  I don't really care too much about overclocking, but I wanted the 4.4GHz boost for Lightroom, and the improved thermal material for better cooling. This processor has held up on my Z97-PRO board from ASUS for six months or so now, and I have it and the refurbished Antec Kuhler 620 to thank. Spot on, fast performance for photo editing and watching youtube during renders. I truly tax this silicon (no I don't).

  Can't recommend the 4790K enough. Coming from a non-biased view, it's amazing. I've owned both high-end AMD CPUs, older gen Intel i7s, and AMD GPUs, so I'm not stuck to one company over another, but the 4790 is the best processor I've had the pleasure of owning. The performance is just amazing. If you do a lot of video editing and want the speed for processor intense activities like rendering, CAD, etc., the power is there. For gaming and CPU intensive games, it has the speed so you're not being throttled and limited like you were with older generations i7s like my old Clarksfield i7-840QM. If a game you're playing is only utilizing a single core, the 1.87 GHz speed of that older i7 really kills you, but these new 4th generation i7s have all you need and then some, even if running off a single core. I have noticed some in the gaming community saying go with the i5-4670k as it's still good in performance, but cheaper and thus lets you spend more elsewhere. However I wouldn't recommend the i5, as spending a bit more up-front to future proof your computer so you save more down the road is always the better option, and the price difference is negligible. When I purchased this CPU on sale, the price difference between what I bought this for and what the lower-end 4670K costs, is less than I would of spent for a tank of gas. As a side note, as this is a K model and unlocked, it's made for overclocking. If you overclock, these overclock very well, but do tend to run a little hot over their previous iterations, so having a good aftermarket heat sink is a must (or watercooling if that's your thing). However, even if you don't overclock, having this model helps to future-proof your PC by allowing you to squeeze added performance out of the processor, and get you that much more use from your computer before you have to shove out more money for new parts. So I'd definitely recommend the K version even if you don't have immediate plans on overclocking.

  The perfect processor for gaming and video editing. You really don't even need to overclock it (even though intel has allowed you), as it is pretty powerful.

  Screaming fast! Installation was a breeze in my Shuttle XPC - I didn't use the hinksink and fan assembly included.. I did pick up some Arctic Silver 5 thermal compound to use with this. This runs at 4ghz by default in my Shuttle XPC.I can't comment on overclocking as I don't overclock any of my CPUs.

  Excellent processor. You will not be dissapointed. Heatsink it comes with sucks, get a proper cooler. I paired mine with a Corsair h100i and 2 noctua fans and very happy with the results. Takes 3 minutes to render a video it used to take 30 with my previous cpu. Amazing for gaming as well. Buy now.

  Fast CPU. Very fast. the only issue is the fan makes lot of noise! but you can always replace it with a better cooling system.
