its not a complete build
because i only want cpu and motherboard purpose is to aquire best bang for buck cpu-mobo combo

i am kind of fan of value for money of these (below) parts
i want to buy i5-3570 (non-k) @13.5k and intel DZ75ML-45K @4.5k

i want to know how in this world its happening
z75 board @4.5k ? the what i am seeing ?

so mine question is why this board is cheaper than b75 boards ?

i can manage max around 18k after selling my current 1090t cpu + motherboard + 4GB vengence ram + piggy bank money :D

now a days i only use it for programing and music only (bored of gaming)
i don't want to miss thus deal that is why i am buying it

i may add a graphics card next year and may overclock it to 3.8-4.2ghz but not now

other parts left after selling current board and cpu are
4GB gskill sniper 1600mhz cl9 1.5v ram
fsp sega 2 500 smps
160GB wd blue hdd
lg sata dvd drive
cheap intex cabinet

actually i can't control myself from buying this z75 board and i5 cpu because these are currently giving best bang for money

i am only worry about board
why it is still this much cheap ? though i didn't find any bad reviews about it :?

one more reason is that i want an efficient cpu
because my phenom produce too much heat and this much heat makes my room hot as hell :p
i5-3570 with tdp of 77w seems very efficient and powerfull (i will undervolt it for more efficiency)
thus i want to have it

Lol :facepalm: which graphic card can be overclocked to even around 3GHz:eek::confused::rolleyes: usual limit is 1.5GHz.

I think you should keep the VFM factor aside and go for i5-4430/4670+gigabyte B85-D3H board

TDP is not all about power consumption buddy

If you are not too much into gaming, I would advice you to keep your current setup.Add 4gb of memory and get a mid end gpu later if you want to game.Phenom is a very capable cpu.

18k is the max that i can arrange and i5-4430 + b85 costs 19.5k and does not overclock (or maybe non z overclocking is there)

i can't keep its vfm factor aside because this the the reason of this upgrade/switch
phenom 1090t is already capable of doing everything i throw at it
but can't miss this deal :D

i may add a graphics card next year and may
overclock [strike]it[/strike] *cpu* to 3.8-4.2ghz but not now
i mean to overclock cpu to 3.8ghz :D
this over excitement made me to eat the word "cpu" :p

yes, phenom is enough for me but i want to get my hands on an i5, thats one of the reason for this switching (other reasons are vfm, efficiency, i5, z75 @ cheap price)

i am only concerned about board's quality, 4+2 phase, z75, stuffed with features, and costs only 4.5k
this much cheapness made me to think if its good or not
does anybody know if there is any bad in this board ? (so far sounds like its a great board :) )

which mobo do you have currently?
why do you want to buy a cpu which is "overclock" limited by intel and want to overclock?
my suggestion- if your current mobo cant be good for overclocking, buy better mobo and a cooler and overclock your cpu freely without the limitation applicable to intel cpus.
You are simply wasting money for nothing. Atleast wait for steamroller to come up. Dont go for EOLed processor line up.

i can't give up overclocking, i.e, i want overclocking headroom
overclocking is fun :D

in 18-19k
i5-4430 ~ 12k
Gigabyte/asus B85 mobo ~ 6k
4430 have 3ghz and with non-z chipset it will be limited to 3ghz only (not considering bclk overclock)
but 3570 with z75 can go upto 3.8ghz thus better performance (at stock and at overclock setting)
so performance wise 3570 is providing better bang for money
higher clocked haswell costs more

which mobo do you have currently?

