Review: The perfect compliment to any gaming system. - I bought this CPU to upgrade my console killer setup, originally using an air cooled Intel G3258 Dual Core 3.2GHz OCd to 4.1GHz. Was it worth the upgrade to this? Absolutely. Games certainly vary with how much they utilise CPU and GPU and found that this struggled when it come to Fallout 4. Personally I’ve found this is quite CPU intensive even with a GTX 960 4GB with a 200MHz core OC gameplay wasn’t as smooth as I’d have liked. Upgrading to the i5 paired with the H55 liquid cooler was quite a pain although this was more to do with my ITX case not really being compatible with a liquid cooler in push pull. In your more run of the mill full/mid tower cases this would have been an absolute breeze. Once installed I did some benchmarks at stock speeds 3.5GHz and set about overclocking it. Managed a stable 600MHz OC on all 4 cores validated using Prime95 small FFT for max heat for 2hrs. Max Temps did not go above 72 degrees which I am comfortable with ideally the farther away you are from T junction max the better. Please note other peoples mileage with OCing may vary significantly but I have seen higher than 4.1GHz using this CPU. In conclusion this is a great CPU for gamers and has tonnes of over-clocking potential. The extra cores really help bring those frame rates up especially if you are moving from a dual core setup. Here are the only metrics I noted down using fraps Fallout 4 on G3258 @ 4.1GHz = 20-37 FPS average versus the i5 @ 4.1GHz averaging 40-60 FPS It went from playable to silky smooth in one upgrade. Highly recommended.
Review: Amazing processor! - As per most Intel products, this processor is fantastic, even now - more than a year after its release date. The processor arrives in a very small box, with just the processor, a basic heatsink and some instructional booklets. - Oh a cool intel sticker Once in the box the processor can be removed from it's protective plastic casing along with the heatsink. Installing the processor is a simple affair, just stick it into a compatible motherboard, lower the cover and bam! It's installed. If you use the stock cooler, then you just fasten that over the top, depress the clips, plug in and you're done! Otherwise, it's best to follow your cooler's instructions. You will most likely need some thermal paste, this stuff is great: Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound 3.5g Tube . The processor is fast and efficient. It barely generates any heat for how hard it clearly works. It multi-tasks like a dream and will never really lag. It works well for more processor intensive applications too! If you are looking to overclock, I'm sure you already have an idea on how to do so. This processor is perfect for overclocking. It's easy and really simple to do as this is an unlocked processor. Overall, a fantastic product suited to general use of computers with a spot of gaming or photo-shopping etc. Thumbs up!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How is this different from the i5 4670k?**
A: The biggest improvement is in the TIM (thermal interface material) which will improve temp's, resulting in a better overclock. Many enthusiast replaced the TIM on the 4670K's and lowered their temps by 10-20*C. I haven't seen any benchmarks published but I would be surprised if there's more than 5% improvement on any of the test.Also, there is an improvement on the integrated graphics.

**Q: Does this packaging include the heatsink and fan?**
A: Yes, but if you are planning on overclocking, or even pushing the CPU pretty hard, I WOULD get an aftermarket cooler.  You don't need to go overboard with water cooling (although Corsair offers some nice closed loop systems that work very well), but you SHOULD go with something sufficient.  I like the EVO 212 air cooler for a cheap, well made, and good performing air cooling solution.  Noctua makes one like the 212 that works very well also, but at a higher cost (much better fan, but as far as the cooler itself, not so sure about performance difference).

**Q: Is this socket 1150 or 1155? The description, product title, and product comparisons seem to disagree.**
A: Looking at the part # BX80646I54690K from Intel's website says this is a socket 1150 product.http://ark.intel.com/products/80811/Intel-Core-i5-4690K-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_90-GHz

**Q: Does this work with the z87 chipset?**
A: Yes, it's what I installed this CPU with, the Z87-G45 Gaming motherboard from MSI.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great For Overclocking!
*by J***K on 8 August 2016*

I bought the i5-4690K to put in my PC which I am using right now and I have also overclocked it to 4.5GHz which is 1GHz more than stock speeds. This is the highest i5 that you can possibly get on the Haswell Refresh series of CPU's. Now this CPU is amazing at overclocking due to me pairing it up with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo, which keeps it running at a moderately low 45C on idle. However when I start to max out games and start using CPU intensive applications, the CPU will hover at around 70C at maximum load. This temperature is well below it's cut off point (90-100C) before the CPU starts the thermal throttle. If you are into editing or rendering videos, however, this is where the i5 struggles a bit. The i7 line of processors have something known as Hyperthreading, which activates 4 more virtual cores on your machine. So the i7 processor has 4 physical cores, but it has 8 if you combine physical cores and the virtual cores from Hyperthreading, whereas the i5 has no Hyperthreading, meaning that it is stuck at just 4 cores. If you are not into these sort of things, then using the i5 for general usage or gaming should encounter no problems whatsoever. A nice thing that Intel has done was include a stock cooler, meaning that you can turbo boost to 3.9GHz if you do not feel like overclocking. This is a bonus, as the latest Intel Skylake K version processors do not include a stock cooler. Another great thing about this CPU is that it runs in the LGA 1150 Socket, meaning that there are a variety range of Motherboards out there for you to choose from. If you are looking at overclocking, I recommend you going for a Z97 Chipset Motherboard. So overall, do I recommend this product? Yes, I highly recommend this product due to that it is not that far off from an i7, which is not worth spending the extra money at this moment in time.
