20:20 FAIL BRO! the non k version has base 3.6 and turbo to 4.0 , not 4.4, so here the K is interesting even when not overclocking:D

Great video, however with the recommendation of the non-K be careful as it is clocked 400mhz lower than the K, so the $25 for an extra 400mhz (if not ocing and using auto) is most likely worth it.

Thanks for another great overview Tom! Those temps are darn impressive compared to what I get on my 4770K. For the person looking to run stock, I think the K version of the 4790 is still worth it. The 4790 runs at 3.6 with a turbo of 4.0 while the 4790K does 4.0 with turbo of 4.4. For the extra money, you pick up an extra 400MHz without doing any overclocking. I find it strange that the 4790 is clocked that much lower than the 4790K but I guess Intel wanted to push more of these chips.

It's nice to see you're still using the corsair sp2500! I bought 3 years ago and it's still performing the same way it did the day it was delivered,

Thanks 4 the input and helpful research you did. My favorite line was where you mentioned that you take the screenshots for the vendors and "the trolls" lol. Keep up the solid work bro and thanks again 4 taking time out of your day to help us out! Peace

where's the PSU on that computer???

Hey Tom, glad your still at it! Haven't caught one of your vids in a while, sorry bout that but stay blessed man!

I was waiting for this review,really value your testing, and results.Thanks Tom.

20:16 The Intel Core i7-4790 (without the K) has 3.6 Ghz base and 4.0 Ghz Turbo out of the box, while the one you just tested, as you know has 4.0 base and 4.4 Turbo. One would have to get the K SKU to get the higher out of the box numbers.

Chitta Chatta, grape vines, railway lines, jungle drums and smoke screens... There is a plenty in the soup today Tom!! I like it! Hey, your "Fango Tango," or however the heck it is supposed to go, is also a very refreshingly good phrase too; well, that is of course, according to my magnificent and exquisite taste - if such an assertion does not ruin my reputation for a humble opinion. Overall, it has been a jolly good fill, when you think along the lines of your output being - food for thought. Keep it a coming Tom, for, again, in my humble opinion, you are indeed a world wide web super star - self made and promoted or not. I got stung with the Maxi VI extreme too... You were so right about that Star Trek "beam me up," lazer gun thingy too, I have never actually taken it out of the motherboard box; so to speak. Keep that blunt honesty coming Tom too, for, it is such as that that will keep such as me tuned into your channel, even though, such as the topical review at hand obviously, made and still makes me look like a complete fool, for i.e. parting with all of the loot asked of me, yet, getting nothing special in return. Yea, furthermore, it was super to see you show how a £100 board was outperforming the Maxi VI; honestly, keep the reviews coming, because, I believe, it is starting to dawn on everyone, so to speak, that PC's are the future of such subjects as optimized video/computer/online gaming - whatever the heck it actually is... For me, it is computer gaming; well, I am proud to say such as - I owned three Spectrums, and I had a ton of computer games. P.S. I had a good few games anyhow, maybe not a ton. Surely there is nothing wrong with the phrase "computer games" and "computer gaming." For some strange and possibility unknown reason I do not care for the phrases "video games" and "video gaming." I am sure that the respectability of the sport and hobby has something to do with the core of such a dilemma... Concerning the games, I had about one hundred!! Is this crazy or stupid to ask of you Tom, but I was wondering if you did specific rig guide builds. I am asking because when I come to build my next rig - from scratch, obviously, a man of your knowledge and understanding of the subject and subsequent subjects such as component parts, I realize, that such input, could indeed, see me reach "the pearly gates," so to speak, and who in their right mind does not want to reach the pearly gates of PC's? If you are open to a little specific and personal guidance please do reply.

Finally man! I was waiting for your review on this thing!

Well done Tom. Looking forward to hearing about the retail chips too.

Good video - cheered me up!!! Dear, I must be depressed to get cheered up by an overclocking video, anyhow I am, especially now I am off to watch Friday's World Cup matches.

hahaha i'm liking the outtakes at the end mate :)

Tom, non-k version is only 4.0 GHZ turbo...

Isn't Broadwell the "tick", with this falling under the "tock" that is Haswell?

Just FYI: One of the charts you show from Intel identifies this part as the 4790k, not the 4970k as you have in the title of this video. Since they do make a series of 49x0k parts for LGA2011, people could be confused.

