This was exactly the upgrade that I needed. I do some heavy gaming and this processor solved some FPS issues that I had been experiencing with the 8-CORE AMD processor that I used previously. The swap required that a compatible motherboard be installed. It went much more smoothly than I had anticipated. The entire system is running faster and glitch free with the i7-4790K installed.
Amazed that cleaning it really worked! I've had this for about six month and it started getting kind of hard to press a few keys. I popped it into the bathroom sink and used a light washcloth on it. Thirty minutes later it was dry and was typing like it is almost new again. I am so very happy as I have a lot of writing to do today and didn't think I could deal with a sticky A any longer. Happy customer!
Excellent performance , Easily overclocked to 4.5 GHzidle temperature of 25 C, 60 C with heavy gaming with corsair H60 cooling .Definitely you won't go wrong this CPU .
Why not? That's all I have to say about this chip.I love it, Recieved it in a timely manner, and It works flawlessly.I Currently have an overclock of 4.85Ghz on this processor with a water cooling loop.
