stability and reliability

[xMalcom]

i was reading on other forums about stability and reliability problems with the new haswell is this true or just bad luck with chips?

Probably people just being idiots as I haven't heard from any reputable sources about any 'real' issues.

I was kinda thinking the same thing thanks for the clarification

My best friend has been running a 4770k since May with no issue if that helps any at all.

I heard battery life is amazing on Haswell. Anyone here running a Haswell machine?

 

[PP Mguire]

I think Sean is, but he may have stuck with his 3770k. My LAN box will probably be Haswell unless 1150 gets a good refresh.

For A Non OC'er would the 4430 be a good Choice?

Definitely, but you should still drop the overpriced board.

I Switched to the AsRock Extreme 3 and added 760 to the list instead
