Nice, Very Nice!
Have been looking forward to upgrading my i5 to an i7 and finally got the money together to do it. I had checked out possible upgrades including a better i5 but decided that I wanted an i7 and chose this one based on reviews and product information. I have a Dell Inspiron 3847 that came with a i5 4460 running at 3.2 gigs. I don't overclock so I wanted something that would run faster without having to overclock it. This seemed the best bet for me. I made up my mind when I brought a i3 system running at 3.7 gigs. This little system had a bit of zip to it and it, so far, has run most anything I could throw at it along with it's GTX-750 Ti SC graphics card. So I ordered the i7 and it came in right on time and I opened the shipping box to see what I had. The first thing I noted was the included heat sink fan combo that came with it. It was OK, but plastic push pins have failed me before as mounts on the case fans so that I didn't like. Also it was about half an inch thick and the heat sink fan combo on the existing i5 CPU was about an inch or over tall and had much larger fins. I did note that the heat sink combo that came with the i7 had a copper surfaced contact area where the heat sink seated on the CPU but the pins and size made me decide to stay with my i5's old heat sink cooler that came with the system. (I also noted that the i5 combo mounted to the MB with already mounted screws so if I needed to I could still switch combos a bit easier. (This didn't turn out to be the case, however.) So I got the Inspiron and brought it to the kitchen table where I do any inside-the-case computer work and removed the side panel and got busy. Laying it flat and grounding myself well, I proceeded to remove the heat sink fan combo with the only problem being it took a bit of force to get the screws holding down the heat sink to come loose as they were tightened down really well. After getting the screws loose, I checked out the mounting for the fan heat sink combo to see how it had been mounted so I could make sure and replace it properly. I like the way the heat sink was held down with four springs which push the heat sink down onto the top surface of the processor and provide a very firm fit after you've got the heat sink compound on. (I used Artic Silver which works for me.) The one thing that surprised me a bit was the amount of force that was needed to re-latch the hold down clip. It was a bit more than I felt it should be, but after checking how the i5 felt it wasn't all that much force to latch it. (Made sure to get the new chip in right too.) After I got the heat sink compound on and replaced the heat sink combo, and got it tightened down firmly. it was time to see what it would do. I normally leave the side panel off till I check out any new installation I do. In that way you can find any problems and correct them. The last thing I did was re-plug the heat sink fan back into the MB and then took the system to the Computer Room and hooked everything up. I turned the power on and went to the BIOS as a check to see if the CPU was seen correctly and it was with all functions showing OK. I then got the only glitch of the hold morning when I exited the BIOS and instead of booting to Windows10 Pro, it just shut down. Ops, I said to myself and pressed the power button again. This time the system started up with no problems and booted right into Windows. I noted it felt sort of like my i3 in that it seemed to zip into Windows instead of sort of "walking" in. I had been reading that these i7s were noted for running a bit hot, so I ran Speccy and checked the temps. At idle it ran at 35 to 36c and under load it topped out at 65c and that was lower than what I expected it to be. A very pleasant surprise indeed. I got another one when I checked the actual speed the i7 was running at. It settled in at 4.2 gigs. and I hadn't done anything but install it. I sat there and watched the temps for a bit and noted that they didn't get above 40c when idling and when I loaded it down it just stayed around 65c with only one time peaking out at 68c. It seems I might have done a fair job with the sink heat fan combo too. I then loaded up one of my favorite games (Remember Me) and got killed off right away as I failed to respond quickly enough as I was expecting the AI to be a bit slower. Nice! Overall the system "feels" solid and runs that way. I note it has the "zippy" feel the i3 has but more so. In my games, I'm finding myself having to react a bit sooner than I used to and that's really a pleasure. So far, the only thing that popped up was the shut down at the first boot up after installing the CPU. It's not given me any other problems at all and it's nice to have things actually load up when