Ugh, I can't wait for the 25th! This is the last part I need before I order the parts for my build.

Tom I love to see you instead of using your cam to capture your screen you use fraps or some other recording software to get a better image for us. It really would be for the best. And It was disappointing that this video was not a hour long lol.

i have been messing with my overclocks the past couple of days, i have been able to hit 4.8ghz with a vcore of 1.275v the system was stable, and the temps are good with the corsair h110 with new sp140 fans, i have dropped the 4.8ghz to 4.5ghz with a vcore of 1.1775v maximum temp on the cpu was 46ºC after 15 minutes of aida64 stress test, this is going to be my every day settings, the temps are amazing and the voltage input is low btw the hottest core while testing was 58ºC,

wrong thumbnail???? or....?

Keeping screenshots is really smart. Very scientific of you. kudos

I noticed that AVX capable Linpack is not enabled in the screenshots for the temperatures in OCCT. If I recall correctly, you had it enabled for the 4770k review and mostly always do for heatsinks tests. Without it, the temps could be around 10-degrees lower and not comparable to other tests.

Testing a 4790k right now, if you want to stay stock, grab the 4790k, if you want to OC, get the 4770k. New processors just aren't OC very well.

Audio on this vid seems to have quite a bit of noice. I think it's insane that it took Intel 2 years to put decent TIM on their unlocked CPUs. Here's hoping they'll carry the thermal design on to Broadwell and Skylake.

Really looking forward to Haswell-E 5930K, have had my 3930K for a while now, i'm ready for an upgrade.

I'm happy with my 4790K, was a great upgrade from my Q9550

Good review, thank you! One missed point might be that the MSRP is exactly the same as the 4770K.

is he saying at the beginning 'hey guys it's tiny tom logan' or is it just me

hello Tom got an i7 4770K cant clock it to 4.5 mhz ( water cooled H80i ) having to run it at stock o-0, also only got the memory ruining at 2100 mhz (hyperX 8GB standard 2100mhz ) on a maximus Hero VI Board on win 8, been a nightmare could do with some help with settings in the bios

My 4770K topped out at 4.3.. still pleased.

Hi TTL, I have been following your reviews and other stuff since last couple of years and would like to give you thumbs up for keeping the reviews as realistic as possible. I wish to understand certain things for my new rig which I am building after four years. I have a maximus vii hero, what I want to know is what cpu should I go for, the Haswell i7 K chip or the devil's Canyon counterpart?? Also, kindly do a review of maximus vii hero with this devil's Canyon.

except the 4790 (non k) is clocked 3.6 ghz, turbo to 4 ghz, rather than 4.0 to 4.4. so still worth getting the k, even if you don't want to overclock.

Can we see your setup since you changed it up pls?

When can we expect the 4690K review and maybe a comparison with the 4790K?

Have been waiting for this...

Awesome video and all, but that static background noise is driving me absolutely insane throughout the entire video lol. I don't know if it would be audible for everyone but I'm using a high quality headset so for me at least I was ready to smack my nuts on a cactus.

My 4770K is stable with 4.5 @ 1.27 I'm pretty happy with that

what was up with your mic?

Mr. Logan, can you please delid it and have a go with clu ? Those temps are terrible compared to my 3570K running a direct contact d14. Have people forgotten just how good sandy was with decent, soldered heat spreaders ?

5:47, in terms of upgrades I do agree that it comes handy, BUT, intel just upgraded the z87 price too... My Z87-K was 90$ when I bought it in September, now its 140$ lol... Kind of a greedy move by Intel, now there is literally no reason to buy z87 boards, they cost just as much as the z97. At least if they had the z87 prices reducted Im sure alot of ppl woulda bought them since its almost the same as the z97 xcept for the m.2 support.

The audio is horrible (17:00). Having a nicer camera is nice, but I found your videos much better as in higher quality before the camera upgrade.

Hi. Great review. as usual. But I have one question. I'm building a new system soon. Should I buy the 4790K or the 5820K

Tom , worth upgrading my 3930K to this cpu?

I thought you were supposed to run AVX capable linpack with haswell?

would this be a good upgrade from a i7 940@4ghz?

I know he's British but ''Bob's your uncle'' still caught me off guard.

