Very fast chip
08/05/2014
This review is from: Intel Core i5-4670K - Core i5 4th Gen Haswell Quad-Core 3.4 GHz LGA 1150 84W Intel HD Graphics Desktop Processor - BX80646I54670K
Pros:
Incredibly fast chip. Upgrading from a 7 year old core 2 duo, this thing is unbelievable. Opens chrome before I can even lift my finger off the mouse. Installs software very fast (this could be my SSD as well).
This particular chip doesn't overclock that well, the most I've gotten is a stable 4.3Ghz at 1.265v. This is about as far as I'll push it with my Noctua D14, as IBT temps get to mid 90's. Perhaps liquid cooling in the future will allow me to reach higher clocks.
Cons:
Hot, only able to get 4.3 with Noctua D14
Overall Review:
Overall a great chip that will serve me well in gaming for a while.
