Review on Intel I5 4690 Processor Cache BX80646I54690 by Wiktor Franko ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product did not disappoint, the quality pleases.

I have been using it for almost a year in conjunction with the motherboard Asus H97 Pro Gamer + Asus strix 970 GTX 4Gb OC. Firstly, I immediately installed a 120mm cooler from Zalman, it's stupid to drive a percent with a stock one. What to say. Stock 3500 (without turbo boost) boldly overclocked to 3900, then it became scary. They say they drove up to 4200-4400, but for now it’s important for me not to burn it while the guarantee is valid. So here are the results in stock (3500Mhz), let me remind you, GTX970 OC Strix. 1080p resolution v-sync disabled. All Ultra settings: The Witcher 3 39-49 fps Project Cars 59fps Skyrim 80-90+ Far Cry 4 - 59-65 fps Assassins Creed Unity ~40 fps When working with rendering: Vegas, Adobe Premiere rendering HD resolution 60fps - loading by 70% at FullHD is already at 100%, while starting the game will no longer work, even CS GO lags terribly. At the same time, Vidyukha is loaded by 5-9%, so here's the top-end Core i5. If someone rendered on i7 4790k, write. And so for games, I see no reason to overpay 50% for a top-end i7. But at current prices, the percentage costs as before i7, so the price bites.

Pros
  • - decent performance - it is possible to disperse the stone
Cons
  • - the cooler in the kit can be safely thrown away - in heavy tasks (fHD rendering, 3k is 100% clogged) - the price is too high
