Hello all,
I have a question. A friend of mine wants to build a new gaming computer. He'd like to get one of the new 2600K CPU's. These things need a 1155 socket motherboard.
After some quick looking around, it turns out some of these motherboards have a defect that causes one of the pins to burn. Or something. Source: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=336908
Now my question is; let's say my friend would just use a 1155 socket and not overclock his cpu, would that:
1) Be a better performance still than, let's say, affordable I7's in the same price category?
2) Cause problems?
Because if I look at reviews for these new 2600K cpu's then that obviously seems like a smart choice but he doesn't want to wait until April to get a new computer. What would you guys reccomend? Anything I don't know?
