Non k model though... and not sure why this is in Hot Deals? There's nothing hot about it.

I believe Intel did cripple the K models in some way, I think it lacks TSX? Can't remember exactly, there may be other things crippled as well.
Important yes. Necessary no.This important/necessary?

TSX helps improve multi threading performance quite a bit but the software has to be coded for it to work. "Old" software won't benefit at all. 4770K doesn't support TSX which is retarded/dickish of Intel.
With bclk OC, it may not make much of a difference this time around.
New question, how much of today's software is coded for it (OS, games, anti-virus, anti-malware, encryption software, browsers, etc)? Is this a huge hit? Just not familiar with the details and want to get a good grasp of the fuckery. Have a percentage of day to day code that uses this? Thanks
I tried to explain this on several forums when they first introduced the K series with Lynnfield. You won't need a K series chip with Haswell unless you want to pay more for fewer features. People generally don't understand budget overclocking these days but at least I'll end up saving ~$100.

There is no guarantee that Intel is allowing BCLK overclocking on the non-K models, and there have actually been rumors that Intel is locking down BCLK overclocking on non-K models, leaving only K models with any sort of overclockability, again.
False. My i7 3770 reaches 4.4GHz on all cores using BCLK OC. It's also known that the i7 3820 can OC very high also.
I wouldn't put much stock into those rumors. The multi can be locked, the BCLK is free game.
