Pretty damn good performance jump for overclocking.

AMD processors haven't excited me for many years.
Could've guessed from your username. ;)

I'm looking forward to seeing what the new Zen platform brings. I'm by no means an AMD fanboy but it would be good to get some competition going. Intel's getting expensive. I notice Skylake is quite a bit more expensive than the previous generation.
 
Skylake's only expensive if you get the 6700k. Personally, I'm not a fan of getting Intel's regular consumer stuff. Their "enthusiast" stuff is where it's at (X99 ftw!).

The i5 6600K is quite a bit more expensive than the previous generation 4690K was when it was brand new 12-18 months ago I think. In the UK at least the i5 6600K costs just a hair under £200 which is just a bit less than the old i7 4790K cost brand new 12-18 months ago (they were about £220). I paid £160 for my i5 2500K in March 2012 and the 3570K, 4690K and the 4690K also cost about that when they were new. This 3770 I'm using now was about £220 brand new in May 2012. The 6700 costs £260 and the 6700K is £275.

Also with the price hikes is the fact that each new iteration is usually a semi marginal improvement over the previous.

Intel needs competition bad, they've stagnated hard because they're dominating the market. When your competition is at best an 8350 for several years, you don't have to try very hard. :P

Exactly. This is why Zen had better be good!
