i7-4771 vs i5-8400 - Need For Speed: Payback Graphics 512SP Mobile - Spillytelse Benchmarks

Newer PC BuilderHi Guys!The title says it all! I'm relatively new to building PC's and have never OC'ed before. I'm torn between the higher clock speed of the 4771 and the overclock ability of the 4770k. I'm new at this and a little scared by the risks of overclocking. Also, I'd like to know, will the system automatically shut down if a CPU is pushed too far? The motherboard I'm looking at is the ASUS Maximus VI Hero ATX. I'm using this system to game, capture gameplay, video edit (in HD), light programming, and school work from highest to lowest priority.

The non-K series are what Intel calls "Partially Unlocked" since Sandy Bridge. You get 4 bins (1 bin is 100 Mhz, or whatever the base BCLK is set to, in this case) on top of the max turbo clock. So the max you will be able to do with the 4771 is 3.9 Ghz (max turbo) + 400 Mhz (partially unlocked multipliers) = 4.3 Ghz max. With a small bit of BCLK adjustment, you can get 4.4 Ghz (most likely stable).If you are bent on OC'ing more than 4.3 - 4.4 Ghz, you have no choice but to get a K-model (and a good cooler). Otherwise, you can get away with a 4771 just fine. However, the price difference is nearly nil between the two models, and they both Turbo to 3.9 Ghz, so there really isn't much of a difference. If your priorities with a computer is as you listed, you won't miss any of the pro features on the non-K models (that's right, the K models lack certain features like Trusted Execution). If the price is nearly identical (within 20 bucks in my opinion), go for a K model would be my suggestion.Most motherboards offer some form of "Turbo Enhancement" where all the cores are working at the max Turbo speed, not just 1 or 2. So you can usually count on the 4.3 Ghz as your all core max speed.As for system limits, usually you get plenty of warning signs before something goes seriously wrong, such as crashes, and unusually high temperatures (on the CPU or the VRM on the motherboard). You can always establish a good baseline by reading a review or two on your preferred motherboard, to see what the reviewers have said about the OC capability of that board. Most of these boards also come with a tuning utility (in the BIOS/UEFI or in windows) that allows you to essentially push a button/click once to automatically overclock, which is great for beginners. That option is very safe and usually takes you to with in 15% of the max your CPU+Board+Heatsink/Fan solution is able to do, and that's typically enough, unless you plan on beating records.

I7 4771 any more secure than other cpus?I am stuck between the standard 4770 vs 4771. I am leaning towards 4771 only because I read on the site there is a Trusted Technology feature for it that is supposed to make the Bios and OS more secure. How relevant is this as far as cyber attacks goes? Security is EXTREMELY important to me, but like I said, I don't know how much of a failsafe that feature really is. I read up on it and don't understand quite everything about it.

I don't think those security enhancement will really matter, maybe once some decent software with this in mind comes. but really thinking about this logically, these are new features and stiff somehow everything can be tight and nicely locked without them, so in my opinion, they don't matter much.And yes, I7-4770 (non-K) exists, I have one and it has same feature set, Intel decided to remove some feature from K version, because they are probably afraid of it eating into their Xeon area too much with overclock.I say still - get I7-4771, it's good and overclocking is overrated IMO.

intel i7 4771 cpu clock speedshey! i got a intel i7 4771 processor and clocks 3700MHz is that to high i download a msi program thing and it come up with 3 different options "OC mode" "gaming mode" and "silent mode" when i open the program it was already on OC mode i don't want to oc my cpu i really don't understand much so i click gaming mode which put my cpu clock to 3900 so i straight away put it back to oc mode and and when i restarted my computer it yellow text said something like cpu under over clock how do i change to normal clock speed here is my hwmonitor for my cpu right now http://prntscr.com/8v0vwuany help is really appreciated

Just let it be the processor automatically turbo boosts to 3.9 ghz as long as its running cool enough to do so that is how it is designed no reason to slow it down

Some problems with my PC (i7-4771 + GTX 1060)Hi!Guys, need some help.Few days ago buy Gigabyte GTX 1060 6 Gb, version D5 (nearly stock frequencies). I guessed, that my system can handle this thing, using Intel Core i7-4771 with a stock clocks (i can't overclocked it), 8 Gb DDR3 1600 MHz RAM and so on.After watching few game tests on Youtube (that videos made on Intel Core i7-6700k) i make a conclusion, that my PC can give over 60 frames in Fallout4 on ultra settings in all scenes and in other games too (maybe, 5 frames less then 6700k).Well, it didn't. In the beginning of F4 i get nearly 40-50 on ultra settings when i walk outside house, in GTA4 on ultra settings i got some frame drops to 35 fps, benchmark shown 10 frames less then Youtube tests, sometimes more then 10.I updated graphic drivers, but that made no effects.I made diagnostics, power down my Wi-Fi PCI-Express card, but motherboard can handle this card maximum on 8 line, so, that mean graphic card uses all CPU 16 lines in PCI-Express 3.0 mode. No effects.CPU can't be overclocked cos it locked.Power supply unit is XILENCE Performance A+ 530W, it can hold this hardware, which include CPU, GPU, 1 RAM plank, 1 HDD 7200 rpm, 1 SSD, 4 120mm coolers.Motherboard is Gigabyte GA-Z97-HD3 revision 2.0.Need help in this question, can You help me to solve this problem with frame drops?

Its not the CPU mate its the GPU.You're assuming it's a stronger card than it is.If you're just setting ultra it maxes literally everything & some settings are plainly too much for a 1060 to handle at max.Set graphics to high & then tinker with settings manually if you feel the need - guide here - you'll see godrays alone can nearly cut performance in half!!! http://www.geforce.co.uk/whats-new/guides/fallout-4-graphics-performance-and-tweaking-guideVice versa GTA V http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/guides/grand-theft-auto-v-pc-graphics-and-performance-guideGrass on ultra alone cuts fps in half.

RAM for i7-4771 and H87I'm not a gamer but do number-crunching. I think the on-board GPU will be good enough on this Haswell but I understand that makes the RAM more important. Don't need high fps but do use big image and video files on occasion, and lots of multitasking. I won't be OC'ing (no K, no Z).I'm thinking of the MSI H87-G43 MoBo. Seems good for my purposes with the newest on-board GPU.Nothing I've looked at on Newegg says it's compatible with LGA 1150 or 4th gen Intel but I looked up some listed by MSI for that MoBo and found them (without saying they're 1150 compatible). Is this just old ad copy? Do I care? I would have thought the newest sticks would say they're 1150 compatible by now.Is there an advantage for me going to 2x8GB instead of what seems to be the usual 2x4GB? I'm thinking of future-proofing here since I don't upgrade often.Finally, RAM speed. 1600 for sure but will I see a big improvement with higher? I might need to go to a Z87 board for that but that's OK. Just trying to keep things balanced and not overpay for something that isn't really used well. As well as future-proofing for new software.Looking at G.Skill since everyone seems to like it for performance. I'm not sure what the series are but the prices aren't much difference. I think X is for OC'ing so I don't need that but Trident or Ripsaw or ... ?Thanks!

Will my i7-4771 bottleneck GTX 1060/1070?Hello.I upgraded my PC 2 years ago, I think CPU is still good enough but I have only GTX 670 now so I am thinking of upgrading to 1060 6GB, maybe 1070 but Im not sure.Other specs of my PC are:Intel Core i7-4771 @ 3.50GHzMotherboard MSI Z87-G45 gamingRAM: Kingston 2x8GB DDR3 (PC3 - 10600)PS: Does it matter if I buy MSI card as I have MSI motherboard too?
