Now I know the none K series are not unlocked but from the AnandTech article the none Ks are noted as having limited OC via turbo. The example chart for this used the Core i5 2500. If I am understanding this correctly then a Core i5 2400 using this limited turbo OC its turbo clocks would then be matching a stock Core i5 2500s turbo clocks.
Also is my assumption correct that both the retail Core i5 2400 and Core i5 2500 come with the same HSF? If they are is if safe to assume that since the 2500 can but at those speeds with that HSF that the 2400 will be able to do the same?
I am not really looking to do major OCing and hence not looking at the K series parts. I am hoping to end up with less power draw and heat generation than my current Q6600 and note that I am only running my Q6600 at stock. Pretty sure doing a larger OC would negate that. I also don't want to replace my Corsair HX520 PSU so the factors into the higher power draw as well.