clicked on without any little pauses and have the game scene transition loads go by so fast that you can't even read the hints anymore. Very Nice! One other thing that I was happy to see was when I checked the activation status of Windows 10 Pro and found it was still activated! Another very good thing to see! Overall I think I got a real winner here! Update: 4/17/16: One thing I did notice with this CPU was that, at first, it was a bit unstable and ran a bit warm. I noted the first time it booted up a slight freeze then reboot and then Windows came up. The first set up was this way and then I started having freezes, lockups, and unannounced reboots running at 4.3 gigs. It seemed my first impressions were a bit high. I did a reset of the heat sink compound and tried again. Same thing at 4.3 gig. After placing my old i5 3.2 gig back in for a check and it running just fine, I decided to try once again. I removed the i5 and put in the i7. This time I cleared the BIOS as I had run into having old BIOS values mess me up at times. I also added a 120mm fan to the case's left side to set up a bit more air flow thru the case. I reseated my sound card and graphics card, and I made sure all cables were tight. This time when I booted up, the system did not hang but booted to the screen informing me a BIOS clear at been done. It was smooth and there wasn't a hang to it. I went into the BIOS and disabled the on board sound and that's it, I left everything else like it was and booted into Windows 10 Pro. Windows booted up without a problem and loaded fine. I cranked up the Intel Extreme Tuning Ulit, and checked things out. Turned out I was again running at 4.2 gig. The system seemed OK, but was some of the readings looked a bit off to me, so I decided to try a test and sure enough the system seemed to be a little shaky to me. I decided on another test before I ran any stress tests. I set the system at 4 gigs solid and observed the readings. Things seemed to setting down and the temps seemed to stabilize around 35 to 40c. Not as low as hoped but in range. Since I hadn't planned on an overclock anyway, this would be OK IF they didn't get much higher. I then ran 10 minutes worth of CPU stress and memory tests after a 5 minute benchmarking in Intel's uitil., and then a 10 minute stress test under OCCP and the system sailed thru them all with the temps never getting above 83c but just spiking to it and no locking up, freezing or reboots. I've noted it seems to run around 35-40c when idling and around 70-76c under load. The main thing now is it seems very stable at 4 gigs for me and that's what I wanted even if it took me a little while to get there. Update: 7/18/16: OK, so here's the finally setup I had to run with. First, turned Turbo-boost OFF in BIOS. Second, ran Intel Extreme Tuning Tool and set CPU core voltage on this system at 1.1005 volts, with Manual static setting only as that was the setting that got me the most stable running. (No Adaptive as, on my system, this causes lock ups and reboots when sudden voltage spikes up or down hit the CPU.) In this set up, the system is very stable, runs cool (Around 35-40c idle and 50-60c under load) and allows me to run my games and any thing else without any problems at all. The only problem that I run into every once in awhile is when somehow the static setting gets switched back to the adaptive set up and I don't spot it in time, I'll get the total system lock up and need to reboot by the power button on the system, otherwise no problems and system runs very solid without problems. (I've play one game 12 to 24 hours without a problem with the static setup.) (Think that Intel should allow the user to "set" the most stable profile ae the "default" profile for their system but they don't.) I maybe should have got the "locked" 4790 but I wanted the 4 gigs running speed and not 3.6. Still think it's a really good buy.

System was purchased almost entirely on Amazon. My previous i7-860 build was done the same way. Amazon is a great way to make a computer. I really like the Amazon site tips where they tell you what other parts people are buying along with your processor or motherboard etc.. Very helpful and dead on. I picked away at buying parts for this over the last 6-7 months almost like a layaway program. I popped in the win 10 disc and voila I was up and running in literally minutes, scary fast. Negative Windows 10 reviews on the site are all from non-verified free upgrades from non-purchases. Don't read them!! Worthless. Buy the disc and get a real operating system. 01. i7-4790k LGA1150 02. Gigabuyte Z97X-UD3H motherboard 03. Gigabyte Nvidia GTX960 Windforce 3fan 4gb vidcard 04. Kingston 4x8gb HyperX Fury 1866mhz PnP(non xmp) 05. Samsung EVO 500gb SSD 06.