OC3D TV Really nice that the new CPU's are backwards compatible with Z87! Might consider getting one if the Gigabyte Z87X-OC get's a BIOS update :) Although I MIGHT get a Z87X-SOC Force :)

I didn't know (4970) processors existed...or maybe you're referring too the (4790)...

Yeah, that voltage is about right for a clock of 4.8. I have my voltage set to 1.323 but under stress I see an absolute max (prime 95 V. 26.6) of 1.352 Volts and a usual maximum of 1.344 on the blend test. I couldn't figure out what setting was causing my voltage to go about .020 over, but I ran three different monitoring applications including CPU-Z and they all showed the same. I am pretty happy with an average maximum of 1.344V at 4.8GHz @ 76°C under an H105 with Noctua IPPC fans. Maximum spikes were 83°C, but that temperature is impossible to recreate in everyday gaming and regular use.

Sweet I was just wishing that one of my fav KZfaq channels would put up a new video. Thanks TTL!

Is this a good time to upgrade from sandy (2600k). Or should I stay at sandy as there hasn't been any massive jumps in performance? All I do is gaming really with a bit of infrequent 3D CAD rendering.

You have got to get ridd of your mic, or try to fix the static and hiss. better use the camera mic til you get a new one... this is just a suggestion Tom, love your vids :-)

Hey guys! I'm getting a new setup. Will this run games like COD and Battlefield at decent framerates? CPU: Intel i7 4790k 4.0ghz MOBO: MSI Z97 PC MATE RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury DDR3 8GB RAM 1866 mHz CPU COOLER: Corsair H55 Hydro Series PSU: Corsair CX750M HDD: WD Blue 1TB HDD 7200rpm SSD: Kingston 120GB GPU: EVGA Geforce GTX 960 2GB GDDR5 All thoughts appreciated! Thanks!

Still happy with my OC at 4.5 Ghz on my Core i7 2600K. No need to upgrade for a long while....

Can you guys please put chapters in the video description from now on. Would rather skip to parts I'm interested in instead of 'searching for it'.

2600K 5,3 Ghz CINEBENCH r11,5 My Devils Canyon 2600K OC 5,3 Ghz

Tom, you might want to double-check and clarify. The i7 4790 is NOT Devil's Canyon, it's merely a Haswell refresh and technically not just a non-K version. The i7 4790 is 3.6GHz base and turbos to 4GHz and doesn't have the capacitors and improved thermals because it's not an overclocking chip.

As I'm CPUless I'll be going with a 4790 just not sure whether it'll be the K or not, will have to wait to see how the z97 sabertooth handles it

OC3D TV Tom Logan Hi, not related to Devil's Canyon but... Are you going to the i52 Trade Event? (Trade Event is the say before the normal i52) :)

I built my first two desktops with this cpu as choice, just awesome cpu!

Hey Tom, just a heads up that your sound is pretty bad on this video - especially when you start going over the Cinebench results at 16:30 onwards.

I have a couple off questions: Does the 400 mHz between base and turbo clock make a difference in a application/program? (If so how much?) I mean can´t you just turn off the turbo boost clock and just be fine? With no further problems? I´m not an expert on computers, I´m just curious so please no hate:)

well time for some testing, My 4770K is 4.4 @1.35 so im going to delid it and see what i can get. if it fails time for a 4790K.

The turbo thing on idle seems to be on every board including my Toshiba laptop if I set performance on high

as always a nice video with good information what would you say is better the AMD A10-6800K Black Edition which can hit 5GHz when overclocked or go with this devil which seems to be a haswell with better cooling i guess its all down to what you want from your system i like to have peace of mind knowing its going to last 4/5 years

So, I just want to be sure; can the 4790k work on a z87 board? I plan on buying the Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD4H motherboard and I'm still not certain whether it is compatible or not. It's either the 4790k or 4770k.

I need this Chip!!! My next upgrade

Wow, I think i've won the silicon lottery, mine can run 4.7 at 1.150. Just got it a few hours ago and will try higher clocks but something tells me it gets very hot even at low volts.

My 4770k on auto clock on asrock z87m oc 4.8ghz. Running with corsair h80i. At load 60 degrees. on idle 35.

what about sandybridge i got 2500k should i get 4790k?

