I have a mobo that is several years old: ASUS Maximus VI Hero. It's a Z87 chipset Republic of Gamers (ROG) platform. I had previously upgraded to the highest 1150 Intel i5 CPU, the i5-4670K. With a 1603 BIOS update, the mobo became eligible for the i7 CPU line without changing any hardware. So I opted to upgrade to the i7-4790K CPU.(Note: If you're replacing a CPU, make sure you clean the CPU contact side of your existing CPU cooler. Wipe away the thermal paste with a lint-free cloth, followed by a thorough scrub with alcohol. When completely dry, apply new thermal paste to the top of the CPU using the DOT technique -- look it up if you don't know what it is.)I chose this path mainly due to the many 5-Star customer reviews of this product and, since I'm getting along in years, I didn't want to replace my mobo and CPU.Folks, the i7-4790K is the real deal. It lives up to the years of hype and positive comments. Sure, the technology is a few years old, but from what I've read about newer CPUs from both AMD and Intel, I believe it when other PC enthusiasts claim the i7-4790K can hold its own against them.I won't get into the technical babble about this CPU, because I don't care. It is simply on fire (figuratively speaking), outperforming the previous CPU by leaps and bounds. If you purchase the i7-4790K, make sure you have an excellent CPU heatsink (I have never used a stock one for obvious reasons).I also installed a new EVGA RTX 2060 Super video card in the same upgrade.I mostly play Skyrim Special Edition with many heavy texture mods. Believe me when I say this game has never looked so great with my new upgrade. I'm entirely happy with my purchase. This might be the last PC upgrade for me.I know there will be naysayers with negative opinions about my upgrade. Please keep them to yourself and worry about your own rig.My rig:Antec Twelve Hundred Full Tower Case (3 intake fans & 4 exhaust fans)Corsair 1,000 Watt Modular Power SupplyG.Skill 32 GB PC-1600 Memory (set to 1600 in BIOS with 9-9-9-24 timings)Thermaltake Dual Fan CPU Cooler (this is a beast; can't use Ripjaws or other tall memory sticks)ASUS Maximus VI Hero MotherboardIntel i7-4790K 4.0 GHz CPU (mobo auto OC to 4.4GHz)EVGA RTX 2060 Super XC Ultra 8 GB GDDR6 Video Card (factory OC)I'm a happy camper!

What overheating issue...... I've read a lot of reviews about overheating issues with this chip, I've experienced none of them. Now, I would NOT recommend using the heat sink that is supplied with the cpu. Maybe that's the issue many people were having.I have a pretty basic setup that I use for work and education. I'm have an IN-WIN slim formfactor m-ATX chassis, Asus mobo, and a Samsung SSD. I replaced the exhaust fan that came with the chassis for an 80mm Noctua and I'm using the Noctua NH-L9x65, 65mm Premium Low-Profile CPU Cooler. CPU hasn't gone above 89 degrees.I have two of these boxes, one for my VMware lab and the other for my Cisco network lab. Not one issue. I would suggest to those people having heat issues to look for better cooling/chassis options.Asus mobo B85M-G32GB RAMSamsung pro 512GB SSD

Un processeur qui a d'excellentes performances (on peut notamment enregistrer dessus en 1080P60 sans trop forcé dessus) et avec une fréquence d'horloge de 4GHZ (le PC peut effectuer jusqu'à 4 milliards d'opérations en une seule seconde) !Heureusement qu'il y avait pour moi ce modèle compatible avec le socket 1150 (sinon j'aurai du changer de carte mère, ce qui aurait été un peu embêtant), même si maintenant, les constructeurs semblent tous se diriger vers des processeurs compatibles socket 1151 et non 1150.Ne chauffe pas beaucoup pour ma part, pourtant je l'utilise assez souvent et pour des opérations volumineuses (enregistrement, montage vidéo, upload...).Petit défaut par contre : je trouve qu'il fait quand même un peu de bruit (bon c'est pas non plus une locomotive), mais il fait quand même plus de bruit que mon ancien i5 par exemple.

I knew I was buying a used CPU, but didn't really know how old this CPU was. Only a year out of the box? Three years? This information was not present. Only you as a customer are to blame if it doesn't work 100% correctly when buying used hardware. That being said, the only thing i had to do additionally is buy and implement a new CPU cooler. This version (i7 4790k) runs very hot. My old CPU cooler couldn't get it down to acceptable levels (around 30 degr. when idle, between 50 - 70 degr. when gaming). It was closing in and often passing 100°C when gaming before i installed a new CPU cooler. I also had to make adjustments to internet browsers like chrome, like going into settings to make sure multiple tabs are idle when not reactivated manually. Otherwise, as much as 10 open tabs at starting up chrome would skyrocket the CPU usage almost to max for up to 10 seconds. I don't experience any negative effects while gaming. Total War Three Kingdoms runs smooth on ultra settings in combination with 16gb of RAM and my RTX 2060. So all in all, quite happy with this CPU. Naysayers would claim this CPU isn't a massive improvement on my previous i5 4460, but i didn't want to change my old motherboard, so i had only the option to upgrade to the last and best CPU of that intel generation for that socket. So in the end it worked out for me. But know you always take a risk when buying second hand hardware.
