Hi folks.

 

Wondering what would be a fair value for used Haswell processors? Specifically, I’m looking for the value of the 4670k & 4790k, in CAD if possible.

 

Thanks, Matt

About 30% less than a new Ryzen 5 2400G

people don't pay that little for haswell, the 4790k will go for more than $250 CAD

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

See $250 is about what I figured was a fair number for the 4790k. But sellers are asking $400 for them.

$400 is totally absurd, you can get high end coffee lake processors for that money.

he asked about a fair price

 

If people buy it at that price.... ok.

But its stupid. You can get new Ryzen 5 1600 + motherboard for that price...

 

I will be upgrading from i7 4770k soon and I would feel like a scammer if I sold it for more than $90.

Yeah Haswell is priced above its real performance, these old Intel processors just have high price tags for no reason. If OP was looking to buy a Haswell i7, I recommend Ryzen instead.

400$ is a ripoff for a ~500$ CAD CPU that is 5 generations old. Fair price should be ~270$ CAD for the 4790K, and ~150$ CAD for a 4670K. I would say, the 4690K could be upped to ~160$ CAD because it has stronger internal power delivery but 4670K will suffice for most people deciding between the two.

Is it me or are these chips SERIOUSLY overpriced in the second hand market right now?

It's not just you, it is ridiculous how selfish the people on eBay can be.

Already have a Haswell motherboard. Not interested in purchasing a new board, new DIMMs, and a new processor for the sake of getting a CPU bump.

What CPU do you currently have? What motherboard?

Board is an MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming. The 4670k is what’s in there right now. That’s why I asked what would be fair to sell it for. Kinda hoping that the upgrade will only end up costing me $100 or so after I go through the buy & sell routine.

The 4790k is a lot more expensive than the 4770k and not much better, consider that CPU instead unless you're an OC enthusiast and really want the best CPU possible for your platform

Yea I want to push the limits of this old hardware. I’ve got a 1080ti in the mail and that 4670k is going to be a bottleneck (I know the 4790k will be too, but decidedly less so). Doing this because I’d like this rig to last me a few more years before I finally buckle and do a whole new build when the RTX 21xx cards come out.

So I suppose this begs the question; why are Haswell chips so overpriced when compared to other generations?

Because Haswell was one of the best generations for Intel. Not saying it is a legitimate reason to rip someone off, but it was a highly sought after set of CPUs, so it makes sense that the sellers would want to sell it for more. Technically speaking it is "one generation behind" because right now we are on LGA1151, and Skylake (yes 9th gen is based off of Skylake), and Haswell was the one before it (excluding the awful Broadwell).
