I love this processor. The first one I bought has lasted me well over 4 years and I have never had an issue with heat or processing speed. At 4.2 ghz, the processor packs a punch and is a pleasure to work with in installation. Currently I have upgraded my brothers gaming pc into a new future proofed rig so that he will be safe for a fair few years. I consider it a fantastic product for the price and would add that It's retained it's value on the market since initial release. In conclusion, If I ever build another gaming pc, this is the processor I would use for efficiency and heat control.

This Cpu is the fastest of the Haswell line It has worked perfectly straight from the box there was a small Intel sticker in the box which you can stick to your case if you choose.The stock intel cooler was more than able to keep the cpu cool under load.The heat material was pre applied to the heatsink making for easy installation.The snap in legs also make installation simple but take care when inserting the heatsink pins through the motherboard as i have had the odd one bend in the past

Although it is quite an old processor it's still performs quite well in gaming, if combine it with a proper air cooler (high watt & nm make it run a bit hot) and of course a decent GPU. For everyday use it's more than enough. As a workstation a more modern multicore/ thread CPU would be a better option. If you want a bolt on upgrade for your 4th gen i5 you can't go wrong.

To some of you the title of this review might appear a bit cryptic. The fact of the matter is that after all the decades of producing CPU's Intel makes n00bie mistakes with regard to them is not believable. This leaves one and only one conclusion, Intel deliberately crippled the precursor to the 4790K namely the 4770K. If one takes the lid off the 4770K, gets rid of all the gunk that Intel smeared on it, replaces the Thermal Interface Material with a good one, and then replaces the lid so that it is actually in proximity to the CPU then you get a processor which is indistinguishable to the 4790K in EVERY RESPECT. I know this, because I do have a 4770K which I have delidded and benchmarked and compared my modified 4770K with the benchmarks for the 4790K and they are nigh on identical. I bought this CPU because I replaced my motherboard about a year ago with one which is far superior and my friend now wants me to build a computer for him and he is getting my old motherboard and the 4770K for the price I paid for the 4790K. The 4790K really doesn't deserve the privilege of a new CPU designation, it is, as I stated, just a 4770K with the artificial performance degradation built in by Intel removed. I give it five stars because I would give the 4770K five stars as well (after curing it of the crippling induced by the manufacturer).Read full review

the best cpu for socket 1150, browsing, applications, editing, and gaming, still running like a champ for the age of this cpu. still able to hold its ground for a while yet, pair with a decent cooler, decent ram, and a decent gpu, this processor still handles all newest games and apps.
