2700k or 3770k :)

Is that the same socket?

 

[KorsKay]

Yes it should be the same socket, but make sure that you bios is updated if you're using any of the older chipsets.

Herp derp. No, 3930K isn't the same socket as 2500K. 3930K needs an LGA2011 motherboard. And no, it wouldn't benefit the OP's gaming performance in the least.

My suggestion: buy your grandma a new pair of disco pants.

I'd love to get a 3930k but my wife would saw my testicles off I'd i spent that much on a CPU. She already has one of my balls in a jar.

Is what the same socket? 3930k? If thats what you're asking about then no its not. But if you want to actually upgrade instead of sidegrade, then 3930k is the only choice. At least it would provide a huge jump in multithreaded performance. For gaming though, um, a little boost is what you'll see for some games.

My grandma is 92 and has Dementia and doesn't dance much.

Sup dudes, I've got the money and the itch to upgrade my CPU but I'm stuck between the i7 2700k or the i7 3770k.
The rest of my system is fine and I have an ivy ready z68. I like clocking at 4.5GHz and I am not a fan of heat.

Is ivy worth the extra? The Anandtech benches seem about even.

If your not a fan of heat, stay away from Ivy Bridge if your going to OC.

Pick up the 2700k Sandy much cooler chip, and a better OCer you can get 5Ghz with this. gl

5Ghz? Maybe one in a 1000.

IB produces less heat. You confuse heat and temperature.

 

[tweakboy]

Oh really Shintai I heard they get really HOT for people ?

I always heard Ivy gets hotter then Sandy.. hmmmmmm maybe 5 percent faster @ same OC 4.6Ghz... gl

You should try ask people with IB how hot it gets instead of listening to a few rumours.

I was just waiting for somebody to state this.

We know what he means. It doesn't need corrected in every ivy thread as it just hijacks the thread. Bottom line is Temps are harder to control compared to Sandy.

It does need corrected every time. Misinformation is bad mmmk?

£10 difference between the 2 chips on Amazon

My 3570K does 4.6ghz with reasonable voltage (<1.3) and draws around 30w less power - and thus creates 30w less heat at full load - than a Sandy Bridge at the same clock.

30w is a drop in the bucket though, and it's going to be far less than that at idle. Klunt, it's really a complete waste of time swap out your chip, find something more meaningful to spend your money on.

 

[Kaldorine]

This guy is very persistant and wants to throw his money away for nearly no increase over a 2500k.

 

[tweakboy]

LMAO. no but seriously newegg.com is whack. I was checking

and a 2700k is 280. and a 2600k is 300 dollars ..... Ivy forgot which model was 280..

Im speaking dollars sorry...

 

[SickBeast]

Why 2700k and not 2600k?

Ivy Bridge, hotter than the sun:

Too late, I've pulled the trigger!**3770k coming tomorrow. 🙂

Since you're going forward on a dubious upgrade (which is fine with me, as I've blown more cash than that on hookers and blow type fun 🙂, go all the way and delid it and get some liquid metal pro under the IHS. This'll get the IB temps under control for some real overclocking fun, since you know this is what it all about.. FUN (and yes, $300ish is reasonable for something done purely for fun).. The heat issues should go away with getting out the cheap grey Intel junk under the IHS. I did the same sidegrade with a 2600K to 3770K and delidded it just for fun (too bad ASUS screwed me with the compatibility of the p67 motherboard I have, but that's a different story).

No you wont see shit for gains in games and you really aint going to care or notice the 3 sec speed difference in unzipping the 2GB password protected porn file you have hidden in the xzy\subfolder of your temp directory (I got one too!). But I understand it's sometimes just fun to do something just to do it if you have the means and time.

FYI though, my main is a 3960K socket 2011, so the other PC's are all just playgrounds to have fun with.
