Q: can this run tony hawk pro skater 2

HH can this run tony hawk pro skater 2" Perfect

Q: Should i buy a liquid cooler for it?

I have the Intel i9 7980xe cpu and it does well with the Noctua NH-15 air cooler with moderate overclocking. The i9 7960x should do well with this Air cooler.

Q: Is this compatiable with Windows 8.1 or does it require Windows 10?

no windows 7 and 8.1 will not run properly on any x299 platform. there have been numerous reports of people running windows 7 and 8.1 but having issues such as updates and various others. the only windows version that will run properly on the x299 platform is windows 10. microsoft told intel to make ALL kabylake and skylake -x processors incompatable with all windows versions prior to windows 10.

Q: is this a skylake chip

While Technically yes, the actual answer is no, because they rebranded all the skylake processors int the X-series of processors. But if you're wanting to know if this is part of the family formally known as Skylake.. Yes it is.

Very high price

This is 4 years old and priced very high compared to 10th and 11th gen cpu. Even 9th gen is cheaper.In this amount less 30k you can end up with 10980xe cpu, if you purchase from right seller.Moreover, I think this 7th gen cpu are not in supported list for windows 11.

Zeer krachtig

Vlotjes geleverd zonder problemen, alle fabriek zegels in orde. Afgeleverd in niet doorzichtige verpakking. Zijn geld waard voor zij die het nodig hebben.

I am happy I made the move

I originally ordered a 7980XE Back on October 20th, and after waiting almost a month, with no ETA, I canceled and ordered a 7960X instead. I am happy I made the move, and I let's face it, 16 cores is a better sounding number than 18.. heh! I also believe that the 7960 will be able to overclock better. I have so far been running 4.64 GHz, all cores for 4 days now without issue. Using 1.2 Vcore I believe, and loads Prime 95 somewhere in the low 80s. Awesome chip, and noticeably faster than my 5960X (oced at 4.6Ghz) for video editing. Single core performance is pretty similar too. Would recommend this chip, if you can afford it that is and you are partial to Intel.
