Review on Intel I5 4690 Processor Cache BX80646I54690 by Micha Chmielewski ᠌

I took for 9100. Before this miracle, I used msi-970a-g43 and AMD FX-6300. And, having experience of using both of them, I will say that AMD, nevertheless, is not at all for games (at least with powerful video cards). AMD had friezes and bottlenecks in games. (p. S, I use asus gtx 760 2gb) So, I bought this unit along with the mat. gigabyte ga-z97x-sli board. I installed the processor, smeared a thin layer of arctic cooling mx2 paste over the entire area of ​​​​the processor cover, installed the zalman cnps5x performa cooler. I launched it and was amazed: immediately silence, immediately intelligent control of the speed of the fans (although this is a problem, rather, of my old motherboard). There are two cheap fans for blowing hot air at 1200 rpm. I drove percentages with AIDA64 benchmarks: the temperature of the UNOVERCLOCKED processor under a stable 100% load is 40-43 degrees, the cores are 48-52. Pretty decent, I think. Launched krayzis 3 "welcome to the jungle", ran under the fire of the tower for about five minutes, the load on the percentage is 80-90% - the same temperature. The temperature was monitored by the motherboard software, as well as AIDA64 It makes no sense to overclock (yet), the performance is more than enough. And of course, no friezes and bottlenecks compared to AMD, no matter how flattering the reviews are about them. As the saying goes, you won't believe until you try it yourself. Benchmarks like 3dmark did not test, who needs them? Dry numbers. In general, if you are thinking of taking a good percentage with a margin for the future and normal temperatures, take the i5. The i7 is meaningless for gaming, it's more for video editing than gaming. If you need cheap video editing - take the AMD FX-series, they may not be for games, but multi-threading will allow you to successfully cope with editing and rendering.
