why not get a 4790k?

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

The max speed you can achieve depends on the VRMs on your board, the abilities of your cooler and, most importantly, the silicon lottery. Your chip may need 1.4V to hit 4.8 GHz, it may need 1.35. You'll have to find out.

we dont know, it all depends on the chip one person can OC to 5ghz and one person might not be able to push past 4.6ghz.

If you want to argue with me, and you probably will please PM me, no need to ruin threads becase you dont like how I am.

 

Ask me how I made 100k selling illegal narcotics!

Spoiler

and you think im joking, Did a lot of wrong to get my money right.

I look up to Larry Hoover.

use the forum to see if others have asked it before, it can help you find your answer faster 

 

but id say 4.5- 4.6ghz is average

only upgrade if your current rig doesn't do what you want it to do, there is no reason to upgrade just for the hell of it, unless its a present and then it makes sense as it being a time restraint thing.