You are simply wasting money for nothing. Atleast wait for steamroller to come up. Dont go for EOLed processor line up.

currently i have phenom 2 x6 1090t on ga880gm-d2h (rev3.1) board
i can stabily overclock 1090t to 3.6ghz@1.3v, 4.0ghz@1.425v and 4.2ghz@1.5v

3570 is overclock limited but 3.8ghz on 3570 will be enough and 3570k version is out of budget and i don't want to hit high overclocks

since i want overclocking for fun and 3570 is overclockable (little bit) and has gery less tdp thus i want to have it

yes its kind of wastage of money because it will be almost equal to 1090t in multi threading
but i want an i5 + overclockable (little bit)


btw thanks to all for other options :)

:? though my main question is why this intel z75 board costs 4.5k only? ( i kind of fond of thi board's vfm factor :D )

Intel DZ75ML-45K not costs 4.5k everywhehe [ only on FK I guess ] but if you want to pay more for it for whatever reason there is :D you can get it from theitdepot, snapdeal etc. anyway, the z75 chipset though supports OC but that mobo entirely is not a very OC friendly solution - just having a look at it will tell you this but for starter no vrm cooling, EC caps.

Buddy, 1090T is a pretty capable processor and at a speed of 4.2 GHz, it can surely match the gaming performance of the cheap i5 processors and beat them in multi-threaded workloads. There is no point of upgrading right now, specially with a EOL product series. After 1 and half year, you won't find a motherboard of Ivy Bridge if something goes wrong in future.
What you can do is sell of your old motherboard which is not meant for high overclocking and get a good AM3+ motherboard like Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 @ 8K or Asus M5A99FX Pro 2.0 @ 11.5K.

Sep 11, 2013 at 6:08 PM
^ @4.2ghz it consumes more than 200w which is a little bit high :D
yes, performance wise there is very little point but i5 will consume less power without compromising performance :))
btw, thanks for am3+ suggestion
its time to switch to intel :D
After 1 and half year, you won't find a motherboard of Ivy Bridge if something goes wrong in future.
board's vfm is encouraging me to take this risk :))
i found many threads praising about DZ75ML-45K but no reviews yet (nor on flipkart, though everyone rated it as 5star) :(

seems like i have to try out the board to get to know its quality
and i will surely review it ;)

that will be a good idea, as INR is gaining strength thus it sounds like prices will reduce a little
i may be able to get the 'k' version in current price of non-k :p (it was available at 13.5k on 8 august but now its over 14k )

i hope they will keep DZ75ML-45K in stock as intel already listed it as EOLed :eek:

for your kind of works,i repeat not to take an intel eoled lineup for just just the sake of power consumption. Intel rig will not decrease your electricity bill drastically. Again it is not the way to spend the hard earned money.money is not something like to be spent on each and everything you want and you need. SAVE IT.

ever since i saw this board i started saving for this board (though some other expenses also occured like outrider knife, mtb bycycle, crisis 3 etc)
but still looks like i can get enough cash to buy i5

it sounds like wastage of 19k
but it is exchanging (1090t + 880g am3+ + 4GB vengence + 4k) with (i5 + z75)
only a little bit loss

there is a little modification in plan, that is i may buy i5-3570k instead of non-k (if price drop occurs)

:) i will surely save money after buying these parts (can't promise though :)) )

TBf, If you're buying non k 3rd gen processor then buy i5 3470 it's at that segment it's costs 1.5k cheaper than an i5 3570 and the difference is just 0.2ghz. (NOTHING ELSE HD 4000 is on i5 3570K not 3570). And for getting i5 3570k and overclocking it you need a good z77 board.

yes, for ocing a 3rd gen intel core cpu a good mobo with decent number and quality of vrm is required as the vrm is still on the mobo unlike haswell and don't forget the role of vrm cooling if you are really interested in coing but if you want to try your hands on a Eoled Intel z75 board and k cpu for test and review purpose :D feel free to do it for your fellow forum members :)

4+2 phase vrm design on that z75 chipset will be a wastage when you are overclocking. you will not get stable higher speeds, otherwise you may get your board fried(if you try too much speed). Think before you take any decision.

