My 4770k clocks to 4.3ghz stable and reaches 67c while running r23 looped at 1.225v and has been my daily system since 2014

Impressive comparison !

how much do you think i could overclock with the intel stock cooler with the i7 4790k

870 오버랑 4770K 궁금했는데, 이곳에서 대략 궁금한 점을 해소할 수 있어서 좋네요. 건승하시길

El I7 4770K puede mas que 4.2ghz, por que no lo subiste mas ?

I have 4770k at 4400 MHz and 2400 RAM ,11.13.13.1 t , has been working in this configuration since 2013 ! today it is already paired with 6800 XT, and a 4k monitor, everything is more than satisfied ! I think I'll change another video card))

Great video (except for the music) very helpful thank you. In 2024 I see 4790k is still overpriced but 4770k has better deals.

4790 (not k) vs 4770k ?

Bruh I got 4790 for 10K in my country currency which is 32usd so I think it's a good deal in 2024?

this video helps me a lot now i can play helldivers 2 with 6600 xt with no lag, thanks dude

Were you running the 2600k at stock settings or OCed? If OCed, that's hardly a straight generational comparison considering the Silicon Lottery comes into effect at that point. Either way, you were cranking games to Ultra and the 870 was still more than playable in most instances, so if you can get one on the cheap, it's still a potentially good deal. I ran an 870 until 2020 and only upgraded because a friend gave me a 3770, and the real world differences in performance were negligible. My eldest child currently uses the 870 and it plays all the games she wants to play just fine.

Thanks for such good benchmarks! Thanks for the video!

Thank you for the information 👍

Mine ran @ 5000 MHz @ 1.42V ... stable for years ... no sign of degrading ... had to upgrade afterwards. ;) Still cherish this CPU like my 1080 Ti <3

Old video but.. Have a 4770k@4.5ghz under AIO. Vcore is 1.26V. Run fine! 30 degrees idle. Cinebench (last one) 70-75 degrees. All day softs and games...45-60 degrees. A good one! Paired with a 1060 6gb and soon a 1070ti. CPUZ score put it on 7700k non OC level!

Stunning guide, thank you so much ! I was able to get my 4790k at a stable 4.7Ghz but the poor thing seems to be incapable of pushing 4.8Ghz.

I've got a both of these CPUs. My secondary PC that I use mainly for laser engraving has a regular 4790 paired with a Fury Nano. My main rig has a 4790k @ 4.8 with a Nitro+ 5700xt- the overclock makes a noticeable difference. I love my main rig but it is showing it's age and its mostly maxed out- it can handle a slightly more powerful GPU, but not by much. The 4790k was probably the best buy I've ever made on a PC part, I'm still happy with it. I am building a new rig here soon though, just need that $$ I'd have liked to have seen 1440p (my resolution). The CPU makes less of a difference at higher resolutions so say at 4k I could probably still use most of a 4080 even though at 1080p it'd probably be around 50% usage. Nice video either way though!

Not worth it, it will still run like crap, like the rest of your outdated system.

3:19 each 100mhz boost is for 4770k 17,8 fps and for 4790k 14,5 Fps boost. So 4770k 4,5ghz would be very close to a 4790k 5,0ghz Fps difference: 5 Fps Very interesting if the calculated makes sense.

budget hardware unboxed

i heard that oc'ing the 4790k and keeping the voltage on auto will cause to overvoltage and fry your cpu is this true?

I've managed to get 2 settings, 1 for air cooled 1 for water-cooled. Air cooled i7 4790k Set at 1.115v core voltage giving 4.4ghz base 4.8ghz boost, 74c under load Water-cooled i7 4790k Set at 1.17v core voltage giving 4.6ghz base 5.27ghz boost 76c under load Both completely stable

4.7 @ 1.275v good chip

thanks to your video now i see that my motherboard actually doesn't support 3 or 4 sticks of ram, as my speed has been downgraded to 1333 instead of 1600

I kinda wish you normalized for the RAM speeds, and then had a separate RAM OC data point. My rationale is that the 4770k, when OCed, is very close to the speed of the 4790k; however, there is a significant disparity in their two data points. This disparity between an OCed 4770k and a stock 4790k could be attributable to the RAM OC the 4770k has compared to the stock 4790k. Not going to ask you to do this all over again three years after the fact. But perhaps you would consider having a look at this topic with a dedicated RAM overclocking video for the DDR3, DDR4, & DDR5 generations?

