This is first i7 I have ever owned. And man its faster than anything I have ever owned. I was choosing between the i5 4690k or this i7 4790k and my uses were for Gaming and Video/Music editing and to be honest I think I would of been disappointed with the i5 cause this i7 can handle so many programs at once its ridiculous at most I run 8 major programs and it does not stutter or slowdown. Also I do wish I got more memory for it cause I only got 2 8gb and I do fill all 8gb with those programs so that's the only thing holding mine back. Also temps for me are pretty dang low I have a h105 water cooler and the temps stay at 27c to 29c at idel and max load 66 to 68c and that's when my room is cold in the morning. When I have my room at 88f it idels at 33c and max load stays the same so I think its really good especially in my situation that I don't have central ac or any form of ac for that matter. Any ways If you choose this CPU you wont regret it and it will last a very long time.
I am so glad that I purchased this CPU. The first one was not delivered correctly. Amazon was awesome and sent out another package. Installed the CPU on the board that I purchased as well, and i am very satisfied with this CPU. Recommend this to anyone!

Types silently and good feedback pressure without the noisy keystrokes, making late night typing no longer a nuisance.
LOVE how it looks like a mac keyboard, granted the keys are thicker and requires a bit more strength than the mac but its a wonderful keyboard at an affordable cost. I am considering buying a spare to use at the office. Since it is new I won't be washing it anytime soon, but reading other reviews assure me that it will be a breeze as well.
This keyboard is incredible! At first I was hesitant to buy it because it was relatively cheaper, but as I had destroyed my last keyboard spilling beer on it I thought it was worth a shot. Well, not only is it sturdy and spill proof, it's insanely easy to clean and the raised numbers are an absolute joy to type on. I actually bought a second one to hold on reserve in case this one goes out- 4 years now though and it's still pristine. I use it for writing and gaming and other intensive purposes frequently.
OC mine to 4.7 ghzsuperfast processingI need 1.36 volts to get 47x multiplier and 100 bclk but if I downclock it to 4.65 ghz (46x multiplier and 101 bclk I can keep voltage around 1.31 --The thing is, I paid intel $25 extra for overclocking insurance so if I burn out my CPU by applying too much voltage OCing I am covered under warranty. So i feel perfectly fine pusing it to the limit. I am stable on prime 95 (dont use 28, use prime ver 26.? because it works better with Haswell--the newest prime is bad for haswell, causing temps to rise too much with even minor OC). Google which version is the exact one to use, it slips my mind at this moment.Of course, throw out the stock heat sink when it arrives. I am using a corsair h100i and it works magic. If your case cant handle it then use the h80i.

I eat and drink way too much at my keyboard. I've spilled milk, pop, and juice on keyboards that have ruined them. So far this one is holding up great. I can pick the food particles wedged under the keys without any damage. I can also wash this darn thing and it keeps coming back for more. If you're a rather messy eater then this one's for you.
The i7 4790k is an awesome chip. I upgraded from an old i5 with 2.2 GHz so I am pleased. I have this chip in a ASUS maximus hero VII, Samsung EVO 120GB SSD, Corsair Vengeance pro 8GB ram 1866 and h100i and r9 290 gigabyte.Came in at 4.4GHz @ 1.02vmy OC: 4.8 GHz @ 1.25v stable35 degrees C idle, about 60 degrees under gaming load (crisis 3, tomb raider), also about 80-90 degrees under stress testmight be able to OC further if I knew how to tweak my Asus hero 7 mobo better. but with my current cooling system(h100i) I am comfortable where I am at.

As a writer, I need a keyboard that is comfortable, but as a parent, I also need one that is a bit more child-proof. While the key placement took some initial time to get used to, it's not too drastically different from many others, and it really is submersible. I've already had to give this thing a dunk or three since I purchased it, and I couldn't have been happier about it's ability to wash and come out in working order.
The only con I have against this keyboard is the volume of the keys themselves. It's not exactly a quiet keyboard, especially when I'm really getting into something and the sound of compressed keys fills the air for a short burst of time.
Well, its an intel chip, one of the best. I don't even need a video card to run stuff on my computer. I do have to say if you have 300 bucks, buy this for your computer upgrade or initial build
