Hi all:
Having a weird drop in performance after upgrading from my i7-920 @ 4 ghz to the i7-6700k @ 4.xghz (stock and overclock seem to have the same performance).

I just swapped my Bluestorm 500w PSU for a new BFG Tech ES-800, which I got a pretty nice deal on. Prior to installing the new PSU, I had my Q6600 running prime stable at 3.34ghz (9x370). Motherboard is an ASUS p5k vanilla, vcore set at 1.415 in the bios (substantially lower in windows -- I...

and so on.
I'd happily been running @ 335mhz on the FSB for quite a while on XP; something in the neighborhood of 8 months or so.

Anyone have any suggestions as between these two? I'll mostly be using the computer for average desktop use with some moderate gaming, including an xbox360 hook-up through the VGA port. I might also hook it up to an HDTV source if I become so inclined.
Price is roughly the same, although the...
