When trying to plug in WD 3TD, Windows 7 will not boot

Haswell is simply a 10% overall increase over IB like IB was to SB. Most of the power savings will be found in the mobile market. You can still get cheap B85 boards for them, but a K CPU is wasted on anything but a Z board really. We won't see any real performance increases until Haswell-E comes out and the mainstream market will follow with DDR4 in 2015. Still though, every incremental increase is more of a step ahead of AMD. All that matters to them.

Thanks PPM for the excellent info again. Wow, Haswell-E with DDR4 in 2015...that is a long time away. The world as we know it may end before then!

Ok, one more question:

Can my ASRock B75M-ITX handle any overclocking of my new Intel i7-3770k?

Or, was my choice of a "K" Intel processor all in vain?

Haswell-E is coming Q3/4 2014, and the mainstream successor to socket 1150 (after Haswell, Haswell 1150 refresh Q2 2014) will be DDR4 in 2015 coming after Haswell mainstream chips.

No, K CPUs can only be overclocked on Z chipset boards.
