is there an Intel cpu i74770k small boxed retail without a fan heat sink?
the guy in the shop is sure he got a i7 4770k retail small box revision/edition
by Intel without a fan? i google it but did not find anything except
that intel made the retail and the tray oem edition and i wont buy the
oem
 
Solution
No those are the only two 4770k's the retail and tray versions. Retail comes with the heat sink. The only intel processors that do not come with a heatsink in the retail box are the 2011 sockets. Tray's are always OEM

That is the boxed fanless I believe but they don't appear to be sold to the general public. Every once in a while they do show up on some websites and occasionally a store but generally not the normal channels (newegg etc.) and generally for the same price as the one with the fan.

Any particular reason you want one without the fan? The difference is usually at most $15 if there is one.

final conclusion :
BXF80646I74770K is a boxed retail oem edition . so its an oem
prove :
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/inte...-turbo-1250mhz-gpu-35x-ratio-84w-retail-w-o-h
here you go when they say on the same page its a retail then down below they say this :
Technical Specification
Heatsink: None
Package Type: OEM
meaning : they are not lire , the BXF80646I74770K commercially is a retail but technically is an oem
lets see :
http://www.aeri.com/pn/INTEL/BXF80646I74770K/
Standard Package ID: OEM Packaging
here we get a different opinions but yet still proves its an oem in retail box
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Core-...LGA-1150-/261392475175?_trksid=p2054897.l4275
Condition:Brand New Factory Sealed with Full USA Warranty
Package TypeRetail so at top web they say different things
another web :
http://www.compsource.com/pn/BXF80646I74770K/Intel-211/
Intel Core I7 I7-4770k 3.50 Ghz Processor - Socket H3 Lga-1150 - Quad-Core (4 Core) - 8 Mb Cache
I7-4770K LGA1150 3.50G 8MB BOX - FANLESS
Package Type Retail
so we can say we dont know or is my bad luck or its a retail patch or its oem in small box
instead of the plastic cover or the way i see it , its an oem in a retail box but still not the
original retail . so am dumping it .
 


Like video editing or 3D model design. Gaming doesn't really make use of RAM speeds over 1600 MHz. Normally because of that I would suggest getting a cheaper 1600MHz kit or the like but based on you website you linked and the prices on it the I would get the kit 2400MHZ you linked originally because apparently you don't have the same variation in price between speeds that we do here in the US. All your prices are roughly the same not enough difference to matter.
 


Overclocking. Your Mobo should detect the xmp profile and set your RAM up correctly but if you were so inclined you could get a hair more performance by overclocking. not much though out of the RAM.

i found out after some experience with ocing that its not worth it with ram or gpu only
few fps more , lots of messing with gpu fan speeds and original clock speeds
specially the factory ocied gpus .
well the cpu is another issue that is why i got the i7 4770k with a water cooler
 


Ya I agree with you on that one lot of work for a little payout. Remember though that Haswell has the integrated memory controller so if you are having a little bit of stability issues OC your CPU the underclocking your RAM slightly may help you. You won't lose any performance unless you go way low on the RAM speed or have really loose timings.
 


Not quite. What I am saying is for ex. You have a 4.4GHz OC (2400MHz RAM) no crash on the CPU and it does 4.5 (2400 RAM) but crashes once in a while at 4.5. Then because the memory controller is on the CPU clocking the RAM at say 2133MHz may keep it stable at 4.5GHz.

That isn't guaranteed to work but it seems to help on OC that are just barely not stable. It is also possible that your chip will have no problem running at 2400 with your OC it is part of the "silicon lottery" just a handy trick to know for haswell
 


Assuming you mean the Asus boards. In which case they are nearly identical. The Deluxe has a slightly better VRM design (16+2 vs pro's 12+2) and has 10 Sata ports vs. 6 on the pro. They have slightly different I/O ports but nothing major there.
 


There might be something else but thats all I saw definitely not worth 100.