latest price updates (nehru place)
i5-3570k and intel dz75ml45k costs 20.3k (incl vat)

i also have an ati radeon hd6770 (i thought that i fried it because when i was using it its heatsink fell down due to melted joint (heatsink and screw plate joint, seems like temp were 200'c or over), but now i found that it is working like nothing happened)

to me too i5-3470 looks more vfm.
will i be able to increase its max turbo to +400mhz that is upto 4ghz ? :?
if so then i will buy this cheaper i5 which will save me enough money to buy hyper tx3

why 4+2 phase will be wastage? (little expalination)

i am targeting for 4ghz base speed and atleast 4.2ghz trubo, that is why 'k' version is not my priority

feeling like i am going to talk to my crush :))
put a review please ;-)
i didn't got the cpu yet so little bit wait :D is there for full blown review of i5,z75 and sniper ram (including ram because i think this sniper got potential to hit over 2.2ghz)

just got the board, so here is some points that i observed
flipkart took only 20hours to deliver it (fast like i5 ;) ) (which includes night hours)
packaging was average (because they used enoough bubble wrap to wrap the box only once)
MRP of board is Rs7300 and import of july 2013

inbox accesories along with bz75ml-45k board are 2 red sata cable (with foxconn written on them), driver cd, back pannel plate (with sticker on it, which cover full plate), a yellow atrention paper, a paper with boar's layout on it, and a big chart like use manual

features (too much to write here) :))

board is shining like a bride
i was worry about its vrm, so i found that all the main capacitors (related to vrm) are soild one, only few capacitors are electrolytic
its chokes (R30 and trio r47) are a little bit smaller than that of gigabyte's one (ga880gm d2h), and vrm ics are (rds(on)) mdu1515/1514 with 45A rating of continuous drain current @Tc=70'c and only 20.8A @Ta=25'c, and 100A pulse drain current (not sure but Tc seems like chip temp and Ta seems like ambient temp), seems like good enough for 4ghz

it seems like it is manufactured by foxconn, because i found foxconn written on socket's back plate and on ps2 port block

audio chip is realtek alc662 which may supports sampling rate upto 96khz only

chipset heatsink is very sturdy (far better than gigabyte's ) and seems like it will provide very effective cooling

overall seems good, but we will have to wait for real test ;)

currently i only have karbonn a5 so i can only upload these low quality snaps :(
i will post high quality pics in real reaview (using friend's Nokia N8)

after a close look of board, i found that it contains 3 leds on board which will turn ON at high cpu temp , vrm temp (don't know about 3rd one)
sounds little bit high end feature, it can help in throttling issues ;)

something happened like this

mine friend was ready to buy this board (z75 45k) for 4.5k (another friend was ready for 4.7k but in emi)
so i went ahead fand searched for other components for him
then suddenly i saw that i5-2310 is available for 9.5k and i5-2500k for 11.8k and i5-3570 for 11.7k
so cheap :eek: (in comparision (price to performance) to i3-3220 which is of 7.5k)

so then i refused to sell this board

and now my new plan is to sell my current 1090t and 880g board
and buy either i5-2500k or i5-3570 (non-k) or i5-3470, and in future i will buy another hd6770 to crossfire with my current hd6770 (which will provide performance equalent to hd6950 i think )
and it will be ready for a sata3 ssd

so which processor to go for
a) i5-2500k (overclocked to max possible, also how much clock can i expect here ?)
or
b) i5-3570 (non-k) (overclocked to 4.1ghz with 4.4ghz single core turbo) ?

go for 2500k and overclock a little. high overclock may fry the board. also crossfiring is not recommended since it will running in x4-x4 speed afaik. so sell your old 6670 and buy a single good card.
overclocking a non-overclockable cpu is also not good.
also i dont think 6670CF will perform like a 6950.

2500k it is then :)

can't afford single gpu upgrade untill i get job (it will take atleast 1 year :p )
( 8k i have now ( only money left from my scholarship :( ) , i may/will get 10k by selling old cpu and board so 18k total for an upgrade, so 12.5k for cpu and 5.5k for hd6770 ( maybe used gpu ) )
so crossfire is the only option left for now i think

btw i have sapphire hd6770 (not 6670)
it have 2 crossfire connection for 3-way crossfire, so will it be helpfull to minimize the bandwidth limitation of x4 slot for single monitor @1080p ( if other card is also 3-way crossfire ready ) ?
