I think rather than messing around i'm going to wait and go x99

Running my 4770k at 4.3 or 4.4GHz compared to 4.5 isn't going to be the end of the world

I'll simply wait for x99 six core chips and DDR4 and then i'll upgrade.

Same here, a much more worthwhile upgrade

My previous i5 760 setup lasted me 3 years, I've only had my i7 4770K 6 months and even when running at stock is more performance than I really need.

I think I am gonna skip this generation I have X99

!!

The onboard VRM is different in DC but is compatible with Z87 and Z97.

Z97 however will be the sole platform for Brioadwell.

Bought a 4770K off a guy going for DC...Sitting here on 4.6 @1.3 max 83c in Aida64 and wondering why he sold it tbh

Obviously that was meant as a cruel tease

, that your unlikely to answer any follow up questions to... But..

Could you just answer this... In your opinion is X99 worth an upgrade / the extra cost from 4770K / Z97?

Your w/c setup is better than mine

. To give you a comparison, I used 1.25v for 4.4ghz and my temps were around 80c using the H100i.

That's nice to know, but a lot of people are looking forward to 4790k. Me included.

So this is still due to be released next Monday?

mmj_uk · 16 Jun 2014 at 13:20

Another website lists 30th June.

I presume x99 is the best choice for multi GPU setups? Talking 3 or 4 cards and not just crossfire.

Yes.

4790 is actually out.

But no one has stock, the release was totally paper. I think we will see channel stock towards the end of the month.

RetrogamerX · 16 Jun 2014 at 16:18

Why do paper? Just release it. I'm on first batch. Can't wait to finish my build

Does that mean that the ETA of the 23rd still stands?

8 Pack · 16 Jun 2014 at 17:32

Its released!!! when we get stock it can go straight out the door.

No real rush to get mine as luckily i still have the 4770k in sig. Should be interesting to compare both.

Zeed · 16 Jun 2014 at 18:34

Like i posted somewhere X99 is only option of upgrade for me. So far had Ivy that would not do 4.6 and after watching whats up with haswell i have not even bothered as i got no luck with chip lottery (my 290x wont do 1200mhz on water no matter what)
So x99 with intels OC protection pan and just run it on its max like i do with my 2500k. If it dies then it dies simple. And cant do that with 4770 or this DC chips due to pice of **** tim...
