Review: I am happy with the speed increase with this super processor! - I purchased this chip as a replacement to my older i5 4690k. The 4790k, a member of the same Haswell family. I purchased it for the 4.0 Ghz out of the box clock speed.... 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...
Review: Fantastic upgrade from the AMD 8350. - So, this is my first Intel processor after owning an AMD 8350. Although AMD is great for the price, and looks as though it's got some pretty beast specs for what you're paying for, this i7 truly outclasses it. I do a lot of rendering and this CPU is an absolute monster. Everything runs buttery smooth, I'm truly converted to Intel now. For the AMD folk, I know AMD is great for the price, and it does pretty good, I've been running AMD builds for 6 years now, but since I've finally got the money to upgrade, it's honestly like a whole new world. I considered moving up to another AMD processor, the 9590, however there's a good chance you'll have to buy a motherboard for it seeing as it doesn't have much compatibility with many motherboards due to needing so much power. You'd also need to buy an AIO Water Cooler in order to simply stop it from overheating, because a stock fan would not do enough. Honestly, if you're on an 8350 and you're looking to upgrade but you're considering sticking with AMD because it's cheaper, the only upgrade you're gonna get is the 9590 which is gonna cost almost as much to buy as it costs to convert to Intel. Not only this, but with AMD, the 9590 is where upgrading stops. Once you've bought that you won't be able to upgrade any more because the AM3+ socket is dead, so there's no future proofing. Whereas if you get an Intel, you'll have much more choice and be able to upgrade in the future. Seriously consider the change.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome CPU. I've just upgraded from an AMD FX ...
*by J***Y on 4 May 2015*

Awesome CPU. I've just upgraded from an AMD FX 8350 and man, was it worth it. I'm no fanboy of anybody. I just get the best I can afford at the time of upgrade and the AMD was great for the price. But, performance wise, this is simply in a different class. My 3DMark Firestrike benchmark with AMD was around 11023. With this chip and nothing more, 18002 (no overclocking) I was also suffering FPS drops in some of the newer AAA titles. Dying light for example would drop nearly 20 frames in some places and I needed to keep the draw distance slider below half way to keep it steady-ish, Now, slider all the way up and no drop in frames at all. Same story with GTA 5. Would drop nearly in half in some places but no more now. Rock solid and stable fps at max settings. Only downside is it does seem to run pretty hot under load. Idle, it sits around 27-31 degrees. Under load, I've seen go up to 70 and above. I have ordered a water cooler to hopefully help keep under control. Other than that, very happy.
