4790 VS 4790k?

[DeMiThA]

Is there a noticeable performance difference between 4790 VS 4790k? i don't planing on overclocking, 4790k worth the extra bucks?

[MegaDave91]

There is no difference aside from the unlocked multiplier. A 4790K at stock is a 4790.

no

if you're not gonna OC, you shouldnt bother.

Same thing except the 4790k can be OC'd.

I'd highly recommend the Xeon E3 1231 V3 over the 4790.  It'll save you a lot of money for the same performance.

One can be Overclocked, (That's what the K means) 

It's up to you, Know if you will OC.  I am sitting on a i7 myself with reasoning as the build has to last 5 years or more.  Overclocking, for me will be very important.

Wow fast replys   Thank you very much guys.

You all are missing the fact that the stock-clocked 4790k is faster than the 4790 as well.

Incorrect, the i7-4790k runs 4.2 GHz on all cores turbo at stock while the i7-4790 runs 3.8 GHz on all cores turbo.

I need the integrated GPU on 4790 bro, don't intend on using a dedicated GPU anytime soon.

Unfortunately most of the advice you got was from people who were full of shit. The 4790k has a 10.5% higher stock clockspeed than the 4790.

oo  :mellow:

How much more is it than the 4790 in your area? It's probably not worth your time, to be honest. The general consensus is K variants are used if the user has intentions of overclocking. Not many use the K variant if they're not overclocking.

its 35$ more for the K, i like to have a faster processor, im a average pc user , dont game much, if any.im not planing on using a GPU. so im relying on the intel HD  graphics, overclocking the processor will give me a boost in graphics too?  do you think one can spot the performance difference between k and non k on daily pc use?

On that premise alone I would not recommend a K variant. Allocate your money towards other hardware, or heck, pocket it.
