4790k

In order to rebuild my i7 4790k gaming rig, which was still acceptably running even modern games such as Elden Ring until the current Asus Z97m-PLUS completely stopped POSTing, I bought a used z87 Maximus VI Gene on ebay. It arrived last week, in great condition and I bench-tested it first with...

I have an i7 4790k CPU with Noctua NH-L12 cooler and Asus Z97 Deluxe motherboard. It is currently running at 4.4Ghz using a stock XMP profile (1600MHz RAM). No fancy voltage settings in the BIOS. Could someone please be kind enough to tell me the easiest dummy-proof step-by-step...

Hi there :) I have a working i5 + B85M-ITX setup and I recently got a 4790K CPU; the CPU works on a separate motherboard but when I replace it on the B85M-ITX and turn it on, fans are spinning and nothing else happens (no video). I notice that the power LED button near the power on button...

I am playing ROX:Next Gen on bluestacks 5 on my pc. It works decently when grinding. However when mvp/mini hunting or event time, the game goes super laggy and occassionally will have frame drops when boss uses skills and i will die. Sometimes when boss ulti, if i manage to run away from the...

Hello everyone, Recently I have started to face a very strange behavior from my CPU. My Intel 4790K shows spikes in clock speed and CPU usage every few secs. I can see that most of the background process sits at 0% usage but still my usage changes from 3-6-12-14-19 and keeps repeating this...

Hi all, I have an issue I just can’t work out which has actually been going on since late March 2020 but I’ve ignored until now with all the lockdown stress. I have a GTX 1060 6gb which I use to display on a triple monitor setup. Until end of March 2020, I had these connected up via...

Hi all, My CPU fan will always start blowing for seconds stop and then start blowing again, it's starting to drive me insane. I've recently cleaned out the entire case as I thought that dust would cause this, there was a good chunk of dust in the CPU cooler but I got rid off that. Stopped doing...

Hi there, Does anyone know if there’s any truth in the idea that a Z97 motherboard would be significantly better than a Z87 for running and overclocking an i7-4790K? I'm planning an upgrade from my successfully de-lidded and overclocked 4760K, to a 4790K which I found at reasonable price and...

Hi, I'm currently running a 4670k at a stable 4.4ghz and was wondering if it's worth dropping in 4790k now that they are around £100. The rest of my system is: AS Rock Z87 Pro4 32gb RipJaw DDR3 2133 (overkill I know but it was an extremely cheap 2nd hand deal) Rx 5700 3 X SSD I mainly game...

I've had an i7-4790k for a long time and I'm starting to feel the power decrease in my FPS so I want to overclock but I have no knowledge in this matter. I would need the help of an expert to tell me if I can overclock with my current setup. Here is my complete setup: CPU: Intel i7-4790K GPU...

I have a system with an ASUS LGA 1150 motherboard, 16gb ddr3 ram, a gtx 980 and an i5 4690K. I want to upgrade my CPU but would have to replace my motherboard, RAM, and CPU if I want to go to a new generation. Is it worth spending $150-200 on a used i7?

A friend of mine thinks I should upgrade my CPU to something newer, but I don't think I need to upgrade because I feel like my CPU is good enough. I have a 4790k overclocked to 4.4 all cores in an Asus MAXIMUS VI EXTREME with 32gb of DDR3 2133mhz. I want to play games on my new 144hz monitor and...

Hello, For the last 3 years, I have been running my 4790k stock with the stock cooler, I was getting around 100c while playing games, so was constantly thermal throttling. Ive now installed a hyper 212 evo, and its nice. I get around 80 with my overclocks, so temperature is no longer an issue...

Are there any big differences between the two setups? Outside of the obvious additional storage capacity.

Earlier this week my 840 evo died abruptly, and I ordered a 970evo. After installing it, I ran into some trouble installing Windows 10. I created a boot device using a flash drive. I would get a blue screen (not a bsod) and nothing else. I even tried setting up and using another flash drive to...
