Core i7 4770K vs 4790 (non-K)

[AsrielDreemurr]

Hey There!

 

Another quick one: Should I get the 4790 or the 4770K? Both are coupled with a 970 and a guard pro z97. TY!

[,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,]

What cooler do you have?

[Mikjul]

Well it makes no sense to go non k on Z97.

[jimakos234]

4770k and a decent cpu cooler

[don_svetlio]

4770K if OCing,
4790 if not OCing

What PSU do you have?

[AsrielDreemurr]

4770K if OCing,

4790 if not OCing

What PSU do you have?

Antec earthwatts green 500w

 

The 4790 has better cooling, but you can't really overclock it. I'd go for the 4770K

Oke

 

4770k and a decent cpu cooler

What do you mean by 'decent' (Would a 212X cut it?)

ikr

 

What cooler do you have?

CM 212X

[Samsterstorm]

I would get a 4770k, much better pairing with a 970 than the non k 4790k, unless u not gunna OC EVER even if u dont want to now then get the 4790

I wouldn't OC a 970 and a 4770K on a lower-tier 500W unit - personal preference

The psu is ok, not bad, but no the best for oc. I would get a better one in order to oc (evga gs-b2-g2/ antec hcg/ seasonic/ 600w or more)

the cooler should be ok for a mild overclock, but if you want to hard oc, better get a be quiet/ noctua cooler

Antec HCG 620W oke?

Ehh, 4.3GHz oke for that cooler? would I have to change voltage of cpu?

1. yes

2. yes, but not with the best temps, and yes

People are saying "ohhhh, get the 4770K cause its better". This makes no sense for someone who has no intention to overclock.

 

Overclocking?

Yes = 4770K

No = 4790

Wwwwhhhyy exactly... They are both K series, and the 4790k's got higher base clock

[App4that]

Wwwwhhhyy exactly... They are both K series, and the 4790k's got higher base clock

Exactly, if you're not going to overclock go with the higher base clock.

Yes, the 4790 has a higher base clock speed.

why not get a skylake i7?

They are basically the same chip. One tends to have thermal issues, the other doesn't but you can't overclock it. I'd go with the 4770k, overclocking at the right time extends the useful life of a CPU, even if it's a mild OC, and you can always get a better cooler in the future.
