Love it! Awesome upgrade from an old Core2 Duo. Cloned the C:/ to an SSD, 8GB Hyper RAM and a 2nd monitor and Viola!! Its like a Ferrari!!

Replaced my Fx 6300 that was overclocked to 4.7ghz with this i7. The i7 beats it hands down running at only 4 ghz.

I ordered this for a new computer build. So far (just over a month) it has been perfect. Easily overclocked to 4.7Ghz, but I normally only run it at stock speed. It does seem to run a little hotter than I expected. I run this system pretty hard with video and sound editing, and have never seen it peak out for more than a second or two at a time. It far exceeded my expectations. I performed a video conversion using Media Converter 8, and with my previous system (Pentium D 3.6Ghz) it took just about twelve minutes to convert a 21 minute video clip. This system with the 4790k performed the same exact conversion in just over 2 minutes. Plus, I am able to run virtual machines in VMware Workstation with absolutely no delay or lag of any kind. I couldn't be happier!

Probably one of the best performance to price ratio CPU's at the moment. With no overclocking, SuperPI bench 32M at 7m33.091s

Pros:
- Powerful processor
- Very good performance in any type of software
Cons:
- Generates a fair amount of heat (Had to get better thermal paste so my waterblock could keep up)
In all, an amazing processor.

put this in my ASUS Z97-DELUXE ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 mobo and now have the graphics in the chipset for me gives me all kinds of room. having an integrated video and what appears to be a great picture gives me tons of room on the inside.

I purchased this as part of a new desktop build using a Z97 chipset AsRock Extreme6 motherboard in a Corsair case. I picked this particular CPU for its combination of features (performance, power efficient, VT-x) over the AMD FX line (comparable features but not nearly as power efficient), Intel i7-5820K (more cores but lower performance per core), and a few other options. I probably would have been alright saving a few dollars and gone for the standard i7-4790 since I haven't really experimented with overclocking the CPU, but I have that option later if I have the time or inclination later. Paired with a Samsung SSD and 32 gbs of Crucial RAM, it tends to fly on most tasks.
One note of warning: I started off using the stock Intel CPU cooler that it came with. I did some 1080p media transcoding using Handbrake and it pushed the CPU temperature up to a very scary 90 degrees Celsius. I stopped the job as soon as I saw it, and ordered a (series) of water coolers. With the Corsair H60 idle temperature is now under 25 degrees and maxes out at 56 degrees with a series of video encodes. I would definitely recommend getting a different CPU cooler.
