Slightly Overclocked
The 3960X has about the same overclocking headroom as a 2600K but it does run a little bit higher wattage as you scale higher.
The hole spacing is the same as the socket 1366 proving some support for older third party coolers. This is what you can expect when paired with the Intel Active Thermal Solution RTS2011LC. |
Socket 2011
The Intel® Core™ i7 processor family for the LGA-2011 socket is the next generation of 64-bit, multi-core desktop processor built on 32-nanometer process technology. Based on the low-power/high performance Intel® Core™ i7 processor micro architecture, the processor is designed for a two-chip platform as opposed to the traditional three-chip platforms (processor, MCH, and ICH). The two-chip platform consists of a processor and the Platform Controller Hub (PCH) and enables higher performance, easier validation, and improved x-y footprint.
