Core i7-4790K

Terrible (edit your comment) Add link

Late getting this PC; but what a beast. It shatters my i7 3770; and with a Azrock Killer board; how can you go wrong.

Excellent

VERY VERY good processor pretty powerfull for his age and its still works very well in 2023 its a 3.6ghz processor with a 4GHZ BOOST ?! yeah very powerfull for an old cpu

Poor

Despite showing age, overclock this CPU and you're still ready to go for at least 1-3 years.

Good

a 2014 cpu performs better than a 2017 one

Terrible

4.6GH i milk every penny of this beast

Good

A beast even after 5 years !!!

Good

10 years old, and still rock solid performance and never giving any kind of problems. This a cpu to hold.

Good

i bought a pc with the i7 4790k for school, i was amazed by it's performance, it's a 4th gen one but it is pretty fast.

Excellent

The best/fastest CPU you can get on 1150 socket.

Good

Looking at the user benchmark comparisons from this site, it looks like the i7-4790k really only starts to get outclassed when compared to the 8th and 9th gen CPUs. Not sure if Intel just really hit it out of the park with the i7-4790k back in 2014, or if Intel hasn't really been innovating as much after that. i7-4790k released Q2 2014, i7-6900k released Q2 2016 +2% faster, i7-7700k released Q1 2017 +10% faster, i7-8700k released Q4 2017 +19% faster, i7-9700k released Q4 2018 +27% faster

Excellent

Probably the best CPU that supports DDR3 and still running AAA titles like a CHAMP!

Excellent

en 2019 il est au top 1 2 3 viva l'algerie

Excellent

Recurring security flaws really gimped the performance on my system.

Excellent

Still handles an RTX 2070 in 2020 and it's from 2014!!

Poor

Worked really well until now, still a beast in performance

Excellent

Rock solid CPU. Not top tier anymore, but it does what it needs to do; rip through games like there's not tomorrow

Good

Had this for 7 years and it still works fine. But now is the time to upgrade

Good

overheats easily with good air cooling unless changing volt/frequency settings

Excellent

For its age I think this CPU really punches above it's grade, especially when overclocked!

Outstanding

Excellent

vary guds better than michael's

Excellent

It works , a chip from 4 years ago still holds up against today's processors and tasks. Its just a great CPU

Poor

sus cualidades no justifican el precio

Excellent

Have this cpu from 2014, still runs great

Excellent

This CPU is on top, the i9 13900KS is literally just 63% better

Terrible

Im not sure how exactly this is better than a i7 9700k but it should not be so please demote it of its rank by at least 60 times

Outstanding

Oustanding performance. Bought it from eBay with $180, absolute bargain. Even after 2 years still destroys 90% of cpus. Voted 9/10 just because my chip can't go over 4.7 Ghz. For a 2 year old cpu, it has my total respect.

Terrible

it low for 4k

Excellent

One of the best i7's ever made, in my opinion

Excellent

My first "real" PC , I used it for three year, very very reliable, but high temp, and poor in "creator" mode (video editig, rendering) good for gaming. In general a nice CPU

Excellent

Hey Im the guy from the USA who is always #1 with the Asrock Extreme9. Seems like I should get like some kind of award? Thanks

Excellent

Still going strong

Outstanding

really fast even not overclocked

Excellent

GOOD CPU FOR GAMING

Good

it's a realy good CPU for gaming and won't be to weak for almost any game. But... It's a little bit to weak if you want to be streaming your pfs games. But I recommend it for a good gaming setup.

Excellent

Still holding up amazingly after 5 years.

Excellent

good overclocker and still very powerfull, Wen overclockt it is good like a i7 7700K

Excellent

From 2014 and still a beast 6 years later

Excellent

999999999 fps

Excellent

One of the best CPU's to have come out of Intel. Still going strong in 2022 with an Overclock and no need to switch anytime soon.

Excellent

Recently upgrade from i5 4670k to i7 4790k. Now i have 97-99% gpu usage in Shadow of the Tomb Raider and stable fixed 60 fps. 1080p ultra / 5700XT

Excellent

Still Superior quad-core performance even though far outdated by now

Excellent

its on par with skylake no need to update

Excellent

With a custom single loop liquid cooling solution and the delidding of this chip (w/ liquid metal) makes this run smoothly at 5.2GHz on all cores.

Good

Świetny procesor

Good

Kvalitní a stabilní CPU. Nepřehřívá se, při hraní náročných her má nejvýš 60°C. A i multimediální práci zvládá luxusně, co se týče renderování videí a práce v programech.

Excellent

4.8 GHz overclock with delid.

Excellent

4.50 GHz 8 threads 4 cores, Cache 8 MB

Excellent

Still very powerfull in 2019 !

Excellent

Great overclocking or undervolting

Excellent

It is still a great cpu 6 years later

Excellent

Really Fast. Made my aging desktop fast again.

Excellent

I couldn't have chosen a better CPU. 2022 and I'm using a CPU from 2014. The alleyway talk was true its a beast. This thing just rips through everything i deal it. Proven power and reliability.

Outstanding

I went from FX-6300 to i7-4790k and it's a killer!

Outstanding

I picked up mine for $260 in 2014, and for that price, its pretty crazy

Excellent

High VFM, aswell as oc capability

Excellent

The 4790k continues to hold up as a robust chip with plenty of overclocking potential. It's more than adequate for gaming at standard refresh rates and as a general-purpose computer CPU it will easily last for years to come. With a good overclock and an adequate cooling solution, it remains competent even in more demanding modern gaming titles. I'm convinced this is one of the chips they'll write stories about even 10 years from now thanks to its legendary and rock-solid performance. Definitely one for the CPU hall of fame.

Excellent

Just picked one up on the 'bay for $145. I have it on an Arctic Freezer II 280. Overclocked to 4.8 ghz. It's ballin' no problem. I'm holding out for maybe 2 years to upgrade, we'll see. Bought it for fun and to try overclocking.

Excellent

Perfect to overclock and compete with 10th Gen i7's in gaming.

Excellent

Bought this cpu approx. 6 years ago and it has been a true beast. Originally, I just had it at stock speed of 4.0 GHz with 4.4GHz turbo speed paired with a liquid cooler. Recently, I overclocked it to 4.8 GHz and it still shines 6 years later.

Excellent

Worked great for me for years, but time for an upgrade. Still an awesome CPU.
