4670K VS 4690K

[POOP With CHEESE]

So im looking to upgrade my cpu to an i5. And I dont know whether to get the 4670k or 4690k.... I found two mobo combos and the 4670k is cheaper but its using a z87 mobo yet the 4690k has a z97 mobo but its more expensive. I need to know if the performance difference is worth the cost.

4690k performs better and has a bunch of newer features and like sata express, newer drivers, and a bunch of other features from the motherboard manufacturer.

4690k

the 4670k comes with a microATX board and an older chipset. 

 

The 4690K has an ATX board with a new chipset. 

 

The 4690K overclocks better than the 4670k. 

 

You choose.

4690K. Has better thermals.

[Interfectorem]

It's clocked slightly higher out of the box, and it has better TIM (Thermal Interface Material), which is basically thermal paste under the IHS (Integrated Heat Spreader; metal bit), so this translates in lower temps, I don't know however how much the temps are dropped.

Not big difference for the CPU, but I'd say go with a Z97 motherboard. It supports 5th gen Broadwell CPU's.

4690K all the way.
