Overclocking

With the Corsair H100i keeping our i5-4670K cool it was easy to push it very hard indeed. 4.8GHz at one 1.27 vCore is very impressive, and demonstrating that the i5-4670K is a genuine replacement for the excellent i5-2500K. With most games not taking advantage of Hyper-Threading this could be the weapon of choice for gamers.

Power Draw

The lack of Hyper-Threading hasn’t greatly altered the power draw though, with the i5-4670K being equally as hungry as the i7-4770K.
