Hello,
I'm slowly amassing a list of parts for a new rig (gaming/audio editting). Yes I want hyperthreading so i5 is out. As far as processors go, which would be better with respect to the following critera:
1) Average temperatures (idle and load)
2) Power usage
3) Future proofing
I will not be overclocking either one of these. I'm looking for a solid processor that runs great without OCing. I have heard some weird things about the 4930k's heat spreader, namely that the 4930k idles at a hotter temp. (RIght now I'm using an i7 860 at stock speeds with stock cooler and I idle in the low 30C's.
Also assume money is not an issue.
Thoughts between these two? I'm looking for general pros and cons.
Thanks!
