    Dyeing Intel CPU ?

    Ok then it sounds as if Intel will still have options for this CPU. I was looking at a micro ATX the other day. It will go nicely with my Seasonic 660 Pentium and HyperX Predaitor with the GT 760 w/5GB ram. Ok so I'll go for the 2011-V3. If there is anymore advice please send it . Thank you all

Two things are stopping me (1) I hear the 4790K over heats (2) is designed to overclock (which I won't do). I am putting in a EVGA GTX 760 and new...
