Intel 4570 + ROG Ranger

[Cozzi]

I have an Acer Predator PC which isn't that old, but it is very 'off the shelf' if you know what I mean.

Im looking at using the Intel i5 4570 CPU from it, and GTX 770 GPU and putting them on an ASUS Maximus Ranger VII Mobo.

My question is, would a CPU from a PC like that (pc world) be any different from one you buy off here, or will it just fit straight in with all the new correct parts to suit the new board, RAM etc?

Thanks in advance!

You won't be able to oc with a locked chip (non-k)

That's fine, I don't aim to at the moment, just want to make sure you can get 2 versions of that CPU and one wont fit

Wont be a problem pal, did the exact same recently with a 4570 with a cheap Z97 matx board.

Don't know about Haswell but with Ivy and Sandy non K CPUs you can overclock by 4.

Intel allow you to overclock the turbo by 4 extra 'bins'.

Haswell only overclocks by bclk, 4570 for example runs 3.2ghz and with Turbo boost a max of 3.4ghz for 4 cores, or 3,6ghz for 2.
