Cons:-not much of an upgrade compared to ivy bridge-runs hot as hell-many chips dont overclock much (ie 4.1ghz) generally wouldnt waste my time if it were of that odds

Pros:-runs fine-mine overclocks to 4.5ghz so i guess i am lucky
Comment:
Its a okay CPU. its not much of an upgrade but if you are coming from gulftown there is a rather large performance gain

Cons:Comes with a lousy heatsink and cheap thermal paste

Pros:Its intel, thats simply that.
Comment:
Got it for $309 on boxing week sales proving to definitely be the better processor for the price. A very solid choice for gaming and for many other tasks.

Intel Core i7 4770K Unlocked Quad Core 3.5GHZ Processor LGA1150 Haswell 8MB Cache Retail
Cons:Not very good at overclocking.

Pros:Very fast even without overclocking.
Comment:
Coming from a 2006 AMD quad core processor, this makes everything much faster - especially with a SSD and a bunch of system memory. I use it mainly for development purposes, including heavy compilation which takes a long time. Sometimes, even multiple compilations at once - that's where hyper-threading comes handy.Also comes in handy for virtualization.I have tried for a whole week to get a stable overclock past 4.2GHz, and it just doesn't cut out, that's my only complaint on this processor, but it was also a main factor in buying it in the first place...

Cons:not perhaps the best overclcocker on air

Pros:performs well stock
Comment:
I tried to push it initially, the chip I got did not respond well, which is fine, I prefer quietness so I left it at 4.0 and it's perfectly stable and happy there and I'm able to leave my CPU fan and my 1 case fan both at extremely low RPM with no heat issues.

Cons:really hot to OC

Pros:nice low power consumption, runs cool at stock clock and idling
Comment:
As numerous other reviewers have stated: you get a little less OC potential than a 3770k. Power consumption and performance are the name of the game. Don't buy this chip if you simply want high clock speeds. I've gotten mine up to 4.3ghz r ~73*C under extreme stress tests, which seems to be a middle-of-the-road overclock. If you wanna OC high, get yourself a nice aftermarket cooler and away you go.

Cons:- Regular price here is a real joke, 390$ lol. The regular where I work at CC is 355$ and I still consider that overpriced. I paid mine on Black Friday 305$ only.- Stock heatsink of course lol. I'd rather have none and save another 5$.

Pros:- Hyperthreading. Honestly the only reason to get the i7 instead of the i5. Games now finaly start making use of this technology such as Battlefield 4 which use up to 8 cores so there will be much less strain on the cpu if you have this instead of the i5.- Fastest CPU around, overclock to 4.2Ghz by pushing 1 button and could prolly get manually to 4.5Ghz on air if I'd spend the time.- Lower power consumption than Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge.
Comment:
I upgraded from an (i5 2500K t 4.5Ghz) to this (i7 4770K t 4.2Ghz) and so far it's really good! At the ridiculously low price of 305$ I've got, selling my previous for 200$ will make the upgrade only about 110$ so totally worth it.

Cons:Expensive. At around 80 - 100 dollars over the i5, you are paying a premium for the extra hpyerthreading and speed.

Pros:Very fast processor for most of my daily computing needs. I do not do any video editing or things of that sort so I didnt need more cores.
Comment:
Its a fast chip for sure, but also expensive. I got a Noctua D14 heatsink/fan and the cpu runs around 26 degs idle and 55 degs under load. So its been relatively cool for temps. As mentioned in the pros and cons, it is a fast chip at a premium price!

Cons:Haswell gets a bit warm

Pros:Very fast, very efficient, C6 state
Comment:
It is a wickedly fast processor that can handle anything you can toss in its direction. Highly recommended if you do a lot of multithreaded computing. Gamers should probably look toward a 4670 model to save some money though.

Cons:none

Pros:- fast- intel reliability- hyper-threading- price
Comment:
What can I say, it's a great CPU for the money. You can waste your money on the extreme 6 core chips if you want, but this is probably the best bang for your buck. I got this over the i5 because it was on a way better combo deal with an Asus z87-pro mobo and for the little extra I'd like to have the hyper-threading.Installation was a breeze and it overclocked to 4.6Ghz easily on air cooling. I could probably push it a little more, but it's running under 65C on full load right now.

je recommande tout simplement, l'achat du 4770k certe est une bonne dépense mais je croit quelle en vos le cout a long terme. This review was modfied by poster @ 12-12-13 12:40 PM

I managed to get it stable at 4.4ghz 1.26v with my ram at stock 1866mhz. I'm sure I could get it higher without going past 1.3v but I'm satisfied for now.

Got it to 4.8ghz 1.275v with no problems, dram 1866 at 2000I would still prefer a 3930k/4930k over it, but went with 4770k until proper Haswell-E (5930k?) comes out next year. that one will be a doozy

Not as great a overclocker as its predecessor, however much better efficiency and provides hyper-threading for your needs. Overall if your trying to build a greener system definitely recommend.

Cons:Poor overclocking potential compared to the 3770k.

Pros:Very solid processor.
Comment:
Pretty well exactly what I expected out of it.Although for the performance difference between the 3770k, I should have picked up the 3770k for the overclocking potential.My 4770k is capped at 4.3 with 1.2/1.8/43/39 due to temperatures reaching 80-85 under p95 with a hyper 212 evo. Not the best overclocker.
