Any reviews and comparisons guys?

Five.Stars · 3 Jun 2014 at 12:09

Aw well, will order from elsewhere - money is better in my accout for a month than ocuk's.

By Asus yes, as the beta BIOS states update for upcoming Devils Canyon and Pentium Anniversary processors.

Yep, i downloaded a copy of the 1504 beta bios at the weekend.

Depends is your 2500k overclocked, its still a very capable chip. Im currently using one and have no problems with it clocked at 4.4 its no slouch. But saying that im getting the 4790k but that's a different story

I'm waiting more alongside the lines of Broadwell / DDR4 to upgrade my i5 2500k sandy.

That might be the line in the sand where there is enough of a good increase in performance to upgrade

The Core i5 2500K is the new Q6600 IMHO.

i agree it's a great chip & handles gaming at ultra settings no problem.

So for those of us right now looking to do a completely fresh build, do I buy a Z97 or a Z87 motherboard?! And do I want and try to grab a 4790k, or get a 4770k and upgrade straight to Broadwell later?

If buying new, you should just go for the z97 board and the 4790k. The prices are pretty similair on the boards anyway so you may as well opt for one due to the new features. Regarding the cpu, if the thermal issues have indeed been sorted, 4790k in a heartbeat. With the 4770k the risk of a hot runner is too high.

Martini1991 · 3 Jun 2014 at 21:23

Probably not a complete list, but you get the point, we've got H81 boards with support etc.

It'll probably be universal support for all 1150.

Intel Core i7-4790K overclocked to 5.5GHz on air, to 6.3GHz with LN2

While the Core i7-4790K central processing units (CPUs) should offer impressive performance even in default mode, the reason why computer enthusiasts are waiting for the new microprocessors to arrive is their improved overclocking potential. Apparently, the latter is indeed pretty impressive.

5.5GHz using a water cooler with LN2 vapour blowing through it.

Ha, they too liberties with the wording of 'air' cooling then

Oh well, at least it's better than a disappointing APU from space..

cwgk91 · 4 Jun 2014 at 21:46

Even if it can only OC to 4.6Ghz its still better than most 4770k you can get at the moment

Five.Stars · 4 Jun 2014 at 23:31

Hmmm I have pre-ordered. Now whether to keep my order or cancel. I am in 2 minds. Don't think my 4770K is a bad chip tbh. Wish I had a bit more spare time to really delve in to the manual overclocking.

wazza300 · 4 Jun 2014 at 23:37

haha some of these claims

great if you have a ln2 tree in your back garden

setter · 4 Jun 2014 at 23:43

Will likely order next week, current chip is proving to be more voltage hungry than i thought. Crashing in games earlier on 0x124 event 18 whea errors. Now running at 1.275v in bios, 1.296 at load.
