In the other thread, I was talking about WD2 CPU optimization and someone told me it would be better to get a 3rd gen i7. I hadn't thought about that, but it sounds very economical.
I did some reading, and Wikipedia lists the i5 3330 and i7 3770 at 77W TDP.
Does this mean, when both processors run at 100% load with the exact same cooling solution (same heatsink/fan etc), they should roughly be at around the same temperature? Cause my i5 3330 with stock cooling currently runs at about 70C when gaming the latest games (up to 75C when I stress test the CPU only), I don't want to be in a position where I buy the i7 3770 and it ends up running at 80-90C.
Thanks!
