Update: 4/17/16: One thing I did notice with this CPU was that, at first, it was a bit unstable and ran a bit warm. I noted the first time it booted up a slight freeze then reboot and then Windows came up. The first set up was this way and then I started having freezes, lockups, and unannounced reboots running at 4.3 gigs. It seemed my first impressions were a bit high. I did a reset of the heat sink compound and tried again. Same thing at 4.3 gig. After placing my old i5 3.2 gig back in for a check and it running just fine, I decided to try once again. I removed the i5 and put in the i7. This time I cleared the BIOS as I had run into having old BIOS values mess me up at times. I also added a 120mm fan to the case's left side to set up a bit more air flow thru the case. I reseated my sound card and graphics card, and I made sure all cables were tight. This time when I booted up, the system did not hang but booted to the screen informing me a BIOS clear at been done. It was smooth and there wasn't a hang to it. I went into the BIOS and disabled the on board sound and that's it, I left everything else like it was and booted into Windows 10 Pro. Windows booted up without a problem and loaded fine. I cranked up the Intel Extreme Tuning Ulit, and checked things out. Turned out I was again running at 4.2 gig. The system seemed OK, but was some of the readings looked a bit off to me, so I decided to try a test and sure enough the system seemed to be a little shaky to me. I decided on another test before I ran any stress tests. I set the system at 4 gigs solid and observed the readings. Things seemed to setting down and the temps seemed to stabilize around 35 to 40c. Not as low as hoped but in range. Since I hadn't planned on an overclock anyway, this would be OK IF they didn't get much higher. I then ran 10 minutes worth of CPU stress and memory tests after a 5 minute benchmarking in Intel's uitil., and then a 10 minute stress test under OCCP and the system sailed thru them all with the temps never getting above 83c but just spiking to it and no locking up, freezing or reboots. I've noted it seems to run around 35-40c when idling and around 70-76c under load. The main thing now is it seems very stable at 4 gigs for me and that's what I wanted even if it took me a little while to get there.
Update: 7/18/16: OK, so here's the finally setup I had to run with. First, turned Turbo-boost OFF in BIOS. Second, ran Intel Extreme Tuning Tool and set CPU core voltage on this system at 1.1005 volts, with Manual static setting only as that was the setting that got me the most stable running. (No Adaptive as, on my system, this causes lock ups and reboots when sudden voltage spikes up or down hit the CPU.) In this set up, the system is very stable, runs cool (Around 35-40c idle and 50-60c under load) and allows me to run my games and any thing else without any problems at all. The only problem that I run into every once in awhile is when somehow the static setting gets switched back to the adaptive set up and I don't spot it in time, I'll get the total system lock up and need to reboot by the power button on the system, otherwise no problems and system runs very solid without problems. (I've play one game 12 to 24 hours without a problem with the static setup.) (Think that Intel should allow the user to "set" the most stable profile ae the "default" profile for their system but they don't.) I maybe should have got the "locked" 4790 but I wanted the 4 gigs running speed and not 3.6. Still think it's a really good buy.
Notes:
For this record, this is a osx build. Not gonna list all the specs. El Capitan. See the OC section of this review to learn more about OCing hackintosh with this chip.
Performance OOB:
My computing tasks are 85% raw image editing (photography),12% web browsing, and 3 % video editing anymore. But I needed a CPU that could crush raw HDR photography blending in Lightroom 6. Just for comparison, this 4790k is probably 4 times faster at creating raw HDR files from 5-7 exposures than my previously owned i5 4430 3.0Ghz. It exports edited images more than twice as fast... This thing is definitely fast. Truly, the fastest you are going to get for gaming, everyday computing, basic photo editing, etc. You can't get a faster chip. I know, I know, the 6700k is out. But its hardly any better than this chip. DDR4 does absolutely nothing for performance at this early stage... Most people will tell you to stick with the 4790k. The only chip i really contemplated having over this one is the x99 6-core 5820k.
My Cooling:
Using a Hyper212 Evo. Stock fan... 4 case fans (2 corsair SP120s, 2 NZXT 120mm). Stock CPU temps with my build are about 32-34C. I was going to go water cooling for this but when you TRULY research it, AIO water coolers are practically a joke when it comes to reliability. But I might make the jump to H2O just to reach better OC freq.
