Core i7 4790K Processor 5.0 GHz Review - A Silicon Lottery

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 01/08/2015 09:17 AM [ 38 comment(s) ]

When we reviewed the Intel Core i7 4790K processor (Devils Canyon) the Haswell based processor refused to overclock over 4800 MHz. So why not purchase a binned Silicon Lottery processor that is guaranteed to run 5.0 GHz ?

5.0 GHz - stock (non-OC)!??? Wow!? If yes then I'm very interested.

I think you have misunderstood the process here

They're quite reasonably priced even without a discount. A must-have for enthusiasts.

That said, I myself think I'm in the market for a Core i5 without a K. Diminishing returns, you see. Lately, I have been running my CPU at stock speed (down from an OC of 3.6 GHz) and I haven't noticed any meaningful change, even though it's 5 years old. What I'm saying is, I have a crisis of faith in overclocking

Thanks for the great review Hilbert. I've had quite a few people ask about 5820Ks- we will have some up for sale in a few days.

Oh oh oh ,this one interest me more than the 4790K,but if not, the 4790K worth it.
Thanks to you and your team.
