i5 4670k vs i5 4690k

NinjaPenguin1 · Jul 5, 2014

So i'm about to buy a new pc, but i'm in a bit of a struggle. At first I was supposed to buy the new 4690k, but suddenly one day the shop where I will buy from dropped the price on the 4670k.
So now the 4670k is 41$ cheaper than the 4690k.
Which one should I buy, and why?

The 4690k has a better TIM built in so you have less problems with heat when overclocking, but with those 41dollars you can upgrade some other part of your pc (mobo, gpu maybe, etc).
If I were you I wouldn't pay 41USD more for the 4690k, these couple of megahertz more aren't worth it to me, but it could be entirely different for you.

It's a very moderate performance bump to add 100 mhz, and other than that the only difference is that the 4690K is a slightly more rugged 88w processor (as opposed to the 84w tdp max of the 4670K). So, it runs a little faster, and can run a little hotter. if need be. If you're going to overclock, I'd op for the 4690K because of the 88w tdp. If you're not going to overclock though, I don't think the performance gain of the clock speed will be significant enough to shell out the money.

i agree with both.

SixCoreFiend :

The TDP of a cpu (and other components) that is listed in the specs is the heat output at stock clock speeds, the TDP increases when you overclock.
