I5 7600 or I5 7600k

[MicroT]

Hey,
Currently in my system I have a G4560 and an Asus Prime B250m-A motherboard with 8GB 2400Mhz Ram. I was wondering, since my motherboard I believe doesnt support overclocking, which of the two processors, 7600 and 7600k, I should get as my upgrade. I never planned to overclock anyways. (Building a separate ryzen system I am going to overclock). The price difference where I am is minimal between the two and in stats it seems the 7600k would be the better coice overclocking or not (Difference in £10/$15) What are your thoughts?
Greatly appreciate any feedback thanks.

Then buy 7600 if you don't want to overclock.

What motherboard do you have? If it is an MSI mobo you can enable MSI's Enhanced Turbo on the K series and it will run at 4.2GHz on all 4 cores. With the non-K it will not run at maximum speed (4.1GHz) on all 4 cores, but will run at 3.9GHz on all 4 cores at the same time.

Other than that they are very similar with only 100MHz difference if not overclocked.

yeah, i agree with sosofm. If your not OC'ing stick with the 7600. The difference between the chips is minimal (at stock). The 7600 has a base frequency of 3.5 with a turbo of 4.1. Okay the 7600k has a higher base clock of 3.8 but turbo's to 4.2. So in gaming the difference at stock will be 100mhz, which will translate to maybe a few FPS in gaming.

With all of that said for £10 I'd prob just get the 7600k for the few extra FPS, and in the knowledge that if you are building a Ryzen system and maybe thinking of selling the Intel system, the 7600k will retain it's value longer as it's a k version.

Just double checked the difference here is only £5 haha, Thanks may go with the 7600k then, gotten get dem 2 extra frames.

yeah, those few extra FPS are all important!
