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.

It's the best of the LGA1050 socket processors and it shows! A brilliant upgrade from my i5 4460!

Coming from the FX-6300 I can honestly tell you, this is one hell of an upgrade, and well worth it. Everything is so smooth and I can put the graphics up without worrying about any bottlenecking.

Future proof, probably have another 3 years I could keep this CPU. It just works.

Love this processor but can run hot. I have an aftermarket heatsink and the temperatures run up to 75-80 in the summer while under load. In cool room conditions it runs around 65.
