I figured it out. The once useless gaming CPU has found its purpose. I am, right now, encoding a massive gameplay video for youtube, uploading a finished one, and playing BF3 on ultra all at the same time. All 12 threads cranking over 80%, temps hit 70c max and FPS doesn't go below 35 on the worst maps with 64 players. Multitasking beast. Oh, total system RAM usage 5.5gigs.
 
Even when i had my 3930k subsystem,i could never find myself multitasking when gaming just for the pure performance i aimed for and when i did game i found so little benefit that i went back to my i5 2500.

Was much more excited going from a dual core to a quad core,then again with my computer having been turned into a htpc of sorts,the 3930k couldn't have worked even if i wanted it to.

670SLI @ 1080p 120hz. I don't ever play like this. I want the best performance, but I just figured i'd try to play while encoding and was surprised to see it floating around 50-60fps most of the time. On B2K maps the performance was worse, but I played an entire caspian game at around 60+fps while encoding. It was fun to really stress the CPU and see it hold up.
 
Whenever I play games I always close everything off before.

I do not encode anyway or have the internet open while playing a game. Looks like the latest and greatest CPU would be overkill for me.
 
good to know. i don't game or encode a lot... but on the occasions i do, nice to know i can just do queue everything up and go about my business!

I have an i3 2120 right now.

Waiting for haswell reviews to come out. Once Haswell comes out then I have to decide what to buy considering my needs.

Do you (all 3930K owners) think that the 3930K and the socket2011, is "the next Q6600", as far as platform longevity goes? Considering how Intel seems not to want to increase core counts on their consumer CPU line for some time.
