Will the performance between the 2700 (65w TDP) & 2700x (105w TDP) be massive?
I am currently using an M-ITX build with a 4770k (84w TDP) in a Dan Case A4. The temps get rather toasty at times with a Noctua NH-L9i.
So the reason I am thinking about getting a 2700 is the lower TDP which is only 65 watts and should help bring down temps even more.
No, they are the same chip, just lower clocked, the performance difference will be in the clocks speeds, so no not massive, not a lot even.
