Jokes aside, it's the top of the line i5, the unlocked beast. I have a 4670k, it's no 2500k when it comes to OC, but it hasn't dragged anything down or ever crawled along.

good, I am gonna finally replace my 775 build with Q6600 3.0Ghz Soon I will be back on the battlefield without stuttering and CPU bottleneck yay, two more weeks.
I am wondering if a better approach when upgrading now would be to invest in a i7 system, at least, for all the amazing console ports coming out these days. Lots of VRAMs and 8-core recommended specs and all...
I think that i5 at 4-4.5ghz will be enough for next two years. Then I will buy new board with new gen cpus... maybe in two years will be i5 actually six core if not eight core.
Devils Canyon has paste but much better quality, but it still heats up more than necessary, delid + Liquid Ultra will drop temps like atleast 10c.
Im going to delid 3770K today, getting it free from my work (we upgraded our editing PC to a Mac Pro ). Gonna use vice & hairdryer method (very easy and safe, have done it couple times to my friends).
4790K still has problems with the paste?
I thought only 70K series had that..
With Devil's Canyon a TIM is not the problem, the black glue under IHS is. There is too much of it and because of it it rises IHS too much so that contact is fucked up once again.

Got today Maximus VII Gene along with 4790K, seems to be great overclocker, so far atleast WoW and Prime Blend is stable 4,6Ghz@1.2V. Damn so much options for overclocking in this board or Z97 in overall has -.-
Upgraded from Maximus V Gene + 2500K (had for a week delidded 3770K which was like volcano because required shitloads of voltage @ 4,5Ghz, but that chip went to another project in work). Need to run some benchmarks when im done adjusting final clocks, WoW is taking too much time now . Awesome little board aswell, has even tiny dedicated soundcard which has headphone amp, very nice quality for integrated
Couple benchmarks with 4,7Ghz@1.2V what i have been using over week now, awesome chip! Gonna push further when i have time to install my H220X what i got today
