4790k vs 5775c vs 6700k

[Andrew Storlie]

Ok im planning a new build for January new year sales time and i have some questions about which cpu to go with.... first to start, until 10 minutes ago i never heard about the 5775c cpu.... so now im wondering what are the differences between the 4790k, 5775c, and the new 6700k, all roughly the same price, i know the 6700k would end up using ddr4. But is the upgrade to ddr4 really worth the cost, sure its faster ram but the timeing go up so high that it doesnt seem to actually be better.

Im going to be liquid cooling it, and OC it high, but with in reason. No crazy high voltage or anything. Ill be gaming mostly as well as graphic design and 3d modeling (work stuff)

Does 1 cpu really have any stand-out benefits over the others?

I plan to run dual 980ti hof editions (white and black build) if it helps. Triple 1440p monitors.

yes one CPU can outstand the benifits

6700k is the best currently. Unless you want a 5820k

5775C cause of the ultrafast L4 DRAM cache

[King_Tuna]

5775C is all about iGPU. Go with 6700K. Its got more OC potential.

Its only for iGPU.

[don_svetlio]

or just get a 5820K or Broadwell-E if it's out by then

when iGPU is disabled it acts like L4 Cache for the CPU

As @don_svetlio said, 5775c has dat L4 cache, 6700k has inverse hyperthreading and the 4790k is the go to for overclocking (or something, everyone knows about it).

I'd go with 5775c (or 5675c if you don't need the hyper threading)

for best OC 2600K

Just get a 5820K

Seriously? I didn't know. Thanks for correcting me.

5820k makes the 6700k eat dirt.

 

If they are both at 4.8ghz

 

5820k = 1450cb 

 

6700k = 1030cb

[Hieb]

6700k has inverse hyperthreading

 

nope it was just a rumour

[TheRandomness]

nope it was just a rumour

Oh, ok

5775c or get a 5820k

[Andrew Storlie]

It just seems that these new chips (6700k and 5820k) dont OC as high. Im not looking for record breaking but seems like there is nothing new or ground breaking with them. Sure the 5820k is a hex core but i dont need 6 cores. And im scared if i go x99 ill want to fork out the 1000 for the 5960x that i really dont need.

Basicly im tryi g to see if there is a real benefit to get something besides the 4790k? If i do get the 4790k ill end up ripping off the heat spreader and redoing the thermal compound so heat wont be an issue. Idr what that process is called. But a ddr3 2133mhz cl 9 set is cheap compared to a ddr4 2400mhz cl 12 set and that little speed i doubt will make any difference once the timing increase to cl12 is accounted for.

Will the 5820k really OC to 4.8ghz on all cores stable? What are temps like at that, id probably still rip the spreader off and redo the thermals

Average is about 4.5 GHz with 1.3v on 5820K's, so you'd have to have around 1.4-1.5v for 4.8 I'd imagine. Which no one in their right mind would do for a 24/7 OC.

Also I forgot to mention, you can't take of the IHS of Haswell-E, since they're soldered on and you run a great risk of breaking off bits of the silicon along with the solder.

Ok so i was reading up a little how dx12 is to support 6core??? Is this true, cause then the 5820k sounds like a winner. And maybe more future "proof" then a 4970k cause i can always upgrade to the 5960x come tax season.... lol

[Andrew Storlie]

Oh and kind of off maon topic but still cpu.... is there anything AMD makes that is close or better then the 5820k? I doubt it, i personally dont like AND but its worth asking

AMD makes processors for the low-budget consumer, there is probably no AMD processor even close to the 5820k from Intel. Intel makes AMD eat dirt

Thats what i figured, i used to have an amd 8150 bulldozer at 5.0ghz on water, and then switched to a 3770k at 4.5ghz on air and it was 50% more powerful then the amd lol.

[Andrew Storlie]

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/XDjCRB that is the build id be looking at then, only changes would be the 980ti's would be the HOF white editions from Galax all would be water cooled

[mattebad]

6700k is faster overclock for overclock over the 4790k and it's on a newer platform so less money to spend when you want to upgrade. I'd just go for the 6700k. I personally have a 6600k in my rig that is stable at 4.7ghz at 1.41v and it almost matches a stock 4770k Cinebench R15 score. Obviously I could go more, but I won't until I know how Skylake handles voltages in the long term

[sgtheadhole]

lol, xeon master race checking in, 6 cores...12 threads... overclock.... bye bye
