Processor of the Haswell Refresh series. Has a performance advantage over the conventional 4th gen i7 processors, but costs the same (sometimes even less) than the 4th gen i7.
In all previous loads and tests, it has performed superbly. One of the best and fastest processors at the moment. However, not suitable for overclockers, as there is no free multiplier. If you don't plan to overclock, this is the right processor for you. The BOX cooler supplied does its job well and installation is child's play. Since there is no overclocking, no special expensive cooler is necessary.
Absolutely recommended purchase.

I have the i7 4790 on a new ASUS Maximus VII Ranger motherboard, cooled with an older be quiet! Dark Rock Advanced C1 that has been in use for a long time.
Super performance, whisper quiet. My Linux and Windows VM clients with Oracle DBs are faster than some productive DB servers.
I don't want to and can't overclock - with this setup, it's not the processor that's the bottleneck - rather the memory or number of disks.
Honestly, I can only recommend it.

Performed all tasks without problems so far. Heavy multitasking is absolutely no problem. Runs smoothly.
