@rishi: can you please be more specific?
@rock:thank you but I need an Intel i5 proccy for unavoidable reasons..so are there any i5s with 4000 except 3570k?: )
The hd4000 igpu is the graphic engine of almost all ivy bridge processor, I.e. all Intel core I* series from 3rd generation.
Sandy bridge models come with hd3000.
Any Intel 3rd Gen core-i proccy will have the hd4000 and not just the i5 3570k.
Untrue. Many have Intel HD 2500 which is rubbish imo.Any Intel 3rd Gen core-i proccy will have the hd4000 and not just the i5 3570k.
btw, do spend a bit extra and get a Z77 chipset motherboard since you're getting a K series processor.Sir l am 99% sure that you are wrong (I sure do hope that you are right) i5- 3470,3570,3550 do not have Intel HD 4000..
Well thank-you everyone looks like I will go with 3570k![]()
Is ocing actually worth the extra money?does it increase gaming performance?even if it means cutting on core components like graphic card?
in the long run and if you have nice after market cpu cooler .. then yes.
getting a powerful gpu for gaming only is more important but gpus can be upgraded anytime unlike cpus so getting a K sku cpu really makes sense.
