Well, it's not like that for AMD users.
Ignore that I said anything, I applied knowledge of AMD boards to Intel boards without realising that such a massive difference could exist at this point in time.
I'm pretty sure that your statements can't be applied to AMD boards either but I won't harass you anymore about it.....for now. If you had said caps instead of mosfets and left out the part about the thermal compound that would make a bit more sense.

If I did that my "posts per day" stat would be half of what it is.
There wasn't a part about the thermal compound.
The heatsinks on my motherboard, and the older models it's based off of, are such utter garbage that it can't handle 78w to the CPU with a case temp of 17 degrees celsius without heating up as if I'd an overclocked 8350 in there.

Thermal solution is another term for thermal compound.

The motherboard is a collection of many components on a circuit board. Some of which can have heatsinks. You're either referring to chipset heatsinks, mosfet heatsinks, or VRM heatsinks. I can't tell without more information. And until I can figure that out I have no idea what you're talking about.
Assuming this is the chipset heatsinks that you're talking about (most likely) we must then determine:
1. How you know it's the cheap thermal compound that's causing the issue. Or how you know what thermal compound is being used.
2. What temperature it's reaching.
3. What temperature is considered safe and whether your chipset temperatures are actually unsafe. Chipsets are generally designed to get pretty hot without issue.
And of course none of that would be applicable to a haswell board because they don't even have a proper chipset (only a PCH). As do a number of modern Intel and AMD platforms.
Hi Guys, i have to re-activate this thread.
Has anyone tested Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 and Donkey Kong Country Returns with i5-4670k and can ensure that this three games runing without ANY performance lags and NO sound issues?
Yes, plenty of people have tested those games on an i5-4670K. This CPU will run both games just fine. If you want absolutely no sound issues whatsoever, you still need LLE audio for SMG 1 & 2, but if you can deal with minor volume issues (and I mean minor, nothing gamebreaking) HLE audio in the latest development builds has since fixed many issues with sound in the SMG games.
As always, all you need to do is overclock until your performance issues go away when you have an unlocked -K model.
Thank you!
I just see that the i5-4690K cost the same as the 4670k. The 4690k should the 4670k blast away in Dolphin, or what do you mean?
I wouldn't say the 4690K would blast away the 4670K. They're pretty much equivalent except for the 100MHz boost in the 4690K (stock and Turbo) and the fact that the 4690K will overclock much better than the 4670K. The thing is, both will run Dolphin excellently. The 4690K just happens to be more excellent.
Having said that, if you don't own a 4690K, get it instead of a 4670K. If you have the choice between either one, there's no reason to go with the 4670K since it's technically inferior.
Thank you very much!

Do you think the 4690k (with oc) is fast enough to emulate Galaxy 1 und 2 with LLE, without frame drops/sound issues? Or is this CPU fast enough only with HLE?

It'll be more than fast enough for LLE audio with no drops or sound issues. I would, however, test how it sounds on HLE audio first before you go overclocking; if the quality is acceptable then you won't need LLE audio.