I7 4790 have 3.60 Ghz frequency not 4 Ghz?? Please reply

Good video, nicely laid out and easy to follow, though the choice to only test at lowest settings does unfortunately leave out some context. I run a 3770K (still) with 2666mhz ram and a 1070 ti, playing at 1080p. I'm the sort of gamer who isn't all that fussed about hundreds of fps, if it means a poor visual experience. I moved from consoles to pc for max graphics settings, andI'd rather have that at 50-70fps personally. With max settings on shadow of the tomb raider, for example... except ray tracing because the gpu does't support it... I'm 99% gpu bottlenecked. I can overclock to 4.7ghz, but I still remain at 99% gpu bottleneck, with no fps difference at all. I'd be surprised if going to a 4790K, leaving everything else the same, would change that bottleneck factor for me, or give much more fps, even if I have fancied one for ages. Actually, just to take my own advice, for further context I've also done these same tests with a xeon, the e5-1680v2, which is effectively an 8c/16t version of the 3770K, and I get the same fps and bottleneck figures, even with the same ram and that cpu running at 4.4ghz. I haven't tested at lower settings myself, though I expect I'd see the same trend as shown in the video. Maybe in future comparison videos you could show lowest, medium, high and ultra settings, so that viewers get a more granular view of where they'll stand in terms of upgrades, relative to how they like to game

For the price and wattage, no, not much worth a few fps for the extra cost and aspects. 1080p is the zone for cheap gaming.

Mid 2023 here. OG build many years ago was an i5 4590 and Msi gtx 960. Ended up having to spend an extra 80 on ram, extra 300 on a used 1070ti. Lasted me very well even with 1440p till about a couple years ago. Still runs most games decently. CPU intense games/unoptimized releases of today (MW2) is pressuring me to commit to a LGA 1700 build. So ready to drop a couple stacks for a new build. However I could end up only having to spend a fraction of that by upgrading to one the best cpus LGA 1150 can offer. With good cooling, it might be a good solution till the next gen of motherboards/CPU’s drop.

What program is used for the FPS graphs? Would it work for VR games ? I want to find out how many FPS I get with a 4790K stock and OC'd setting. 4.6Ghz @ 1.265-1.295V adaptive, depending on load.

Good video. Thank you.

I got a base 4790 for $40...really a great deal

i see ur update version is 10.7 mine is 2.7 and i have the z97 g45 but both our motherboards had the last update in 2016, where did u find that update to 10.7?

Back in 2015 when I got a 4790K and started playing around with overclocks, I learnt to keep the CPU temperature under 85C. The moment it goes over 85C performance crashes, regardless of the clock speed. Best I could get was 4.7GHz at 1.3v

if they were bought at 1600mhz, will XMP not have other options then? only way to get the vengeance cl10 from 1600 to 2400 is manual OC ?

You have saved me so much Research time. Thanks a lot. Well done video.

I have 4,6 with 1.26 but 4.7 with over 1.3 why ?

Hi there, thank you so much for your videos and testing. I just upgraded my GPU and RAM from an AMD R9 280XFX to an nVidia GTX 1080TI and 16 GB to 32 GB of RAM and in CSGO, I don’t even get close to these numbers you have here. The highest FPS I achieved on the benchmark map by uLLetical was like 308. I’ve tried everything from settings to unparking my cores and I am utilizing less than 50% of the GPU and CPU so it doesn’t make sense to me. Perhaps an OC to 4.6 would help. I’m new to overclocking but it seems like, I’ve been having trouble achieving anything stable with my 4790K on a Gigabyte Z97x Gaming 5 motherboard plus Arctic 240mm liquid cooling. Did you overclock through BIOS, or with software like Intel XTU? I’m worried that it could be the RAM that’s causing instability since I bought the sticks separately, but I keep getting shutdowns or blue screens randomly when I have an overclock active and an XMP enabled (they default at 1600mHz even though they are spec’d for 1866mHz). 15 instances of MEMtest running 2GB each over night showed zero errors on the RAM. I know this is two years later, but any help I can get would be greatly appreciated.

Great tutorial. I decided to simply use the OC Genie button which overclocks both CPU and DRAM automatically with optimized voltages and timings. The CPU frequency is 4.4Ghz with this button feature. The motherboard was Z87 MPOWER MAX (same CPU).

i cant find another profile for my ram when i set it to xmp it locks it at 1886 and i cant seem to get my 2133 speeds that it says on the ram.

I have i7 4790k with GTX 980Ti and 16gb of RAM since 2015! And loving it in 2023!

hello how i cant see anything at my bios with oweclocking or something like that and i have lenovo h50 50 can u help me ? or i have to download something ?

Thank you so much for your benchmark. I currently have i7 4790 and was considering upgrading to 4790k that currently costs around $150 CAD on ebay. You've saved my money!

So... It's better to buy non K ?

I purchased a budget build last year for gaming and have been doing minor upgrades to it. Max ram for good buck, better hdd, upgraded PSU, GPU, etc etc. It's turning out to be a top of the line gaming machine from 2014. So to complete the exercise, I'm looking to upgrade the 4790 to the k model. I appreciate the video, I'll hold off until I see it for a bargain. It is still not cheap where I live.

got an i7 4790 case with 8 gigs of ram and 500 gigs hdd for 172.41$ , much improvement from an i5 3320m crappy laptop

My 4790k is running 4633 Mhz stable on stress test and gaming

Thank you for this video! It's really important for me now. Very useful material! Thanks a lot!

I just upgraded my 4690k with 4790k and my 1333mhz 12GB ram to 2400mhz 16GB ram, because my CSGO fps was dropping too low in 1080p. I now have stable 260-500 fps (with GTX 960 2GB) where as with 4690k I was having 110-380 fps (with GTX 960 2GB). 4790k is indeed lovely and I got it for 50$ :)
