I'm about to scream!!!!!!!!!!

I might not have any choice but get 4770k. It's either buy now or not at all. Can't wait until September. So 4770k work with z97 mobo's

Yeah 4770K works mate. Not long till we get some legit info on the launch date. You could just pick up a used 4770K until 4790K appears?

Putting my Z97 together atm. Impressed with the mobo and case for the money, The heatsinks aren't yellow like in pics, more like muted gold..

4770K + Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD5H

Let's hope nothing DOA

I buy based on what's best value VS performance at the time...

..and a 4770k/4790k with corresponding motherboard plus 1-2 290x card is not it I'm afraid. If you think that combination is best value vs performance, you are mad.

or flat out best performance. Atm the it's Intel..

Yes, although GPU-wise, I'd argue it is Nvidia rather than AMD, but that's a different story. In pure raw GPU-power, it isn't a Haswell CPU-based system either, it is what can drive the most GPUs, which at present is a well clocked SB-E or Ivy-E Hexcore for high end tri and quad SLI setups.

I like the way you left of the rest of my comment to suit to your quote.. Sneaky sneaky.

Imho Z79 and 4770K / 4790K is a much better value VS performance setup than anything AMD have. AM3+ is dead at this point, no point buying into a dead socket.

You could always go 4670K or even an i3, whatever level you buy into Haswell at, makes way more sense than anything AMD at this point..

This old AMD argument is just boring at this point, it's old and dead. Time to move on. Intel is the way forward atm. Look to AMD in a couple of years. We all want them to come back strong.

I guess I could get a 4770k & z97 mobo now then pick up a 4790k in September? At least I wouldn't need to buy a new mobo then. The thing is I have the money now and might not then. Last year money was tight in september....That's why I bought stuff in the summer.

Worth waiting a couple weeks and see if anything does happen around June 2nd..

Go for a decent priced used 4770K and it's not so bad then.

That's what I'm thinking. I just ordered my last stuff today before the cpu and mobo get order in early June? Can only hope it's 4790k and not 4770k?

So 4790K in September now?
This is crazy if true, ive never know so much misinformation on anything like this before, we know nothing :rolleyes:

If its true ill have to buy a 4770k and sell it on in September and buy it then.

Boomstick777 · 23 May 2014 at 21:01

Overclocking seems very good on this Z97.

first go hit 4.4Ghz with 1.28v. Temps are good, voltage is spot on.

Will try and go higher on a min..

wazza300 · 23 May 2014 at 22:27

you get your board then boom? whats it like ? audio ect

think theres no way of adjusting vring voltage atm or correct software monitoring,but its being looked into

413x · 23 May 2014 at 22:42

as per my other thread i need a new mobo for x58 or z97 + cpu

more i gather whats going on more i get irritated
to the point where i am considering a new x58 board - but they are hard to find!

basically i need to shell out for something!

at present im 50:50
tempted to get a cheap cpu compatile with z97

wazza300 · 23 May 2014 at 22:44

treat yourself to new z97,x58 boards are waay overpriced imo,better to sell off old bits and get new?

you'll get better audio,usb,sata3 and pcie-3

x58 tended to hiss/squeal for me 4 or 5 boards I had did it

Yeah, built today bud. Project log is here - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=26336174#post26336174

The board is really good for the money. Audio is great, overclocking is easy. vring is adjustable, got to 4.4Ghz on 1.28v core and 1.15 vring no problem, needed 1.3v core for 4.5Ghz booted into Windows but unstable. Don't wanna push past that voltage tbh. Need time to get used to the mobo.

wazza300 · 23 May 2014 at 22:46

it might be current software monitoring isn't accurate atm,i remember someone mentioning it but no big deal

EDIT: the sapphire card is perfect colour match for that board,goes well

theres a x58 board/cpu bundle in the mm

,id go z97 tho but upto you

Yeah it should go pretty good with the mobo, hope it fits in there without having to take out SSD rack

Supposed to be a very long card.

Pretty happy with the build, the case for £65 is a right bargain imho. The mobo as well, some good prices on the Z97 stuff.

Hopefully can just chuck a Broadwell CPU in there next year..

413x · 23 May 2014 at 23:01

i dont want a dirty bundle lol..means i have to shift a cpu!

wazza300 · 23 May 2014 at 23:02

its gone now anyway

New rumour, 4.1GHz stock speed now.

Generally reckoned that up to 1.35v on core is ok for 24x7 use, depending on temps too of course at load. Think you could push a bit more if you wished to.