Overclock:
Ok, so I never overclocked before. I knew I wanted to OC this chip. This was my first chance... So, I decided to read up on it to prevent any idiotic impulse decisions... Little did I know there is basically no "beginner" info for getting into overclocking that is relatively simple to understand. In short: I went to the BIOS and set Vcore at 1.25V, Ram at 1333mhz (1866mhz rated), multiplier at 45x ... Monitored temps with Intel Power Gadget and stress tested with Prime95 (mac). Nothing too in-depth.
OC Results:
So, i think I have a decent chip for OC. Either that, or im doing something wrong that I dont know of haha. Hyper212 Evo - stock fan.
4.6GHz @ 1.265V ~83C Max (P95 for 5 minutes) PASS
4.6GHz @ 1.250V ~82C MAX (P95 for 5 minutes) FAIL
4.6GHz @ 1.260V ~83C MAX (P95 for 10 minutes) PASS
The last OC, I sit "stable" at. For now. I know its only 10 minutes and 5+ hour tests are "the accepted standard" but P95 at 10 minutes stresses my CPU harder than I will ever use it. Heck, its so fast that even exporting a heavily edited 5 minute movie project will take less than that.. Im certain its stable. But will be testing more at this OC.
Conclusion:
I'll update this as needed. A few points... buy it. Its good. Its all you need. Crush the stock heatsink with a hydraulic press if you plan on stepping outside 4.0ghz base clock. If you're heavily gaming (i dont game), get a good cooler like the Cryorig H7 (i want that) or the Noctua big coolers. Hyper 212 is decent. Cryorig H7 is a better product... But anyway, if you're gaming, you wanna keep your CPU cooler as much as possible, not only for performance, but simply to keep the wear and tear down on it.
------------- UPDATE 6/19/16 -----------------------
So i've owned this chip for about 2 weeks now. Since then, I have decided to upgrade my cooling solution. I went with an h100i GTX. Stock thermal paste. Just slapped it on there (cleaned the old paste off first). Using stock fans and added 2 more nzxt case fans on the other side of the rad to keep it cooler.
Temps with the h100i are better. Not as good as I expected, but they are good. I can now keep temps stable clear up to probably 4.8GHz. I only stress test with p95 for a few minutes. Anything past that is just unecessary. I don't push my CPU as hard as p95 ever, so theres no sense it wasting time (im sorry if you disagree).
Now, I was able to OC to 4.6 GHZ with no issues on temps. About ~80C with my h100i and everything running. and 1.247V
I am trying to get to 4.7 but this chip is causing me to crank the voltage at 4.7 to nearly 1.30V which i dont like because my Vcore spikes during P95 past the Vcore set value.
Im not a great overclocker, so im curious to see if someone else could do better on this chip. But honestly, I think my chip is decent for OC, but its definitely not a golden chip like some seem to get.

Acerca del producto también fue la primera vez que compraba un procesador i7, no tengo mucho conocimiento en informática sin embargo tampoco iba a comprar algo sin saber nada, en mi caso ya necesitaba un update, pues contaba con un procesador i3, investigue e indague y resultó que esta generación es la que soporta mi tarjeta madre, si quería una más avanzada necesitaba actualizar la tarjeta madre pero eso ya es de otro tema. Sobre la mejora en pc, me dedico a crear renders de proyectos arquitectónicos y he de decir que me ha recortado el tiempo de espera abruptamente, si he de decir algo malo es que esté procesador se calienta demasiado, creo que es necesario ponerle énfasis a esta parte -SE CALIENTA DEMASIADO-, no es algo para espantar pero se debe tomar en cuenta, yo cometí el pecado de haberlo comprado sin tener un disipador mejor que el de fabrica, cual fue mi sorpresa, estuve dos meses con un ventilador externo ya que no tenía dinero para comprar uno, pero por si tienen duda adquirí un CoolerMaster Evo 212, y los días de terror se acabaron pues me mantiene fresco el procesador y es un disipador accesible y muy bueno. Desde entonces no me he vuelto a preocupar por la temperatura del procesador.
Creo escribi demasiado, pero siempre es bueno compartir la experiencia, aunque sobre gaming, la verdad les quedó debiendo ya que no uso la pc para juegos.
