3570k or not K ?

[philippeb90]

So, i have arrived at the fatal conclusion that i might have burned my dear 2600k...
I was looking at cpu's when i saw at serval benchmark that 3570k outperform my i7 2600k, and for the price its a pretty good deal for a budget computer (I only play LOL and cs:go, no highend games).

But, i have 2 options, the 3570K is a little more expensive than the 3570, and i am not looking into overclocking.
Is there any performance benefits on the k model if you dont overclock it ?

K series are for overclocking as they are unlocked. K series cost much more, so in your case I'd go 3570

Both have the same clock speed and both turbo to 3.8Ghz. without overclocking. Both have the same thermal specs. The only difference besides overclocking I know of is that the 3570K has HD 4000 graphics and the 3570 has the slower HD 2500 graphics built in. If you're not overclocking and don't need the iGPU then get the cheaper CPU.

The 3570 g is great. Before U got on the x99 platform that was the cpu in my rig and no games or any other programs gave me any trouble. It's in my wife computer now which is hooked to the tv in the living room. I was just gaming on it on saturday and its still a champ.

The performance difference is marginal. If you won't overclock, go for the non-k.
Thoughm personally, I would just go for another 2600k second hand and save some bucks. Plus, you get 8 threads with the i7.

The thing is actually.
I can buy the 3570K for 122USD
And the 3570 for mabybe 91USD (Seller have it listet for 135, but it has not sold for 3 months so maybe i can push him down harder)

But i will see wich i can get cheaper and go for that one i guess, thanks.

I insist that another i7 2600k or even 2600 would be a better solution. Your games are not cpu bound, and having 8 threads does help in everyday work. I consider going from a sandy i7 do an ivy i5 to be a DOWNgrade.
