Review on 🔄 Renewed Intel Core i7-4770 Quad-Core Processor 3.4GHz LGA 1150 - 8MB Cache by Aditya ᠌

The performance of the stone is noticeably higher than the old versions of the 4-core i7. For example, according to my measurements, a non-overclocked i7-4770 is 20 percent faster than, for example, a non-overclocked i7-2600K. At 25 degrees in the room, at 100% load (special stress test), the cores of an unoverclocked i7-4770 heat up to about 75-77 degrees (cooler - Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 for $25, not much more powerful than a boxed one). "Aid'ovsky wattmeter" shows "package consumption" 82W. That is, taking into account the relatively weak cooler, the talk about some very special, excessive overheating of the i7-4770 is greatly exaggerated. However, if you drive 4770, then by adding only 200-300 MHz, you can easily jump to a core temperature of 80-85 or even more. That. it is clear that the additional 4-7% of performance I appreciate the risk of death of the stone or its degradation and reduce the lifespan is not worth bothering with overclocking. The most important thing is that the i7-4770 DOES NOT NEED OVERCLOCKING, its performance is just freaky even without overclocking - RAW Therapee has never flown like this. Various kinds of audio / photo / video processing programs simply rush like a super-jet. Built-in graphics show any, no matter how heavy HD video, without the slightest sign of brakes. True, I won’t say anything about the games - I think the “most boyish” of course will not fly, built-in. the graphics are equivalent to a $40 card. What is very pleasing - in idle time, the processor package consumes only 12W according to Hades and the temperature of the cores is 35 degrees. The same with the "load" of the Internet type, text. or spreadsheet editor, music via FUBAR, etc. And here is the answer to the question - a stone with which letter is better to take? Take 4770 without any letter, IMHO - the best choice!
