NEW Vs. USED Gaming PC Showdown - G4560 Vs. X3470 Ft. RX-470

2017-03-11
recently on the channel I've completed two builds that are around the same money one features used price-performance parts like the ex 3470 which is a fork or a threaded Zeon and is overclockable and on the other end we've got a brand new G 4560 which is the latest budget killer from Intel so let's compare these builds head-to-head with the exact same graphics card to see who comes out on top welcome back to tech city this is brian coming to you guys today with that video comparing these two builds even those who used pc parts in this build are not anywhere near the best value for money i can get there still readily available so we'll give you a good idea on how use price performance can be but anyways that said let's compare these two rigs head-to-head with each other and i'll throw down the specs of them first then we'll talk about both pcs more in depth and I'll go through some problems that I had especially with the youth PC you so now as the benchmarks have done and dusted it's time to talk about the new rig which is kind of straightforward you go out buy the parts you've got warranty very easy to put together you're going to have no problems at all and the RX 470 is well couple on both these builds is they really awesome graphics card by the way I managed to get both these cards ironically up to around about the same speed of thirteen hundred and thirty megahertz on the core the memory on one of them did go a little bit higher than the other but overall there are really different cards for the money so now it's time to talk about the used PC which honestly gave me quite a few headaches especially when it came to overclocking there were a few people in the comment section the last video I did that said that other people were getting these up to around about 4 gigahertz and 3.8 and indeed I did go around and I did check and there were people getting those overclocks and after seeing that it just comes down to the silicon lottery guys I unfortunately lost on two fronts here one in that the overclocking is severely limited on this motherboard you don't have things like qpi adjustments or voltages to change or you don't have things like the Encore ratio and you can't change the voltages for that either so you are extremely limited in overclocking in that you can't take the CPU any higher if those other variables can't go higher as well you can't adjust them or slow them down to get a higher clock speed and another big factor on this motherboard which I usually take into account with the H 55 is that I get that Xeon x34 70 with the higher multiplier and that allows me to overclock the CPU higher so that I don't have to rely on the motherboard as much however unfortunately on this motherboard it could not take the X 3472 the 24 times multiplier could only go up to 22 times on all cores and now in the past I have tested an MSI H 55 motherboard and that did get it on the 24 x multiplier which enabled me to go over 4 gigahertz so unfortunately this motherboard did have limited options also had a type on there which was pretty funny but besides that I did try and tweak it as best as I could and I could get it up to around three point seven two gigahertz stable that was the max I got and also on that note the 24 speed multiply with a certain heap of different settings did manage to go up to 24 times but it was like the weirdest thing I've ever seen the during the stability test it was dropping down to 23 times 22 and then going back up and down I've never seen anything like it before so with all that talking aside I'll try and put this into context for you guys and basically with the G 4560 it's the latest IPC but it's only two cores and four threads and even coupled with twenty four hundred megahertz ddr4 memory is still lost in the majority of titles to the ex 3470 however it does have things like USB 3 and solder 3 onboard as well so it is newer in that aspect though now the x34 70 which I would prefer since it has more potential and especially in my case I got really unlucky both in the overclocking department and that BIOS department where I couldn't unlock that extra multiplier so on that note I would probably recommend going with a different multiple what I know on Aliexpress there'll be a Zeus up there for an extra five dollars and if that enables you to unlock that turbo multiplier then you're going to be home and hose and you'll probably get around an extra 10 percent overclock guaranteed and that's even with the worst case scenario like I was put in in this situation but even at 3.72 gigahertz it was kicking a lot of ass and that memory is well from aliexpress was pretty good and the motherboard temperatures and all the temperatures here were very controlled I did have a lot of extra Headroom on both the voltages and the temperatures too and this is also tested in pretty hot ambience too and also on that note if you are getting into use price performance then I do strongly recommend looking for those local deals where you can pick up some really good bargains as this is kind of like the fast food of use price performance it's decent but it's nowhere near the best you can get there guys if you enjoyed this video then be sure to hit that like button and let me know in the comment section below what you think of both these rigs which one's your favorite and why would love to hear thoughts and opinions as always and I'll catch you guys in another tech blog soon I'm go on coming in to work and also another bill coming some March to stay tuned for that and I'll peace out for now bye
