  Simply fast. I have not overclocked it yet, PC is plenty fast right now.

  Excellent processor. We are over clocking and running very stable. It is very fast and we are very happy with its performance.

  I am seventy nine years old and when I bought this I thought I would just have to plug it into my wall socket and I'd have a computer. I'm thinking of suing for misadvertising.

  Solid. I trade for a living. One needs a CPU which is strong enough to keep up with an influx of tremendous volume at any given moment. In addition, with many charts open across 3 monitors, one being a 4k monitor, my old AMD A10-5800k overclocked to 4.5ghz just couldn't keep up, even after adding a GTX 970 to it. My old processor would lag whenever quickly scrolling through chart data, and could even freeze when a particular news event hits, especially if I have many charts open. This was not acceptable. I am moving from amateur to professional in my work, and I couldn't do that without a proper computer.Welcome to Devil's Canyon, where no amount of charts is too many and no amount of order volume too much. It seems like nothing can bog this thing down. This is the weapon I take to work everyday. It barely breaks a sweat. It is being cooled with an H100i GTX Corsair liquid cooling system, and that keeps this processor at a brisk 29-30 degrees C. I have turned off speed step which is the setting that allows the processor clock to fluctuate based on need [to save power etc.]. In the market anything can happen at any time, and I do not want to add any more lag than is already built in by virtue of my distance from the exchanges. Speedstep works seamlessly, however I like knowing my computer is breathing at a steady pace.If you're a profesional and you require computing power without completely breaking the bank, this here will do the job well. I also have one monitor dedicated to recording the trading session (I utilize Open Broadcasting Software... highly recommended open source software for screen capturing), and this takes up a meagre 3% of CPU use. On the AMD heavy trading volume + screen capturing was guaranteed disaster. This processor slices through this like a laser cut knife through a banana. No effort required. I do not care for speed as much as I care about the ability to handle anything thrown at it instantaneously without getting bogged down... the 4790k impresses me in that regard.

  I had this CPU in mind since it first came out. Heard it was fast and efficient so I decided to go with it. I've had it now for about a week and I have to tell you this thing is a beast. The first build I ever did was a AMD and I've been a AMD kind of guy since then but screw it, INTEL I'm all yours!!

  Update Jan 2021:Years later I am still using this i7-4790k with an Asus Maximus VII Hero. Zero problems. I have upgraded to 32GB RAM @ 2,400Hz. I upgraded from a SATA 256GB SSD to a 2TB m.2 SSD. I have a GTX 1080 Ti 11GB. I am playing Cyberpunk 2077 and other new games. The processor has not become a bottleneck on any games, only the graphics card surprisingly. Depending on the game, I usually can play 1440p or 4k on highest settings and still get 55+ FPS. But not Cyberpunk - it runs at 1080p, and only if I turn screen space reflections halfway down.Original:Flawless. Incredible performance for the price. The proper way to select a processor is to go a CPU benchmark list and decide on your performance per price number. Google CPU benchmark list.I ought to mention a couple of things about processors and overclocking. Many similar chips in a processor family are the exact same thing. They are tested at the factory, and the resulting stable setting is then reduced, and locked at a certain frequency and then labeled as a 4770, 4790, etc. The K at the end indicates the frequency is set but unlocked, so you can overclock it via BIOS. For this particular processor (4790K) you will still have variances. Many many of them can be stably overclocked to 4.4 GHz and then go up or down and see what your limit is. It seems that 4.8GHz is the golden goose for this processor, even on water cooling.The way to overclock is to set the frequency and manually set the vcore voltage to a recommended level, then slowly reduce the voltage until it crashes under test, then slowly go up a little and stress for at least 8 hours.Paired this processor with an Asus Maximus VII Hero, 16GB Adata 2400MHz RAM, an Arctic Freezer 13 cooler, 256GB SSD, and an Asus GTX 970. From the formatting of the hard drive, I started the Windows 7 Pro installation and was up and running on my desktop in 12 minutes!! 12!Stock at 4.0GHz, I was able to get mine stable during stress testing at 4.8GHz on air, but the temps were upper 80s C, pushing the thermal shutdown limits. However, I would get random shutdowns at other times.I backed it down to 4.6GHz and got it very stable, but under stress it would still be low 80s C. Very seldom random shutdowns at other times. Due to some problems during 4K gaming I cross-checked and stressed each and every component in my computer and found my aging power supply to be the culprit. I attribute this to noisy voltage which may have caused those shutdowns during overclocking testing.Regardless, 4.6 and 4.8GHz were running too hot on air, and I want my processor to last a long time, so I went back to stock 4.0GHz with turbo at 4.4. It now runs 59C max, and there is almost no change in framerates when overclocked. So really it was just an exercise in overclocking. If you have a great water cooler, more power to ya.I have been completely pleased with my Arctic Freezer 13 cooler (rated at 200W cooling) by the way. It met the power requirements and size to fit in my nMediaPC case.

  Running very fast and cool. Idling at about 30C in a cooler house and 32C in a much hotter house. Has run fine on every game I have thrown at it. Max temp I think I have reached in gaming is 73C

  It has the top seller slot at the moment and after using it for the past few days on my new build I can see why, definitely recommended.

  Amazing processor. I returned the i5-4690k for this and couldn't be any more happy. FPS in all benchmarks went up 20-25fps on my 1440p 144hz monitor setup. Amazon delivered it first thing in the morning.

  I did a price match from bestbuy a week ago to custom my own personal home pc, running my OS in a raid of two SSD samsung evo 850. Extremely fast and steady speed. Totally love it! I can multi-tasking with photoshop & keyshot !

  Been using for over a year, no problems. Had a small learning curve with the flat keys but worth it. Love the little brush for removing crumbs and cat hair.

  Don't waste your money on others. Go with the Intel Core i7. For the money, this is great! Fast and smooth running. Would've been nice to hav 5th gen, but you can't get better for the money.
