i7 7700 vs i7700T CPU

[Toms Romans]

Hi. I ended up by the conclusion where I have to choose between i7 7700 and i7 7700T. Is there going to be any "noticable" FPS difference between these CPU's when T version is overlocked? (or boosted) (don't know this PC people language yet)

How do you plan to overclock a locked CPU, when Intel has disabled overclocking non-K chips in newer BIOS releases, and you need a new BIOS to boot with that chip?

Never mind about that. It has turbo mode right? When it reaches Max Turbo Frequency of 3.80 Ghz and then? I was talking about i7 7700T cpu

Ecky is right, you cannot OC either of them, so you are looking at single threaded 4.2 vs 3.8, or in most mulithreaded applications something more like 2.9 vs 3.6 so maybe 25% faster in anything where the CPU is the constraint.

In your opinion I should choose i7 7700 or i7 7700T? Can't see why I should a have cpu that is running at full speed and consuming energy for no reason when nobody is using it. and FPS difference? Ok. overlocking was wrong. I mean boosting.

it'll only run that fast when there is load, no load, no boost, idle and it'll clock down to something 1.6, maybe lower for new processors. less

I guess I will stick to I7 7700T as I'm home user and I'm not rendering any videos and stuff. Should be enough For Farcry Primal and Fallout 4.

the T costs more where i am, your choice, but not a good one given the closeness of costs.

If they're the same price I wouldn't buy the slower CPU.
