Intel Core i7-4790K
Turbo technology boosts performance
Intel has the Upper Hand
Intel Corporation is the world's largest maker of semiconductor circuits. Their success and innovation bring a new generation of CPU architecture: Intel Haswell Refresh.

Major Core Overhaul
Haswell represents Intel's fourth-generation of Core processors and an evolutionary step called Tock. Unlike Tick (Ivy Bridge), it does not consist merely in fine-tuning the production process and adding minor modifications, but brings very significant innovations in the entire core design. The processor features the Haswell New Instruction set, while the GPU core ushers in a new era with an Iris chip
The Intel Core i7-4790Kis clocked at 4.0 GHz and mustbe placed in an 1150 socket.With an increased frequency of 1250 MHz, the Intel HD 4600 integrated graphics card perfectly complements the CPU performance. It works great as an office or a casual home PC capable of Full HD video playback. For a full-fledged gaming experience, however, you should pick a graphics cardfrom our wide selection.
The second generation of theTurbo Boost technology boosts the clock frequency up to 4.4 GHz and enables the cores to exceed their stock frequency. The maximum frequency depends on the number of active cores, while the length of the overclocking period depends on the workload and operating environment. The upper frequency limit is determined by reaching threshold values of the four indicators (number of active cores, electric current drawn, power consumption, CPU temperature).
Cool Accessories
The processor is supplied with a stock cooler with sufficient performance for a trouble-free operation of the CPU. However, we strongly recommend that you choose one of the more advanced aftermarket coolers from our portfolio. The result will be lower temperatures and noise level in the long run.
