i5 4440 vs 4590t

j0ndafr3ak · Jul 9, 2015

Hi,
I'd like to get the 4590t for my Silverstone ML07 HTPC and pair it with a 750 ti (you know, a low power pc) and attach a 2560x1080 monitor to it.

I've noticed that the 4440 has the same speed and is cheaper. Apart from that, what's the difference between the two? does the 4590t produce less heat and draw less power than the 4440? thanks

You're going to run a 2560x1080 monitor with a 750ti? Good luck.

do you think i should get a 960?

I chose the 750ti cause it heats up less... but if that isn't enough.....

and what about the cpu?

StarChief · Jul 9, 2015

960 would definitely be a big step up, and they don't really heat much either.

4590 is the big brother, it is faster and overall a better performer for about $10 more. Power, IGP, and everything else is basically the same.

GTX 960 is what you want.. paired along with the 4590 will make it a great 1080p HD system.

gskill support :

it's the T low power version. it's a 35w chip, what should I expect from it compared to the 4440?

StarChief :

I see. would the 970 be too much in such a small case?

StarChief · Jul 9, 2015

I don't know how small your case is, but they make micro 960s, also the Asus strix is a pretty small card.

Look at this thing, it's so teeny xD

j0ndafr3ak :

They make mini 970s as well

gskill support · Jul 9, 2015

It's not a comparison. The T model is strictly for low power purposes, so it's only an option if you want to save power and accept reduced performance. It does not perform as well as the 4440.

j0ndafr3ak · Jul 9, 2015

You're right.. my bad.. i was referring to the S model

Anyway, I'll look for a mini 970.. little beast...

So, after a bit of research and talking to you guys, I think I've made up my mind:

Case: Lian Li PC-Q30 Silver
PSU: Silverstone Strider SFX 450W
M/B: Asus H97I-Plus
CPU: I7 4790S
Cooler: Noctua NH-L9i
GPU: Asus GTX 970 Mini ITX
RAM: Crucial Ballistix low profile ddr3 1600mhz CL9 16gb
SSD: Samsung 850 Evo 1TB
Monitor: LG 29UM65-W

1800 euros from Amazon

Good luck have fun, I kinda want a teeny tiny 970 even though I already have the big one >.>
