If you need an i7, 4790k is as good as it gets, at least before the 6xxx series came out!The 4790k reports 10% better single core performance, and performance per dollar is around 2.5x better. If you are using it for gaming, I highly recommend going for an i5 for the cost saving, as i7 does very little for gaming overall.Overall the 6700k is about 5-10% higher performance ignoring the single core, which is becoming less relevant as more applications utilize it.

I am a gamer, and I usually have a lot going on in my computer, so with this processor and my RAM, I barely use any cpu. I most def do not regret this purchase.

Rendering audio in seconds and rendering videos in premiere pro in just a few minutes unlike HOURS like my old CPU (Fx-6300) its expensive but so so soooo worth it

Managed an overclock up to 4.7 stable without any intense tweaking. Not quite winning the lottery, but still respectable.

Bought this after looking for an unlocked I7 to match with my Z87-A motherboard and NEPTON 240m water cooling. Work as expected, idle at 25-32 depending on your ambient temperature 21-23, mine was inside my office. Using ASUS suite OC utility, I was able to get this4.8ghz but settled for 4.6 for stable, not all my components can overclock well like my old 7970 RADEON card. Hopefully upgrading to Nvidia 980TI Hybrid I can push this further 4.8ghz.

super fast, I decided to use this CPU for my next build instead of the i7 6700k because it's almost the same performance and it's cheaper.

This is a fantastic CPU! I wanted to build an ITX gaming rig and this processor should keep my system up to spec for many years into the future, especially with DirectX12 helping CPUs be more useful in games. I'm using an MSI Z97I AC motherboard with this chip. The MSI board lets me use an 'enhanced turbo' feature that makes the Intel Turbo Boost work on all the cores (up to 4.4Ghz). With a Noctua NH-D9L cooler I'm getting idle temps at 25-30C with the fan @ 1000rpm (very quiet) running the 4.4Ghz on all cores. I could overclock to get closer to 5.0Ghz but it is probably not worth it as this chip is already overkill for most apps and games. I'll be looking forward to what AMD is going to do with Zen, but for now this 4790K is the chip to have!

Great CPU, renders videos extremely fast for me. Overall great CPU. THE ONLY THING IS THAT COOLER. I have never said this before as the stock cooler for my previous CPU and APU have been fine (as in not annoying loud in my opinion). But for this one please do yourself a favor and get a aftermarket cooler. I personally have not yet because of financial reasons but when I am rendering videos or playing a Cities Skyline that fan is so loud. And it is really ineffective when the CPU is being stressed at those levels. My PC does not crash but 80c-85c is not cool. During normal gaming it almost never goes over 60c however and sounds fine. But since I render videos for YouTube frequently it does get a bit annoying.

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.

Bought this twice, once for my parents PC, and again for myself. Powerful and I've seen no motion of it slowing down.

A much faster processor than I had even expected. Glad I spent the extra money.

One of the best bang for your bucks on the market, even if this thing breaks or anything, I would totally not hesitate to buy another!

I can have do nearly everything shy of games and have my usage stay under 10%. This is a VERY fast processor that can handle multitasking and makes my new system worth every penny. You definitely want to build your system around a great processor, and this i7 is probably the best you can find for a gaming system right now.

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.
