Hi forum,

 

I've been gaming on my OCd G3258 for a while now, and it is a darn good for the price, but now it is time to put it to rest and look for something more powerful.

 

I'm looking to upgrade to a newer CPU, and I've considered core i5 -> 4670k and 4690k to be installed on my existing ASUS Z87 PLUS can you guys tell me if waiting for Broadwell is an option worth considering since the release dates are not very clear (Q2 2015)?

 

Thanks!

Broadwell is only supported only one 9 series chipset with a BIOS update

 

 

i think it better to get the 4690K or 4790K

 

the 4670K and 4770K can be good if they are way cheaper

 

but go for the 4690K as it has better TIM and it have higher clocks

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

Haswell Refresh[edit]

Around the middle of 2014, Intel released a refresh of Haswell, simply titled Haswell Refresh. When compared to the original Haswell CPUs lineup, Haswell Refresh CPUs offer a modest increase in clock frequencies.[68] Haswell Refresh CPUs are supported by Intel's new 9 Series chipsets (Z97 and H97, codenamed Wildcat Point), while motherboards with 8 Series chipsets (codenamed Lynx Point) usually require a BIOS update to support Haswell Refresh CPUs.[69]

The CPUs codenamed Devil's Canyon, covering the i5 and i7 K-series stock keeping units (SKUs), employ a new and improved thermal interface material (TIM) called next-generation polymer thermal interface material (NGPTIM). This improved TIM reduces the CPU's operating temperatures and improves the overclocking potential, as something that had been problematic since the introduction of Ivy Bridge.[70] Other changes for the Devil's Canyon CPUs include a TDP increase to 88 W, additional decoupling capacitors to help smooth out the outputs from the fully integrated voltage regulator (FIVR), and support for the VT-d that was previously limited to non-K-series SKUs.[71]TSX was another feature brought over from the non-K-series SKUs, until August 2014 when a microcode update disabled TSX due to a bug that was discovered in its implementation.[30][31]

Intel also released the Pentium Anniversary Edition (Pentium G3258), an unlocked and highly overclockable processor that marks 20 years of "Pentium" as a brand.[72

Sorry, I think I misinterpreted your post thinking you were saying the 4690k has better TIM than the 4790k.

 

I don't know why my brain did that

Just got mine up to 5.0ghz stable. if they are selling them for that kind of money i might looking into moving on to something else. lol

Too early. Wait for Skylake. You'll only be disappointed if you upgrade now.

 

What? A 4690k is an enormous upgrade over a G3258 and gaming performance will have a night and day difference if the op has even a midrange video card.

Why the i5 over the FX-8350?
