It makes me sad that I bought a 2500k for that a couple months back now for $10 more than that D;


Welcome to buying technology ^^ That's how it always is.

if you can afford it. Go with the 2700k over the 2600k. Higher clock speed, overclocks better being cherry picked like I said. If budget is an issue, go with 2500k.

2700k is only cherrypicked for 3.9GHz lol. Just because it satisfies Intel at 3.9GHz, it does not mean it can overclock better than a 2600k lol.

As I said. Not cherrypicked to any degree that is meaningful to anyone thats interested in overclocking.

lol @ 3.9 That's really awkward.I suppose if you want to overclock exactly to that though :D. haha

Why would you buy a 2700k that turbos to 3.9GHz to overclock to 3.9GHz..? Talk about a stupid way to waste money.

I don't know about the whole "3770k is hotter thing. Maybe they just got a bad test chip or something. From what I've heard is you get better and cooler overclocks

I dunno seems like everybody posting benchmarks right now has crazy high temps up above 4,5k



OP: another thing to consider is that i7-2600ks are $200 at microcenter right now.


This was the recommendation made on the first page. >.< It still stands.

Note, the $200 2600k deal is over I think. Looks to be $280 online now (still in-store pick up only).

Ivy will clock better than sandy IFF you can solve the heat dissipation issue, if you want super high clocks on air without modifying the IHS, go w/ sandy.

This is a matter of personal choice.

The 2600K would do fine. If you want to OC, you could spend some bucks more for a small chance of better OC results on the 2700K. Both are "proven technology". The 3770K is based on that, but still new technology. It has been tested at Intel and should work as intended – some % faster than the 2700K. I myself needed a new CPU a month ago for streaming and did not wait for Ivy Bridge, I rather put my money on that "proven technology" with the 2700K. But maybe you are a person who doesn't want to buy a CPU which will gets phased out and surpassed by a new series within mere weeks. Then you know that you rather wait for the 3770K.

The important thing to know it, that neither of the three CPUs is really a wrong choice. Any CPU delivers what you pay for, and any CPU gets you enough CPU power to stream with good settings (so that you can have good quality without using too much upstream bandwidth.)

I think IB is 1-2 weeks from release

reports are that IB is hot though and will not OC as well as desired, but wait for reviews



Yes. I agree with udgnim. Wait for the reviews. That way you won't kick yourself if you buy the wrong one.

Only a couple of weeks for a lot less pain.

I have recently bought the 2600k and with a h100 pull/push setup.
And i have a awesome OC i am running @ 4.8 Ghz stable for a couple of months now.
Temps under full load are in the range of 70c to 80c i am quite happy.

For the 2700k they are higher binned CPU's so you are certain that it will reach my OC and quite possible higher think about x52 multi. BUT your H60 would probably not be able to keep it cool.

So in conclusion if you are going to wait, wait and see the reviews but if you are going to buy a i7 you might as well buy a 2600k IF you are going for a low OC OR invest in a better cooling solution and buy a i7 and go for the big 5 Ghz

PS: i am able to stream 1080p sc2 with my setup FPS games at 720p

What is wrong with you people's logic? Do you think Intel tests at 5GHz for every chip and than bin according to that? /facepalm

70c-80c is quite high for a 4.8ghz OC.

I also have a 2600k and even at 5.0ghz and 1.52vcore with an H100 (Only pull), I max at about 70c in Prime95.

This is with ambient of about 30c.


The only reason people should buy a 2700k is because they're stupid and don't know how to overclock, or they got tricked into thinking it's easier to overclock.

A 2700k is just a 2600k that they tested at 3.9ghz and it was a some arbitrary low enough voltage or something. This does not carry over to higher clock speeds.

2700K are just slightly better binned 2600K, still on the average the slightly better selected processors. That doesn't mean that the 2700K will outperform the 2600K noticeably.

i7-3770k will outperform the i7-2600k/2700k unless you're aiming for well beyond 4.5Ghz.

No, they're not better binned. Intel tests the chips if they can run at 3.9. If so, they'll be labeled as a 2700k, if not as a 2600k. That's the theory at least. In practice every Sandy Bridge chip will do 3.9 without breaking a sweat, so Intel has to down-label a lot of chips to create the supply of 2600k chips. Which means that in practice the 2600k's and 2700k's come from exactly the same batch of chips and the only difference is the default clock speed they report to the BIOS.
