What CPU should i get if i dont want to overclock?

Oliversisu · Jan 22, 2014

So im looking for a good CPU, not to expensive but a good one that will work for new games in the furture and ofcourse games now. And i'm not going to overclock so is there anyone who have some good CPU out there?

Thanks

I would recommend an i5 3570 or 4670 without the K. K means that it is overclockable, and those are generally more expensive.

How much is not too expensive?

Oliversisu · Jan 22, 2014

Okay, thanks

Oliversisu :

No problem.

Oliversisu · Jan 22, 2014

logainofhades :

I would say about 250 dollars and under.

Oliversisu · Jan 22, 2014

Xexoxix :

What is the differents between 3570 and 4670? witch is best and newest?

Adrian Ocampo · Jan 22, 2014

Oliversisu :

4670 is newer and faster.

Edit:

I would recomend this since it has socket 1150 which is future compatible to Broadwells.

Xexoxix · Jan 22, 2014

Oliversisu :

the 3570 is older and the 4670 is newer. The 4670 has marginally better performance but costs more than the 3570. I would recommend the 3570.

If you have a 1155 mobo buy the 3570, not worth buying a new mobo for the upgrade, if you're buying a mobo too, get the 4670 with the 1150 socket. The price difference between the two isnt too high and you do get say a 10% upgrade in performance, and less power consumption.

Oliversisu · Jan 22, 2014

Okay,yes I am buying a new motherboard because I have a AMD right now so.

Adrian Ocampo · Jan 22, 2014

Oliversisu :

Then go with Socket 1150 and i5 4670

JOOK-D · Jan 22, 2014

Nah. Xeon 1230v3, equivalent to an i7 3770 for under the budget.

logainofhades · Jan 22, 2014

JOOK-D :

^This by far. If you are looking for something for future gaming, and not overclocking, that is the chip to get.

Oliversisu · Jan 23, 2014

So the i5 4670?

Adrian Ocampo · Jan 23, 2014

Oliversisu :

Yes.

Oliversisu · Jan 23, 2014

With one is best? Intel Xeon E3-1230 V2 or the i5 4670?

Adrian Ocampo · Jan 23, 2014

for me 4670 is the best since its going to be upgradble in the future. the xeon e3-1230 will be stuck at lga1155

Oliversisu · Jan 23, 2014

But the xeon is more coolor than the 4670 right? so when playing for a long time Straight the performence will be bad right?

Adrian Ocampo · Jan 23, 2014

Oliversisu :

I guess not with a proper cooling implementation.

Code:

Adrian Ocampo :

Intel might use a new socket after broadwell. The xeon should be good enough for the next time he will be doing a major update(includes MOBO, GPU and ofc CPU).

Oliversisu · Jan 23, 2014

Okay, do you have any good cooling implementation?

logainofhades · Jan 23, 2014

For a 1230 v2, a coolermaster hyper TX3 is sufficient.

Oliversisu · Jan 23, 2014

And for the 4670?

logainofhades · Jan 23, 2014

If you are interested in future titles, don't buy a locked i5. The 1230 v2 is only $13 more than a 4670 and will be better in future titles with better multithread support. We have already seen that with Crysis 3 and BF4 in 64 man campaign mode. THG even recommends an i7 for Crysis 3 with the i5 being the minimum.
