    Temps of a 3770K at stock clocks and with stock cooler

    The temperatures are fine and shouldnt be an area of concern. If you want to start looking into overclocking you are going to want to pick up a 3rd party HSF (heatsink/fan) to deal with the increased temperatures.

    upgrading from 2600k to 3770k..

    I would say no. At the best you are going to see around a 6% performance increase at the same clock speed and maybe a lower power bill (but not much).

    Current gen games on Wolfdale?

    I was in the generation before with an Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E6400 it was able to play most of the games I played at that time but I have since moved up to Intel Core i7-860 and just replaced that system with an Intel Core i7-3770K for my home system. Each move has given me improvements in...

    You knew it had to be done!

    For the past couple years I have been building a new system with each new generation of our processors and replacing the system on my desk with a new one. I am really looking forward to what my next system has in store for me.

    AMD or Intel?

    It all comes down to how the game is programmed. I have a friend who is a programmer and I asked him about this and he explained that it is very hard to add in additional support for threads on a game pasted about 3. They do one core or thread for video, one for sound and one for game...

    Let's reminisce -- What was your very first computer? Specs please!

    The first computer I ever brought was a Packard Bell with a 75MHz Intel® Pentium® processor. I believe that it had a 520MB HDD that was just about full from the moment that I got it. After that I don't remember anything about this system.

    Has voltage ever killed a SB/IB CPU ever?

    Yes I know of at least a couple cases where people have damaged their processor by high voltage and static stocks. In these cases it is where the person has used such high voltages that there is no chance not to damage the processor. So let say you keep the temperatures under control and...

    Intel i5 or i7 for gaming? Or even AMD?

    I have an Intel® Core™ i5-3570K sitting on my desk here and I think it is one of the best gaming processors you can get your hands on. Matched up with a good board maybe something like the ASRock Z77 Extreme4 or the MSI Z77-GD65 and 8GB of DDR 3 1600 and you are going to have a good solid system.

    Core I7 3770 vs. I7 3770k

    There are really 3 differences between these two processors. The Intel® Core™ i7-3770K will have -ability to overclock by changing the multiplier -Intel HD 4000 Graphics. The Intel Core i7-3770 will have -support for VT-D (Virturalization with Directed I/O) also needs support...

    Reccomendations on future Dual Intel cpu rig for gaming?

    The board that we have that could be used as a real gaming one is the Intel® Work Station Board W2600CR2.

    i7 2600 non "k"

    The difference between the 2nd and 3rd generation Intel® Core™ processors is come down to about 6% if you are not using the IGP (integrated graphic on processor). Now 6% performance improvement really isnt with the extra cost of upgrading at this time. In other year or two then maybe it...
