  I installed this in my new rig and everything is so fast, it is a huge change from my  Intel Core i7-870 Processor 2.93 GHz 8 MB Cache Socket LGA1156  with 8GB of RAM.-  Corsair Carbide Series White 500R Mid Tower Computer Case (CC-9011013-WW) -  Gigabyte Black Edition LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboards GA-Z97X-UD5H-BK -  Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory (CMZ16GX3M2A1600C10) -  Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan (RR-212E-20PK-R2) -  Crucial MX100 256GB SATA 2.5 7mm (with 9.5mm adapter) Internal Solid State Drive CT256MX100SSD1 - Windows 8.1I do not manually overclock but I believe the motherboard above runs it slightly overclocked by default. Temperatures are cool and performance is stable. I'm glad I went with the components that I did, especially this CPU.

  Here's my build to add context to the review:CPU: i7-4790KCooler: Corsair H100i (with Noctua fans)Mobo: Asus Maximus VI Gene (mATX)RAM: 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws X (2133MHz)SSD: Intel 730 Series 240GBHDD: Two (2) 3TB Seagate Barracudas in RAID1PSU: Corsair CS550M (80+ gold)Video Card: GTX 750Ti EVGA Superclocked edition(all other parts are irrelevant)My experience with this chip has been nothing but fantastic from the beginning. I have been stress testing my chip for a few days at varying frequencies, and my results were almost unbelievable. I was able to achieve 5.1GHz with my voltage set on auto. I used both P95 and AIDA64 in my testing, both of which my CPU passed with flying colors after a 4 hour burn in. However, I was not able to make it to 5.2GHz since my PC blue screened after 5 minutes of Prime95.All of this is extremely surprising since I've seen numerous reviews raving that this chip is a bad overclocker. So I've narrowed my possibilities down to three reasons. One, The reviewers who had overheating issues had a bad cooling system; two, they're very bad at using the BIOS; three, I must have the most golden 4790K to hit the shelves. Whichever is the case, I feel I have a great CPU and one that overclocks like a boss. If you don't believe me, I have the CPUID screenshot on my desktop for bragging rights.If you're looking for a great Haswell refresh chip, look no further. This is a phenomenal processor. Or maybe I'm just excited to be upgrading from an AMD Phenom build that I've had since 2008.

  I upgraded to this processor from an about 3.5 years old AMD processor, and it has definitely made a noticeable difference. It's significantly faster at just about everything, and the 4 cores / 8 threads are great for multithreaded applications.

  Awesome keyboard. Seems very fancy but not heavy on the wallet. Keys are nice and nimble. Washes easy, bottom brush comes in handy, FN key makes my life so much easier.

  I bought it for the ability to be able to wash it. Not crazy about the layout, because its so much different than normal keyboards. The buttons protrude out, but because its a washable keyboard, thats kinf of a necessity. Would buy again.

  Fantastic processor, but don't bother upgrading if you already had a 4770k. I upgraded from a 4670k and I'm loving it though.

  I built my previous computer more than 6 years ago, and was due a refresh. So, naturally, I wanted the best bang-for-the-buck processor in my new build. Enter the i7-4790K. Four cores, eight threads, and a base clock speed of 4 GHz make this processor a best buy, IMO. They redesigned the thermal layer in this CPU, so the temperatures remain incredibly manageable while overclocking it. That being said, this processor is so fast that I haven't even bothered OC'ing it, and my setup is more than capable of doing so - it's paired with an ASRock Z97 motherboard, fast RAM, etc.This processor is a no-brainer for anyone looking to upgrade, and if you pair this with a solid state drive, it'll blow your mind how fast everything becomes. Amazon will only let me give it 5 stars, but it truly deserves more.

  Worked on first boot as expected. I recommend a bigger heat sink because inside the case gets super hot on the stock one. You can feel the heat if you put your hand a few inches away when the CPU is under load. It chews through everything easily but you need to keep it cool! I recommend something with good value like a CM Hyper 212 cooler. Installed on a Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI board and 16GB ram (Red CMY16GX3M2A2400C11R) and it works well.
