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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

I bought it as a kit with Msi z97 ​​PC Mate and Zalman CNPS10X Performa cooler. The temperature in idle was 32-33 degrees but in the stress test it showed 63-65 (at a frequency of 4.2 GHz). Which is not good for a guy with a "K" index. It's good that I had Zalman CNPS10X Extreme on my old Q9550, which is 7 years old. Now the indicators are pleasing 27-28 in idle time and 47-50 in the stress test. Overclocked to 4.7 GHz for the sake of interest 31-32 and 63-66, respectively (did not expect such a result). Compared to the Zalman CNPS10X Performa, it's just heaven and earth. It needs a really top-end cooler, which can not only cool the standard 4-4.4 GHz, but also give room for overclocking.

Pros
  • Power compared to the old Q9550! Regular 4Ghz. Enough for 3-5 years ahead.
Cons
  • The price after the weakening of the. Hot boy.