Pioneer BD-rw BluRay/DVD/CD writer 12. (next) Hauppauge 2255 HDTV pcie tuner I don't know what else you can say about a processor that I read where people have overclocked the cpu into the 5ghz range. On the day I loaded win10, I gave it the first big test with the mobo Intel Graphics. I dialed up Steam and put Tomb Raider on the HDTV to see how the new processor and Gigabyte motherboard ran without a real GPU. WOW, was I shocked. TR ran on normal level where my i7-860 runs TR. i7-860 system won't run TR on ultimate settings at all. Once I got the Gigabyte GTX960, TR ran on ultimate without even breaking a sweat. The entire system ran me about $1500 and the only other software I purchased was Adobe Lightroom and Nero 2015. If you match the pieces of this system you will have a nice ready to run anything PC. Windows 10 so far is impressive, but was very upset to lose my favorite MCE from win7 that ran everything perfectly. Gotta start reinventing the HDTV portion. UPDATE:2016-01-15, The Amazon purchased computer parts above have proved to be ROCK SOLID one year later. I did recently buy the new Tomb Raider, Rise of, which has the ability to run on DirectX 12 or not. Also the game is one of the first to utilize all cores of the i7-4790k processor. I haven't verified this other than what I heard once. The game runs Rise of TR on ULTIMATE settings, but I think the DirectX 12 needs some work. I can't say enough about this processor and computer build. With so many other computer builds or rebuilds, there is tweaking and hunting for patches or fixes(win98,winXP,Vista,win7), and this win10 i7-4790k, it is simply awesome. You turn it on, and you are ready to be computing or dialing up Steam in seconds! My win7, you can go refill your coffee and anything that coffee induces during start up. The $300+ for the processor was a great buy. I really think some of the games and programs may be able to start utilizing some extra lanes of power they give us. The video processing is really fast, and I really like the USB3.0 for double write speeds versus USB2.0. I have switched many of my HDs to 2-3TB WD Passport drives with their smaller sized increase speed, and have dumped several larger hotter running HDs that are more affixed to the computer. If considering a new build, I would definitely stay with the LGA1150 genre. The parts for slightly older hi-tech items is dropping, while the newer parts for the i7-6700's seemed quite bit higher when I made this computer. RAM, video cards, motherboards, are all cheaper with this LGA1150 processor. I haven't compared specs, but the ones I see, are not big enough to warrant a higher payout for parts.

awesome chip! osx
This is my review of the 4790k after 3 days of owning it. During the course of these 3 days, I have not had a boat load of time to play with it. But I did get a chance to OC it. And I definitely have felt its power. So, a lot has yet to be learned about this CPU, but for what its worth, heres my review. Notes: For this record, this is a osx build. Not gonna list all the specs. El Capitan. See the OC section of this review to learn more about OCing hackintosh with this chip. Performance OOB: My computing tasks are 85% raw image editing (photography),12% web browsing, and 3 % video editing anymore. But I needed a CPU that could crush raw HDR photography blending in Lightroom 6. Just for comparison, this 4790k is probably 4 times faster at creating raw HDR files from 5-7 exposures than my previously owned i5 4430 3.0Ghz. It exports edited images more than twice as fast... This thing is definitely fast. Truly, the fastest you are going to get for gaming, everyday computing, basic photo editing, etc. You can't get a faster chip. I know, I know, the 6700k is out. But its hardly any better than this chip. DDR4 does absolutely nothing for performance at this early stage... Most people will tell you to stick with the 4790k. The only chip i really contemplated having over this one is the x99 6-core 5820k. My Cooling: Using a Hyper212 Evo. Stock fan... 4 case fans (2 corsair SP120s, 2 NZXT 120mm). Stock CPU temps with my build are about 32-34C. I was going to go water cooling for this but when you TRULY research it, AIO water coolers are practically a joke when it comes to reliability. But I might make the jump to H2O just to reach better OC freq. Overclock: Ok, so I never overclocked before. I knew I wanted to OC this chip. This was my first chance... So, I decided to read up on it to prevent any idiotic impulse decisions... Little did I know there is basically no "beginner" info for getting into overclocking that is relatively simple to understand. In short: I went to the BIOS and set Vcore at 1.25V, Ram at 1333mhz (1866mhz rated), multiplier at 45x ... Monitored temps with Intel Power Gadget and stress tested with Prime95 (mac). Nothing too in-depth. OC Results: So, i think I have a decent chip for OC. Either that, or im doing something wrong that I dont know of haha. Hyper212 Evo - stock fan. 4.6GHz @ 1.265V ~83C Max (P95 for 5 minutes) PASS 4.6GHz @ 1.250V ~82C MAX (P95 for 5 minutes) FAIL 4.6GHz @ 1.260V ~83C MAX (P95 for 10 minutes) PASS The last OC, I sit "stable" at. For now. I know its only 10 minutes and 5+ hour tests are "the accepted standard" but P95 at 10 minutes stresses my CPU harder than I will ever use it. Heck, its so fast that even exporting a heavily edited 5 minute movie project will take less than that.. Im certain its stable. But will be testing more at this OC. Conclusion: I'll update this as needed. A few points... buy it. Its good. Its all you need. Crush the stock heatsink with a hydraulic press if you plan on stepping outside 4.0ghz base clock. If you're heavily gaming (i dont game), get a good cooler like the Cryorig H7 (i want that) or the Noctua big coolers. Hyper 212 is decent. Cryorig H7 is a better product... But anyway, if you're gaming, you wanna keep your CPU cooler as much as possible, not only for performance, but simply to keep the wear and tear down on it. ------------- UPDATE 6/19/16 ----------------------- So i've owned this chip for about 2 weeks now. Since then, I have decided to upgrade my cooling solution. I went with an h100i GTX. Stock thermal paste. Just slapped it on there (cleaned the old paste off first). Using stock fans and added 2 more nzxt case fans on the other side of the rad to keep it cooler. Temps with the h100i are better. Not as good as I expected, but they are good. I can now keep temps stable clear up to probably 4.8GHz. I only stress test with p95 for a few minutes. Anything past that is just unecessary. I don't push my CPU as hard as p95 ever, so theres no sense it wasting time (im sorry if you disagree). Now, I was able to OC to 4.6 GHZ with no issues on temps. About ~80C with my h100i and everything running. and 1.247V I am trying to get to 4.7 but this chip is causing me to crank the voltage at 4.7 to nearly 1.30V which i dont like because my Vcore spikes during P95 past the Vcore set value. Im not a great overclocker, so im curious to see if someone else could do better on this chip. But honestly, I think my chip is decent for OC, but its definitely not a golden chip like some seem to get.

No problems, great value
No issue with new i7. Running smoothly after new paste and already getting over 10 boost in processor speed over my old 4090.

Cool, quiet, powerful processor
I have owned this particular processor since November 2015. It has been paired with an Nvidia GTX 970 since that time, though I am upgrading it to a GTX 980ti soon. As for the processor, I paired it with a liquid cooling pump and it stays extremely cool at idle and even under load. When idle, it chills at around 28-30 celcius, and even under load in a game I rarely see it go above 63 degrees celcius using RealTemp. The processor is very quiet with the liquid cooler and the graphic card gets louder before this. But since I game with headphones on, I don't really notice. As for the performance of this processor, it is a beast. I didn't run benchmarks on it, but in actual gameplay like World of Warcraft, Rome II Total War, Total War Atilla, GTA V, Witcher III and many more I never experience anything I would attribute to a slow CPU and I am running, at the same time, a VirtualBox server in the background and hosting a Plex Media Server (though admittedly I'm not usually WATCHING anything from my plex media server while gaming, so it's not trying to encode video and play a game) and this thing never slows down. For those debating between the i5-4590k and the i7-4790k, I chose the 4790 because I planned on eventually doing video editing and read that extra power was needed from hyperthreading. I also chose it because, in my mind, 8 cores (4 actual, 4 hyperthreaded) are better than 4 without hyperthreading. In my mind, I felt I was better future-proofing my computer than if I had just gone with the 4590k. I'm sure people could say "but more than 4 cores isn't needed in games" and I would agree, but we don't know what the future will hold in terms of games that CAN make use of more than 4 cores, and I also like having the overhead to know that even if I'm playing a game I can be running whatever the heck I want in the background and this thing keep on plugging. I did not do much overclocking. I just did the auto overclock that comes in the BIOS of my board. It seems fast enough on its own and I didn't want to mess with much stuff. As for this processor against newer Skylake processors, I read reviews and benchmarks where this processor was very close to the newer processors with similar amounts of cores, and I don't need the newer features present on the new chipset and newer boards. So I'll probably skip Skylake and consider the generation AFTER Skylake if the performance gains are significant or I need the newer features present on that future generation chipset. So I'm expecting to keep this CPU around for AT LEAST another year, probably 2 or more.

Fast processor, great value, but runs hot!!
