what do you think about 4790k 

[Semper]

I think it's a Haswell Refresh i7 processor from Intel. What exactly do you want to know about it?

[LIGISTX]

Its good, better than my 4770k when it comes to overclocking, and thats about all there is too it.

[Guest]

It's pretty neat for people who are "afraid" of overclocking their CPU. It'll turbo up to 4.4GHz all on its own. You should still get a decent cooler for it though, from what I've heard the stock cooler isn't really all that great and it can get uncomfortably hot.

[Sauron]

I think you don't need one ^^

I read on MMO Champ set up of the month "unless you are doing heavy video rendering, you do not need a 4790 and that money should be spent else where"

they rated the i5 4690k Narwal and Unicorn status soley for gaming. I guess it all depends on what you do with your machine

I think it is a CPU.

 

 

That is all.

So long as you have 280mm of fan space to mount said cooler on, in your case, it is a powerful contender.

So my rig is a Narwal/Unicorn despite having a gtx660?

There's really one thing I don't like 4790k, stock cooler is junk, so you do need a decent cooler

I like your signature, all I read was SKYNET IS HERE!

Meh. The mobo seems nice enough although I do plan on upgrading it at some point. Although by then I should just get a new mobo and 4790k (because reasons). It seems more than fast enough. Just wish I could replace the GPU, monitor, and have nothing but 512gb SSD's.

Black Friday is at hand! replace it all then! Since I heard that Intel CPU's are beast for gaming someone also said you can run it on like a 60.00 mobo and be fine. OCing it and all... you should be able to get a nice monitor on sale for like 100 bucks on newegg soon enough!

I'm hopefully going to get a monitor. Only issue is I am not sure what my gtx660 can handle for a 1080p 144z monitor, or a 1440p 75hz monitor. (i'd prefer 4k but yeah....aint rolling in cash over here)

yeah dude i been trolling for a 1440p monitor and they start at like 500... F that noise for now. personally I'd get a new card first and like a 23" LED monitor 2nd. Not sure about Nvidia cards and your model but if you have a i5 4690k, yuo should deffinatly treat that bad boy to a nice GPU first IMO! you can always hook up your PC to a 1080p if you have one in the house for now

 

there are a few good threads on that CPU and how its great for gaming and what not- stuff I never knew till this week. no bottle necking or anything like that they posted!
