Posted May 10, 2016 Im trying to trade or sell my secondary system (fx6300,gtx960,8gbram) for a higher end intel processor, motherboard, and ram combo and I was planning on selling it and getting a 6600k, 8gb of ram, and a msi sli mobo but I got an offer on craigslist for 16gb ram, 3770k, and a asrok z77 extreme4 mobo. I am going to be getting the gtx 1080 in a few weeks so i want to make sure my processor wont bottle neck it. Would the 3700k bottleneck a gtx 1080(by estimation, ik theres no benchmarks), and is the 6600k better than the 3700k for gaming? Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 10, 2016 Go for the 6600k. It'll perform better. Want to help researchers improve the lives on millions of people with just your computer?

Posted May 10, 2016 6600K. OC'able, plus new Skylake features and better performance PRE-OC Roses are red My name is Roy We caught the alligator that ate the De Luca boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 10, 2016 I would go with the 6600k. Based on Cinebench scores that I have done, it preforms a good amount better than the 3770. I am running it at 4.4GHz on 1.33 vcore which is pretty conservative. http://imgur.com/yuXGejL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help - No not really especially if it's overclocked a bit... - Yes the i5-6600K is noticeably better in games...it's a faster processor overall. | CPU: Core i7-8700K @ 4.89ghz - 1.21v | Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING | CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i V2 | | GPU: MSI RTX 3080Ti Ventus 3X OC | RAM: 32GB T-Force Delta RGB 3066mhz | | Displays: Acer Predator XB270HU 1440p Gsync 144hz IPS Gaming monitor | Oculus Quest 2 VR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few Sandy Bridge machines kicking around (including a new one that I just bought off eBay). The price of them is so low and the performance so high, they aren't worth selling. In fact, I just bought another! (i5-2400) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am running it at 4.4GHz on 1.33 vcore which is pretty conservative. http://imgur.com/yuXGejL I'm running a i7-3770K at BClock:100.6 CPUVoltage:1.125V, Multiplier:45 (4526MHz) and at load, only pulling 69C. My Extreme OC on the 3770K, BC:101.2, CPUVoltage as 1.33, multiplier of 48, (4828MHz) which under load was just tipping 79C (IntelBurn Test), and that is only being cooled with the old H100i liquid cooler. And my Extreme OC I use daily, and my temp logging rarely hits the 70sC. Not sure if my 3770K was just a good one, because I have only found a few that have achieved these levels and not burnt out the CPU. I have been running on my 3770K for 2 1/2 years, and it has been competitive in performance, as CPU advances really haven't moved that far in comparing Quad Core Processors. When I ran Cinebench, I also had Firefox, HWMonitor, Gimp, Blender(2.77a), and I still got a 786. (Update, second image is Cinebench with nothing else running) Edited May 20, 2016 by antonrr90 Update, added second image of Cinebench with nothing else running.

Posted May 20, 2016 The above Cinebench is one reason why Intel is going to have real problems in the next few years, unless they can impress us with CPU IPC gains or unless they just move i3 to 4 cores, i5 to 6 cores, and i7 to 8 cores.

They impressed me....by the massive leap in IPC I got by upgrading my Pentium III 667 to my i5 4440 (then alter on my 4790K). Pretty much I expect to be impressed by Intel every 15 or so years.

Posted May 20, 2016 my cinibench score for 4.6ghz on the 6600k was 708 i can prob bring it higher had to re-evaluate how i overclocked switched too offset yesterday because it kept auto'n my voltage when i just picked a voltage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
