    Product as described, fits socket and shipping was quick, however the carrier decided to put this $300 cpu right next to my garbage can... other then that no problems thus far

    Performance is enough for most gaming, but overclocking this piece is a pain. The default frequency is high enough, so it is hard to push the clock higher, but the major issue is the TEMPERATURE. Cores can get EXTREMELY HOT under load if you overclock and add core voltage. I probably have got a bad piece, which requires a voltage of 1.23v at 4.6GHz. This was the stablest voltage for my 4790K, I have tried to reduce the voltage and it caused blue screens even when gaming. However, under AIDA64 stability test the average core temperature is about 95℃, which prevented further overclocking (i tried push the frequency to 4.7GHz at higher voltage, but the core was overheat when doing the stability test, then the frequency dropped. Pleace note that I am using a 240mm cooler master liquid cooler with all the fans running at max speed). The difference of performance between 4.4GHz and 4,7GHz is barely noticeable even at benchmark test. I am now buying a Haswell-E processor, with larger surface area and soldered IHS, its cooling performance are much better than the 4790K, and there will be a huge gain in performance if you overclock it to above 4GHz. Maybe several years later i will have it delidded and build a custom-loop water cooling for it, see if I can push the frequency higher.

    Great processor, but came used.The processor is great value for money. But it would be remiss of me not to mention that the new unit I paid for from Amazon came used.The first warning sign was that the CPU was placed upside down within its packaging. Then, upon opening the retail box (Factory Seal was already broken), I noticed the CPU had thermal paste on it already and the Fan’s thermal paste was disturbed. Clearly the unit was used before.However, Amazon’s customer service was great. They offered to replace the unit.Overall great product, disappointing experience, but good customer service.
