4670K or 4690K?

Brawly

Go to solution Solved by Quest,

This.

Also, I assume you meant 4670k vs 4790k? Or?

Ah, gotcha.

The difference is almost negligible, but go with the 4690k if possible. Overclocking is generally not AS luck of the draw, and they run cooler from my experience (albeit only working with two refresh chips so far...)

Okay, so I'm deciding that I want to overclock my cpu since I saved some money on other components and now have enough to do so. So rather than a 4460 I'm going with a k series i5. So as the title says, which one should I get? What are the advantages/disadvantages? I put them head to head on CPUBoss but I'm still kinda foggy about deciding.

 

Edit: Just saw my typo in the title. Both are i5's!

It's kinda hard to say precisely, but mostly gaming and modeling.

 

Once again, I meant to put 4690 and 4670 in the title, my fault!

 

Also, I'll be running it on an ASRock Z97 Pro3 board, with a R9 280X.

Well what are you doing with your system?

This.

I really wish that we'd just make organic hardware already, that grows and adapts to the demands it needs to meet. That way, grannies' computers can be floppy sacks of organicness and the 12 year old Minecrafters will look like the guys that only do bicep curls, and the nerdy programmers will finally have justice, with their body-builder rigs that skipped leg day.

Definitely possible, they're both $240 on newegg for the time being. Thanks!