I have to disagree somewhat. The heat problem with the 4770K can be easily cured. After delidding (removing the IHS) if one scrapes away the black gunk that Intel uses to glue it on (and gets rid of the ridiculously thick amount of thermal paste Intel whacked on), if one puts some good thermal paste on the the CPU and replaces the lid (which is now closer to the CPU then it will easily perform a lot cooler at a higher clocking than before. To me what Intel has done strikes me as what IBM used to do with their servers (look up "golden screwdriver") or with their aborted MicroChannel bus. Intel to my mind deliberately crippled the 4770K so that they could have a second bite at the cherry and offer those who had bought the 4770K an "upgrade".

Please get an editor and a script writer. 20+ minutes is just too long.

On a Phenom II X4 955, I'm dying to upgrade to anything that's decent (so that's nothing from AMD then). Devil's Canyon will be my calling

Probably gonna be building a gaming computer around September time and Im really liking this cpu is there any point waiting for Christmas for ddr4 support cpus and ddr4 motherboards or do i just get this for gaming ???? opinions please ???

and Bob's your uncle! EPIC :D haven't heard that for a long time :D

in case youre not overclocking the 4790k it still has higher clockspeeds than the 4790. Is this still the fact on a h97 board ? will it still run with 4.0/4.4 ghz ? or will it run like the non k version ?

So I'm overclocking my 4790K and I am using 4.6 with 1.3V is that too high? I still get blue screens though. Is TOO much voltage causing blue screens?

4790 and 4790k DONT have thesame base and turbo speed!

Hello Tom,hello guys... 2:20 Where can i find this guide for setting the memory up(overclock3d.net)? keep up the good work mate...

I don't get it.. he sais 4.4 ghz, then 4.6... 4.8... what about MEMORY speed at 4.4 and 4.6? I'm trying to OC my 4790k atm, and can't understand what memory timings i should use...

Will you make an review of the i5-4690K?

Hey OC3D what would you recommend the voltage for a 4.7GHz overclock on the 4790K, currently I using 1.331v

I still love my i7-3770k @ 4.6ghz w/ 1.2v :D

This may sound like a silly question but is there a noticeably big difference in performance between the 4790K and the FX9590?. I do a lot of video editing and gaming, so is it worth switching over from the FX9590 to the 4790K?. Is the 4790K stable and reliable?. I love my FX9590 and Asus crosshair V formula Z. They have been rock solid and never given me any trouble. However, my formula Z is 2 years old now and starting to show it's age (it cant compete with latest z97 and X99 mobos). I am also reading online that AM3+ is technically dead (as no more new AM3+ mobos coming out). So I'm figuring to switch over to intel as a stop gap until the new gen AMD K12/X86 cpu and AM4 mobos come out in March 2016. If I sell my AMD rig now, I can get good money for it. So what say you?.

Can't say about this one but I have had the i5 4690k installed for about a week now. I get max temps of about 58 Celsius, when playing games. When not under much load, it stays around 38-40 Celsius. Maybe I just got a great specimen but the temps are awesome.

I am not sure whether I really need this cpu, I have an i5-4670K that is doing 4.7GHz at 1.34v with reasonable temperatures ( water )

what is the fastest most reliable with high expandability motherboard for this chip im focused on gaming motherboards and ive looked at all of them from msi, asus, evga, gigabyte

Question: can i increase the turbo clock to 4.8GHz & leaving the stock clock to 4.4GHz is there a way i am using MSI Z97M Gaming

could you do a video of the new pentium chip, would love to hear your thoughts!?!

Sadly still no Need to Upgrade my 2500k @5.2Ghz on Air cooling... I guess it will Take a couple years where it will be really worth it...

So they fixed the heat ''issues'' with the 4770k, a tiny bit more powerful alright. No need to change my 4770k ;)

did you say the 4790k won't do 2400 mhrtz ram? I'm running that speed ram

Tom... the 4790 is 3.6GHz/4GHz default not 4/4.4 like the k version... the 4790 is not a devils canyon cpu it is a standard haswell cpu even intel calls it haswell not DC.

because 4970 should eventually have an x next to it?

3770k 4.4ghz teamed up with 780ti here. Still kicking ass.

what case in the background? looks very nice and compact.

I thought the regular 4790 only did 4.0ghz in turbo mode??

the mobos have problems with voltage with devil's canyon if they're not z97

Can I just ask where you got your chair in this video from please. Ta?