今回購入したこの中古CPUは、買ってよかったと思いました。
予算の関係で、新品を買う事が出来ないので、どうしても中古になってしまい、
しかし、不安が無いと言ったら嘘で、とても不安になります。個人売買より店舗販売と考えると、
中古でもそこそこの値段がついていますが、保証代金として考えれば、個人から買うより安全なので、
こちらで購入しました。正解でした。
Aunque no hay mucho que comentar que no se haya comentado de este procesador, tanto en reviews, comparativas, benchmarks, etc. Es por eso que voy a plantear mi review desde mi experiencia. Además en mi caso, adquirí el ROG Front Base, y es una pijada muy guapa para completar una torre Gaming (ya que dispongo de una de las placas compatibles con este accesorio).
Lo adquirí reacondicionado, y de momento muy bien (prácticamente nuevo, y con los descuentos de estos días pasados, se facilitó la adquisición). Lo adquirí para llevar al máximo nivel mi placa 1150, y de paso comparar realmente de primera mano, sin fanatismos ni favoritismos, de la manera más objetiva posible.
Ha sustituido a un i5 4570T, en una Maximus VII Hero; y a su vez, ese conjunto ha sustituido a un FX8350 en una GA-990FX Gaming (adquirida también aquí en Amazon tras averiarse mi Crosshair V Formula).
A esto le acompaña un Crossfire de R9 290, y es precisamente por ésto el principal motivo de la adquisición. En single thread Intel supera a los AMD, y quería comprobar cuanto incrementaba la estabilidad en el Crossfire con respecto al 8350.
Sinceramente, he de decir que ha mejorado, sobre todo en DX11 y anteriores; no siendo una mejora muy notable en DX12 con respecto al FX8350 (se nota que DX12 está bien optimizado para multiprocesamiento).
Tomando como referencia 3DMark, con TimeSpy, la diferencia es de unos 400 puntos (misma RAM, mismas GPUs). La puntuación del útlimo test que hice fue de 6891 puntos (siendo algo superior que un i7 4790k con un sli de GTX980, según la web oficial).
En cuanto a temperaturas, muchos usuarios hablan de que son muy frescos y tal, pero se calientan igual que los AMD cuando les metes carga de trabajo. Lo tengo con la misma refrigeración líquida que tenía el FX8350, y adquiere las mismas temperaturas (teniendo en cuenta que el AMD lo tengo Overclockeado a 4'6 Ghz, y el i7 4790k está sin OC).
En conclusión, y aunque aún no he podido trabajar mucho con él, es muy buen procesador, aunque sigue siendo un poco caro. No obstante si tienes una placa socket 1150, y quieres llevarla al máximo nivel, éste es tu procesador. Es el mejor procesador para dicho socket, y aún da de sobra para hacer todo tipo de cosas (gaming, edición de video, virtualización...). Casi requisito el tener una placa base con chipset Z97 (para exprimir el procesador al máximo con OC).
As with my last chip this one comes in quite a unexpected small box(not sure what I was expecting). Within the box is the processor which is contained in its own transportation sleeve. Also contained within is the stock cooler and thermal paste. I replaced this paste with a market leading brand in lieu of a water cooler that I am waiting for. I have noticed that the fan can make quite a bit of noise and the processor temp will soar when it is stressed.
I have been impressed with the amazing performance boost that installing this CPU has given me and it is working very well along side my ASUS Gtx 970 Strix, with them tearing up all the games that i have on the highest settings. I am very aware that the majority of games at the moment do not require anything more than four cores but I chose this processor to future proof my pc a little. This processor has given me many options to upgrade my pc if I choose in the future.
This CPU can be overclocked, hence the K and again I don't state that I am an expert in this field but I have read instances of this CPU reahing speeds in excess of 4.5- 4.6 Ghz, with there being many other reviews and websites that can give more information than my basic knowledge, so please look to them:)
All in all, I am very impressed with the quality, power and ability of this chip, this is when paired with an equally capable pc build. The price of the chip is to be expected for both the name of manufacturer and quality of the product, I must complain about the need to buy a better cooling system and I think for the price it should be provided as part of the package, but that's just a small point. Great CPU and I am pleased with my purchase...
