would this be smart upgrade for me
why is my cpu 9% worse than itself?
Glitch in the matrix
You know to much. You shall be exterminated. Pew Pew
Dude your rig is epic
is there anything wrong with having a radeon hd 7870 with this?
I don't see why there would be, But your 8350 is already a powerful processor, I'd stick with that processor for now.
This or 3770k?
Tough decision, but it all depends on your budget.
I would go for this just because it's cheaper-there's almost no difference with this and the 3770K.
Contact Pip for more info.
:D
3770k if you want to OC, if you don't want to then the 3770 is 3% worst than the 3820
Why is that exactly? I understand that the 3820 isn't completely unlocked, but it still OCs very well and the 2011 socket is nice for future upgrades. My 3820 is currently OC'd to 4.7Ghz and I could go higher, just don't really see a point in doing so at this time.
Looking to get a new rig for obvious reasons if you see my rig i am wondering how much will my performance vary in games between this and the I7 3930
your cores awesome
Looking at upgrading to one of these and getting a ASrock motherboard, later on new GPU etc . Whats overclocking like with it?
Semi-locked multi's and high TDP. If you want SB-E just get the 3930K, otherwise the 3770K will do just fine.
Might look at the 3930K then as i understand the "K" means unlocked in intels naming scheme. Wanting a intel 2011 socket motherboared for furture proofing thought this cpu would be a cheap option to start with and a huge step up from AMDs CPUs performance.
Are you doing more than gaming? Because otherwise the 3770k is the better option.
Nah just Gaming. Order socket tho
Awesome CPU! i run this with an Intel XMP and it is super smooth, the only thing i need to upgrade is my hdd to ssd's and my rig will be a beast.
Same here, still need SSD ;)
It will definitely be a great addition :D
I already got it! totaly epic…
Got the ssd's, now it's a BEAST!
intel confuses me with their cpu hierarchy, i understand that i7 are the best but which ones, or are they?, im looking to upgrade my cpu next and i feel that intel is the way to go for gaming.
They really are :D the processor on this page is one of the three best they offer. As far as gaming goes, the i5-3570K, seen here, is a great deal and it will last about 4-5 years with a little OC. i7's are for people who do things like video editing, photoshop, F@H 24/7, and other intensive stuff. The one on this page, along with the i7-3930K and 3960X are only for people that do the aforementioned tasks or need 40 PCI Express 3.0 lanes (like if they have 3 or 4 way SLI 680's). For the i5-3570K, you'll need an LGA 1155 mobo with Z77 chipset. Ask me on my profile page if you have more questions :)
Great answer, thumbs up :)
What actually differentiates the i5 from the i7 series nowadays is the Hyper Threadying. HT does a tremendous job espcially while rendering graphics, videes @1080p resolutions, like you said. But It is no needed for gaming at all. What actually games do want is the the Clock and the Multi-Tasking Instructions. IMHO, Having a 4x SLI/Crossfire is useless. You will never need 4 cards for gaming. 2 Cards is enough. IF you would like to go with heavy stuff that might need the power of thatm you better change the while computer and Get a Xeon CPU + Quadro GPU.. That is my opinion, however :)
it's cheaper than i7-2600 !
:O
na it is same pric as i7 2600K here in SA =D but socket 2011 motherboards are way too exp so I still love my i7 2600K dont worrie TM =DD
Phew, gave me a scare :D
your GD rep gave me a scare! XDD
Ahahaaa :D
Ory, dat was funny :D (it actually rhymed)
hahahaha it did rhyme =DDD I didnt even notice it in my mined XDD
witch is better my cpu or this they both are the same price but this has 10mb l3 cache :/
Hard choice. I think, this one is better. But very,very little.. :P (no offense)
non taken I also think it is slightly better but the mobros ar very exp so not for me =DDD my cpu OCed beats this stock I guess =D
Yeah. Thats apsolutely right. And your CPU is better than mine 58%, so dont worry… Its beast man! Beast!
haha =D your cpu is a beast too bud in games their should be little differince between your cpu and mine =D
Yeah I seriously think i5 is enough for any game these days :)
Let's wait until tomorrow and see if MP3 takes advantage of more than 4 threads :D
Ahahahahaha I have that trouble alot =DDD