I did a fair amount of research before I bought this processor and I decided to go for it for several reasons. It was unlocked (meaning I can choose to overclock it if I want), a lot of people have overclocked it and had it run very stable even on air. I'm not an overclocker but I like buying overclocking processors because if they are meant to be overclocked and run stable, they should run very stable if you don't overclock it. It also has a very high clock speed which may me choose this over several other i7s and i5s. For not much more money, you can get this beast. After installing it in my new motherboard (Asrock z97 Fatal1ty) and 8 GB of ram (I know, not much but enough to make it run), i got windows 7 ultimate installed and everything seemed to work well. I should mention that I used the stock cooler that came with the processor (which are usually known to not be great, but usually they work well enough). At one point, I decided to head into the bios and make sure everything checked out correctly. That's when I noticed the processor temp. It was idling at around 40-45 C!!! I thought that it seemed a little strange and I wanted to try pushing the processors and see where the temperatures would level off at. So I downloaded a tool called Core Temp to monitor the processor temps from within windows. Then I downloaded Prime 95 and tried running a stress test to see where the temps would go. Immediately after starting the test, the temps jumped to 75C (within a second or two) and after about 4 seconds I was getting warnings about the CPU temp reaching dangerous levels. I quickly stopped the stress test. This got me thinking, I wonder if I didn't seat the heat sink down properly. After checking the heat sink I decided it was down completely and I turned the computer on again, only to see the same extremely high temps. At that point, I decided to remove the heat sink, clean off the stock thermal compound and apply arctic silver 5. After re-installing everything and turning the computer on, the temps seemed about 10 degrees cooler all around. Unfortunately, about 10 seconds in to the Prime 95 stress test, the temps jump up to 80 + degrees. Still too hot for my comfort. I've read quite a few reviewers that said they overclocked to 4.5 and 4.6 GHz on just the stock cooler so I'm not sure why mine is running so hot. Despite the processor running this hot I still gave it 4 out of 5 starts for the value at the given price point. Stock coolers tend to be okay at best and perhaps my processor just runs a little hotter than most (or maybe all the 4790Ks run hotter) but this is a problem that is easily fixed by buying an aftermarket air cooler. I've ordered the Cooler Master 212 EVO which is a beast compared to the stock cooler. I have no doubt that installing it will drop my temps down at least 20 degrees under load (maybe more). It only cost about 30 bucks and I don't consider it a huge problem (hence only dropping 1 start off the processor). I just wanted to post some temps of my processors here for other people to see so they have something to compare their processor to. If yours is running hot like mine, try a different aftermarket cooler like the cooler master 212 EVO (or many others out there). If I remember, I'll try it out and come back to update my review with the temps from the new heat sink. One last note, my processor was made in Vietnam and the numbers on the processor are: SR219 X432A796. It was purchased in October of 2014 for any who are interested in which batches are being sold now.

Flawless.
Update Jan 2021: Years later I am still using this i7-4790k with an Asus Maximus VII Hero. Zero problems. I have upgraded to 32GB RAM @ 2,400Hz. I upgraded from a SATA 256GB SSD to a 2TB m.2 SSD. I have a GTX 1080 Ti 11GB. I am playing Cyberpunk 2077 and other new games. The processor has not become a bottleneck on any games, only the graphics card surprisingly. Depending on the game, I usually can play 1440p or 4k on highest settings and still get 55+ FPS. But not Cyberpunk - it runs at 1080p, and only if I turn screen space reflections halfway down. Original: Flawless. Incredible performance for the price. The proper way to select a processor is to go a CPU benchmark list and decide on your performance per price number. Google CPU benchmark list. I ought to mention a couple of things about processors and overclocking. Many similar chips in a processor family are the exact same thing. They are tested at the factory, and the resulting stable setting is then reduced, and locked at a certain frequency and then labeled as a 4770, 4790, etc. The K at the end indicates the frequency is set but unlocked, so you can overclock it via BIOS. For this particular processor (4790K) you will still have variances. Many many of them can be stably overclocked to 4.4 GHz and then go up or down and see what your limit is. It seems that 4.8GHz is the golden goose for this processor, even on water cooling. The way to overclock is to set the frequency and manually set the vcore voltage to a recommended level, then slowly reduce the voltage until it crashes under test, then slowly go up a little and stress for at least 8 hours. Paired this processor with an Asus Maximus VII Hero, 16GB Adata 2400MHz RAM, an Arctic Freezer 13 cooler, 256GB SSD, and an Asus GTX 970. From the formatting of the hard drive, I started the Windows 7 Pro installation and was up and running on my desktop in 12 minutes!! 12! Stock at 4.0GHz, I was able to get mine stable during stress testing at 4.8GHz on air, but the temps were upper 80s C, pushing the thermal shutdown limits. However, I would get random shutdowns at other times. I backed it down to 4.6GHz and got it very stable, but under stress it would still be low 80s C. Very seldom random shutdowns at other times. Due to some problems during 4K gaming I cross-checked and stressed each and every component in my computer and found my aging power supply to be the culprit. I attribute this to noisy voltage which may have caused those shutdowns during overclocking testing. Regardless, 4.6 and 4.8GHz were running too hot on air, and I want my processor to last a long time, so I went back to stock 4.0GHz with turbo at 4.4. It now runs 59C max, and there is almost no change in framerates when overclocked. So really it was just an exercise in overclocking. If you have a great water cooler, more power to ya. I have been completely pleased with my Arctic Freezer 13 cooler (rated at 200W cooling) by the way. It met the power requirements and size to fit in my nMediaPC case.

