The difference with this two are the X and the K.


That's pretty much it.

as someone said before : " If u Don't know Their Differences , Then u don't need them "

The diff is exactly 100mhz and 3 megs l3 cache .. that is all they are both unlocked and to be honest they are blazingly fast..

i would go with 3930k,overclock it and i am sure it will dewstroy 3936x.EE cpus are overpriced IMO.990x is a good example.it was $1k(same as 3960x)but now 2500k($225)can beat it in gaming.so no need to spend $1k on cpu.
