Fastest computer I have ever used.. not the fastest computer I have seen and touched. Cray T3D gets that title.

the processor perfectly met my expectations. My games run smoothly along with my graphics card (nvidia geforce 970) and I love this processor.

Amazing CPU. I've upgraded from an I3 2700k.... Wow was i blown away by the difference it made. It was totally worth it. I just get the best I can afford at the time of upgrade and the AMD was great for the price. But, performance wise, this is simply in a different class.I was not suffering from FPS drops in some AAA titles on my I3. i was happily running at maybe 50-70 Rise of Tomb Raider for example would drop 10-20 frames in some places specially the cut scenes and im a killer for graphics but you could say the upgrade to i7 4790k was unneeded however i was running all this on a stock cooler and gaming for 7 hours so that much stress on my CPU was overload.Now after upgrading im playing maxed, full resolution.Story with GTA 5. Would drop around 10-20 frames just like tomb raider in some places but no more now. solid and stable fps 90+ . but as same old story downside is it does seem to run pretty hot under load. Idle, it sits around 27-31 degrees. Under load, I've seen go up to 70 and above specially after 8 hours of gaming with almost 85+ and noticing stuttering however now have H110igt and perfectMy Cinebench r15 benchmark with this chip and nothing more was around the 870 minor overclockSo i am over the moonSystem specsMotherBoard : MSI z97 Gaming 7CPU : I7-4790k 4.0Ram : Corsair 1600mhz 8gb (x2)GFU : Nvidia Geforce GTX 980tiPSU : 600w Corsair G2 bronzeWindows 101x Seagate 1tb HDD1x Seagate 500gb HDD

Upgraded from i5-4690k. Didn't expect to see that much improvement, definitely worth the price for upgrade.

Compared to the i5-4690k, it performs just a bit better in games, but when you try to stream and game at the same time, this wins all the time.

If you are building a gaming computer this is by far the most cost effective way to go. I don't see myself having to replace this chip for at least 6 years. Nothing I throw at it is too much, from gaming to video rendering.

Love this processor i upgraded from a, amd 6300 and i cannot complain about this processor it works great no lag no waiting for all my stuff to load takes over clocking really well too!

Have had this installed now for for 18 months plus , still very pleased with performance, using with Asus Maximus VII Motherboard, GTX780 Graphics, and combination of Samsung and Sandisk SSDs, My only slight concern is the Temperatures it produces under load, idle at 40c is fine but loaded it can get to 86c with Video work, I am just about to go down the Liquid Cooling Route with a Fractal Kelvin S23 to match my Fractal r5 Case, will update the results when i have fitted.Update The Fractal liquid cooler was Very Poor Quality so returned it , Changed the Thermal paste and temps are much more stable now

The i7-4790K still out performs more recent iterations of the Core i7 line from Intel. If you want the performance king of Intel processors, this is still the one you want, even as of July 2016. That being said, you MUST get an aftermarket cooler for it whether you want to overclock or not. The processor itself is great, but Intel's stock cooling solutions are garbage and have been for some time. Personally I use the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, but I don't plan on doing any heavy overclocking.

This was near top of the line when I bought it. It's still blazing fast. I do lot's of CPU-intensive work, and this makes downtime much shorter. If you're looking for a CPU for a basic computer, look at the i3 variants instead.