Fastest i7 for LGA1150 yet
Very fast CPU, I haven't tried any overclocking yet. Using the stock frequency and with the "most heat" setting of Prime95 stress tester my liquid cooling system is not able to keep up and it overheats. Using the "balanced" setting of Prime95 it does fine. This may not bode very well for overclocking, I may need to upgrade my cooling system. I'm using a Corsair H60 120mm liquid cooler with Tuniq TX-4 ultra high performance thermal compound. My previous CPU, an i5 4670K, did not come near overheating under the same conditions. Since this i7 uses hyper threading on 4 cores for a total of 8 threads, along with the higher frequency, increases it's workload greatly. I'm also not sure how well Prime95 really simulates actual conditions. Nothing else I've thrown at it in normal usage causes an overheat. More testing ahead. The Amazon "Prime only special" price on this was nice too. Update: I updated to a 240mm water cooler and this CPU is now running much cooler even with some mild overclocking but it still cannot handle Prime95's "most heat" setting. It immediately overheats. I think that test may not reflect real world conditions. Nothing else, even with some overclocking, comes near to overheating the CPU. I don't know if the Prime95 application was written with this type of processor in mind. So I will continue to test with a bit more overclocking and see what happens. I won't test any further with that 'most heat' setting of Prime95. Otherwise this CPU has been working great, no problems at all. With this CPU and an SSD boot drive Windows 10 boots almost instantly. Update: It was suggested that I try an older version of Prime95 to test (see comments) and it does work as it should with the older 26.6 version. It runs at 68-70 C using the same settings that caused it to overheat with the later version. Some internet research verifies this to be an issue between at least some of the latest Intel CPUs and the later Prime95 versions. I had suspected it to be an issue with Prime 95 and apparently it is. So if you are going to use Prime95 to test this CPU, I at least, recommend you use the earlier version of Prime95 to avoid prematurely making toast out of your CPU.

El mejor de su generación
Lo compré para reemplazar un i5 de la misma generación y, a la fecha, no me ha generado ningún problema; todo lo contrario, mejoró bastante el rendimiento de mi PC. Cabe señalar que seguí el consejo de otros clientes que adquirieron este mismo procesador, comprando por separado un disipador de la marca Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo para reemplazar el que tiene de fábrica, ya que no es suficiente para evitar el sobrecalentamiento del mismo una vez instalado en la motherboard.

Una potenza mostruosa...........
