don't get intel haswell

papilaya · Apr 5, 2014

i founded a lot of people said that don't get intel haswell on google....they said only slightly better than fx 8350 & more expensive & also less headroom overclocking....many overclocking intel haswell got unstable....is that true??

13thmonkey · Apr 5, 2014

depends which haswell.

i5 loses to 8350 most of the time. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/697?vs=837

but the i7 wins easily. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/697?vs=836

single thread intel is better.

i dont know where you get those info. but its not true at all and about overclocking on haswell is unstable is those people who dont know how to overclock. haswell cpu has only heat issue

13thmonkey · Apr 5, 2014

I'd say that haswell's heat issue is only compared to sandybridge, it's either cooler or has more heat headroom than amd.

I dont know about that its luck of the draw with overclocking some go higher than others . I would take a haswell over fx 8350 personally. They both have there strengths and weaknesses. I will admit that the fx is better value for money. But i like intel there sockets are better i find them to be more reliable as well especially when overclocked.

papilaya :

Get whichever is cheapest.

Dunlop0078 · Apr 5, 2014

^ With an aftermarket cooler of course.

TR0n_A · Apr 5, 2014

Dunlop0078 :

Intel's stock coolers are pretty decent. AMDs aren't.

Dunlop0078 · Apr 5, 2014

Dont get whichever is cheapest thats a terrible mentality to have when buying any computer parts do some more research and get whichever is best for what you plan to do with your computer.

i already decided to get i7 4770k tomorrow but after i search on google about unstable overclock & now i'm confuse...should i get i7 4770 non k or go with fx 8350, i'm lazy to get fx 8xxx is that motherboard is almost dead

Dunlop0078 · Apr 5, 2014

Yah the intel fan will keep it cool until you decide to overclock then they get loud and struggle to keep it cool.

TR0n_A · Apr 5, 2014

papilaya :

i7 4770K is better than FX 8350.

papilaya · Apr 5, 2014

maybe fx 8350 only better than i7 4770k in multitasking coz fx 8350 got 8cores and the other would be i7 wins

TR0n_A · Apr 5, 2014

Dunlop0078 :

I should have been clearer. I mean get which is cheapest between those 2 because the performance isn't that different.

papilaya · Apr 5, 2014

what cpu are best for gaming & downloading or a lot of tab browsing internet at the same time??
i7 4770k or fx 8350 ??

sunder25 · Apr 5, 2014

What are you planning to do with the pc?
Or do you want to overclock just for the fun of it?

sunder25 · Apr 5, 2014

papilaya :

Anything above i3/fx 6300 will probably handle that.

papilaya · Apr 5, 2014

i want to play a game while download some hd movie or streaming youtube....im gonna run 2 monitor...that's it

General multitasking -> FX 8350 (more physical cores)
Gaming -> i5/i7 (better single threaded performance)

Multitasking might actually be just a bit close for both, but in heavier multitasking situations I can see the FX 8350 being ahead of the i7. Just my $.02

sunder25 · Apr 5, 2014

Get an i5 4670k and a z87 chipset asus mobo.
Gamingwise you'll need a good graphics card, get a 770 gtx, or r9 280x

sunder25 · Apr 5, 2014

The Letter Mu :

Having firefox open while in a game is not multitasking.
Another 2 cents.

papilaya · Apr 5, 2014

@sunder25 ohhh realy i3 or fx 6300 would be enough to do that?? so fx 8350 or i7 4770k or even i5 4670k will be wasting money for gaming while multi tab browsing??

sunder25 · Apr 5, 2014

With most current games, save for processor intensive ones, yes.
IF you have money, i suggest getting an i5 though, it will play ANYTHING on ultra and will do so in the future aswell,-provided you have a good enough GPU.

papilaya · Apr 5, 2014

of cours gtx 770 will be my favorite choise...coz gtx 780 in my country is hard to find....those r9 280x/290/290x also has many issue that i found on the internet and also difficult to find in my country...almost every shop in my country got sold out amd R9

The Letter Mu · Apr 5, 2014

I would consider two tasks: multitasking. I'm sure RAM would play a bigger part in several Firefox tabs, but who's to say he won't end up running other programs alongside his games like Skype, or another game?

And wait, nobody asked what games he'll be playing. Which ones? That'll decide how much you should even be spending. Which does he care more about? Gaming performance or more tabs and programs running at once? If it's about 50/50 then either CPU will suffice.
