My games were getting kinda sluggish on max settings with my old q6600 @ 3.2ghz and I must have my max settings! So I decided on this processor because I wanted a big jump from what I was using and I couldn't afford the 4930k so went with this one and love it! This has never hit over 40% even with Shadow of Mordor and Bioshock Infinite. This paired with a Hyper 212 Evo fan I'm getting around 30c with idle and around 40c-50c when playing games which I am happy with. If you're wondering if this is worth the price it definitely is!Specs:Asus z97-A4790kG.skill Sniper Series 8gbEvga GTX 660 TI

Best processor on the market for building a serious powerhouse PC. I'm not sure what one would have to do in order to use 100% of this CPU but I can assure you...I have tried many things simultaneously and I've never been able to use more than 50% of its power. This thing is a BEAST. I highly recommend it, even over the newer generation i7- 5820K

Love this processor. So for now, this current gen will satisfy for the price.The new i7 5x's series are the future for performance, but too pricey and requires the ddr4 ram which are still too high priced .

Super fast with Sabertooth series boards! Easily overclocked and I'm using stock fan for now until Christmas time and Santa bring me a Coolermaster. Runs cool, low TPD and fast as hell...........what else is there?

Its like what others have said in the comments below. The i7-4790K a.k.a Devil Canyon processor is just a factory overclocked version of the i7 4770K a.k.a Haswell processor. Most will probably be able to achieve a 4.5 Mhz overclock stable and a few others might be able to achieve just a little bit more then that. Far from that 5.0 Mhz on air claim Intel was bragging about prior to release day.Prior to purchasing this processor I owned the Haswell i5 4570 and honestly I have not seen much of a difference in performance between my old Haswell i5 and my new Devil Canyon i7. Game wise, CPU intensive games like Planet Side 2, Day Z, Crysis 3, etc runs just about the same on both processors. Many people have said that the big differences over the i5 lies in applications like video editing, etc. so that is something to consider when deciding. That said, if you already have the previous generation Haswell processor i5 or i7 then the new Devil Canyon processor is not worth the upgrade. If your doing a new build or if you have a processor over a couple of generations old then by all means I am giving the i7-4790K two thumbs up!

I got my running at a stable 4.8 overclock with water cooling I could probably push further but I'm happy with this frequency.

In the process of converting 1,400 movies in MPEG format to MP4 and this CPU dropped my CPU load from 90+% to 50%. While it is pricey for Gaming, hard CPU data processing is much improved with this over a Haswell i5
