i7 Bloomfield vrs Lynnfield

Both are the same price with almost the same spec's. Which one is better for FPS without overclocking?

Bloomfield

They're both good choices...for a system with a single graphics card...but if you would ever consider using 2 graphics cards, then Bloomfield is FAR better IMHO

BTW - Why would you not want to OC :shrug:

I just dont know how and it seems complicated lol

:O it takes a bit of patience but its very simple and with the i7 its hard to go wrong! its a cheap inexpensive way of getting $100's more performance for nuting

. give me a PM if u ever want a hand with trying out overlclocking and ill be happy to lend a helping hand

Both great choices, cant go wrong. The real question is if you are going to need 16x+16x. This would require very high end cards to saturate the 8x+8x of the P55 (lynnfield) chipset. If you plan on OC'ing two 5870's or GTX470's, then I would opt for a 1366 setup, if you keep a single card setup or a midrange SLI setup, 1156's x8+x8 is fine.
