  im a major gamer and I look for keyboards that has a feel when you click on it. Even though this is not a mechanical keyboard, the tactile feedback makes typing and channeling spells much more comfortable.

  upgraded to this chip as I wanted a cooler running chip over the 4770K and I was going full custom water cooling and wanted a chip that could go 5.0GHz.

  This is a great keyboard! I got tired of having to replace keyboards that my kids destroyed by spilling or getting food stuck in the keys. It works well for my needs.

  Beast of a processor, even with the new i7-5000 series out--this chip still holds it's own and is arguably faster even when not overclocked.

  The Sonic the Hedgehog of processors. It's fantastical! I have no complaints. Does what it's supposed to and flawlessly.

  I did a fair amount of research before I bought this processor and I decided to go for it for several reasons. It was unlocked (meaning I can choose to overclock it if I want), a lot of people have overclocked it and had it run very stable even on air. I'm not an overclocker but I like buying overclocking processors because if they are meant to be overclocked and run stable, they should run very stable if you don't overclock it. It also has a very high clock speed which may me choose this over several other i7s and i5s. For not much more money, you can get this beast.After installing it in my new motherboard (Asrock z97 Fatal1ty) and 8 GB of ram (I know, not much but enough to make it run), i got windows 7 ultimate installed and everything seemed to work well. I should mention that I used the stock cooler that came with the processor (which are usually known to not be great, but usually they work well enough). At one point, I decided to head into the bios and make sure everything checked out correctly. That's when I noticed the processor temp. It was idling at around 40-45 C!!! I thought that it seemed a little strange and I wanted to try pushing the processors and see where the temperatures would level off at.So I downloaded a tool called Core Temp to monitor the processor temps from within windows. Then I downloaded Prime 95 and tried running a stress test to see where the temps would go. Immediately after starting the test, the temps jumped to 75C (within a second or two) and after about 4 seconds I was getting warnings about the CPU temp reaching dangerous levels. I quickly stopped the stress test.This got me thinking, I wonder if I didn't seat the heat sink down properly. After checking the heat sink I decided it was down completely and I turned the computer on again, only to see the same extremely high temps. At that point, I decided to remove the heat sink, clean off the stock thermal compound and apply arctic silver 5. After re-installing everything and turning the computer on, the temps seemed about 10 degrees cooler all around. Unfortunately, about 10 seconds in to the Prime 95 stress test, the temps jump up to 80 + degrees. Still too hot for my comfort. I've read quite a few reviewers that said they overclocked to 4.5 and 4.6 GHz on just the stock cooler so I'm not sure why mine is running so hot.Despite the processor running this hot I still gave it 4 out of 5 starts for the value at the given price point. Stock coolers tend to be okay at best and perhaps my processor just runs a little hotter than most (or maybe all the 4790Ks run hotter) but this is a problem that is easily fixed by buying an aftermarket air cooler. I've ordered the Cooler Master 212 EVO which is a beast compared to the stock cooler. I have no doubt that installing it will drop my temps down at least 20 degrees under load (maybe more). It only cost about 30 bucks and I don't consider it a huge problem (hence only dropping 1 start off the processor).I just wanted to post some temps of my processors here for other people to see so they have something to compare their processor to. If yours is running hot like mine, try a different aftermarket cooler like the cooler master 212 EVO (or many others out there). If I remember, I'll try it out and come back to update my review with the temps from the new heat sink.One last note, my processor was made in Vietnam and the numbers on the processor are: SR219 X432A796. It was purchased in October of 2014 for any who are interested in which batches are being sold now.

  My only wish is that it had a USB port. Other than that a comforable keyboard.
