Thanks for that stulid,

Glad i asked, I wouldn't have know because i will need Quicksync for video encoding.

More Q's to come :)

Thank you.
 
As stulid says all the comparisons on features are there, also UD5 has 20 power phases, UD3P has 14 and UD3 has 7 in total minus your phases for memory ect.

More power phases are important for overclocking as it allows better efficiency and clean stable power.
 
Thanks
again, wouldn't have known. I wont be overclocking, just want a good stable setup for video editing/encoding.

Thank.
 
Thanks again stulid.

I don't know much about this carry on :)

Glad to take advice for people that know.

One more Q please, ..would you go for Retail or OEM?
I probably would buy a cooler anyway.

Thank you.

Currently the Retail is £6 more than the oem, so you gain

• 3 vs 1 year warranty
• Shiny box
• Heatsink+fan

The last two will be good if you sell the chip on and keep the aftermarket heatsink. the new owner could then have an unused intel heatsink:)
