Chip 3.4 4 BX80646I74770K

I recently ordered this CPU for my new rig I was building and always seem to get great things from Amazon and Intel. Intel never ceases to amaze me with they're great performing CPU's. I upgraded from an AMD 8350 which was a very very beast CPU but had to try the forbidden fruit of Intel's Haswell line of CPU's. It overclocked to a stable 4.5 with no issues what so ever, I gained about 25FPS-30FPS in all games for the most part and my computer just runs smooth with 0 issues. That's the key here is I have not had a single hiccup or crash yet! Pros: - Runs Cooler than my previous CPU. I was around 40c idle and 60c under full load with the 8350 even with my Liquid setup. The Intel runs 28c idle and 51c-52c under full load, so not a huge difference but honestly cooler is better. - I gained alot of FPS and over all Smoothness with upgrading to this CPU, now I didn't have the best motherboard money could buy with my AMD but it wasn't the lowest. With the Intel I made sure I spent a good amount on the Mobo and its made a huge difference from what I could tell. - I almost doubled my Benchmark scores from the previous AMD CPU which blew my mind, I was worried that upgrading to this and spending $280 on a new CPU and $200 on my Mobo that the performance difference would not be worth it. Well I was wrong cause its night and Day, no offense to AMD cause I still love the hell out of AMD. They are still great if you don't have the money to dish out on an Intel setup. Cons: - These CPU's are expensive and if you want the best performance then you will want to buy a top of the line Motherboard to go along with it. So just that alone can cost you $500+ - Non that I can think of at the moment besides the money side of things, Like I have said before its been perfect the whole time with no issues other than my wallet was a bit lighter after the purchase. :) Specs on the Build I put together: Intel 4770k i7 3.5Mhz OC @ 4.5Mhz MSI GD65 Z87 Gaming Motherboard G.Skill 8gb 2x4gb sticks @ 12800 / 1600Mhz Nvidia GTX 680 2gb SuperClocked Edition (Already had this) PNY Signature 120gb SSD WD Blue 500gb HD @ 7200rpm Avermedia Live Gamer HD - Capture Card EVGA 650w Gold Rated PSU Fractal Design - Define R4 (non-windowed) Case (BTW Best case on the Market!)

Long time AMD fan. Last Intel CPU was Pentium 133Mhz. My last rig bit the dust and i decided to get something that didnt feel "good enough" but that felt like it could do anything, for the next few years. Running Windows 8 on my AMD rig was a chore, in its defense the A75M isnt Win8 certified/approved. My last platform was: A8-3850 Asrock A75M 8GB Mushkin DDR3 12800 1600Mhz AMD 6570 HD Mushkin 120GB SSD Rosewil Redbone atx case some 500/550 watt psu BD burner New rig (ne items not mentioned are carried from above): i7-4770k Corsair H80i closed loop liquid cooling Asrock Z87 Extreme 4 16GB Kingston hyperX Beast (2x8GB) 2133Mhz RAM MSI GeForce GTX 660 ti 3GB GDDR5 This processor consistently shows about 2x the performance of AMD leading CPU/APU, of course at 2x the cost. ITS WORTH IT. Single thread apps are way faster, and this processor can out-perform an 8 core AMD CPU in multi-threaded apps. Overclocking: I was able to easily get this to 4.4Ghz stable. Some people get upto 4.7/4.8 even 5.0. I guess i got an averagish CPU. Very much luck of the drawl. Could also be MB limitations. Tried 4.6 and couldnt get it to boot. Still 25% overclock isnt bad. With corsair h80i temps at full load barely touch 70 celcius but typically temps are in the 30's-40's. Gaming it touches 50's. Highly recommend. AMD is great if your an average computer user, internet, email, office. If you do any gaming, media encoding, or adobe/advanced productivity there is not an AMD cpu at this time that comes close. Ill follow up after about 6 months, i fully expect to be even happier with it by then.

Sure it's only 10-15% faster than Ivy Bridge, but so was the upgrade from Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge! Some may say it's overpriced and AMD is cheaper and a better use of money. Remember, you get what you pay for ;) I upgraded from a AMD 1100T, a six core CPU based on the Phenom II architecture which is equal to the newer AMD offering, piledriver, in everything but core count. Boy, the difference is night and day. Single threaded applications are nearly twice as fast, and multithreaded performance is about 35% faster, even with 2 less physical cores. But, AMD has more cores! and a higher clock speed! That doesn't mean a thing in this time and world. Best way i can explain it, but keep in mind, I'm no car expert: Intel being a 4 bigger sized cylinder engine, running at a slightly lower RPM, giving out a huge amount of torque. AMD being a 8 smaller sized cylinder engine, running at a higher RPM, giving out an equal amount of torque as the intel. Ah, and the integrated graphics, the HD 4600 doesn't **** around! It can play Battlefield 3 at 40-50FPS at 720p on low/medium settings and max out games at their intended resolution (1200p for me) like Modern Warfare 2 or games utilizing the source engine, like Half Life 2 or Garry's Mod, and Portal 2 too.

Gran rendimiento y, a diferencia de otros comentarios en uso normal la temperatura del CPU con overclock a 4.5GHz es de 34º (Disipador TH Macho rev.a en una carcaza Antec P280). Cuando lo pongo en tests de rendimiento no pasa de 70º, y eso pocas veces. Tendría que elevar el reloj a 4,8 GHz para ponerle en un aprieto, cosa que no haré porque me vale perfectamente con esta velocidad. Lo tengo con el SO Mavericks, y tengo mi antigua máquina de windows en un entorno virtual con VmWare. Memoria del sistema 16GB de RAM( Corsair de bajo perfil a 1.833Mhz), tarjeta: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UDH5.

