Soliciting advice on processor selection for video editing rig

It was actually just to highlight the voltage regulator is still on chip for devils canyon.

Thanks Paul. Some more good information.

One of the reasons I chose the CPU I use now is because of all the stories about the heat problem with some of the Haswells.

TVeblen I believe it is insane to un cap a new cpu but it does show the results and where for a while at least was Intel's capping process was a problem.
I surly believe they must have solved that problem by now.

Moving things on or off the cpu will change the temps but we have no control over such things so to me it's not worth arguing over.

I think what you are looking for is a processor that works great and maybe just adding a little better cpu cooler will make your customer happy at the right price range.
Whether one cpu is a little faster than another one I don't believe your customer will ever know or notice. They will notice overheating for sure.
It's very difficult to solve over heating problems using Team Viewer.

Yeah I was wrong about the VRM on Haswell refresh, I read it was removed. The author was obviously brain damaged. So it makes me wonder why the need for the Z97 chipsets.

Dunno really Gary mate, I know that a lot of the Z87 boards are now compatible with the Devils Canyon CPU's with a Bios update. But I am guessing the Z97's have a few new features and perhaps overclock a bit better too. I am no expert on any of this though, it's just stuff I have read. I would love to have gotten a 4790K though to see how far she would go lol but dam it would be a downgrade for me which actually annoys me! As you know I always like new stuff and it's been quite some times since I changed anything!

LOL, yeah Paul, 3 months or so?

Actually Gary, I just checked and the last upgrades I did were the CPU and Mobo on 10th Jan so 5 months!!

Dang Paul, your slacking go buy some new stuff mate

Yeah, FIVE months? I know, get a RaspberryPI and mess with it.

GeneO, he admitted he made a mistake, why the sarcasm MAYBE, MAYBE being the key word
