Power house, plain and simple. If you already have a socket 1150 motherboard and DDR3 DIMMs, there is not yet much point in upgrading to the i7-6700k or i7-7700k, as all 3 have roughly the same performance and the latter two would require a new motherboard and all new DDR4 DIMMs.If your 4790k doesn't overclock very well, learn why by Googling silicon lottery , and look into swapping it with another somehow. They should overclock to ~4.5ghz with air cooling(use a tower cooler, not the stock cooler. Stock heatsink is small.)

Wonderful product, I've upgraded from the stock i3-4000s to this. Much improved and faster. Great for HD streaming games like Twitch or YTG. Rarely goes over 20% while streaming at 1080p 60FPS with the OBS studio. I recommend this processor.

The performance that I am getting from this is top class, also the price was great as well when I bough it.

I put this in my first ever computer build, and it definitely lived up to the hype. I hardly ever come close to using all of the power that this thing is capable of. Plays all of my games with no issues. Very happy customer.

It meets all your needs, high performance, low temperature! Without a shadow of doubt one of the best ever made today.

Perfect for my needs, purchased with a cooler master because I read that the standard cooler isn't the greatest. Would recommend.

I decided to upgrade my 1150 from a 4590 while waiting on the Optane technology to come out. What an upgrade! I had some stutter in games running 3440x1440p, now nothing. Overclocked to 4.4, 4.6 and 4.8 with air cooling in a ASUS Maximus Hero VI with no problems.

Received fast, and the necessary upgrade to eliminate the bottleneck on my 1070. I do recommend the devil's canyon line over the haswell for the bonus frequency and thermal benefits of an improved heat spreader-die contact. This processor in its own is evidence that intel listened to the PC enthusiasts so I recommend it entirely if you still have a LGA 1150 chipset board.

Even in early 2017 I was still happy with my purchase of a new Haswell generation i7-4790K. In most metrics it is equal to or outperforms its successor the i7-6700K. The 7700K may now have the edge but like the 6700K is lga1151 and would require updating my current motherboard and ram which is much more expense for little perceived benefit. I decided to purchase this new directly from Amazon because many, used on ebay, regularly go for $250+. Without knowing what the previous owner did to the cpu I'd rather pay $50 more for the assurance that I have a new product with Amazon's excellent customer service behind it. I overclocked only a little but have more satisfactory temperatures at stock configuration of 4ghz base, 4.4ghz turbo which is plenty of power. If you are building an all new system go for the i7-7700k as it will be supported on newer motherboards with newer options like USB-C etc. If you already have a lga1150 motherboard and want to move up from an i3 or I5 this will be cheaper than adopting a whole new motherboard platform and you won't be disappointed.

The I7 works great with my MSI GTX 970 Graphics Card. I haven't had any troubles with any programs when creating projects for my college courses or playing games.

Impressive speed. Use mine for video editing/compressing, gaming, everything. Never had this CPU bottleneck anything I've done.If this CPU becomes your bottleneck then my diagnosis is one of three things: 1) Your workload is intensive enough, in which case you most likely know a thing or two about PCs, and therefore should have known better. 2) You are doing stuff that is beyond the league of a common consumer CPU. 3) You are doing video compression (or similar) just like me and are going to see 100% cpu usage by design. 4) Run a virus scan, because you probably have a virus :)Can't go wrong with this one (for an older generation).

I've already written a review for this on Newegg so I'll keep it short.Pros:4 cores with hyperthreading8 MB cache4.0 GHz base clockGreat potential to overclockRuns cool under a watercoolerCons:Price, still $340 after almost 3 years?Slightly slower than SkylakeThoughts:I upgraded from a 4690k to stream and game simultaneously, I see little to no difference in gaming performance from my 4690k to my 4790k. So if you're only gaming don't waste money on an i7. Also, this chip needs way more voltage to reach 4.8GHz than my i5. The i5 only needed 1.26v, this needs 1.35v. I got lucky with my i5 on the silicon lottery.
