Can I just swap processor

sargan · 10 Jul 2019 at 18:58

I have a home build PC, use is for Video Editing.

ASUS P8Z77-V LE motherboard
16GB of RAM, SSD
Currently has a Intel i5-3570K 3.4GHZ not overclocked. With Coolermaster processor cooling

Would I see a significant improvement if I were to change CPU to a i7 9700K 3.6GHz
and would it be a direct swap .... any changes required ?

Damn ... not what I wanted to here .... but thanks for the confirmation ( and possible wasted money)
Realistically would it be worthwhile changing to i7 3770K, would I see significant improvement ?

Forgot t Add I have an MSI GeForce GTX 560 TI GPU

7 years usage is wasted money?

3770K used prices are strong, you'd be better putting the money towards a new board, CPU and RAM.

Just too much spend to replace all 3 at moment.

For basic stuff usually Vegas Movie Studio.
Anything needing anything complicated (restoration, stabilisation etc) it is VirtualDub, and Handbrake for conversions.

I am not into gaming, when I built PC the P8Z77-V LE was winner of top Intel mobo for non-gaming.
What board would be a good consideration ... don’t need WiFi.

Why haven't you overclocked it? You could easily make it 20-30% faster.

No experience of overclocking so unsure what to set .... I do have the Afterburner tool, but never used it.

Is there somewhere on this forum I could get advice as to what settings I should use to Overclock .... have no experience of this.
