Review on Intel Core i7-4790K CPU (8M Cache, up to 4.40 GHz) - BX80646I74790K by Micha Gozdalik ᠌

I bought for a workstation with virtual machines. The cooler is appropriate, good. Together with two SSDs and 32Gb RAM, it works smartly. It's difficult to evaluate the processor in isolation, but overall the system more than copes with its functions. Graphic the card costs mediocre (GTX-760), but even toys seem to run without problems at high settings. Simultaneously launched 3-5 virtual machines work quite decently, and the usual software is running on them - Skype emails, 20-30 tabs in the browser, development tools, etc. On top of this, you can run any game and watch a movie on the second monitor. If someone needs a universal high-performance station for working on isolated projects (virtual = project), then this processor is suitable. The temperature at idle is generally something a little higher than 30, at a serious load it heats up within the normal range. And I didn’t overclock at all, enough of what I have, it will stop coping - only then will I start overclocking.
