Athlon X4 750k vs 760k

Solution
I have the 750k bought in december 2012 when the 760k wasn't released yet. I guess it's ok to choose the 760k because it has a base frequency of 3800MHz. I've set the turbo frequency on my 750k to 4000MHz (3400MHz original) but i spent 40$ extra on an aftermarket heatsink and thermal compound. So, you better spend just 10 extra $ for the 760k if you're planning to use it at stock frequency with the stock heatsink.

The 760k ocs better being richland core vs the trinity 750k, I wouldnt put to much faith in that site either, on hwbot the average oc of 760k is near 150mhz higher on air. The 760k is worth the extra few $$s imo.

I don't focus on the OC frequencies on that page. That to me is irrelevant because there are thousands of different results when it comes to OC. The standard features is the important which why that is a good site to use.
