Clocked 4.2 Ghz out of the box with no tweaking. Gets things done fast! With dual fan air cooling, only seeing temperatures between 35 C and 42 C very far from 100 C max limit.

Fast and overclockable by far a strong CPU for any gamer and for me a game making CPU.

Everything on my computer runs really fast, and I got this thing to OC to five GHz. Yeah. While I've been waiting to get a graphics card, I've been playing World of Warcraft with onboard graphics. It sits from 45-60 FPS in medium to high settings with a populated screen. With Skype, YouTube, music, and a few other things running at the same time. I'm impressed, to say the least.

I have been pretty impressed with this chip. Decent overclocker, nothing special, but I am able to get a very reliable 4.6ghz OC with max temps of around 75 degrees Celsius using synthetic benchmarks. This is with an AIO liquid cooler.

Funnily enough this is still Intel's best mainline i7.The broadwell and skylake chips both don't overclock nearly as well (skylake has better performance per MHz, but that's easily made up by the Haswell Refresh's OC performance and lower price)Getting this to 4.8GHz is pretty damn easy if you have decent cooling, and if you managed a proper delid 5.0GHz is typically a cake walk. (bear in mind their's a chance you'll break your new $300+ cpu by doing this while also voiding the warranty if you try to delid)

Such an amazing cpu! I upgraded from the AMD FX 9370 and the 4790k just blows it out of the water.

Lightening fast processor. Way faster than I needed, but PC is relatively future-proofed now. CPU does get a little warm when pushed, but I have yet to see this processor choke on anything.

Fast. Fast. Fast. It's the Intel i7-4790K people. Buy it, you will thank me later.

Who can complain about this processor. Amazingly fast. Only thing I could see as a setback is the amount of heat it creates. Make sure you have a good heatsink/fan combo with good thermal paste or just liquid cool it. I use a Lepa 240 liquid cooler and it still gets pretty warm. I originally had a corsair single fan liquid cooler that kept my i5-4670 very cool but when swapped out for the i7-4790k I was seeing 80c under load so I decided an upgrade was in order.
