Fast. Handles both gaming and music production well.

I know I could overclock it quite a bit, however, its already so fast I haven't felt the need to. I would recommend getting a different fan, the stock fan is quite loud.

A great processor to have if you have the money and are willing to upgrade from and older processor. I upgraded from an Intel i5-3230m laptop and built a new desktop with this processor. This chip is great for overclocking and I get good temps all around under a heavy load.

Installed and running in my new rig for around six months. Paired with my corsair h110 it runs cool and with excellent speed. Handles all my needs. Cpu intensive games while streaming and recording. Excellent processor!

Blazing fast processor and I think you already know with the 4790k you're getting the best 1150 socket CPU out there.

Amazingly fantastic product but really awful lacking packaging, was in an envelope not even in a box, and they left this 350 dollar processor at the foot of my apartment door for hours. Otherwise really great processor thanks.

Oh my god, so fastOverclocked it up to a super stable 4.9GHz, and it just cruises through everything. Combined with a fast SSD and enough RAM, this CPU just cuts through tasks like they are half as intense as they really are. The part about a fast ssd and enough ram is important though, because this CPU likely is never the limiting factor in any process or game, it destroys its part of most tasks. Paired with a 970 it crushes every game I play at 1080p, probably would go for a 980 or 980ti to maintain 60+ framerates at 1440p or above.This is pretty much the pinnacle of performance as far as 4 core processors go, for now, doesn't seem like Skylake 6000 series processors are too much faster.I could have easily gone for an i5-4690K instead, but my laptop had an i7 and gosh darn it, my badass PC would have hyperthreading as well. Besides, as time goes on, more and more applications will take advantage of the performance boost that hyperthreading offers, and since I intend to use this CPU for probably at the very least 3 years (5 more likely), having that extra capability is worth it to me.So fast! O.O

This processor is overkill for my needs honestly. But works extremely well, stays cool with my corsair h100i, and provides easy overclockability for the future.

Great processor in the 1150 chipset. I didn't realize how big a difference it would make going from an AMD 8350 to this. Games that wouldn't run on the 8350 ran great on this. I thought there was something wrong with Crysis or Mass Effects port to PC. It was that the 8350 wasn't good enough. The memory and gpu being the same or very close the only reason for the huge difference in playability was this chipset. I should have known because I had Crysis running on an older I7 960 with an old 1 gig gpu( really old 5 years old). If you want to game and want something that will probably work well for the next few years this is a good choice. Save your pennies, don't buy AMD, the difference between this and the FX8350 is night and day. I leave OC on auto and use the stock fan, it gets warm buy survives for now, eventually Ill get a 90mm cooler from Noctua.
