Posted August 1, 2016 Considering putting either a i7 4790K or E3 1275V3 in my new rig. What is the overclockability of the xeon and how its its performance compared to the i7 4790K i7-5930K@4.7Ghz | Asus X99-E-WS/USB 3.1 | Corsair Vengance 32GB DDR4@2666Mhz | Duo Gigabyte GTX 1080 Xtreme Gaming | Samsung 950Pro 512GB | LSI 9260-8i RAID Card | 6x 1TB Samsung 850 Pro (RAID5) | Corsair AX1200i | Fractal Design Defiine R5 Black | MetaDot DasKeyboard4 Professional | Logitech G900 | Windows 10 Pro 64-bit | Asus PG348Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 1, 2016 Xeons don't overclock. Get the 4790k and overclock it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 1, 2016 while you *can* bclk overclock a xeon, you should expect none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 1, 2016 not much difference actually, just that the 4790k is clocked higher at stock. if you're overclocking get the 4790k(xeons don't overclock). if not get whatever is cheaper(should be the 4790k).
