So I'm researching for my upgrade that I'm currently investing for that will take place in late December or early January. I was wondering, at that time, will Broadwell be worth it over Haswell(Devil's Canyon) in terms of Overclocking and performance?
Importance in Choice:
- Main Factor: Overclocking
Things I already know:
- Broadwell has little to no performance increase.
- Broadwell offers the new 14nm lithography and lower power consumption.
Key Questions:
- How much higher can I overclock a Broadwell processor than a Haswell (Devil's Canyon), specifically the 4790K? (I have a Cooler Master V8 GTS CPU Cooler with Tuniq MX-2 Thermal Paste)
- [strike]Will Broadwell be supported by Z97?(Because if not I'm definitely not getting it.)[/strike]
A: Broadwell is compatible with Z97. (Thanks guys!)
NOTE: I do not have an Intel Processor. This is a switch from AMD to Intel.
