  Performance is enough for most gaming, but overclocking this piece is a pain. The default frequency is high enough, so it is hard to push the clock higher, but the major issue is the TEMPERATURE. Cores can get EXTREMELY HOT under load if you overclock and add core voltage. I probably have got a bad piece, which requires a voltage of 1.23v at 4.6GHz. This was the stablest voltage for my 4790K, I have tried to reduce the voltage and it caused blue screens even when gaming. However, under AIDA64 stability test the average core temperature is about 95℃, which prevented further overclocking (i tried push the frequency to 4.7GHz at higher voltage, but the core was overheat when doing the stability test, then the frequency dropped. Pleace note that I am using a 240mm cooler master liquid cooler with all the fans running at max speed). The difference of performance between 4.4GHz and 4,7GHz is barely noticeable even at benchmark test. I am now buying a Haswell-E processor, with larger surface area and soldered IHS, its cooling performance are much better than the 4790K, and there will be a huge gain in performance if you overclock it to above 4GHz. Maybe several years later i will have it delidded and build a custom-loop water cooling for it, see if I can push the frequency higher.

  J****.

  I can have do nearly everything shy of games and have my usage stay under 10%. This is a VERY fast processor that can handle multitasking and makes my new system worth every penny. You definitely want to build your system around a great processor, and this i7 is probably the best you can find for a gaming system right now.

  I have had this keyboard for approximately a year now. I brought it in to my office to use there, since I have a bad habit of eating my lunch at my desk... even after tons of crumbs and spills it is still going strong. Easy to clean, hasn't lost it's clickity-ness nor any stuck keys. Great product.

  The best of best of the i7's. A beast of a processor for any computer you have. Great for overclocking. Will handle any thing you throw at it. Works great with Windows and Linux.

  I am a game developer, so I needed some pretty good specs. This right here is the best processor you can get before you need a $250 mobo and DDR4 RAM. During the first whole day of me installing software, this did not even go above 35% usage. I have yet to have any complaints about this, and I am just running it at 4.2 GHz. My boot time with this is less than 15 seconds after I push the power button, and love it!

  REALLY REALLY FASTwith one catchREALLY REALLY HOTyou're gonna want water cooling for this one: I reccommend Kraken x41, I used it on mine and now its running at 60C at max rather than almost getting fried. Its better to make that $100 investment and be safe then to try and do stock cooling and potentially losing $350.

  I used this processor in my latest build: Gigabyte GA-Z97n-Gaming5 motherboard, 16gb Corsair Vengeance Pro 2400 RAM, Noctua Dual Tower CPU Cooler, ASUS GTX970 mini, and a Corsair 650w PSU in a modded Raijinek Metis case. The CPU/GPU combination push the ASUS PB258Q 25 WQHD 2560x1440 monitor along at highest settings for all the games I have played on it thus far. Heat is also not a problem: idle is in the high 20s and low 30s, and peaks are in the high 60s when gaming. I could not be more pleased.

  Very fast CPU, I haven't tried any overclocking yet. Using the stock frequency and with the most heat setting of Prime95 stress tester my liquid cooling system is not able to keep up and it overheats. Using the balanced setting of Prime95 it does fine. This may not bode very well for overclocking, I may need to upgrade my cooling system. I'm using a Corsair H60 120mm liquid cooler with Tuniq TX-4 ultra high performance thermal compound. My previous CPU, an i5 4670K, did not come near overheating under the same conditions. Since this i7 uses hyper threading on 4 cores for a total of 8 threads, along with the higher frequency, increases it's workload greatly. I'm also not sure how well Prime95 really simulates actual conditions. Nothing else I've thrown at it in normal usage causes an overheat. More testing ahead. The Amazon Prime only special price on this was nice too.Update:I updated to a 240mm water cooler and this CPU is now running much cooler even with some mild overclocking but it still cannot handle Prime95's most heat setting. It immediately overheats. I think that test may not reflect real world conditions. Nothing else, even with some overclocking, comes near to overheating the CPU. I don't know if the Prime95 application was written with this type of processor in mind. So I will continue to test with a bit more overclocking and see what happens. I won't test any further with that 'most heat' setting of Prime95. Otherwise this CPU has been working great, no problems at all. With this CPU and an SSD boot drive Windows 10 boots almost instantly.Update:It was suggested that I try an older version of Prime95 to test (see comments) and it does work as it should with the older 26.6 version. It runs at 68-70 C using the same settings that caused it to overheat with the later version. Some internet research verifies this to be an issue between at least some of the latest Intel CPUs and the later Prime95 versions. I had suspected it to be an issue with Prime 95 and apparently it is. So if you are going to use Prime95 to test this CPU, I at least, recommend you use the earlier version of Prime95 to avoid prematurely making toast out of your CPU.

  This processor has given strong performance on my computer at home. I have had no issues with it and enjoy its performance.

  Awesome upgrade! I recently built a new system around this CPU using the 4790k, the MSI Gaming 5 Motherboard, the Noctua NH-D14 CPU cooler, and the Coolermaster HAF 922 Case. The i7 is really fast and handles all of my games, video streaming, and video encoding without any problems. I was lucky enough to get this CPU right before Skylake came out, so I saved some money on getting a quality processor on last year's flagship processor. If you are looking to build a powerful computer but aren't ready for Skylake Devil's Canyon won't disappoint!
