3570k/P8Z77-V LK package worth $15 < than x4?
Last response: in Systems
I'm working on a new gaming computer, planned on a slight OC <4ghz (ish), working my way through the usual webpages looking for a deal when I came across a combo on newegg for the 3570k and asus z77 vlk, with mail in rebate and 25$ savings this puts it about $15 less than getting the asrock x4 and 3570k that pcpartpicker has as lowest price. I understand that the asus doesn't oc as well as the asrock but I'm not looking to break any records anyway what I'm really wondering is: is the asrock worth $15bucks more?

Save the money and go with the ASUS package. Good deal and you can definitely overclock it more than 4.0 GHz if you wanted to.

^Turbo boost is not OCing. It basically clocks the cores being used to higher speeds. (eg. If 1 core is being used, that one core will be boosted to 3.8, 2 cores = 3.7G, 3 cores = 3.7G, 4 cores = 3.5G)Asus all the waaaaaaaaaaay.
True - but my point still carries across. A 4.0 GHz overclock will not tax either board. Go with the deal, and save some money
) and it OCs decently. Best solution
