  • Still processing like a pro

    An Awesome processor despite the age of the intel generation. It still performs well for gaming, software development and much more. For animation and rendering its single core functions are amazing. It has 4 physical cores with 8 logical processors that clock high, so if your rendering a big project or just crunching data it will do it all. Make sure you check your motherboards compatibility listing or the intel compatibility listing to verify you have the correct chipset and LGA form factor to use this processor.

  • Awesome sauce

    I've always wanted a Dell optiplex when I grew up so I decided to get one. Sure the the i3-4160 was a good processor for browsing and stuff but I wanted something that I could use for gaming and video editing. This i7-4790 delivered even though it's older than my laptops cpu it still kicks it's but with raw performance and single core. Can in great condition and I use EVGA frostbite 2 thermal paste and boom under 70 most of the time even on all load.

  • Intel's i7-4790 is still a very relevant CPU if you have a motherboard for it.

    The i-4790 is still a very good CPU, but with today's applications, get 32 GBs (unless you only have 2 slots) of DRAM and a good video card. Do yourself a favor, and get a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO--I also used Arctic Silver instead of the included Cooler Master CPU paste; the cooler and the paste cooled my i7-4970 by about 25 degrees Celsius over stock cooler. The Cooler Master fan is very adequate, but Noctua fans are quieter.

  • Worth the upgrade if your software needs it.

    I upgraded from a 3.6 GHz core i3 dual core to a 3.6Ghz core i7 quad core. Frankly, for most applications, there is no change that I can perceive. However Photoshop now runs considerably faster and some Steam games which I could not run at all, now run very smoothly. Its all in what the software can do with the hardware. If I had it to do all over again, yes, I would go for the core i7. One of these days it'll be time to upgrade the 1150 Asus motherboard I have and go to a newer generation cpu, but the Asus has been a tank.

  • Intel i7-4790 CPU Upgrade

    The order was processed efficiently and arrived as promised. The unit is a used CPU and was easy to install in a Dell computer with an older Intel i5-4460 CPU. The BIOS immediately recognized the CPU and Windows 10 performed as it had with the Intel i5-4460 but about 225% faster. There was an increase in clock speed and double the streams handled by 4 cores. Used the same cooling fan and heat sink with new thermal paste and temperatures are cooler than the Motherboard temperature. Very satisfied with the upgrade.

  • CPU Speeds up processing on an old Personal Computer

    Received CPU as promised. Well packaged. Installation was easy and so far the CPU is working great. Definitely increased the operational speed of my old computer. Would certainly use this provider again.

  • Gets things done.

    Had an old dell sff and switched out the older cpu. The 4790 makes my old computer feel like new! Im able to multitask more because the i7 is a 4 core 8 thread cpu while the old pentium i replaced is a 2 core 2 thread cpu. On top of the cpu upgrade I also threw in an ssd and man oh man does this feel like a desktop that was made today!

  • Big difference in performance

    Major difference in performance and speed. This was a great choice over buying a new desktop. Easy change over, replaced processor and installed all drivers and updates in less than an hour.

  • Intel i7 4790 upgrade

    This is the best cpu for the computer I installed it in. This replaced an i3 that was previously installed. I had to activate 2 of the 4 cores but this was a minor inconvenience. If you are upgrading from a 2 core Intel chip to a 4 core you may have to do this. Does the new cpu make this a fire breathing gamer? No, but it is noticeably quicker in response feel and much more consistent when working with several large apps or programs at the same time. Do I notice a difference? Absolutely, however overall performance and response has to do with several components and hardware upgrades.
