Ok, so here's the questions : which one to get?
Currently I'm running i7 2600k. Last year I was running it at 4.9 ghz stable, fabruary 2012 it stopped being stable and I was forced to push back to 4.8 ghz, well now I can't reach stability at 4.8 anylonger, and 4.7 seems to be holding atm.
I'm running a 7970x3 and if the trend continues I will soon be getting some nice bottlenecking to do CPU.
So I was looking at "replacements" - a quick replace for 3770k while having same P67A UD7 B3 board, or go all the way and get 3930k and asus maximus IV for it ?
Cooling the system atm with 1x120mm 1x140mm 3x120mm rads in one loop with Koolance 7970 blocks and XSPC Raystorm on CPU
Primary use : a) gaming with eyefinity b) photoshop
P.S. got a place where I can get 3930k for 470$. So can't make a decision here.
