This CPU I initially with a Noctua NH-U12S and afterwards
cooled with the NH-D14.
For performance of the CPU:
The CPU can keep up to date with all Ivybridge and Haswell CPU `s.
(3570K / 3770K / 4670K / 4770K)
Bring the i7 more power only in applications. ;)
Who bought this CPU, which has bought good in the long run.
In several tests in games, is the difference between Sandy and Ivy to Haswell
so marginal that even magazines / websites advise you not to change.
Because PCI Express 2.0 to 3.0 does not bring any measurable performance gains.
Only alone, the reamed graphics unit of Ivy / Haswell and consumption isstock
appreciably.
Because funnily consume the new 22nm CPUs overclocked (the Internet on 4.5GHz tested)
more watts as the Sandy Bridge CPUs.
In addition, quite a few 4770K reach example. The 4.500MHz with low voltages.
The risk is quite high, a "OC-crutch" to catch and to be angry then. ;)
I have the 2500K operated at 4.8GHz (Malaysia batch, 1.35V / under load max. 65 ° C in the Prime95 test)
and can only say that all current games (BF3 / 4 + 1-3 Crysis, Metro 2033 + Last Light,
Bioschock 1-3) ran super together with the GB GTX770 OC and afterwards. EVGA GTX 780 Classified of.
The CPU remains significantly cooler compared to Ivy- and Haswell processors!
A so called "heads" of the CPU is unnecessary and a good air cooler is absolutely sufficient.
Who does not perform intensive video / image editing, here has a very good CPU time or
bought today.
Can the CPU only recommend (also from Max-OC view) and this would be the Ivy / Haswell generation
prefer, except to build a new "rig" on.
PS: Intel has MMN thus created a legendary CPU here, considering this is more than 3 years
on the market and keeps today's loose with with Haswells.
