Intel K over KF is there a reason?
Posted by MightyBear9@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 8 comments
Hello fellow redditors, I was wondering, is there a reason why someone who almost only play games on their pc takes regular K intel cpu over KF? And i see lot of people to do that. They are same cpus one has integrated gpu the other does not. I personally don't see a reason to buy cpu with integrated gpu if you have discrete gpu and you mainly use your PC for gaming. If you buy KF you can save some money and you will have your monitor pluggen in your discrete gpu anyways. If there's some reason i'm missing let me know thanks.

in case the gpu breaks or otherwise doesn't work, you can troubleshoot using the ~~increased~~ integrated graphics

This. I will NEVER buy a CPU without graphics, nor recommend any do so. Its like a spare tire, you dont think you need it until you do, but when you needed its REALLY useful and you will never go back to not having one.
2nd reason is being able to more easily reuse the CPU and not make more e-waste. With graphics you can reuse it as a web/Netflix machine straight up without buying a GPU. A i7 6700k today is still fine for day to day stuff.

Ah yeah the 14900kF e waste. We will use it as a "netflix" machine. Dont mind buying kf cpu and just buy cheap shitty gpu if you want "spare tire" IN CASE you will need a spare "tire" Also, discrete gpu can be used afterwards with ANY cpu. Your argument collapses under its own weight

No. Because some problems are with the PCIE slot. Ive had this problem. Where I had to use the integrated GPU to reflash the MB because it wasn't seeing the GPU. And I done have room to store a GPU. The Netflix machine can be a small case without a GPU. So no your arguments collapses

if you can find a case that cant fit any gpu i will be VERY impressed. also literally every motherboard has more than 1 pcie slot, and as for storage space for that HJUGE BIGASS LARGE gt 710 dont worry its smaller than your phone. so no you are wrong again spreading false information

Have you not heard of Micro ATX? I had a full ATX board and the other slots were not working. I dont want to buy GPU that is less functional and take sup space. Not everyone is has cabinets fill of parts. When I want to recycle the CPU I don't want to have to buy a GPU or other wise I have to give up my diagnostics GPU. There are lots of valid reason for people to have this. You seem really angry about this.

matx boards have more than 1 pcie slot, again 100% false infromation. discrete gpu is 100% of the time more functional than igpu, and here you go again on insisting that you are amazon warehouse and you have to keep an eye on storage, whatever bro just keep overspending for igpu that you will never use if your intentions with it are "in case my discrete gpu dies i have igpu"

I meant to say Mini ITX mixed those up. But some MATX don't have multiple full sized slots. And also as I said before sometimes none of the slots work.
I found the IGPU to be much more useful in my real use case. And alot more people here agree
