To some of you the title of this review might appear a bit cryptic. The fact of the matter is that after all the decades of producing CPU's Intel makes n00bie mistakes with regard to them is not believable. This leaves one and only one conclusion, Intel deliberately crippled the precursor to the 4790K namely the 4770K.If one takes the lid off the 4770K, gets rid of all the gunk that Intel smeared on it, replaces the Thermal Interface Material with a good one, and then replaces the lid so that it is actually in proximity to the CPU then you get a processor which is indistinguishable to the 4790K in EVERY RESPECT.I know this,

This came really early and is a great bang for buck CPU its very powerful and has no problem with anything. Ive also got a gtx 1060 6gb and 16gb ddr3 RAM this this set up can run fortnite and other AAA titles on full settings automatically at a steady 80+FPS but it only give out 60FPS as i only have a 60hz monitor. Over all this was a great price for a i7 and it is performing brilliantly! Just make sure you buy a good CPU cooler as the i7 gets quite hot but thats normal... im using the coller master 212 evo or 121 evo or something like that i can't remember. But that works fine! This is a great option to buy!

I love this processor. The first one I bought has lasted me well over 4 years and I have never had an issue with heat or processing speed. At 4.2 ghz, the processor packs a punch and is a pleasure to work with in installation. Currently I have upgraded my brothers gaming pc into a new future proofed rig so that he will be safe for a fair few years. I consider it a fantastic product for the price and would add that It's retained it's value on the market since initial release. In conclusion, If I ever build another gaming pc, this is the processor I would use for efficiency and heat control.

This Cpu is the fastest of the Haswell line It has worked perfectly straight from the box there was a small Intel sticker in the box which you can stick to your case if you choose.The stock intel cooler was more than able to keep the cpu cool under load.The heat material was pre applied to the heatsink making for easy installation.The snap in legs also make installation simple but take care when inserting the heatsink pins through the motherboard as i have had the odd one bend in the past

I'd purchased this little bad boy for my nephew as a gift for his bday as he's been planning to build his gaming PC for some time now and was in need for a CPU. So, once installed I tested his new PC and it was awesome. Really fast at loading pages/start up menu and other bits and bobs. Although I not a computer geek, I do know most of the stuff and if you're considering buy this bad boy, then you're investing in a very good piece of hardware.

This CPU has opened a new lease of life for my PC, Faster processing speeds along with multi-tasking. I was very hesitant to buy and fit a CPU having never done it before but it literally took me 10 mins and works perfectly ok.Great company to deal with with a speedy delivery service. thank you guys, pleasure doing business with you.

Effective for gaming, the best DDR3 compatible CPU available. May have to flash your bios for the motherboard to recognise so keep an older working CPU to hand until you’ve successfully posted with the new CPU. Great performance in games with multi threading a real bonus compared to similar age Intel i5 4 core processors.

The Intel i7-4790K is the fastest processor that can be installed onto an LAG 1150 motherboard, it requires a decent heatsink & fan to keep it cool. It's performance has been rock solid since installation and it can be overclocked if you wish to, although I'm happy running it at stock speed.

the best cpu for socket 1150, browsing, applications, editing, and gaming, still running like a champ for the age of this cpu. still able to hold its ground for a while yet, pair with a decent cooler, decent ram, and a decent gpu, this processor still handles all newest games and apps.

Amazing how fast and cool this five year old CPU is!It will hang with the newest generation CPUs if you're not into the latest bleeding edge.Rock solid temps as well on a simple non-serviced water cooler.

This i7 is an absolute bargain for £200. It supports DDR3 (so no money crunching buying DDR4) and performs like an absolute boss at all resolutions. Even stands up well in workstation loads!

It's twice the speed of an i5 haswell I think, so definitely worth it, future proof for another 4 years at least, I hope! :)

Best gaming processor for over clocking, 4.9 GHz achieved, stable at this point, Computer didn’t like 5GHz.
