Hello guys,

 

I am using 4670k i5 processor. I intended to overclock it but i decided not to because i would like to keep my pc calm and cold.

 

Do you guys know what is the best not-overclockable processor with a $150-250 price range?

 

PS: gonna sell my cpu if i want decided to go for that

The right word is Downgrade

true true he is "upgrading" to a non overclock able CPU that'll run just about the same if he buys a better cooler, to keep it cool and quiet and overclock the hell out of it.

seriously, whether or not you overclock your 4670k, it is still way better to keep that then change to a cpu that is just marginally better. do yourself a favor, don't upgrade your cpu. get yourself an ssd instead. you'll actually notice the difference. unlike getting a new cpu.

My rig:
CPU: i5 4690k 24/7 @4.4ghz (1.165v) Max 4.7ghz (1.325v) COOLER: NZXT Kraken X61 MOBO: Asus Z97-A   RAM: 16GB Crucial Ballistix Tactical   GPU: EVGA GTX 970 SSC   PSU: EVGA GS 650W   CASE: NZXT Phantom 530 HDD: WD Caviar Blue 1TB + WD Black 2TB

lol not by a long shot. that cpu will be a beast for years. and later on, you can always overclock it if you change your mind.
