Hey I was planing to build a new gaming rig soon but i dont know what to pick the 1366 or the 1155 socket. OR if i should just wait for the new 2011 Intel CPU? What should i do?
Intel 1366 or 1155
- Thread starter play3dgame
- Start date
agree with Tortuga on waiting game but I'd go with i7 1155 2600K. Which ever you get get the Gigabyte Mobo (mature drivers)...OC'ing is much better. See Toms' review / Video
You also have AMD bulldozer and Intel Ivybridge coming out. If you wait too long you will end up changing everything and that really sucks Lol

Meh, he said gaming rig, for that purpose I think the 2500k would be the better bet, as he could put the extra $100 bucks into a better gpu which will be doin most of the work. Just my warped 2 centsBut if money is of no issue, 1366 is still the champ.
Opps...got his and another thread on workstation combined,,,multiple tabs can be a pain in the arsey. I agree with 2500K...not much of a performance increase other than 2 extra MB of L3 cache to substantiate 2600k price tag for his needs

If you need the rig now, go with the best for your needs/budget now. Do you need 6 cores? HyperThreading (2600k)? If no, go with the 2500k.
Also compare some reviews. If you don't like to read, watch TTLs great reviews on Youtube, but those on OC3D are more complete.
If you don't need de rig right now, wait until you do, and then think about AM3+ or 2011 sockets.
But with the waiting game you'll loose a few months of fun with a realy good rig (1366 or 1155). Will it be worth it? You decide.

I wish I could afford one of those 1366 980 extremes. 1300.00 us dollars i think

Yer i would be gaming multitasking video editing
Well, in that case I would take a serious look at the i7 2600k 4 cores/8 threads. If you do alot of video editing/encoding those types of things would really benefit from the hyperthreading. But if games are your main concern the 2500k is a beast, and will still perform well for your video editing. The 2600k has performed better in a few benchmarks than the 980x even.

Tortuga thanks for all the info really helpful
and if you win the silicon lottery you can get 5 GHz out of that 2500K like Tom did at least 4.6 stable with good cooler
Hi, Excellent choice mate that's what I would have gone for, that cooler will be fine mate if it wasn't they wouldn't be using it

cheers for that, wasn't too sure at first if the gelid would be good enough given that a 4.5ghz overclock is pretty high, we shall see though
