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!
Review: it was great and really did wonders for me but multi tasking ... - I haven't overclocked this, all I can say is, I can multitask and actually use it to render videos because it's really fast. My last cpu was an i3 dual core - 4 threads (2.9ghz), it was great and really did wonders for me but multi tasking with the i5 is amazing, I like to have chrome and firefox open with tabs galore with a game and other software open, obviously ram plays a huge part here but cpu power is important too. ... also I forgot, I have a cheap heatsink and fan combo - a Cooler Master Hyper TX3 Evo Tower Cooler, which is currently under £17. My cpu under extreme strain never goes over 55 C, it idles around 34. I stress it out with so many things just because it's never gave me any worries. This thing is a bargain, it's a bit pricey.. my two brother both have i7's one of them has one that cost him over £400 and I bet I get more use out of mine and won't notice any difference in reality. Top notch.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The perfect compliment to any gaming system.
*by E***J on 9 March 2016*

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.
