4670k without a doubt. I just put one in my dad's machine I just built for him with stock speeds & stock cooler and it's performs exceptionally well.

This is my current setup the sorry about the pics took them with my phone and lighting is bad in here.

I fired up Unigine Tropics full 1080p maxed out settings in window mode both GPU's over 95% usage and GPU Z still shows 1 card running x4 3.0 and other x8 3.0

There is a bios update but I'm not going to risk running it and having things get borked. Thanks for the help all the same.

My scores are fantastic so I know I"m not losing any performance. 3Dmark 2011 is 15,146 and 3dmark Firestrike is 10,069. I was just trying to get it to do x8 x8. If I set it to auto it defaults to x4 and x8 3.0

Still only running 4x 8x in 2.0 pci e instead of 3.0 as it was before

That's what I did I gave up trying to get 4.5 or 4.6 just requires to much extra & temps start running over 80c. 4.4 is very respectable.

I tried setting it to PCI E 3 but when i reboot it don't take.

I've been running SLI GTX 760's for a few weeks now. I'm only able to get x4 x8 speeds for the cards. I cannot seem to get x8 x8 that I should be. They are running flawless and the benchmarks/games are off the charts. I really don't want to mess with updating bios I have my rig running perfect...

212 EVO is my recommendation keeps my 3770k @ 4.4 around 70c under normal gaming/converting situations. I stopped running IBT and all that crazy stuff I use Wprime & Multicore Super Pi to test my overclocks. As long as all 8 threads are 100% and it don't crash or blue screen I'm happy.

I'm running 4.4 auto bios everything max voltage is 1.28 turbo is left on and I'm rock stable for a year now. I got 4.5 manually putting the voltage to 1.35 but I could never get my chip to do 4.6 no matter what I did. 4.4 is a really good spot far as I'm concerned if you guys are getting i7's...

I'm running i7 3770k @ 4.4 auto everything and it just runs great. I tinkered with manual OC when I first built this machine a year ago and 4.5 is the most I could get it to run so I just put it 4.4 auto. The highest voltage I see when I'm fully stressing all 8 threads is 1.28 everything in bios...

I'm running SLI Evga GTX 760's 2 gig and I couldn't be happier. I was really apprehensive about adding another one & going with GTX 780 instead. I can say with total confidence I made the right choice. No problems with any games so far, benchmarks results are simply fantastic. Very happy

Amazing 10/10

10/10 indeed
