Furthermore it out performed the AMD 9k and 8k series cpu. lol

Intel FTW

Still the over clocking boards aren't cheap, if intel had decent Z87/97 boards for under a hundred bucks I can see where its going but for about the same price I can get a 6 core amd fx chip and a msi 970 board that overclocks well.

Alexinnj You can get a B/H board to overclock now too. It changed in the 9 series. And, a cheap Intel board will overclock within 100MHz of the highest end Intel board. With AMD motherboards, it's required to get a decent one in order for it to overclock well. As long as the Intel motherboard can overclock, it will overclock really well. However, AMD is becoming like that too now. 2 years ago it was a completely different story. EDIT: The MSI H97 board only costs 80$ and has OC Genie 4.

Alexinnj you can overclock this on H89/H97 MSI and ASUS Boards. I believe asrock too

I had a similar dream, he gave me this for free: pcpartpicker.com/p/vj9799 I'll be overclocking that 3.4GHz.

Me too. It still does everything I need to do reasonably well. Even 1080p gaming at 60FPS

Okay sorry m8

AMD or intel it doesn't matter

lol why would you buy a 300$ cpu for gaming only anyway? The cpu only matters to a point in games and amd has good athlon offers for that price point too, although the pentium k for what I know currently has the advantage thanks to its high oc capabilities. Just give amd a few months and they'll come up with a crazy unlocked athlon themselves, you'll see.

My 9590 rapes all hahahaha, yes I've had intel. but, I'm an AMD fan boy and have been since the K6 550,

The Policy of course it doesn't matter... if you won't put the cpu's in a system. if you do actually intend to use your cpu however, Intel can nowadays definitely give better bang for your buck in many cases. when I found out about this, I switched from AMD > Intel. of course there are a bunch more benefits, too.

***** When have you last owned an amd gpu? I can assure you that when this year I sobstituted my old nvidia card with an amd one I barely noticed any difference in driver quality. The drivers USED to be bad, now they're very much acceptable.

you broke your cpu...

Your CPU could have been some sort of a charm because there is no way 1.9 volts would not fry a CPU.

BioMoneculaR I donated to LTT. I know this shit.

***** well, i dont care anyways ;-)

It's simple. Brand loyalty and post-purchase justifications. Brand loyalty is something practiced by morons and bad consumers, and said bad consumers always have to think that what they, usually very rashly, decided to purchase is the best in every way with everything else being shit.

StandardsFtw If you looked at benchmarks, Intel is better most of the time.

I dont play minecraft i play recent games maybe not the most demanding, i play mostly css,LoL, other fps games... and some rpgs.

Anderson Adon But is simply being "better" the only contextual notion that matters? No. A 3770k is still a great processor, but if you're gaming you're liable to spend 200 dollars less to get maybe 5 frames less in a game. Spend that 200 dollars you save on a better GPU, and the framerate difference is far from a problem. Intel has a place in the world, but it's not for being cost effective.

StandardsFtw Then get an i3 or an i5, they are enough for gaming and better than AMD's offerings at similar price points. You act like all of Intel's processors are expensive.

Exact same i3 here, shame it's not the same socket.

Well, hyperthreading doesnt help you in gaming anyways... Its actually bad when gaming.

PUNKSDIE I don't think any hyperthreading in the world can outperform the core clock difference of over 1GHz in this case.

PUNKSDIE but if your rendering a lot you probably not running an i3. If you are you build your rig wrong.

Well you sounded like a show off just posting your specs when nobody cares

Maybe, just maybe, before they use the processor they clean the ink away with isopropyl alcohol and _then_ apply the thermal paste and the dissipator.

Uh...do you really think the ink would seep through the metal heat spreader?? And also, I am sure they cleaned it, it was just for quick reference in the image.

Actually it's not printed, it's laser etched onto the heat shield, no it won't cause any issues with heat transfer between the heat shield and the heatsink, the thermal paste is the buffer between those two surfaces.

Do you have evidence that this can happen? It seems odd that ink would be a barrier between the heatsink and the CPU, especially as the thermal paste would stick to the ink exactly the same as it would to the rest of it.

Tracy Gossett...i think thaGkillah was referring to the red sharpie, not the laser etching...

i7 4790k made me stop caring about CPUs

@@Rudenbehr i'm still curious about my experience with i7 4790k + rtx3090 vs ryzen 9 5950X + rtx3090

Deyan Broekman 4790k kinda old for newer gpus.

I have the non k, still going stronk 💪🖥️

@@naamloos1337 oh my LORD LOL, the 4790k will bottleneck the living crap out of the 3090, hell it bottlenecks a 1080Ti, a 3080 will be running like a 1080Ti and the CPU will always be 100%. Anyone running a build like this needs a nice bonk on the head 🤣

First of all, in non mantle supported games amd cpu will be rather bad, because their single core performance is kinda bad. Wouldn't be a problem since there is twice as many of them BUT game performance relies heavily on the 1st core speed (core0). And the first core acts like a general for other cores queuing jobs. If its shit, its shit overall. Thing is right, we have seen games that go "6gb+ ram or gtfo", and we saw "3+ cores or reduced quality (BF)", or even "4+ cores or our physics engine will kill your cpu and half your fps (Star Citizen)" Thanks to new consoles and fairly widespread 4 core usage, we will see more of these. If programmers start making "4cores or gtfo" games it wont matter how extremly fast and overclocked your dual core is, game was programmed for 4+ and it wont start. So if you instead purchased quadcore i5 you are fine, and if you purchased shitty amd cpu. . . . you are also fine yet lower fps. . . .both options beat "i cant even start the game". Then again as a gamer my choice and recommendation would be at least i5, even on a steep budget id recommend to buy i5.

