Intel Haswell

^that's true for every market. when there's no competition the consumers looses.

they limited the overclocking headroom with VRM inside the CPU chip. I guess Intel does not want people to get more value than what they are paying for.

I don't understand Intel's onboard gfx inclusion strategy. They include the top of the line graphics cores in the i7 range but lowest ones in i3s, this should be opposite. the people who buying a i7 for gaming will go with a discreet card same cannot be said for people buying i3 for gaming.

correct !!!

Well I guess it goes like "since customers are paying a hell lot more for an i7, they should get features befitting the price... as the price almost never justifies the improvement for most" though the logic should REALLY be what you mentioned.....

I'm waiting for a price drop for ivy i5...
The benchmarks don't look tempting enough.....

thanks for the link and I specially liked the idea of CM

Cooler Master also proposes a workaround for PSUs that may lack support:
Should customers experience problems nevertheless, or would like to enable the advanced power saving mode on older power supplies that might not support it, there is a simple fix. Simply adding a single silent case fan to the system, connected to the power supply, should provide enough additional load to keep the system running in advanced power saving mode. The only disadvantage would be that power savings in idle mode on such a system would only surmount to around 2-3W instead of ~5W.

Hmm. Interesting.

Primeabgb has added the new Asus 8 series motherboards to their website under "Latest Products"

apart from Gryphon ( mini sabertooth z87 without TUF armor ) there's no other z87 mobos but most funny is the cpu they have .. only Intel Core i7-4770 cpu to boot with motherboards starting from b85 to h87 ( z87 ) bvut at-least something is better than nothing

 

[nikhilsharma007nikx]

no there is a mpower and gaming msi edition of z87 mobos at SMC chek it out !!

Re: Intel Haswell Discussion Thread

It would be great if someone could post the estimated prices for the i5 series of haswell

Anyone ..??

 

[topgear]

There's only one available ATM ie Intel Core i5-4430 Processor @ Rs. 12,125 [SMC]

 

[icebags]

flipkart has got the whole lineup now it seems.

 

[Hrishi]

There was a time , when we had enough headroom for overclocking our proccies and get good juice out of them. Seems like now Intel only wants us to stick with what we pay for.

i think its better to stick with ivy bridge for now for gaming and vfm factor. It really makes no sense to go for haswell, as probably the next cpu lineup will be based on a different socket.

you are safe only with a i7 premium.

No no you got it wrong there mate. Haswell refresh is nothing but broadwell which is die shrink (14nm) of haswell along with a new gpu architecture.
It will fit with current 1150 socket and won't have a different socket at all. Its just like the transition from sandybridge to ivybridge.

I read about a USB Problem in z87 Motherboards , and a fix should arrive on july , are the fixed motherboards already here (kolkata) ??
How to know ?

Why Gigabyte has not launched any thunderbolt model ?

 

[nikhilsharma007nikx]

gigabyte launched no model in INDIA AFAIK

 

[topgear]

check out cost to cost [ link ] but I've head that they sometime sell counterfeit products so watch out.

 

[Ironman]

what do you mean by counterfeit Products ??

 

[topgear]

well, technically may not be counterfeit but they did deceive some customers if you believe what's going on here :

BEWARE of Fake Graphics Card at "COST TO COST" Nehru Place

now before saying that's a very old thread do read the posts in page no. 5 of the above link and I'm sure they will make you raise eyebrows

and how far some people can go over a matter like this

I recently got my Intel Core i5 4570, haswell processor from Amazon. And now looking for a mobo to go with it. (I will most probably go with a H87 board from Gigabyte or ASrock).

But what I am shocked to see is this: Two Ways to Cool Down Your Defective Overheating Intel CPU

The article explains how Intel caught red handed by building defects into products by using TIM instead of fluxless solder in the processor. It also explains how to lower the temprature by deliding the procesor, which is too risky and effectively voids any sort of warranty. But this is ridiculous.
