At stock it is actually faster and cooler than my overclocked 4770K at 4.4ghz. The memory controller is much better on the Z97 motherboards allowing me to run this high overclock with my memory at 2400mhz, which I was not able to do with my older Z87 motherboard. I have been able to manually overclock this cpu easily to 4.7Ghz on all 4 cores with 1.3V and the load temps have not exceeded 73C. I ran the cpu at stock for a few hours and was amazed when I found that it was running Prime 95 at 67C with only 1.23V. I received this cpu yesterday and swapped it out after updating the bios on the Asus motherboard. I have a custom water loop and 87C was a little too high for my liking. I bought a new ROG Hero Z97 board for this build and until last week I was using my 4770K in it 4.4ghz with 1.3v and a load temp of 87C (prime 95). I must confess that I am pleasantly surprised. I decided to buy the 4790K to see what the new TIM and packaging brought to the table. However I am an early adopter and building computers is a hobby of mine. Overall Review: To be honest there was nothing wrong with my 3770K or 4770K. Overclocks well enough considering stock clocks

Overall Review: The awesome-in-a-case build: Its about 30 Celsius idling and around 40 Celsius under load. I have a closed-loop water cooler on it and the temperature is not an issue at idle or under load.

The 4790K PC beats my overclocked system by a clear margin. She isn’t a gamer, so I wanted to make sure I didn’t push the stability. I overclock my i7-4770K not long after I got it over a year ago just for fun. Pros: The K version allows you to overclock the CPU speed, so it tends to appeal to gamers and, naturally, overclocker enthusiasts opposed to business users.
