Worth OC i5 haswell

[PorkyPhill]

Is it really worth getting the 4670K version for Overclocking
+$30 for K
+$25 for overclocking warranty
+$ for powerful cooler

& maybe better Ram & MB?

Does the turbo function,
void warranty?
& is the standard Intel cooler good enough?

I have just written out a post on this and the answer is
NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT is it worth spending all that money!
The motherboards cost an extra $30 too!
I will show you.

READ THIS! It shows overclocking a 4670k from 3.7 to 4.5 gig improves games by less than 1%!

This article shows there is no difference in gaming between a 4430 (or 4440 as they are coming out now)
and a 4770k hiperthreaded flag ship running 500 mhz faster. Just look at the gaming figures. 1% difference !

It costs 33% more to build an overclocking intel rig. In the U.K. thats £80,
well over $100, probably 110.
