Difference between 2700k &amp; 5000k?
946559
The numbers represent the temperature of the light; K=degrees in Kelvin. That's about all the science I know. 5000k represents Daylight. An example would be to go outside on a sunny day in the middle of the day. 2700k on the other hand is a bit warmer, a little bit more reddish I guess. It's the kind of light you get from a setting sun that looks reddish. Daylight is what I want in the kitchen so I can tell when my food looks weird. Warm light is what I want in the living/bed room at night to read a book or watch TV.

Mine is a 3440k so i'm not sure. I would imagine they are the same but I'd check it out with the mfg.

A 270 x is basically a 270 over clocked. Basically paying more money for a card when you can just download MSI afterburner and over clock the card yourself. Which is what I did. I got a 290 instead of a 290 x and saved myself over a 100 bucks at the time. Then I just boosted the core and memory clock myself and it performs on par with the 290x.

I did NOT get the full 5500k version and I'm really pissed about that. They item's title description changed right after I

No. Here is a side by side comparison: http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i7-3770K-vs-Intel-Core-i5-3350P

The 5000AF has a refresh rate of 120 Hz while the 5000 has a rate of 60hz. If you are planning on playing games the higher refresh rate with give you a smoother transition and better motion. If you do not plan on playing games then don't spend the extra money, unless you think you will notice the difference while watching sports.

You are welcome, I hope it helps. The only reason I can see to upgrade from what you have is if you do other heavy CPU intensive programs other than gaming. Of course, if you plan to keep that computer for 5 years, who knows what games will be like then? If they are that CPU demanding in 5 years, it will be time to upgrade anyway. I have 2 3770Ks, a 2600K and a 2500K and can't tell the difference in gaming with any of them other than the GPU.

It's hard to pinpoint precisely, but considering you have a socket 775 motherboard, I'm guessing the rest of the hardwareis a bit dated too. You will get a speed bump, not a major one. If you couple that cpu upgrade with a SSD hard drive, thenyou will notice the difference.

Between 5700k and 5900k according to Rigid. Personally, I wish they were a little warmer.

Well, there's a slight difference. It's mainly price, though. Tom's Hardware ran tests comparing the 2 water coolers, though. Here are the results: Intel Core i5-3570K OC'd to 5.6GHz - Temperature ratings: (Lower is better) Corsair Hydro Series H100i Idle: 54.3(C) Load: 76.3(C) Corsair Hydro Series H110 Idle: 50.2(C) Load: 72.2(C) Intel Core i5-3570K OC'd to 4.6GHz - System Noise (Lower is better) Corsair Hydro Series H100i Idle: 38.9db Load: 47.8db Corsair Hydro Series H110 Idle: 38.8db Load: 44.5db Hope that answers your question. There isn't really "much" of a difference, so it depends if you want to spend an extra $10 or not.

you would notice a difference in video conversion apps like handbreak and games that utilize more than 4 cores. such as the battle field 3 and 4. but generally speaking its not a bad processor if you plan on overclocking to 4ghz you will need a 120mm or 240 mm liquid cooler if you want to go higher than 4ghz. as they tend to get pretty hot. but as far as AM3 motherboards are concerned this is your best option. I can play bf4 on high /ultra settings I would pair this with a r9 290 and you would have a reasonable gaming machine..I have a gigabyte windforce r9 270x which lets me play high/ ultra settings at 1080p on those games i mentioned. you would notice a difference in video conversion apps like handbreak and games that utilize more than 4 cores. such as the battle field 3 and 4. but generally speaking its not a bad processor if you plan on overclocking to 4ghz you will need a 120mm or 240 mm liquid cooler if you want to go higher than 4ghz. as they tend to get pretty hot. but as far as AM3 motherboards are concerned this is your best option.

"K" indicates a processor that can be overclock...there are i5-4690K processors currently available. The "70" vs "90" refers to the bandwidth available, with "90" having more.

"K" is color temperature, in Kelvins. 2700K is a "warm" (aka: closer to orange/red) color, 5000K is a cooler (more blue'ish) white. But the 900-series phosphors in this and other similar bulbs are intended to produce more accurate colors (light produced covers more of the spectrum), but they're less bright as a result.

You most likely no longer care but this answer is for new buyers, i had a 550lc on my 3770k for 3 years and never a single problem.

6000K has a slight blue tint to the light and it is easier to see with at night for me anyway. 10000K is almost purple and that is not a good color to use, your eyes don't see it as will and the reflections are not as prominent. I hope this helps.

The 2700K and 3500K are the color temperature ratings. A lower color temperature will look more red while a higher color temperature will look more blue. Natural light is around 5000K.
