Another quirk with single CCD 7000 chips (which I have as well) is that the infinity fabric limits effective bandwidth to the CPU cores. Even with two channels, you hit diminishing returns with higher speeds, especially if you aren't using the IGP. You can get around it overclocking the IF, but it gets complicated and its much easier to do with 9000 series CPUs. permalink fedilink source parent
