I5 3570 paired with Intel DQ77MK versus I5 4590 with ASUS H87M-E – comparing their performance profiles.
I bought a second hand SFF PC that came with an i5 4590 paired with the ASUS H87M-E motherboard. My main PC has i5 3570 and an Intel DQ77MK motherboard. I understand what I'm sacrificing regarding motherboard IO. I don't however know the nuances of each motherboard other than that the ASUS board as an 8 pin CPU power connector as opposed to the 4 pin on the Intel board. As far as the CPU performance. I can't decide which is best for me to keep. I couldn't find sufficient benchmarking results and I frankly don't see myself going to the process of benchmarking games (Maybe I should). I want to resell the SFF system but cannot decide on what to keep in my PC, which is why I turn to the Forum for guidance. P.S. I don't plan to linger long on my decision an I am only leaning toward the 4590 because it is newer
The gap between them is minimal, making it unnecessary to exchange components.
It depends on your choice. The variation is under 5%, so consider a Windows reinstall when switching to the 4590 system.
I believe updating the windows will keep me using the 3570. I don’t want to deal with drivers that weren’t cleaned up or set up properly.
