5775C potentially cheap upgrade?

These were £270 the other week, I'm wondering if they drop quite a bit due to being unpopular whether they're a decent upgrade from a Haswell i5?

Some of the benchmark tests show them trading blows, and on occasion beating, a 6700k in some games.

Thoughts?
 
I would need a case and PSU to go with it so wouldn't end up very cost effective IMO, that and SLI seems to be quite low priority when it comes to drivers.
 
No one is going to be able to tell you dropping in a Broadwell chip is good value for money because it isn't. It's going to make no difference 80% of the time, and for the 20% it will make a difference, it won't be much.

If you just want a toy to play with, then fair enough. That's why I upgraded from a 2600k to a 4790k lol
 
Well, new CPUs never really go down. They just go EOL and stay at about the same price until they have all been sold.

Used, maybe one day. But then there will probably be something else thats newer and better and you might as well just do that. I mean, who would actually upgrade from a 2600k to a 3570k? Might as well go the whole hog and upgrade the platform, or just stick with what you got.
 
If you can bag one for £250 then I would do it, as stated on par or faster than the i7 6770k for gaming and this with a lower clock speed.
 
I just nabbed one the other day, having some issues but its probably down to Asus Bios atm, cpu just stays at 3.6ghz and wont move

How can it be on par or faster for gaming?

From what I've been reading the Broadwell i7-5775C doesn't do any better than a Haswell i7-4790k while the Skylake i7-6700k often does.

That is rather odd, I had exactly the same issues with my MSI board, yet on my ASUS Z97 and Gigabyte Z97 its been perfect.

I might do a fresh OS install, you reckon that might help?

maybe some intel driver got messed up?

trying anything at the moment.. got everything ready for my build but this is letting me down.. got MB waterblock and everything ready...:(
 
Just don't expect mind blowing overclocks. I can manage 4.4-5 if I push my 5675c full of voltage. I run it at more or less stock voltage at 4.0 all day though and see some nice improvements from my 4690.