Super powerful and fast processing. Works like a dream. Definitely worth the price. Clocks in at 3.5 ghz. 4.5 Ghz with my GTX 780 lightening the load in the graphics department. Arrived in 2 days!

Histoire de ne pas répéter ce qui à déjà été dit, voici la consommation d'un PC composé de ce core i7 4770K sur carte mère Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H. 2 disques SSD en RAID 0 qui ne consomment quasiment rien. Pas de carte graphique séparée. (mesurée avec une prise wattmètre Leroy Merlin) -> idle (repos) : 55 Watts -> / navigation Internet: le pc consomme 60 à 75 W avec quelques brefs pics à 105/120 et de très très rares à 150. -> En charge @ 3,9 GHz (Turbo Boost): ca peut monter par moment à 249. -> OC @ 4,4 GHz : 350 Watts en stress avec l'outil Intel "Extreme Tuning Utility" - 69 watts en idle Pour les températures: voir mon commentaire sur le ventirad be quiet! Dark Rock PRO 2: be quiet! Dark Rock PRO 2 Ventirad double tour 7 caloducs 2 ventilateurs SilentWings 135mm/120mm C'est donc une machine dépourvue de carte graphique énergivore qui me permet de faire tourner - dans un silence absolu - une dizaine de machines virtuelles simultanément sans sourciller et à la fois un pc économe pour la navigation Internet et les taches courantes. Le tout en 1920x1200 extrêmement fluide avec l'aéro de Windows 7. J'espère ne pas changer avant une dizaine d'années. Je n'ai pas testé les jeux mais cela semble possible. cf. Google. --------------------------- Avec notamment: ------------------------------ - 32 Go de RAM 1600 - une carte mère qui exploite la puce graphique embarquée dans ce processeur - deux disques SSD HyperX en RAID 0. - une alim absolument inaudible: Bequiet! Straight Power E9-CM-480W (certifiée 80+, ce qui doit aider à baisser la conso) - un ventirad Bequiet! Dark Rock Pro 2 dont un ventilo à été enlevé (le 120) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Coté perfs, j'ai essayé l'overclocking avec un coef 43 (Gigabyte Z87X-D3H) mais je n'ai pas noté d'amélioration avec une charge de 10 machines virtuelles. Je pense que c'est surtout bon pour les benchs, les gamers, les victimes du marketing en quête de pouillèmes de mieux OU ceux qui ont besoin du plus performant pour être heureux. (du pain bénit pour les fabricants et l'industrie qui pillent la planète...) :-) Et la conso s'envole de 100 watts supplémentaires..... Voire un total en charge de 500 à 700 ou plus encore avec les cartes graphiques idoines qui vont généralement avec. (au passage, préférez la mise en veille prolongée ou l’arrêt complet du pc qui sont les deux seuls modes dans lesquels le pc ne consomme pas une fois éteint. La veille simple consomme quelques watts en permanence, même quand le pc vous parait éteint)

i5-4570SのLenovo ThinkCentreE73 スリムPCに乗せ換えました。 (電源は既に特殊ケーブルを介して300Wに交換してあります。) 際限の無いPCのバージョンアップを自制するため、昔からメーカー製のPCを買うことにしていますが、 やはりバージョンアップしたい病にかかってしまいました。 効果ですが、なんとなくWindwsの応答速度・反応が良くなった気がします。また、 FF14イシュガルドベンチではディスク(SSD)アクセスが25secから20secに減少しました。 どうせなら最上位のi7-4790Kに交換したいところですが、発熱の問題と、 割高すぎるのでこちらにしました。Sofmapの星5つコンディションの中古を買いましたが、 殻割りされているでもなく新品同様でした。i7-4790Kの約90%の性能、最新の第７世代 i7-7700Kから比べても約75%程度の性能があるのでまだまだ余裕で使えますし、程度が良く 安い中古なら買いと思います。 せっかくKシリーズのため、ついでにオーバークロックできるかと思っていましたが、 1150ソケットで Z87 or Z97チップセットを積んだマザーでないと基本的にオーバークロック できないことを知り、またこれらチップセットのマザーは極一部を除いて市場から消えており 残っている製品は割高なようです。今後PCをバージョンアップする時には全て買い直しですね。

Bought this CPU as part of my new Gaming PC i've built (First build ever). At first I was planning on going for an i5 simply because the performance in games compared to this cpu isn't "Drasticly" different but when it comes to multitasking and video rendering/editing you honestly can't go wrong with this. The stock speed is 3.50GHz like its stated, i've got mine running at a stable overclock of 4.5GHz and it's ridiculously quick. This CPU alongside decent ram, you'll have apps running flawlessly quick, open apps & web pages instantly. My PC: CASE: Corsair 750D Full ATX Windowed Case MOBO: MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming Motherboard (Originally ordered from Amazon but part didn't arrive so I got a refund.) CPU: i7 4770k @4.5GHz GPU: EVGA Nvidia GTX 780 Ti SC 3GB RAM: Kingston XMP Beast Series 16GB 2400MHz DDR3 RAM SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD HDD: WD 1TB CPU COOLER: Corsair H100i extreme liquid cooler PSU: Corsair AX1200i Professional Series Digital Fully Modular I've got all this running on my Asus VG248QE 24-inch 3D 144Hz LED Monitor to give the super smooth & sharp graphical image. All in all, this CPU is a godsend. Absolutely perfect, runs cool on the H100i, no problems installing it onto the MOBO, chews through everything you throw at it and will still take more... The intergrated graphics is really good too! Can run new games at the 30-50~ FPS mark depending on your graphical settings. I've tested the graphics on games such as World of Warcraft and it can handle it incredibly well. Got constant 80+ FPS with AA on, Shadows and most of the other settings at Ultra settings.
