Exactly why i haven't considered upgrading my gaming computer over these years. And to be fair, i'm not replacing this computer outright. Just building something new. I'm most likely just going to move this 2700k into a htpc.

I don't get what you mean.

Your hostility is unnecessary.

This is not really a good review either. It lacks specs on the computers tested and the procedures taken to get those stats.

I'm not.

I disagree, as does this review and several others. The crashing was more of an issue with the gpu, but even then when it crashed bios reset the cpu OC and when running normally i didn't notice a huge difference in performance. http://www.hardcoreware.net/intel-core-i7-2700k-review/5/

Poll has been updated if you feel some other cpu would be better. List your choice in the comments.

I'm not against overclocking. I just don't see it as a long term solution. I haven't found significant advantages overclocking cpu's and gpu's when gaming or video conversion. Certainly when playing online or making a batch of video. At least this has been the case with my 2700k. Sooner or later...

YES ;)lol

Well this debate is going nowhere quick. Thanks for the info all that were helpful

Not really. There are leased server cpu's on the market for dirt cheap prices. Not really worth it imo unless you are building a server with multiple cpu's (in reality, still spending over 300$ on 4+ cpu's).

I think that guy is taking it to the extreme with "hella used" bargain deals. At that price its a win win situation. If it doesn't work, oh well, if it does work, cool beans. I personally have no intention of buying anything used unless it's from a friend where i know how something was used...

5 years is a decent longevity.

No one has explained why the z370 chipset is any better. What are the differences between the z299 and z370?

Not very helpful banter....
