Included is a working i7 5960x processor capable of a 4.5ghz on this motherboard. Motherboard is functional (all dimms work no bent pins) please note that the first pcie slot is NOT usable as it has been removed carefully. Everything else on the board works as intended. You must use the 2nd or 3rd pcie slot which can provide full pcie gen 3 x16 speeds despite the first slot being removed.