Il miglior processore quarta generazione core i7 testato adesso in commercio, benchè sia uscita da intel la quinta generazione!!!! Un processore a 4 core con scheda grafica HD integrata, con consumo bassissimo di appena 88watt!!! Potenza di calcolo esagerata, adatto per tutte le situazioni, dal gaming estremo, al cad, al video editing, grazie ai suoi 4GHz di frequenza overcloccabili fino a 4,4 GHz!!!!! Socket LGA 1150, sistema ARK fino a 16 slot PCI Express gestibili simultaneamente!!!! 8 mega di cache terzo livello per gestire infinite operazioni di calcolo memoria interna gestibile a 1333MHz e 1600MHz, (la frequenza della memoria RAM esterna DDR dipende poi dalla scheda madre) Tecnologia a 22nm e larghezza di banda da 25,6 GB al secondo!!!!! Nome in codice CPU Intel "Devil's Canyon", che rispetto alle CPU Hanswell con moltiplicatore sbloccato precedenti come il predecessore 4770k (la 4790k è un Hanswell refresh), permette temperature di utilizzo più basse e di conseguenza una vita del processore più lunga se opportunamente raffreddato. Consiglio un raffreddamento ad aria estremo per chi teme versamenti di liquido, ma per gli amanti del modding va benissimo anche il liquid cooler che è in grado di tirare giù gradi in modo più selvaggio.........su amazon troverete tutti i componenti necessari per costriure la vostra "creatura". Un ultima precisazione, INTEL garantisce sia per il modello 4770k che per il 4790K che le sabbie silicie ed i silicati per creare i wafer da cui provengono questi calcolatori, sono esenti da fattori di inquinamento e soprattutto non provenienti da zone di conflitto, il che ne riduce notevolmente il livello di impurità!!!!!! Personalmente ho abbinato questo mostro di potenza alla seguente configurazione: Scheda Madre MSI z97M Gaming Memorie 32 GB DDR3 HyperX Kingston 1600MHz CL9 Video SLI 2X GTXN760 Nvidia SSD Samsung 850PRO 256GB HDD interno Nas WD red 2,5" 1TB Alimentatore Corsair AX860i Case Lian li V359 Dissipatore CPU Noctua NH D15 Ne risulta qualcosa che manda fuori scala i benchmark test.................... Processore che gestisce fino a 28 lineePCIexpress garantendo una buona resa in crossfire o SLI, anche se siamo ancora lontani dalle 40 linee e dalle 32, sarà per la quinta generazione. Eccellente il servizio amazon prime, veloce e puntuale come al solito, eccellente il prodotto, massima soddisfazione!!!!

Meilleur processeur Haswell.
Je disposais d'un i5 4460, processeur parfait pour la bureautique et le jeu, mais inadapté à des taches plus conséquentes telles que le streaming de jeux gourmands. Ne voulant pas changer de carte mère pour acquérir un i7 6700K, je me suis tourné vers un modèle que tous les benchmarks établissent comme son équivalent, Le i7 4790K. Pour vous donner une idée de la puissance de ce CPU, disons simplement qu'il traite les jeux les plus gourmands comme des tâches de fond, ne dépassant même pas 50 % d'utilisation sur GTA V. Mon framerate en jeu est également plus élevé et à gagné en stabilité. Le i7 4790k est parfaitement adapté si vous voulez tirer le meilleur parti d'une GTX 1080, streamer, encoder des vidéos ou tout autre tâches demandeuse en ressources CPU. Je l'utilise avec un ventirad Cooler Master hyper 212 evo, les températures sont convenables sans overclocking.

schnell, stabil, zuverlässig - erste Wahl!
Ich fertige seit vielen Jahren individuelle Pc-Systeme. Über den Prozessor selbst muss ich, glaube ich, nicht viele Worte verlieren. Er läuft mit 4,0 GHz Takt (4,4 GHz Turbo) super schnell und absolut zuverlässig. In der "K" Variante lässt er sich dazu noch je nach Mainboard relativ leicht übertakten - zumindest wenn man parallel für ausreichende Kühlung sorgt. Und damit kommen wir auch schon zum beiliegenden Lüfter. Zu diesem ist anzumerken, dass die früher ziemlich verrufenen Boxed-Kühler heute gar nicht mehr so schlecht sind, wie ihr Ruf. Für Standard-Anwendungen in Büroumgebungen sind die Lüfter ausreichend leistungsstark und inzwischen auch leise genug. Soll der Rechner allerdings übertaktet werden oder hauptsächlich zum Spielen genutzt werden, dann reicht der beiliegende Kühler nicht aus. Ein sehr guter und leiser Ersatz wäre dann z.B. der Dark Rock Pro 3 von be quiet! be quiet! BK019 Dark Rock Pro 3 CPU-Kühler Sicherlich kein ganz billiger Lüfter, aber die CPU bleibt kühl - auch unter Last. Der Intel i7-Core 4790K ist für mich ein klasse Prozessor, leistungsstark, stabil und zuverlässig. Was will man mehr?
