Pretty incredible CPU, blows through absolutely everything and the overclocking potential is incredible (at least on my unit, this is subject to change due to the fabrication process). Was able to run 4.7GHz with only about 1.26 volts and kept this under 80C, so a great CPU for sure! Especially when it comes to CPU intensive games, this just eats through everything!

This processor is absolutely fantastic. It runs so quickly that I haven't bothered overclocking it yet after several months. When it comes to gaming, video transcoding and rendering, or compiling code, it just flies.Now, be aware that for most tasks, and even most games, the 4790K is overkill. Most things most people do with their machines don't require 8 logical cores running at 4 GHz. But if you need or want this speed, this is a great CPU.

Never would go back to AMD, I have been along time AMD user, using AMD for many pcs, from laptops to desktop.I have this processor in a editing and work station build. I have a EVO 212 Hyper cooler installed, and I'm getting good tempswith a mild overclock.Clocked at 4.5GHZ, a little past the normal turbo of 4.4GHZ at 1.180 volts and getting temps around 65-80 at the most usingAida 64 or Intel Burn Test (intel burn test and prime 95 not recommended for Haswell).It's a power house, my pc doesn't even have a GPU and it slices through video editing with no time at all.Video encoding of around 15 minutes for a 2hr long 1080p video. Unzips a 1gb file in less than 10 seconds.My last AMD APU Quad Core could not even play 4K youtube videos, this plays 4K like 480p, little to no challenge.

Great CPU mine idles at around 30 and 32 degrees Celsius, runs fast and cool.

I have this processor in a editing and work station build. I have a EVO 212 Hyper cooler installed, and I'm getting good temps
with a mild overclock.
Clocked at 4.5GHZ, a little past the normal turbo of 4.4GHZ at 1.180 volts and getting temps around 65-80 at the most using
Aida 64 or Intel Burn Test (intel burn test and prime 95 not recommended for Haswell).
It's a power house, my pc doesn't even have a GPU and it slices through video editing with no time at all.
