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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

Compared to the i5, the 4690K is hot. In idle i5 4690K 27-28 degrees. i7 4790K 33-34 degrees. Cooler Noctua NH-C14. In GTA 5, when overclocking 4.5Ghz, it reached 70 degrees, which is not very. And the i5 4690K did not even reach 60 degrees with overclocking of 4.6Ghz. Changed the thermal paste, still didn't help. I think SVO will solve the problem. Before buying, think that you need a top-end air cooler or dropsy.

Pros
  • Good in games and video work.
Cons
  • Could be temperature.
