has too much heat even with adjusting the voltage, doesn't have much overhead for overclocking (Noctua NH-D15) used 1.25v at 4.5 GHz and barely stable with temps up to 90c

Great bargain...my 1st build with a i7 processor...keep it up

Runs pretty smoothly when playing the DEI mod of RTW2 on max settings with 10k men. It does have occasional unexplained hiccups that I think are attributable to the CPU. So far the temps are in the 30-50 range most of the time.

should have gotten the higher one otherwise its great.

Great processor overall but I got mine for $279.99 at Microcenter, look around people! You can find cheaper versions of the same product for cheaper.

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.

The best processor I've laid my hands on. The product offers new levels of exceptional performance for immersive games and its perfect for multitasking too.

They said it's much cooler than 4770k, They might be right, but not by much. I had three of this, all water cooled, all overheat under prime95.

The cooling fan that comes with it is sub-par. Works well for regular use. If you wanted to do some gaming I'd recommend updating to an after market fan.

Very good unit, but whatever you do, get your own aftermarket cooler. I almost fried the paste onto this thing because it squished out from under the cooling plate, which by the way didn't cover the cpu even remotely, and was causing frequent restarts and crashed my hard drive more than once.they may work for the lower end stuff, but with an i7, they're just not going to cut it, and you may find yourself short a $300 unit.

Great product, now my laptop performs better all thanks to this processor.

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.

No complaints other than me not doing my proper research and buying something I didn't quite need, could've settled for a good i5 for my gaming rig but I needed the best . This thing rocks but if I was going for an i7 again I would go for this version here: http://amzn.to/1f2kkg2Pros:Insane power and speed, great overclockability, does not run too hot if properly cooled (im using hyper 212 evo which can be found here: http://amzn.to/1B1JJAA after ditching a AIO watercooler), does not bottleneck anything except on some particular GPU benchmarks like valley, this thing does not blink for any game... everCons:I did not need this much processor. IF Building a non 4k GAMING RIG probably just get a i5 4690k here: http://amzn.to/1MnH58uI wish I had and used the cash for upgrading GPU. BUT now I've got this beast of a processor that will handle any card I can throw at it so I'm happy.

Extremely fast! Great overclocker too! Works well when combined with a fast GPU! Love this CPU!Only complaint is the stock cooler is unable to cool this CPU at full load (breaking 100C in Prime95). I ended up getting a better cooler (Corsair liquid cooler), problem solved. Works wonderfully now.