I dont think you're very correct on this. As someone who has an AMD FX chip, not enough games are optimizing for more than 4 cores, if EVEN that many. Games with high entity counts like Wildstar and other big RPGs run like shit at times. I've always asked for games to be more optimized with more cores, but it hardly happens.

Then why is my 8350 at 5.4GHz not killing everything

Not really, you should feel bad that you don't have this modern, overclockable piece of perfection instead :P

my e5300 is just running at 3.14Ghz, i got a biostar MOBO that let me mess with voltage, clocks, and everything. Thats why i feel better about it.

Marco Antonio An unlocked CPU would've been something common (look at AMD) if intel weren't moneygrabbing competition hating assholes. The K sku doesn't need to exist, let alone take out instruction sets between it and normal versions.

Tudorgeable I see your point.

Tudorgeable You realize the only CPUs that are unlocked are the FX series, not ALL AMD CPU, the majority are actually locked, Phenoms, Sempron, Opterons, APUs, etc

... go with a 4670K for gaming.

FlorisStudios he said gaming, not freaking video editing and nasa investigation

Intel i3-4130 , or i5-4430. they're good CPUs

I have a 8350 with a 780 and it performs great.

***** You're kidding right? 4570k Is a amazing gaming chip, with no hyperthreading though Priced close to, but a tad more expensive to the 8350. Though in my opinion, a lot better then the 8350, and the Pentium.

I believe so.

yes, but i dont believe you could overclock it on that platform.. im not sure...

Yes but only after a bios update.

yup, at first Intel said no but some manufacturers said they'll try to include support in the future, but at Devil's Canyon launch Intel themselves said it will be compatible (you will need a BIOS update of course).

yes, with a BIOS update.

You need GPU to properly play games.

NoobInGame i know but in this video they dont specify if they used gpu for those bechmarks

RecruitersGamers Obviously they did. None of Intels integrated GPUs perform even remotely close to the scores in this video.

***** thank you i wasnt sure at all because i was getting 60 fps on minecraft

RecruitersGamers Minecraft is a really easy game to run on intel hd graphics, especially on the 4400, 4600 and up. (Haswell intel hd graphics)

I think its better to focus on better games. :)

What do you mean? I wanted bf4 and crysis because they are multithreaded, there is a 15-20 fps difference between a 3.4ghz i3 and a 3.3 ghz i5. I wanted to see how the Pentium K does in those games :D

Search it in the search bar! XD

Phat Jep it is good.

That's the perfect master race build

It was under FULL (100%) load. I bet you've never put yours for 100% load for a while. Try and see what happens. I don't hate on AMD, no reason to do so whate so ever, but you're not being realistic here. 100% load + overclocking is not a small task for the processor AND YOUR PROCESSOR is a toy compared to this one. It's not NEARLY as powerful as this one so comparing heats between yours and this is useless.

Now run Prime95.

Niko Yokohama if i can get 60-75 fps on bf4 at ultra 1080p no AA with the stock 8320 and the gtx 760 1172MHz 6334MHz are you saying that because my cpu is a "toy" that using the 4790k i will get an extra 30fps???? no? didn't think so. probablly looking at increase in performance of about 5-10% compared with an OCd 8320. i7 4790k is more than 200quid more expensive than an 8320! to me, that is not worth it imo. AGAIN! i know the 8320 is not in the same league as the 4790k, i just think the 8320 has more bang for your buck.

robert whyte games barely utilise cpus, especially higher core cpus. download and run Prime95 for an hour and watch your temps ARISE

notSmashed i was running it for around 40 mins for the 1st time, as it has been suggested that i do so lol ok, so i was like, oh shit! at 1st the temps rose sharply but stabled out at 61c went up to 62c every so often. the surprising thing was my stock fan, it usually goes up to 5900RPM(sounds like a jet engine) when using 3dmark vantage, but here, even at those temps it stayed at around 4000RPM? cant wait to test it again when i get the hyper 212 evo with 1 noctua nf-12 and mx-4 thermal compound.

+Charles “The Hammer” Martel Impossibru!!!!

With right motherboard and right BIOS, you can 'overclock' non-overclockable cpus like i3 and i5 from Skylake.

yea it is you should the watch the office tour he will show all of it

Which one? The kitchen? Yup. They shoot their stuff in a house they use for all things Linus.

Yup, check out the ultimate studio tour I have no idea why they chose to have a kitchen table in the background...weird

Nicktrance1 i think its because of the bench/table thing in the middle its great for build's and show casing stuff just my thoughts anyways haha

jisoetags .trains They can move that wherever they want in the studio so I have no idea why they put it there in the first place.

I don't like you... ;-)

My screen was dirty anyway :P

I had a IPad muhahahah

Clever...bastard. xD

You didn't

But why? As you can see the two chips in the video basically are equal performance, why waste money? I'd go for an I5 TBH.

Not than an I5 for £60 less. :)
